Called Ken first thing this morning and needed to bring my car in. I had arranged a rental car. When I arrived, they got me right in, did not have to get the rental car and Jack/Joseph had my vehicle fixed within 30 minutes. I did not have to get the rental car and they saved me a great deal of money. Highly recommend this business for any car repair. I wish there were more stars to rate this business. They are a 10 in my book.

STUCK ON I65 We were driving home to Tampa from Huntsville,…read morewhen our car decided to dump a good portion of its coolant and overheat! We starting calling around for help and we finally got in touch with Ken Powell at Decatur Highway Transmission & Motor. Having your car break down is never a fun experience, but I actually didn't mind the trouble simply because of the fact that we got to meet Ken, Rayburn and the boys at Decatur Highway. They are great mechanics who quickly found the problem and formulated a plan to get us back on the road as quick as possible. However, their hospitality and genuine kindness are what stood out the most! It truly felt like we were family.

Requested my wife's 2016 Buick enclave with a transmission issue to be looked at and diagnosed,…read moreover the phone before even seeing the car he stated it probably needed to be rebuilt and that he had done quite a few rebuilds of this type. I asked if he could look at it and give me a quote on what needed to be done. I waited a few days and called back in which he stated that he had the transmission rebuilt and was working on getting it back in, I was not happy. I received a quote of $5,080.00 for the work done. I had a quote from a different shop for a brand new transmission for $6000.00. I got the car back 3-4 days later and about 2-3 weeks later noticed there was a shudder in which he said on 2 occasions of bringing the car to him that he couldn't feel anything wrong with it, so wife continued to drive the car. The transmission lasted a little over a year and approximately 20,000 miles before it was shifting horribly and lost reverse all together. It was over the warranty period so I didn't even bothalling Kenny's back. We have had to let the car go back as we are still paying on the car and the loan we took out to have the transmission rebuilt, which with the quote I was given after the work was started I wouldve opted for the brand new one. This was and is the worst experience I've ever had with a repair shop.

I came in needing a wheel bearing replaced, as well as front brakes and rotors. I was quoted a…read morereasonable price compared to the place I usually take my car for maintenance. I was told that it was not my wheel bearing, but my transmission that was making the noise. I went ahead and had the front brakes and rotors replaced. I then took my 2019 Camry to a transmission place, and of course, they said my transmission was perfectly fine, that it was my wheel bearing. So after have three different people/places (including my boyfriend, who has a master C license) tell me that I needed my wheel bearing replaced, not only time was wasted, but an extra $125 to have someone look at my perfectly good transmission, was also wasted. I will NEVER take my car to them ever again.

The next day we brought the car back in because the…read moreRPMs was going into the red whenever we would speed up to pass someone and per Birmingham location the service department and manager told us it was normal for a vehicle to do this. So let's move on, we had an error code for camshaft sensor on 1/3/2026 we notified Holmes motors of this error code and to tow it there it of cost $100 using my insurance for towing and they claimed he was over mileage and according to the paper we were not. We had to have the car fixed we had the vavle cover gaskets, crankshaft seal (front), rear disc pads, oil filter and oil done fixed. Now during this time our vehicle was in the shop for approximately 3 weeks after getting fixed. Then we had to replace the wheel bearing on front passenger on 2/10/2026 as i sent message for service at Holmes and nothing from them. Now as of 2/20/26 the engine is gone. Pistons broke, engine oil all over the car, engine oil pan replaced. So let's see if Holmes will replace this vehicle as my son has made his pymts on time if not early at $240 biweekly and we put down $2000 on a car on 10/13/25 that is not drivable and have been having issues since we gotten the vehicle. If they would of done a proper inspection on this vehicle when we brought it into them then maybe they would of caught this issue before it gotten this bad to where this vehicle is no longer drivable.

Also, they were the only shop I could find nearby that would work on VW. The ignition lock cylinder on my 2010 Jetta randomly stopped working one day, and they replaced it and saved me from worsening my headache working on that thing. Plus their pricing seems really good to me. So I would definitely recommend Gear Grinder's Garage over anyone else in the Springville/Argo area.
