I was referred to The Transclinic by my regular mechanic because the transmission was going out on my 2013 Scion xB (stick) and my regular guy can swap them out but doesn't rebuild them and he advised me the Transclinic would (in his professional opinion) do better work and probably for cheaper too. I showed up on a Friday afternoon and Greg (the owner) explained the process. They'd do a basic diagnostic for free, and if that confirmed the transmission was in trouble, they would call me to get approval to start the detailed diagnostic ($585), where they take the transmission out of the vehicle and take it all apart and review EVERYTHING. He called me later on Saturday to confirm it was the transmission. I approved the bigger diagnostic and he got back to me early next week to explain what was needed. Total cost out the door would be ~$2,200 (includes the $585 diagnostic) and include transmission rebuild and new clutch, as well as some minor related things. Estimated completion by end of the week and he called me saying it was ready Thursday afternoon. Clutch is smooth as butter now and a day later it started to make a couple of noises so I brought it in early Monday on my way to work and they put it on the lift while I waited and tightened a dust shield (no cost) and now it's perfect. Very happy with the work and happy with the service and pricing explanations etc. Greg also did some research on my vehicle since I was complaining about the transmission needing work after only 156K miles and he got back to me saying he spoke to others in the industry and it's a known-issue with my model. Many of them had problems and usually needed work at 80K miles. Anyway I hope to not need to return here for a long time, but if I have any future transmission issues, The Transclinic will be my first stop. read more

The owner Greg is a good dude and when the tranny on my 2007 avalanche took a crap (couldn't drive at all) he was able to do a professional rebuild at a price that was better than the other two local shops I checked out. I've gone to him with a couple of other issues on other cars and he's always very fair It's been about a year and a half since my rebuild and everything is smooth as silk. You can see that he runs a clean shop and the guys are all very nice. read more

2016 Silverado 1500 LT factory transmission failed completely at 105,000 miles. Greg and his crew rebuilt the transmission and the truck performs much better. Increase in mileage, crisp shifting, extremely quiet. Fixed all the weaknesses in the factory unit. Greg is always there for you and stands behind his work 100%. If I could give 10 stars I would. A+++++ read more

Dec/2021 my transmission went out. I thoroughly called around looking for the best price to warranty ratio. After looking at all the numbers Greg at The TransClinic was my choice. From our initial conversion I could tell he was honest and not going to up charge me. His lead time was accurate and did exactly as he said! Oct/2023 I had a hunch something was going on with my transmission so I call Greg since I still have a warranty. I feel some shops would beat around the bush and not want to cover it. NOT The TransClinic. Greg told me to bring it by immediately and to give him a few days to check it out. To our surprise an uncommon part had broke. He went through the rest of the transmission to make sure no fragments weren't floating around potentially damaging some else later covered by his 3 year unlimited mile warranty. I will NOT use another shop unless stranded somewhere as a last resort. Thank you Greg! read more

Absolutely fantastic honest people with top notch knowledge and quality work. I definitely recommend The TransClinic to anyone.

Greg is awesome super honest. Im a mobile mechanic myself, Ive had them rebuild 2 of my transmissions in the past.. no issues, fair pricing.. they arent cheap because they do good work and they arent crazy expensive because theyre honest. Right about in the middle which is perfect. Im going there today for my 3rd trans job with them.. for years I have referred my customers to them as I dont do trans work myself. Very speedy service when you figure in how busy they always are! read more

I run a wholesale automotive business in the Oxnard area. I have tried just about every transmission shop in the area. I must say that Greg and his team at Transclinic are by far the BEST in town! Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive. A fair price, the communication is suburb, the work is on time, and I have never had to take anything back for warranty repairs! If you want it done Right at a FAIR price, this is your place!! read more

The man to see there is bill. Bill is the most knowledgeable old school motor head that I know. Transmissions he can do blindfolded. He is very fair with his personal pricing. Shop is a little pricy for me but quality is so worth it. Remember Bill, and Greg well he'll take ur money/ office guy. Always polite and friendly. read more

Great service and friendly environment. I was 100% satisfied with work done in my car. Thank you Greg, read more

Been going to Trans clinic for some time now, not because I had to take my car back for repairs. I have been going back, because Greg and his crew are the best to my knowledge and research . They have done three car transmission 2004 Volvo , 2001 Yukon and 1965 Impala and worked on transmission and differential leaks on a 1995 Dodge 4X4 . I say this proves they work on all vehicles and they have my trust. And also the best price for Quality work and don't think the low price means , bad work. If you need prove .give me a message . I show you the cars still going! Thank you Greg and God bless you and your top notch team. read more

I was sent here by a friend who is a mechanic... they took a lil longer than I liked but Greg was thorough with his explanation and consulted with Toyota Tech line to get a proper diagnosis. Also liked the fact he explained their guarantee on their work, if it is not resolved you automatically get credited toward future repair if needed. I can see why they have been in business for over 25 yrs.. read more

