This review has nothing to do with the service because I didn't receive any. Made my appointment to have my trans fluid checked. Got there at my appointment time 10:30a only to be turn away based on the fact that the guy told me I had to leave my car. He should've told me that over the phone. He never looked at it and even though I made an appointment he told me he was booked up for today which meant nothing to me based on the fact I had an appointment. Another thing I thought was weird was he kept telling me I have a whole lotta car. I have an Infiniti QX60. Either you can fix a car or you can't. Creepy! Anyway my whole day was wasted and I still have to find another place to check my transmission. They get a 0 for lack of communication or maybe it was something else. :( I was referred to them by a friend, so I had to call them and cuss them out for sending me there. read more

Some years back I lived in the area of Turbine and thank GOD I didn't need any trans work back then, but I would always drive past it wondering about it. Fast forward to 2025/2026 with me having a horrid end of 2025 regarding cars I ended up bringing my Mazda there to see if they could figure out why the trans suddenly went out after just having work done by a previous shop on the coolant system. Even though I now live close to Hammond, Indy given how long I knew they were around I figured they should be able to figure out what others couldn't. I met Greg and told him what was going on and he immediately made me feel comfortable with using there services, especially when he told me " hey we will figure this out together " He worked with me as far as scheduling , getting my car in to get looked at because it was the holiday season and things were hectic and Welp long story short it turned out I towed it there dead on arrival because they determined that the trans was no good even given the fact it was just working great with no issues before the work was done by the other shop, but Greg, as well as Jim who I got great vibes from seemed to be really nice guys and seemed honest so I trusted the death sentence of my car when Greg called me about it. I came the next day and decided to have the car junked because I couldn't afford the tow home or a tow even a mile away for that matter and this is when I really saw how nice and how much of an all out Awesomely great guy Greg is. I came early to get my car off the lot and ultimately ended up all day calling basically a web of scammers with a thousand different TN#'s leading to the same scamming people in The car junking network. They where really giving me the run around, but Greg was there trying to lend a hand and a word of comfort and patience letting me know not to worry too much about how things were going and hoping I could get some better luck finding someone to come get the car. All throughout the day he came out to help in some way offering me a bag to collect the stuff out of my car, etc,etc. He even saw I had been there all day and was just getting played with by the car junkers that was empathizing and he told me not to worry about the money for the diagnosis and boy did I appreciate that because with all the car problems ( 2 old cars, 1 very old going out on me in 1 month ) I needed it and it made just overall it was the nicest thing someone could have done in the midst of all the other troubles. This at a time when car repair shops are struggling due to the high prices of metal and the tarrifs, it says a lot about Gregs character. I was desperately trying to find someone to come get the car before Greg closed the shop because he has so many cars there I knew he needed the space so it was really bothering me that I couldn't get anyone, but Greg being the angel he is later in the day offered major comfort telling me to just leave the key in the drop box and we'll try again the next day and basically no worries and lending advice as to where to go to try to stay warm and not freeze, etc if I decided to stay even longer into the night waiting for someone to come get the car . Miraculously though, like literally right at closing time some guys actually showed up to pull my car. For anyone reading --sorry I'm detail oriented, but the gist of this review & why it's so long is I'm trying to illustrate that in a world of untrustworthy people that are extremely profit driven and only wanting to take advantage of people for that profit or just for other selfish reasons Greg and his guys are a massive reliable and trustworthy bright spot, again all out angels that you SHOULDN'T HESITATE AT ALL TO BRING YOUR CAR TO so YES TURBINE TRANSMISSION is the place to go you won't be disappointed and you can rely on them being honest with you and not trying to take advantage. read more

Greg is hands-down the BEST mechanic I have ever worked with!! I cannot recommend him and Turbine Transmission enough!! He does superior, quality work and at an extremely fair price! He saved me SO much money compared to the quote from my dealership. He's honest and thorough. I always know my car is in good hands with Greg. I truly felt like he went above and beyond for me. Thank you, Greg!! read more

Greg, the owner was amazing and absolutely customer centric. Unfortunately, my car needs a new transmission but Greg and his crew were very honest, knowledgeable and informative. He gave me several realistic options and let me know straight no chaser that I probably be better off trading in my car at this point because the new Tran would run me what my older car was worth. He went above and beyond and let me know if I decided to purchase a pre-owned car he would check it out for me and if not him i should ensure a good mechanic looks at it before purchasing. It's truly hard to find outstanding customer service like this anymore. Although I ended up with not so good news for me and the future of my car he made bad news easier just from his demeanor and excellent service. Thank you Greg, you are truly a gem. I highly recommend Turbine for any and all of your transmission needs. They are friendly, thorough, honest and affordable!! read more

My transmission conked out and AAA towed me to Turbine. Greg was prompt, professional and personable. Rather than the $2,000+ I expected for a rebuild, he was able to order parts and have my car ready in two days for just under $1,000. I will recommend Turbine to anyone who needs transmission work done on the South Side of Chicago. read more

Greg and Mike are Fantastic! My daughter and I were at a stop sign and when she put her foot on the gas we heard the worst noise. She put the car in park and we heard a noise like metal crunching in a trash compactor. I Freak! I called and they said bring it in, they were so nice and calm over the phone. They had me start it up and explain what was happening and I said when I put it in drive and press gas nothing happens, when I put in reverse and push gas nothing happens but that scary noise makes my ears bleed when I put it into park! I had it towed all the way from Plainfield to them, and so glad I did! The next day they explained everything and the price was extremely reasonable! They took the time to tell me what they were going to do and parts they needed, they were very respectful! When I came to pick up the car they took the time to show me the broken parts and review the details. They were so sweet and honest! I am telling everyone to take there cars there! As a women I was very appreciative of how they treated me and the situation. It's a hidden gem! read more

Turbine Automatic Transmission - My old broken axel - Transmission Repair Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Greg is a real nice guy & it's always a pleasure bringing my cars here for trans flushes. He does my oil changes too so I schedule it to have both done at the same time. I bring him my own fully synthetic products i like use but that's just me. If you like royal purple, valvoline or Mobil 1 you know what I'm talking about. Read your service manual for the recommended mileage intervals. I do mine every 45k miles read more

Owner Greg, great guy... was working on south side one day when the old Ford Focus 2007 transmission started to not switch gears properly. Did a quick google search, owner Greg answered the phone and said being the car buy. Price was reasonable. Hopefully, I don't need transmission work again. But really genuine group of guys. read more

My car would hardly move when I put it in drive so I had it towed into Turbine Automatic Transmission. I had been told by someone else that the trans was bad, but Greg at Turbine Automatic Transmission found an electrical problem that he fixed at a fraction of the cost of putting in a new transmission!!! Thank you Turbine Automatic Transmission...you guys are the BEST!!! read more

You cannot trust this place just as you can't trust the vast majority of transmission and other mechanic shops. They tried robbing me blind! I was told my transmission was shot and I needed a new transmission. I was also advised that it's not worth putting a new transmission into this car (he probably knew I wouldn't have put that much money into it anyway) so he tells me to sell it to his friend who junks cars for a couple hundred dollars. Rather than taking care of it right away and selling it to his friend, I tow it back home. Through online research it comes up that there is a very common problem with my car that a little plastic piece breaks causing transmission failure. I call the shop back up in case they missed that possibility. he said he was fully aware of that and swore it was not the case with mine, that I needed a new transmission. With the help of friends we got out that piece and found that is was broken! After replacing that very cheap part my transmission is working fine! What a lying scammer! He tried stealing my car for a profit! These shops should be accountable to the law for lying to customers and stealing from them! read more
