2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with approximately 160k miles. The gauges would increase to 3 to 4 RPMs without exceeding 40 mph. I was recommended to a transmission shop, and we replaced the engine, which had around 50k miles. I'm glad I was able to give my Jeep a second chance at life. There's no reason to pay more than $6,000 for an engine replacement or buy a new vehicle and spend upwards of $50k when you can potentially revive the car you love. read more

Disclaimer - I want to make it clear I have not use their services yet - Sue was super helpful over the phone and told me the different options between buying a new transmission, or having my transmission rebuilt. A helpful phone call, even when we're all busy, is often a great first step to bringing in trusted business. read more

I got my Transmission fixed here. They were a little cheaper then other Transmission garages. However the transmission on my company car was slipping from first to second and just wasn't right. They offer a 6 month guarantee so they will fix it. read more

Fast and great service. Upgraded my transmission on my Silverado and this thing is awesome now. Thanks

I don't recommend this hole in the wall shop... Unprofessional, dirty office with cats everywhere. Mechanic didn't know wether my car was Manuel or automatic... Left my engine seal cover unbolted & came loose while I was on the highway. Total waist of time. My advice is to go to a professional, spend a little more & have it done right. Good luck. read more

Sue is very informative and she always honest and trustworthy. I received top quality repairs and the best price all around. Victor is an excellent mechanic. I've been a customer for a couple of years now. read more

Honest and polite. Straight to the point reasonably priced. I was in and out in one day. They checked out my engine. And they didn't even charge me for the diagnosis read more

We finally found a good mechanic for my mother's ford focus. From the conversation on the phone with Sue up until the visit to the shop, has been nothing but pleasant. I got my mom's car towed there first thing this morning which was at 8:00am they were 5 minutes late but no problem. We already had a transmission. So the gentleman installed and added the Transmission oils and lubricate and had it ready at the end of the day. Wow! We were shocked, we just knew it was going to be sometime next week. Great people, service and very affordable. And I do agree with what the previous reviews say. read more

Looked in Yelp for a place for a transmission oil change. Have little confidence in Jiffy lube and some of the chain oil service centers as most of the workers have little experience. Found Transmission house and was glad I did. Victor and Sue were extremely courteous. They performed an inspection on the car and identified other problem areas. Their prices are excellent and service very professional. Takes a bit to earn my trust in cars but Sue and Victor definitely earned it. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have used The Transmission House for about 6 or 7 years. They are truly my neighborhood mechanic. I have had countless repairs done on my 2002 Toyota 4-Runner and my 2009 Scion. John, the mechanic, and his wife Sue, office manager, are amazing. John is a great mechanic, and Sue is a very knowledgeable office manager. To have such a good and trustworthy mechanic available is beyond my usual expectations. I have been fleeced in the past by greedy dealerships and big name repair shops. To find such an honest and trustworthy auto mechanic shop is almost indescribable. I have written several restaurant reviews that are less than favorable. I call it like I see it. I seldom give 5 stars. The Transmission House is well deserving of every one of the 5 stars. Go there, use them. You will be delighted. read more

I recently had the automatic transmission rebuilt on my 2002 Honda Accord. After starting the work on the transmission, there were other things that needed replacement such as the valve cover gaskets and engine/transmission mounts, which I authorized. I have done work on my own cars for almost 40 years, and rarely take my car in for service, but the transmission rebuild was beyond my capability. The car was ready as promised and the transmission rebuild and other work done was exceptional at a fair price. The car has never run better. I could tell that the mechanics paid close attention to detail and even added in a few extra things without charge. I highly recommend Sue and the mechanics at The Transmission House. read more

Good and honest mechanic. They replaced my front left axel in no time. Dropped it off at 8am on a Saturday and the repair was done by 10am. They were also going to diagnose(free if I fixed the issue there if not $75 fee) a problem for me because my car was over heating at high MPH. They found the problem and ordered the part(for following day arrival). They were prompt in fixing my car, knowledgeable in finding my problem, and overall honest. After trying many repairs shops they are the most consistent and very good general mechanics for all kinds of needs. Highly recommend. read more

Horrible place do not take your car here.. I took my Nissan van their to get checked out and sue the lady told me it was my valve body not my transmission so I paid her to replace my valve body got my car n not even 2 weeks my car was doing the same problem. I took it back and she then said oh it's the transmission. I said how much more is that she said I charge 3000 but I'll charge you 1500 so when I got the money together I paid her the 1500 and she worked on my car. It took over a month to get my car back. I've driven it for 5 months and guess what my check engine light went back on. Its the same thing she 1st said oh it's the valve body since I have warranty she replaced it I got my car back not even a week n same thing basically she supposedly replaced it twice. I got my car back again with the same problem and now she saying it's my transmission she don't know what it is.. I've almost gotten into 4 accidents because my car was not fixed all the times I got it back and so I told her I want my money back because within a month I brought my car back 4 times and still the same problems well she don't want to give me my money back so I now have to take further action. I'm stuck with my car running like shit and on top of that she don't want to take responsibility for it. read more

