Sonora Transmissions fixed our Acura MDX recently and they did a fantastic job. From our first interactions with Sonora Transmissions - they were nothing but informative, helpful, and pleasant. Their staff went out of their way to call us in regards to any updates about our vehicle and they walked us through all of the costs, and procedures needed to help get our Acura MDX -realigned and driving smoothly again. You can tell that the staff truly care about their customers and their customers' vehicles. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again if we ever needed any future work to be done on our vehicle(s). Trust. read more

Took a shot on a new place and they did not disappoint. They were friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. Had an oil change and transmission serviced in under 2.5 hours. We'll be back! read more

The guys fixed our Tacoma and had a new clutch put in while they were at it. Very Nice, knowledgeable and professional. Price was reasonable and they did nice work. read more

Very pleased with the honest communication and service I received from Sonora transmissions. Finding an honest mechanic is not easy nowadays. Freddy and his team of mechanics worked to resolve all of my concerns! Highly recommended if you have check engine light or need work done! read more

The transmission was due for service on my 06 dodge 2500. I arrived on time for my appointment and they started working on it within 10 min. After the work was completed I was told an adjustment was also done. An inside bolt was loose and he fixed it. I asked what the bolt controls and was told 2nd gear. My truck has been lurching in 2nd gear for years. Through 3 service calls. My truck shifts great. Ill be bringing my other two vehicles here soon. read more

Being new in town I was skeptical about taking my Jeep to a dealership. After asking around this shop came highly recommended. I called made an appointment and needless to say they were wonderful. Mike and Freddie were extremely knowledgeable and my issue was taken care of within a day. Will definitely be back for all of my Jeep needs. read more

The staff here is friendly, honest and professional. I worked with the advisor Freddy, he was very helpful and knew his stuff. They do good work and stand by their warranty. As a mechanic myself I know a good shop when I see one and this is a good shop. read more

They charged me $720 for a tune-up and oil change that took 2 months when it turned out to be catalytic converter that they can't handle. Very disappointed with the lack of communication, lengthy time and lack of skills. Should have went to the dealer. The vehicle showed immediate signs of improper functioning and was sluggish leading to non drivable within 1 month. read more

I think Sonora Transmissions is an excellent, honest business. I brought my 20 year old truck in knowing the transmission was going out. It was slipping and making wining noises. I was dreading it. But they took a look at it and said, it just needed more fluid(not good on my part). They could have took me for a lot of money, but they were honest. So good job ST! Thank you.. read more

Amazingly professional and welcoming. After having a bad taste left in my mouth from another mechanic in town I was definitely on edge at the thought of having a repeat with a different place. But nope! They were very professional, very honest and they got the problem fixed fast. I Will always recommend Sonora Transmission! read more

I have been to many Mechanics over the last 20+ years after I decided to stop doing it myself. I know when I'm being lied to, and these folks are 100% honest. Not only have they saved me thousands of dollars on repairs that other businesses had quoted unbelievable prices for repairs that were not actually needed, but they are all very friendly and care about customer service. A part of business that has seemed to disappear everywhere, but is very important to me. *These guys also ate thousands of dollars to make a bad situation better for the customer (me) even though it wasn't their fault. Long story short, they put a new engine in my wife's car and had to pull it out 2 more times and replace all the components around it only to find that the new engine block they put in was faulty. Faulty from the factory. Hundreds of man hours and thousands in parts down the drain for them. As you can imagine this took time, so by the time I got the car back, the factory warranty on the engine block was almost half expired. Sonora Transmission said they will warranty it for the full original time even though the original warranty was through the manufacturer. They did this without me even having to ask! If you want quality, honesty, and customer service like the old days, this is the place. read more

My Tundra transmission gave up the ghost after 272,000 miles. Had her towed there. Mike was professional and courteous and made the entire process simple and straight forward. Shared the parts that failed with me. Install was neat and tidy and she runs like she did 272,000 miles ago. Honest and appropriate pricing. Note that they do much more than transmissions. I will be back. read more

Just had a major malfunction in my pick up, lost power brakes and steering and was barely able to wrestle the truck into the edge of Sonora transmission property. I went in and explained myself to one of the technicians and he told me sorry, they have too much business and are three weeks out. Turned me away. I called Steve's Automotive in neighboring Jamestown and he says bring it in right away, that is customer service. Now waiting for my tow truck as I stare at the sonora transmission sign a few feet away. Unbelievable. read more

Fantastic shop, the whole staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, I truly appreciate all there help and the time it took to get my truck serviced and running again, thank you guys! read more

