I really was impressed, how the front staff greeted me and was patient in providing several options for my transmission repairs. The services were excellent and I was able to have more needed work with their credit card services. Thanks again for the value and reliability of the services for my vehicle.. 1998 Ford Ranger XLT read more

Do not, Do Not leave your vehicle there. Elvis had my respect, but does not keep his workers in line. They helped themselves to the tools in my trunk. THAT IS NOT RIGHT!! read more

Transmission discount center? More like transmission RIPOFF center! Don't even bother coming here, or if you do, inquire about the prices beforehand. Either way, you'll probably get SCAMMED. Do yourself a favor and take your vehicle somewhere else to get it checked. read more

DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE‼ IT'S A SCAM! I was charged $200 just for a car inspection, but all the person did was sit in my car while I drove!! Later I was charged $1550 to fix the clutch in my car. Please do not go to this dealsership. read more

Dad's favorite EXT burnt up the transmission. According to Jason and Jesus, the factory cooler was the issue. They installed a bigger and more efficient cooler and replaced the damaged parts. I sure am glad I didn't just swap another OEM part and had the experts look at it. I turned around and pulled a trailer full of family treasure safely to Colorado. Transmission stayed cool (140 or less) the whole way. The EXT pulled like a beast! Sabrina always was helpful over phone and post repair inspection was quick. I'm glad the Ghavimi's recommended and so would I! Thank you so much! read more

Transmission Discount Center - Bocephus and Sally - Auto Repair Near Me - Vallejo, California

This transmission shop has no techs that are helpful. The manager has No transmission skills . I had my 68 Chevrolet chevelle get a new 700R4 transmission scheduled . It took them a total of four months to complete. When I got it. The transmission had a seal leak , had exhaust manifold leak (I discovered 6 bolts were NOT retighten.) And the starter has a metal bang when starting. Manger would not under his 90 warranty repair the issues. I juss got a refund to get out of this horrible situation. read more

SCAMMERS!!! I came here a few months ago when my clutch gave out. I wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible so I came here forgetting to read the reviews of this place. When I was here the manager was super nice making me feel like this was the perfect place for my car to get its clutch replaced. Luckily my friend responded to me being here when I sent him my location. He said that he brought his G35 here and they "fixed" his clutch and ended up breaking other pieces of his clutch assembly, fly wheel, etc. and kept his car longer just to keep "fixing" things that were broken that didn't need to be fixed. Another one of my friends contacted me after and something similar happened. Then I told my parents where I was and they said they got scammed here when they were younger. At first I didn't believe them because I desperately wanted to get my clutch fixed. Then I apologized to the manager saying that I just needed a quote for how much it would cost to fix my car and that I was going to leave and maybe comeback. The quote was a cheap price like $700 to get my clutch fixed where as a dealership would cost almost $2,000. While I was there the technician rode in the car with me and all he diagnosed in my car was that my clutch was slipping. I already knew that. Then when about to leave the manager immediately changed his mood from super friendly to annoyed and upset. He said that I owed him around $200 for his technician diagnosing my car. I said all he did was ride in my car and watch my rpms slip and say "your clutch is slipping." The manager then proceeded to say "he took time out of his day to ride with you and diagnose your car." I said that took 3 minutes. He held my key for about 10 minutes while we were going back and forth about me paying. He then gave up and said fine, bye and shoved the key in my hand. Ridiculous. read more

They just make you waist time and money they never fixed my car issue.I don't recommend this place.

Horrible customer service!!! Now I see why they have bad reviews. The 2 girls who answer the phone are incredibly rude and don't seem to care one bit if they help you or not. Then give you an attitude because you need help lol Owner never calls back or seems to care what's going on. Take your business somewhere else!!! read more

Thanks for the reply. I'm not surprised discount transmission is no longer and runing under a new name. I was most definitely verbally quoted a price of $450 then it turned into $4300. With the transmission taken apart completely it left a choice to put it back together or move forward. Yes the legal owner of the vehicle decided to pay the $4300 with the assumption a newly rebuilt transmission would last another 160k miles as that was what was on the vehicle at time of repair. There's been nothing but leak and shifting issues and I was charged for a transmission mount that eas NOT put on the car. Changing a name of a business doesn't change the facts. I wish I would have read the other reviews before I went there. read more