I bought my car in on Monday and it took them 2 days to change my transmission. Employees were all friendly and actually kept me updated. Price was pretty good. It's been a couple days and my car is running well, hopefully nothing changes!:) read more

I would not recommend this place took my car in for transmission service and they said they would test it first they did not call me and tell me my transmission needed to be repaired before they did the $250 service.. I could've use that money towards repairing the transmission. I feel like I've been robbed. Karma read more

This place is awesome! This will be my spot from now on. They really are honest and reasonable prices. Sue is the sweetest woman ever and the mechanics are awesome. I thought I had transmission problems and I was really scared. They explained the problem and gave me a fair price. Thank You Sue and team read more

I thought there was something wrong with my transmission/acceleration, victor checked on the computer and there weren't any codes. We still went on a test drive, he drove it around and went up to the speeds that I told him it felt off. He asked for more details as to what made me think was wrong. He explained it to me what it might have caused it since when he drove it felt fine. His explanation made sense. I asked him about changing the transmission fluid to which he said he think I had to change it once it hit 30000 or 35000 but wasn't sure. He took pictures of my cars info and took my number so they can call me back with the correct info. A few hours later, sue called letting me know she had contacted the dealership and told me that my transmission had a warranty of up 60000 miles and that for my car I don't need to change my transmission fluid. They're great and honest shop. They made me feel comfortable and answered all my question. Highly recommend. read more

I got a very competitive estimate from this business for my transmission rebuild. The turnaround time was 2 days just as promised. When the work was finished, the actual price was slightly under what was estimated. They do not accept checks and you WILL pay more if you use a credit card. My trans was done 4 months ago by them. It now shifts perfectly and there are no leaks. I did have a slight problem with the shifter alignment that they repaired today promptly without leaving the truck. Although the mechanic doesn't speak English well, the owner and office manager (Sue) couldn't be nicer and more accommodating. She's also very knowledgeable about the transmissions. I was a mechanic for several years and I found it refreshing that they didn't try to b.s. me. Yes, there are still some honest shops out there. read more

Despite its name being transmission house, they do almost every engine and transmission repair you could name, from rebuilding a transmission down to changing the oil I went here on a recommendation for a tune-up and an oil change for my Toyota. They were great, honest, up-front, and the work was done perfectly and fast. I will recommend them to other friends. read more

The best place to get your car fixed I have been coming here for several years not just for transmission work but for basic oil changes and car repairs. The service is top notch and they always show their work. I have had all kinds of things fixed over the years and I have never been treated as if I didnt know what they were talking about. Sue is the best super sweet and honest. John is one of the best old school mechanics Ive ever met and there has never been a problem he hasnt been able to solve or fix. And if you need something else on your car done they can't do they easily give referrals out to the best in the area. Old school service with very reasonable prices. read more

Stick to transmission work only. That's their bread and butter and provide services at reasonable price. Just wish I had not let them replace my brake pads. The braking system squeaks when the pedal is engaged and again when disengaged. I thought it was just because of the fresh pads. 6 months later the squeaks are still there. read more

If you've had bad experience at an auto related repair shop because you are a female, this place will make you think otherwise! Sue is the owner of this place and gives you honest recommendation at a competitive price. They do great work and deliver on time! Because of my referral, even my friends from OC and SD have used Sue's service! It's already a problem owning an old car, but Sue solved the transmission issue! Thanks Sue! read more

Sue was awesome, gave me an update and several recommendations. The mechanic took his time to show me the parts repaired, rebuilt trans for a compatible price. read more

This place is one of the most honest autoshops you can find. I've been getting oil changes regularly for the past 4 years. They are very kind people. My experiences are always pleasant. read more

Sue and her mechanic very knowable. read more

I was blessed to have them rebuild my transmission. It now works smooth and like new. Sue, the owner who i dealt with from the beginning, is very knowledgeable and walked me through the process. I left my car there while i was out of town, and she even picked me up at my home on a Sunday so i could have the car for work the next day. I highly recommend them. I also like their mechanic. Spent some time talking with him also. He is very knowledgeable also. It nice to know that i now have a local mechanic for my car :-) read more

I looked at a couple different places to get my transmission looked at and found this shop in Downey. They gave me a much better quote than the dealer and the other shop I visited and I got my car returned to me sooner than was estimated. The owner, Sue, was very sweet as well as knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and even let me rent a car for free while I left my car. My car is in good shape now and she told me that if I have any future problems, they would take care of it. Excellent prices and customer service. read more