This is my first review, and unfortunately was very disappointed in my experience with this transmission shop. Please consider other affordable mechanics and be mindfully cautious when choosing a shop to meet your circumstantial needs. Warning $3000 dollars later... I drive a 2009 Toyota Corolla, bought it brand new and have been the only driver. Check engine light went on for a torque converter repair and cyclinders. Locating this shop was easy through google however highly questionable communication style of the owner,Greg whom I called, who didn't seem to be doing any of the repairs him self considering his unknown expertise, instead contracting various mechanics to this peculiar shop(witnessed after visiting multiple times in a two week period). I called for a reasonable quote and inquiry to the repairs needed for my car. Greg immediately stated on the phone, "probably needs a whole new transmission rebuilt!"? This was a major red flag moment because I gave him specific computer codes of repair. Thereafter feeling overwhelmed, vulnerable about having to invest my time, money and trust for a working vehicle, he convinced me that his shop is referred by many Ojai mechanics where I live, I considered his word. Moving forward, Greg's integrity faulted after receiving my car back two weeks later worst off than taking it in prior. Instantly I recognized a VERY LOUD rattling that wasn't there before taking it to his shop. With major concern, lost of distrust and faith in this mans shop, Greg then told me that he was not responsible for the sound and told me to go to another mechanic in town to figure out the loud noise. This was very upsetting and dishonorable to his integrity of work being provided with a strong sense of detachment, greed and untrustworthy mechanics. He clearly demonstrated NO accountability, NO RESPONSIBILITY after paying him an unreasonable expensive invoice. Following up with the better business bureau and a police report. read more

After rebuilding my transmission the same old used transmission oil was poured back in, I know because I checked it the same day I got it back. ...come on guys, if your going to cut corners do it with things that the customer can't check on himself. read more

I brought my 07 GMC 1500 to these guys.....they did the work so fast...I couldn't come up with the money fast enough to pay the bill. Greg was stern but understanding. HE WORKED WITH ME. The parts that were used were all better than factory and my truck drives great now. All guys were friendly. SHOP WAS SPOTLESS... I would tell anyone to go here. read more

See all

Great service! Highly recommend, first on my list for recommendations. Had an issue before the holiday and was expecting it to be done maybe after the new year, was called on Friday after Christmas that my car was ready for pick up. Very knowledgeable. read more

I had a rebuild done on my ford ranger and 44000 mi after my 5th gear went out. I took it back to them and they told me it was going to be 2000-2300 to rebuild it again. As well as this being shity workmanship they couldn't find my old invoices from the other 2 times that my truck was there after it was rebuilt. I am having the tranny gone threw by a third party out of state I will post the findings when I have them. read more

Greg is honest and fair. I've taken a few cars to him since I'm helping my nephews out. He helped us fix my nephew's Mercedes transmission leak without needing a rebuild, even though it was an unusual part that, even the dealership didn't have. He fixed it for dirt cheap! It still doesn't leak 4 months later. I had to have my other nephew's Toyota automatic transmission rebuilt. They had fair pricing when compared to competitors. They did a superb job on it. He has done some free diagnostics for me in the past, when I first met him. My brother told me about him being fair. I used to work as a mechanic. I don't say this lightly... This is an honest shop that will never try to oversell. read more

I brought my jeep to Craig at trans clinic, he gave me and estimate, ETA, everything was spot on when I picked it up. Got to keep mom n pop shops alive. KEEP VTA EMPLOYED, thanks again...... read more

My SUV broke down right next to transclinic. Greg the manager came out, and offered to keep my SUV inside over night until they could check it out the next day. After they discovered it was not a transmission issue, he was still happy to let me keep my SUV there until I found a place that would repair it. Over the course of a week, they were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend them anyone. read more

I recommend this place extremely, I currently have 1999 Mustang GT which needed work on the manual transmission. Well I talked to Greg who was more then helpful for everything and very forward about his approach, which I liked. Called me on a timely manner and had finished the overhaul in about 2 days which was nice to have done so fast. I recommend them strongly because they offer experience which is hard to find at places. Many of this "Automotive" repair places are looking for a quick buck and they let you go off running. Not here though, not here at all! read more

I brought my 03' Range Rover to Greg to have the transmission rebuild because it was less then half the price of the dealership. He rebuilt it for the price that was quoted and had it done exactly when he said it would be. From the moment that a spoke to him he took very very good care of me and my vehicle. He was even kind enough to come to my home 2 months after he did the transmission to help me with a dead battery....for free! I can't say enough good things about Greg and his team and Mary his receptionist. When you call Mary always answers the phone with a smile in her voice! I appreciate this!! The Transclinic is AWESOME! read more

Greg told me he could fix my car for $1700. He said his research showed the part he put in my car would fix my car. I had told him I might sell it in the future. After repairing it he said this car should last a long time and all I have to do in the future was fix the front wheel bearings. A couple weeks later my light came on again. I called him and he called me a liar about 4xs on the phone. I went down in person and he denied ever saying he could fix my car and said to fix it would cost $8100. He basically said he just reset the code for $1700 so i could sell it. He lied about everything he told my wife and I. He was very confrontational and a lying sack if shit. Don't trust this snake. Watch your receipt. Get everything In writing. This is the place and the guy that gives car mechanics a bad name. Worst person I have ever dealt with in auto repair. Ripped me off for $1700. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!! read more

If you are interested in poor customer service then this is the business for you. The owner is rude and condescending. If you want great customer service and someone who actually cares about their business go to DMC transmissions. read more

I took my older Audi there for a transmission service after my hose broke and fixed it myself. They did the job quickly, everyone was very nice. Great customer service. It is an old car and I know it has lots of problems. They told me about about the problems but did not pressure me into fixing them like some mechanics. I have several older cars and they are my new go to shop for transmissions. read more
