1966 Plymouth Fury VIP

Had a severe transmission leak for many years. My confidence is solidified in Vanesa and her brother. Excellent service. Replaced my transmission case with correct year case. My car shifts smoothly and has not one leak to speak of! **They didn't leave a mark or scratch on my paint!** Attention to detail and quality work. I'm dealing with these folks for all of my classics and moderns.

First initial experience was great but the very end was absolutely horrible. I took my car to SD transmissions because I was having rpm problems and figured it was a transmission issue. I was told that an initial scan of my car would be 90 dollars and any other service with them that 90 dollars would be a credited towards those services (a 90 dollar discount). After the initial scan their employee Jeff (who was helping me all throughout my time there) told me they would have to take my transmission out and do a full check and it would cost 895 dollars plus the 90 dollar credit which would be 805 dollars. That was a lot of money but I needed to figure out what was wrong. After they did the inside check they told me it would be 2900 to fix. (mind my transmission did not need to be replaced) Unfortunately that was too much money for me and I decided to not go through with the services and just sell my car instead. I spoke with a junkyard telling them about my transmission problems and was told I would be getting 940 dollars since the car did still run. The day of pick up I paid Jeff and stupidly paid the 895 dollars without noticing the 90 dollar credit was not given (my own fault). After I paid , my business with SD transmissions was over. Before speaking with the junkyard employee Jeff took it upon himself to lie to the employee and say my transmission needed to be replaced and it was not drivable. I was never told this and would've discussed this with the junkyard while doing my appraisal. Jeff had no right to speak to this man at all because this was my own personal business not regarding him. Due to his lies i was only given 500 dollars. I lost 400 dollars which would've helped me with the almost 900 dollars I just paid. I was lied to and my money was stolen from me and put into a deeper financial hardship. I will never be doing business with SD transmissions ever again.

wouldn't go anywhere else for transmission work, great prices, great customer service and great work. Definitely a 5 star transmission shop. Vanesa Took the time to advise and get the best deal on quality parts for differential and Axles rebuild , also had my 6L80E rebuild stage 1 with shift kit done there , SDtransmission IS best in Town !!! Richard was very knowledgeable and understanding great guy.

I don't even know that you needed to get your tires rotated every so often so I ended up buying 4 new tires earlier this year due to them all being bald... ANYWAYS they took real good care of me there, I called when they opened and was told that they take walkins but it's also better to make an appointment just in case. Showed up, filled out some simple paperwork and was in and out within 2 hours. They explained to me with a break model showing me how bad they were and how my rotars had damage as well. After that conversation I requested to see the breaks and rotars that they had removed and he said yes. They were very low and barely there . When it was time to pay I asked if they had military discount and they do. They apply it to the service fee but the entire thing. Nice 10%. He also provided me a copy of my receipt and explained everything that was on it to me. He was very kind and patient. I wish I had his name, all I know is that he's bald and light skinned.

After calling a few different repair shops, I spoke with Amanda at Supreme Auto Repair. She was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and her excellent customer service is what ultimately convinced me to bring my car in. When I arrived, I met Lejon, who was equally welcoming, attentive, and helpful. The pricing was very reasonable, and the service was excellent. After the repair, I noticed my emergency brake wasn't working properly, so I brought the car back. The team immediately took the time to inspect it and corrected the issue without any hesitation. It turned out to be a minor adjustment to the brake pads, and they handled it quickly and professionally. A special thanks to Mark for getting everything taken care of and making sure my car was working perfectly. It's clear that this team genuinely cares about their customers and stands behind their work. I highly recommend Supreme Auto Repair to anyone looking for honest, reliable service and exceptional customer care.

And also their prices were a lot cheaper than others. I'm the kind of person who takes service seriously so I made sure to do my research around 5-7 of them and even their reviews. Although location they were the furthest out of mine, El Cajon , I went for it for their dedication, rates and even they check on me again days after while I was waiting to make a final decision. When I showed up to the place I got a bit nervous cause their spot seemed like a flee market of a group of mechanics all together and their own expertise areas, but also kinda amazing you can find all of there at the same spot. But they were really nice, honest and direct with what they could do and quick too. The lady in charge of the appointment and admon was amazing., explained the procedures, the tinning and I felt secure and that I could trust these hard working-honest people. Usually I wouldn't even write down a review but thought I'd make it easier for the next person would is in the same spot I was before making my mind. And also credit to those to deserve. It.

Ryan gave me a quote straight and simple, parts and labor. I brought the truck in and waited for it. The waiting room is like a man cave, haha. They specialize in suspensions and it shows. I needed new strut mounts. I appreciate that they showed me the old ones to show the worn condition versus just telling me. I was expecting some parts to need replacement. Prices were fair. Very happy with the outcome. I didn't want anything over the top, didn't want to go with any cheap spacers, yet didn't want to overspend. Happy with my Bilsteins.

Their pricing was competitive compared to other quotes I received, and while the job wasn't completed especially quickly, the turnaround time was reasonable and within what I expected. The main reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that several of my gloss black lug nuts were heavily marred during the installation and will likely need to be replaced. My wheels and tires had been installed just two days earlier, and I specifically paid extra for those lug nuts, so it was frustrating to see them damaged almost immediately. The suspension work appears to have been done well, but I wish more care had been taken to protect the wheels and hardware during the process. Other than that, the experience was positive and I'd consider using them again.
