The receptionist ROBYN is a total bitch. Has an attitude everytime I called on the phone and will charge you without letting you know ahead of time. Go somewhere else. read more

If you're looking for a Transmission shop, look no further! If I could give them 10/5 stars I would. My RAV4 was having issues shifting between gears and to say my transmission was in bad shape was an understatement. Robyn was extremely helpful in describing the work they were doing, was very fair with the cost and was a joy to speak with. Curtis the head mechanic probably had to spend more time and energy trying to determine the issue with my car than he has in a long time but never gave up and eventually returned it good as new. I could not recommend Transmission Specialists enough. Amazing work and amazing people read more

My husband purchased a used transmission over the internet for his old car and it arrived from the seller not working. To avoid the expense of sending it back he took it to the Transmission Specialists to see if they could determine what was wrong. They took the time to look it over and suggest possible places that could cause the failure. They did not charge for their time. He brought it back home, checked their suggestions and found what is probably the issue. He appreciates their expertise and willingness to help him out. read more

Quick and honest repair shop, 2011 f150 was giving me shifting problems and after diagnostic the problem was faulty speed sensors and wheel bearings, repaired in a few days for honest price! Highly recommended and very professional. 10/10 read more

This was a hard-fought battle for them, but they earned it. My transmission was a difficult case. They threw everything in the book at it and got it close to perfect. I build machines and have a vague awareness of the complexities they were facing. This was well communicated by their diligent spokesperson Robin. She calls back. She's straight up. She is a good spearhead for the company. Overall, I'd say they care about getting it right. Update: "close to perfect" wasn't good enough. They have since taken my vehicle in one more time to apply a solution to a little known obscurity in my specific transmission type, and nailed it! This place has grit. read more

Very honest service! My Honda pilot had a transmission issue and they could give me a good evaluation of the problem. I decided not to repair and sell the vehicle for half the price so that the new owner could do it in the future. read more

2000 Dodge Dakota 4x4. I had a leak coming from my rear differential. It turns out that my clutch was breaking apart. It has been two weeks after the repair and the truck has performed flawlessly. Great job!!! read more

Let's be real. It's always worrisome to have to find a new mechanic ESPECIALLY if you're a female. It just is. Period. I found the staff at Transmission Specialists to be amazing, knowledgeable and fair. They didn't talk down to me. In fact quite the opposite. They treated me with respect and explained the situation regarding the difficulties I was having, shifting my 1996 Toyota 4Runner. They fixed her up quickly and charged me an EXTREMELY REASONABLE FEE!!!! Not only will I go back here, I'll be sending all my family and friends to Stephen (he's the one who diagnosed and fixed the problem in about an hour!) and the entire team at Transmission Specialists!! Thank you to all of you!!!! read more

If u go here get ready to bend over. Transmission was 3,500 and had a clunk in an out of gear the day i received it. Slid in an out of gear when i was in drive but not moving, it would down shift like 3 gears whenever i would break going down hill and jar me forward, all before burning up in less than a year just to hear the shop owner say its not his problem i went over on the miles. Do not go here they are thieves who will install some junk in your car that leaves you on the side of the road, and charge you thousands for it. read more

Fantastic work and great people!!!! I had them take care of my 1995 Chevy 1500. The truck would not shift properly and would grind third gear. It also had a problem with stiff clutch and transfer case popping out of gear. I took the truck in and explained the problem, Just one day latter they asked me to come in and look at what they found. They showed me the parts and the problems with each and then repaired everything in a very timely manner. When I picked up my truck it was like driving a brand new Vehicle!!! I then took my 1986 C-J7 jeep into them that had Major problems from all of the off road abuse that it gets. I had just put a clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and bearings into it and just was not right, I knew something was still wrong, I took to Transmission specialists and in just a couple day's (They were very busy, but still fit me in( they had the problem solved with repair of the needed tranny parts and the drive lines fixed like brand knew!!!!! I will and do very highly recommend Transmission Specialist to everyone!! read more

No stars would be the best review. Took my girlfriends Acura here for a transmission issue, the car won't shift into fourth gear. They told me no problem, they will look at it and call back in an hour....eight hours later right before they close they call and tell us to pick the car up because they can't fix it, and now it won't start! They told her to be careful because if she turns it off it won't turn back on. Not a very specialist transmission shop if you ask me. They didn't charge us for wrecking her car by the way. Do not go here! read more

aso apparently the shop owner says none of their transmissions last over 36,000 miles so come to this shop if u enjoy spending 3,400 on a transmission that wont even last a year or 40,000 miles. complete com artists that will use any excuse not to do the right thing and fix the crappy job they did as robyn stated if they can make up an excuse or someone else to point a finger at rhats what they will do read more

Transmission Specialists are AMAZING! After my 2005 Jeep Wrangler's check engine light came on, I wasn't sure where to go. A friend told me that he wouldn't take his car anywhere BUT Transmission Specialist! It was pretty far out of my way but it was all worth it in the end. The clutch pack was shot. They worked hard, & were very thorough. They gave me options & quotes, and explained in detail the warranty (which is very good when buying a new tranny), always called back right away and even checked in occasionally to let me know the status of my car. Another time, I was driving to SF and my jeep broke down in the middle of nowhere on the side of the freeway, shortly after getting gas. Again, Transmission Specialists to the rescue! I was very upset but Robyn from Transmission Specialists was the sweetest woman ever. She even called the tow truck for me, and called back to make sure I was safe. Turned out to be the fuel pump! They ordered it and replaced it quickly. Robyn was so amazing, I baked her a blueberry pie! And don't forget to say hi to Haley the big, goofy shop dog! read more

They recently rebuilt my Toyota transmission. It was done in two days and at a fair price. They were pleasant to deal with and the car runs great. I'll be back. read more

