DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT THE MOST MISERABLE EXPERIENCE EVER. Heed my words…read more We recently had a transmission go out on a camper van and rather than rebuilding ourselves again, decided to pay a professional to ease the amount of stress that doing it alone causes. We were going to order a rebuilt transmission online, and absolutely should have. Instead, we went to Rob at Central Transmission. He talked a good talk and pricing was on par, so even though Kent is an hour drive each way, we decided to go with him. This was a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE mistake. After driving the transmission down and back (2 hours of time), it took longer than expected to get it back. He upsold us on a "better" torque converter. We had to send my elderly dad to pick up the transmission due to scheduling. My dad went to pick it up (another 2 hours), and bring it home. While not ideal, we are experts on installing transmissions on this van. The entire van has been rebuilt and remodeled by us. This transmission does not work. The Torque converter did not fit right and had incorrect splines that don't match the input shafts for the transmission. At the point we knew this wasn't going to work out. Rob started being non-responsive at this time, but after threatening legal action, he told us we could pay to have the van towed to him so he could look at it. We offered to do that the next day and he informed us we would need to wait at least a week to do it, so here we sat, wasting another week. At that point, Rob (appropriately named) went dark. Totally ghosted. Completely MIA. We ended up having to buy another torque converter out of pocket. That one fit fine, however, the transmission does not shift properly. The van is completely undrivable, the transmission does not shift, Rob will not respond and we are left out TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. $2,500!!!!! I cannot even believe it. Messing with trying to get this transmission to work, getting the bad torque converter off (this took hours due to the bad fit), getting it to fit for installation, removing, replacing with another torque converter (out several hundred dollars more here), getting it reinstalled and then finding out the transmission itself won't shift, has cost us SOMEWHERE AROUND 35 HOURS, resulted in physical body wear and pain, and so much heartache, frustration and ultimately rage. So, here we sit, without a van. Without nearly $3,000. Rob (again, appropriately named), only takes payment in cash, likely because he knows he's robbing his customers, and then they can't dispute it with their bank or credit card company. And we still have to get another or rebuild this transmission ourselves. Meanwhile, not a peep from Rob, despite continued outreach. Ultimately, we will be out nearly $6,000. That doesn't include time and labor. We will be filing in small claims court. There are so many other reviews on various platforms, sharing similar experiences, and I wish we would have listened to them. Please hear me when I say - take your business elsewhere, please. We don't wish this experience on anyone at all.

Seeing as I know nothing about cars, it is quite painful to bring your car in for headlights that…read moredon't work. I was told that my car needed a new bulb in one side, and something else in the other. It was like, $200 to fix. They had it done within a few hours. The only reason I'm giving a 4 instead of a 5, is because I don't think it was worth $200 to fix the headlamp issue. But obviously that's the business right?

Karl said I needed a Torque Converter. He put it in my car but it didn't fix the problem. The…read morewarranty company I had at that time paid for everything but a $100 deductible and taxes which I was onky suppose to pay. They charged me a 3% credit card fee because the warranty company paid by credit card. I can believe a King's Transmission thinks your suppose to pay for another company's credit card fee. I paid with my debit card. When I got my car back it was still doing the same thing. He then claimed this Friction Modifier that he sells to car dealers swear by it. He put it in my car and told me to drive it for a while. That still didn't work. I met someone else at another garage that drove my car and put his computer on it and said I needed a Transmission. I took it back to Karl who said then I needed a Transmission. Needless to say the warranty company subtracted the amount they paid on the torque converter from the salvaged transmission because they said he misdiagnosed my car. That left me paying over $1,200. I filed a complaint with the attorney General office and his wife replys after I respond to Attorney General. After speaking with the AG I was informed that I can file complaint with NC Dept of Justice. I tried to get them to fo the right thing. They are going to wished they did because I'm going to file my complaint with NC Deot of Justice. They are crooks so stay away.

I had my Tranny worked on by another shop and then something else supposedly went wrong with it…read moreagain 6 months later. I work on vehicles all the time and I know that when you get into an area of the vehicle you can see other things that might need to be replaced soon so you either do the work then or at least make a comment about it. I spent a ton of money at the other shop and when I returned with the new problem they just acted like I still had another ton of money to spend on it. There was no way that the problem was not obvious when they had it the first time so I simply could not trust them. I came to Mark at General Transmission and he identified the new problem right away and the estimate that he gave me WAS EXACTLY what it cost!!! And he also told me that since he was not able to completely remove the tranny and go over the whole thing, (I didn't have the money for him to do that), but he told me anyway that he felt everything was fine but he couldn't guarantee that something else might not go wrong. That is usually not what people like to hear but I would rather hear that from a mechanic instead of them trying to butter me up or feed me a line of bull unlike the first shop. I will be going here again if I or anyone in my family needs tranny work!

Mine was a timely appointment, excellent communication, perfect repair and sensible price for fix. Kudos to Mark who must be considered an excellent specialty technician and businessman. General Transmission & Repair is expert and a key automotive transmission resource. There is no reason to go anyplace else. Steve Mackey Kent