Took my car in a while back to get the clutch replaced, told the manager on 3 separate occasions that I wanted to keep the old clutch both in person and on the phone. Even the mechanic (Juan) knew I wanted to keep the clutch. When I came to pick up the vehicle, the manager said that the clutch was already thrown away and picked up by a engine recycle company, and stated that we never told him that we wanted to keep the clutch. Afterwards, Juan brought out the old clutch saying it was still here and handed it to me. The manager just shrugged his shoulders and laughed awkwardly. What a joke. This whole business is a joke and I would never want anyone to bring their vehicle here. If I had the option to give them 0 stars I would if I could. By the way, the car still ran like sh*t so I definitely did not bring it back there. read more

Excellent customer service (Jason & his team in the office explained step by step & answered every one of my questions) Excellent quote (rebuilt not replaced, I saved a thankful amount of money) Excellent repair (they show you the actual parts that need replacing) If your transmission brakes, I highly recommend calling Transmission Discount Center for a quote read more

I called them in the morning to repair my Volvo it was shifting hard. I had to call them back in the afternoon for them to give me a quote, I took my vehicle the next day to get the required service it need. I took my vehicle there in the morning as instructed I had to call them back again. to see if my vehicle was ready for pick up, the initial quote was $90.00 dollars for them to pump the fluid into the transmission, They tell me about the problem with the transmission, so now I dont get the service and charge me $112.00 for something I already knew about. I knew the transmission wasn't in the best condition, the vehicle has 160k. But then to charge me more then what they initially quoted N not call me not professional at all. I pay for the assessment and I didn't get the service completed. Not professional They will credit me for the transmission service, the question is how do you know I want the service. Very frustrating, not professional. Take your business elsewhere they lack communication skills&professionalism. Overall F-... read more

Used to be the go-to place for all our vehicles. Until, a still under warranty catalytic converter they installed went bad. They offered to work with the manufacturer, great thought. But then, it took a month of my husband and I calling to find out when we can get the car fixed. We were willing to pay and skip the warranty. But when they keep promising to call back and never called back, it felt like a run around. They made me feel like a bad customer trying to dupe them. Too bad. Really liked them and service was good. But don't give your customers the run around for a month or so. read more

Sadly, I had a very disappointing experience at this establishment. I brought my vehicle in due to issues my car was having with shifting gears (it's an automatic). I did appreciate that they said they'd evaluate it for free, however when they were finished with their transmission evaluation, they said there was nothing wrong with it. They said they would lubricate my linkages (for a reasonable price) but my transmission was fine. The service did increase my vehicles shifting performance and I was momentarily reassured. Two days later the shifting issues came back along with my reverse gear going completely out. I took it to another transmission place and it turns out there were several different issues. I have to wonder if they even looked at my transmission? There was definitely something wrong with it! read more

Update from previous review: Approximately a month back, we had to bring my daughters car back in again for a now more serious issue. The Transmission would not shift while on the highway. Based on many previous bad experiences and the lack of service we had received in the past, I had prepared myself for a nasty confrontation and to be treated like crap. i was pleasantly surprised first in speaking with Maria on the phone and then when meeting with Jason, who I had worked with in the early stages of the repairs, was there to greet us. The extremely rude, unprofessional and unwilling to help individual i have been battling with for months was no longer a part of the organization. When we met with Jason, he took the time to listen to my daughter and actually take an interest in what she was saying, what a difference. Jason took the car and after a couple of days he called back to explain they needed to pull the transmission for repairs. Jason explained that my daughter had gone a few miles over the warranty, but that he was going to make it right and put her back on the road. A few weeks later, my daughter is back in her car and the transmission is shifting like a new transmission. It feels better than it ever has. It is a shame that it took so long and we had such a bad experience, but thanks to Jason, my faith and confidence in Discount Transmission has been restored and my daughter is a satisfied customer. Jason is a true professional with a "Take Care of the Customer" attitude. read more

Came to this location for a simple light change. I was referred by someone who has the same make, model and year car as me. The cost was $20 the man inside this location told me $120 for a light change. When I compared invoices he would not change the price. He then told me the price could be $60, then switched his story saying he didn't have anyone who could "change the light. This guy is a scam artist! Do not come to this guy. I plan to call the Better Business Bureau. read more

Transmission Discount Center - Aamco Vallejo SCAM ARTIST!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Vallejo, California