2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins 4x4 Truck broke down on 505 back in May of 2017. I live 3 hours north of Woodland and my transfer case cracked in half while hauling a dump trailer. I called Transmission Specialist and Robin said she could see my truck same day and that she was aware of this problem happening on my generation pick up. Robin was extremely informative and a pleasure to deal with. The shop offered an outstanding warranty on all parts and labor, the transfer case had all the heavy duty upgrades, and due to my trucks lift, they installed a custom high grade aluminum rear drive shaft. I noticed they used all quality parts and Spicer u-joints. Yes it did cost $ but you get what you pay for and it was fair compared to other estimates. They also offered a Military Discount. Most of all, a shops work is only as good as its warranty and Transmission Specialist stands by theirs. 7 months later my truck had an abnormal sound when I engaged it in 4H or 4L. I called Robin and she had me in the same day even though I live so far away. The problem was coming from the transfer case so the entire unit was replaced, hassle free, $ free, keys back in hand within a week. I would definitely recommend the Transmission Specailist experience. read more

I own a used truck ('97 Ford F-150), a year after purchase the original transmission died. Went to several auto shops for estimates in the Woodland/Davis/Sacramento area. Found this shop on the internet with good reviews. I checked them out and had the truck towed to this shop. The mechanics provided a thorough explanation of what went wrong. The cost estimate wasn't the lowest but no where near the highest. Nearly two years later the transmission is still running great. read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS SHOP! I have had the misfortune of taking three vehicles to this repair shop and must to say don't make the same mistake I made. I have had 2 transmissions rebuilt and a rear axle done here. The first vehicle that I took to this shop I had the transmission rebuilt and it is still in good running condition. I took another vehicle to have the rear end looked at and I was told it needed to be rebuilt. Al quoted the rear end rebuild costing approximately $2300 but don't remember the exact figure. I requested a breakdown on the cost and labor was roughly $700 and roughly $1600 for parts.....pretty steep! Al's explanation for such a high cost on the parts was that there wasn't rebuild kit available so each part needs to be purchased separately. Can you say liar! After calling around(literally 15 minutes) I located the parts needed in a kit for $900 less than what Transmission Specialists had quoted me. Odd since Al had said a kit was not available therefore time consuming and more expensive getting all of the parts. Since I found the exact same parts considerably cheaper I asked them if they would do the install if I were to supply them with the parts. Hesitantly they agreed. When I went to pick the parts up one of the gentleman behind the counter asked me if I was from Transmission Specialists because they had asked for the same rebuild kit. Bizarre.....it appears that Al was getting the same parts from the same place I was getting them but wanting to charge me more than double what they were paying. I would love to make 130% plus or minus on customers but I have a conscience. They probably get them for even less because they are a shop with a business relationship with this place. I unfortunately also had the transmission rebuilt in another vehicle by Transmission Specialists prior to the situation with the rear end rebuild. 18 months after that transmission was rebuilt with only 35K miles on it the rear planetary(part of the transmission) was toast. Al's explanation for this was that the radiator must be plugged up and consequently the transmission overheated. Unfortunately they only offer a 12 month 12K mile warranty on their work. I now understand why their warranty is so limited. Al quoted the repair costing me $2714.78, $460.77 to R/R radiator and $2351.01 to rebuild the transmission again and minus $100 for an online coupon(how generous). These figures are exact because they are recent and I have them on my voicemail. I had no intention of paying to have anything done there again. I thought that they would man up and say this should not have happened and we will do this free of charge or at least little expense, after all it had only 35K miles since the rebuild. I should have known they wouldn't since they tried to rip me off just a year prior on the rear end repair. I decided to get a second opinion and surprise surprise another shop said something very different. It was obvious that the transmission needed to be rebuilt but the radiator was fine. The other shop informed me that my vehicle had an external cooler separate from the radiator. Hmmm, why was I told that the radiator needed replacement? Also, the external cooler was not plugged because it was flushed and had no obstruction. So the transmission could not have overheated as I was told by Al and the repairs Transmission Specialists said were necessary were definitely NOT necessary. When the transmission was removed and taken apart I was also told that whomever did the rebuild "did not do me any favors", in other words they cut corners. Long story short, I had my vehicle repaired elsewhere for less money and a warranty of 3 years and 36K miles. You do the math, don't forget about how Transmission Specialists will do whatever they can to attempt to rip you off. If I could give them 0 stars I would but the site does not allow it. read more

I took my Z28 Camaro here as well as my crown Victoria. Both of my cars were treated with respect and the staff was amazing. They also have a beautiful dog who loves attention! I meant to write this review earlier! I will be returning soon as all 3 of my cars need service. Thanks for being amazing and polite. read more

Very bad experience with company when they rebuilt the transmission in my car. After paying $2800 I had to take my car back 5 times and still, 3 months later my car is not fixed. Now they have stated that I need to take it to an engine mechanic to have the travel position sensor fixed. Apparently that is something that needs to be adjusted anytime you replace or rebuild a transmission. However, in talking to numerous transmission shops, that piece is included in their work. Also, the company took my car to the dealer to have them scan the transmission without my permission. Who takes someone car to be looked at or worked on by another mechanic without authorization?? And then they claimed that my car was not at the dealer that they worked on it all day. However, I bought the car from the dealer so the dealer contacted me; wondering why my car was there, as when transmission specialists dropped my car they stated that they didn't know who the owner was, nor did they know anything about the car. These guys are trying to get out of finishing the job that they were paid for. I've been back 5 times for help but no such luck. Now, I've spent nearing $3K but my car is still not shifting properly. These guys are dishonest and shouldn't be allowed to take another cent from anyone else. Very very hard lesson to have learned! read more