2006 BMW X5. BMW tells me the problem is the transfer case and quotes $7,000 to fix it. I do some internet research, isolate the likely problems, buy $300 worth of parts, call Mike and bring it it. All the parts needed replacing, plus a bearing I couldn't have known about but found that and had it shipped directly. The bill was $785. Add the parts and I'm into it for $1,100 instead of the "recommended" $7,000. Just drove it home and it shifts snappy again in sport mode like brand new. Whish there was a way to give 100 stars. To say I'm happy with these guys is almost a cruel understatement. read more

While preping for a cross country trip, we took our 2002 Dodge Ram2500 in for routine service. We pulled our 5th wheel over 13,000 miles in six months. I felt confident in Mike, Ed and Freddie and all they did prior to our trip. While in Illinois, I encountered a minor issue and was able to call Sonora Transmission for a consultation and was assured all would be fine during the rest our trip. Again, confident in what I was told by Mike at Sonora Transmission. I returned to California and took my truck in for routine maintenance after our long trip through the high desert, northern plains, the Rockies, gulf coast and the Midwest. Got my truck back in way better condition and now we're on our next adventure to Southern California and Las Vegas without a worry what so ever. Driving up the grapevine after having it serviced, I noticed a tremendous change in pulling power and torque that was not there prior to serving at Sonora Transmission. I had to call Mike and thank him for the service provided. Great Job Mike, Ed and Freddie.....thanks for all you did, replacing my radiator, charging and fixing my air conditioning and being there on the phone when a consultation is needed!!!!

Transmission went out in my work truck. Im a contractor so no truck=downtime= no money. Dropped the truck off on a monday, got it back tuesday. Owner even stayed late on Christmas eve to meet me to make sure I got my truck back. Awesome service, great people. read more

Sonora Transmission team does good work and helped me out in a time crunch. Good folks and I am very happy to have had my 04 Chevy Avalanche transmission worked on here. Highly recommend read more

Mike is very professional and has great experience and knowledge. You will be treated very well. Took the time to review my transmission problem with me and advise me on how to proceed. read more

Mike and team saved the day! Our fourth grade field trip barely had a hiccup after the fuel pump died in our truck because Mike and his team were able to replace it within just a few hours while we enjoyed the Gold Country at Columbia State Park. When our truck was ready, he came and picked us up to get back to our truck, and we're safely on our way home now! Thanks so much for the expertise and hospitality! read more

I had previously put a negative review on here when the business was under old ownership. The place is under new ownership now and they did a complete 180. They're obsessed with providing quality customer service and honest work now. Go see them!! read more

I came here expecting the worst for my Dodge Caravan. Instead of selling me a whole new (rebuilt) transmission, they saved me a ton of money with a correct diagnosis of my problems. Just a part of the transmission had a problem. They also found at alternator was going out, (My battery light had been randomly coming on). I got a super fair pricing and was able to afford to get my brakes repaired. They even stayed open for 15 minutes and the whole gang made sure I was good to go, as I had traveled from out of town to here based on an auto parts store's recommendation. They also found some worn rear bearings that got replaced. I had them do an oil change also. Still spent 1/4 what I expected! It's real hard to find an honest automotive repair shop. This one does transmissions and a lot of other stuff. The staff was friendly and they were just a happy bunch. Throughout the day past customers were coming in about this or that car issues. Not one soured customer. I came in expecting to leave my car for a week. They had me out that day and the car is running great. I will be back. I found my car repair place! read more

We rely on Mike and his team for all of our transmission, transfer cases, radiators, and significant engine diagnostics and repair. We have been bringing our cars and trucks to Sonora Transmission and Auto Repair for almost 30 years. We have taken our cars and trucks to other service stations, however, we often regret doing so. Whenever we need help keeping our cars and trucks serviced, we always go to Mike and Ed first! read more

I'm very pleased with Sonora Transmissions. I received an estimated quote to service my vehicle and I thought it was very fair compared to the other shops that I checked with. I made an appointment for 2 days after I received the quote. I dropped it off this morning and they said it would be about 1 1/2 hour to complete. I went for a walk and returned and they were wrapping it up.. They also notice that my water reservoir cap was cracked and they repaired that as well. So in a nut shell they are awesome and very friendly.. Will defiantly take other vehicles to them when I need transmission repairs done. read more

My transmission wasn't working right, so I took my truck in to be checked out. I was hoping it was something minor, but the transmission was shot. I took it to Sonora transmission after seeing a review on yelp. The price seemed high so I called another shop for an estimate. They were both pretty close so I went with the original. Work was done as described and on schedule to get me back on the road. read more