See all

This place is the worst do not take your business here. They kept my car for over 2 weeks and made me pay for work that was not required. I had to buy my own rebuilt transmission because I paid them up front for labor. I have made a formal complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. While I was there the owner Jason threatened to have me arrested if I spoke to other customers about his shady business. I brought in my 2008 Buick Enclave for service and they wanted to charge me over $3, 000 for a work that would only be about$27 for parts. I clearly made a mistake taking my vehicle to this thief and I regret it. Don't do the same! read more

I recently brought my car to these guys and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of service I received. Not only did they do excellent work but they communicated with me every step of the way! I went in for a transmission on my 2005 Ford Escape however they also changed my oil and gave my car a tuneup which saved me from having to schedule another visit for repairs with another shop! I have recommended Transmission Discount Center to my friends and family not only for transmission work but for all their automotive repairs! read more

Great mechanic! Very friendly and personable staff. We felt like they didn't rip us off and did a good honest job on our car. Our vehicle was serviced in a reasonable amount of time and they went above and beyond picking my husband up from the ferry port to retrieve the car when it was finished. Wonderful people and trustworthy read more

Best experience I've ever had at an auto repair shop. Office staff and mechanics are all very professional, helpful and friendly. I took my bmw 335i to 4 other shops in fairfield and vallejo before coming here, and they all said either get a new transmission or it needs a complete rebuild. They all quoted me between $3,000 and $4,500. Transmission discount center diagnosed my vehicle and found that it was NOT even the transmission that needed to be replaced IT WAS THE VALVE BODY. They fixed it in 2 days and it cost me less than $900! I recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest and and amazing mechanics. read more

Never go here. $4200 for a transmission rebuild, took 2 weeks longer than quoted, and still was done incorrect. The manager is a dishonest thief. read more

And not even two days later our suburban has not been driven except home from the shop and there is 2.5 quarts of transmission fluid in the driveway!! read more

This place is trash, they over charge their customers. Do some research before going to them, they're not a quality shop yet charge as if they are. read more

If you read their specialty section on the bottom, you see that they "get it right the first time" hahahahaha! what a joke. I took my car there because my Check Engine Light was on. They told me it was cuz the distributor. paid around $400 for it. then the light came on again. took it back. they put in another distributor, and it comes on again. went back the third time and finally, after 3 trips my car was good. I definitely did not like how inconvenient it was for me to keep going back there. As for the Owners/Employees, Jason is the guy that answers the phone. He seemed like a good guy that knows how to communicate with his customers til I overheard him having a conversation with Juan (who was very helpful to me), referring to me as an asshole. Search them on Better Business Bureau, and you'll see that they have complaints about billing and repairs. Jason you fucked up. Never taking my car back there again. 1 star. read more

Some may hate this place, but I for one love the services I received from TDC. Service is great from the technicians to the front end. I would recommend this place....but others may disagree if they didn't get the proper treatment or services they wanted. read more

This place is the worst place to take your car to they're not professional they did my transmission said one price over charge the next day after repair my car broken down 3 times since then I would never take my car to be fixed there I had to take my car next door to Aamco to find out what was wrong to have them fix the transmission because it's a year guarantee. They claimed it was only one thing need to be fixed Aamco let me know it was three things they needed to be fixed so far I had to take it back three times so far they said it was no leakage gas was pouring out underneath that could have blew me up no discount Transmissions needs a overhaul don't let them work on your car you'll be sorry read more

We took our truck here to replace the transmission. Jason and staff were very helpful and mindful to our situation. The customer service was above and beyond our expectation. We greatly appreciate the service we received. We will definitely recommend this place to our families and friends. read more

I took my car here because the transmission was shifting rough, and it had high mileage, so I wasn't surprised when they called and said they needed to rebuild it. I had to rent a car, and it took 10 days. When I got the car back, surprise, it still did the same thing! After calling, and leaving the car with them 2 additional times, all they did was try to tweak the ECM (computer) with no improvement. Sadly, I now have no confidence in this company, and don't want to rent a car for the 4th time for the same result. They might provide good service in other areas, but if you need them to finish something that you already paid for (about $3,000) they are untrustworthy. read more

I was solicited by the sons owner Alex G. he left a fake review here on yelp for his fathers business transmission discount center on yelp 06/06/14. please read for your self. alex is a crook and his father refuses to deal this issue. my 1994 infinity was to have a new door & properly painted , and some other mechanical things fix and properly tuned up.

I had to go to vallejo and pick up the car from alex at transmission discount center. save your self trouble and go elsewhere. read more

Overcharged for a transmission rebuild and got the job done ELSEWHERE for much less and it still functions to this day! If you want your transmission to burn up a week after it is built or a day after the 30 day warranty, by all means go here! Smart people look elsewhere, Jason and Juan look like the formerly imprisoned crew they hire and their service and work quality show it. read more

Well, they fixed my car, so for that they get the stars. The place is run like a car dealership kind of. Its not any cheaper than the going rate and they put the screws to you for commitment to have it repaired there. I was going to have it done there anyway, but the guy just wouldn't let me bring it in when i wanted. Instead he insisted that i bring it in sooner with the promise that they could repair it in one day. Of course, i should have known they wouldn't have it done on time and he was probably working on commission. Anyway, sure enough they didn't have it done nor did they call me to tell me so. So i call and they tell me they had trouble repairing it...,it was just a new clutch. Anyhoo, after changing my work schedule so i could get my car back the guy didn't seem to mind making me wait even longer-stopping to train a new guy and fill out paperwork very slowly. They also screwed up my transaction and overdrew my bank account by double charging my credit card. I wont be back read more

The staff is very helpful and friendly (Lisa, Jason). Diagnostic is priced reasonably ($59.99). I would recommend them for engine/transmission repairs, as they are fairly priced and can get the job done in a timely manner. read more

I was a little hesitated going by reading the previous reviews. But like movies, everyone a critic and I also was refereed by a friend that is a mechanic at a dealership. Overall Customer Service, the auto crew, Communication, and time frame was A+ Quality.Would recommend this business to everyone.Jason was also very helpful and humbling to speak with as well.My car is running better than ever. read more

I am not a fan of this place, as a single woman with no knowledge of cars I took my car in, I at least knew my transmission was slipping. I came in really to have them diagnose the problem and get a quote, I was taken on a quick test drive and was pretty much told that I needed to get it fixed ASAP and felt almost pressured into leaving my car there. I was told a cheaper price in the beginning and told it would take a few weeks to repair by the time it was "repaired" I spent about $4000. This was last year I felt like I was still filling the transmission slip. Last month I was leaving a job about half hour away from home, and the car did something and made a sound I never felt or heard before and all of a sudden my check engine light came on again. I ignored it for a few weeks and finallyr I had my current job an auto shop run the codes to diagnose the problem they told me they were the same exact codes from before. I feel as if, I paid thousands of dollars to this company it should have lasted longer then a little over a year and a half. Very disappointed I depend on my one and only car and really can't afford to keep dumping money in it and was hoping that it would have lasted longer, it's still running just same problem. read more

I'm sure glad I found this place! Just happened I received a coupon at the Farmer's Market... and even though I let it expire - Juan helped me out! I have the kind of transmission where you can't get it checked unless you go to a mechanic. The dealership and other mechanics were overcharging all along. Juan was straight forward and kind. He serviced my car, fixed a small leak and honored the coupon. What a deal! ...now I know where to go locally for transmission stuff. read more

Very impressed with the great customer service from the front office. The mechanic rebuilding my transmission, Oscar, even took the time to show me the damaged transmission parts and explained how things work. I would highly recommend these guys! read more

Mediocre service, repairs and overall customer relations! They are improving however.

I went to Transmission Discount Center to have my Honda Accord serviced and I was extremely satisfied with both the repair and the excellent customer service all for a reasonable price. I had researched several other places in the area and found this automotive repair to be rated one of the best. It was truly the best from start to finish. I was greeted by the Manager and office staff in a courteous, professional manner. The estimate for my repair was quick, accurate and straight forward. My repair was done in a timely manner and handled with care. The technician who handled my repair explained what he had done. He went the extra mile by checking the air in my tires and made sure all the gages in my car were set properly and in good working order. My experience with Transmission Discount Center is one that I will never forget. The excellent customer service and fine quality of repair work exceeded all my expectations. Many thanks to the staff at Transmission Discount Center. Keep up the good work. I would recommend Transmission Discount Center in Vallejo to each and everyone who needs their car serviced, whether it be a broken transmission or just a plain old tune up or oil change. A great experience at an affordable price! read more
