    Terry is the current owner of Vern's transmission and is the son of the original owner, Vern. How do I know so much about the history of this transmission shop you ask? That's because it is one of the friendliest, honest and welcoming shops I've ever had the pleasure of forking over my hard earned money to. I've been cheated a few times by bad or sneaky mechanics and this place has restored my faith that there still are honest people on this planet. I've taken my last 3 cars to Vern's and had everything from my clutch to my entire transmission replaced, including an entire rebuild of my electrical system on my Volvo station wagon. These guys know what they're doing and they get the job done quickly. They very clearly communicated all costs up front and let me know if there would be extra expenses. There are a lot of mechanic shops out there and it takes awhile to find a good place but this is a place you will stick with if you give them a try.

    Pay it forward!

    A little skeptical was my left brain, he had called the night before and Terry told us to bring it on in.

    I really, really wish I would have gotten a quote before coming in. I got on Yelp to search for…read moresomeone to do an oil change for my 2025 Ford Escape and received three responses right away. Two quotes were $100, so I stupidly assumed the third would be competitive at that price as well. Since they were the first to reach out, they got my business. I had been asked several times for the SAME vehicle information (blamed on a "bot" doing their initial reach out, of course). After getting there, the guy that took the appointment wasn't even there, and the tech didn't even know I had an appointment. He's feverishly making phone calls and getting voicemails. I should have walked, but gave it a few minutes. Daniel at the front desk does not ask me what kind of oil I use, but did say I was not being charged for labor. The bill comes and guess what? I was charged for labor! They used synthetic oil, which I would not have chosen since it costs three times the amount. Total cost? $202 for a dang oil change! Next time I will get a Groupon and go somewhere else!

    As of 4.15.24 I give a zero star or negative if I could. My husband got his car "fixed" here two…read moreweeks ago. For his car. Overheating he paid $5k two weeks later his car is over heating again and on top of that all the oil leaked out of his engine. He's never had an issue with oil leaking this is crazy. We've been cheated before and this has the makings of being cheated out of thousands again. I'm truly disappointed we thought this shop was going to be the exception. Unfortunately it is not. I'm still hoping they will make it right but we will see. As of 4/22/24 update. I received communication from I believe the owner they arranged to have my husband's vehicle picked up within 45 minutes within 24 business hours they fix the problem. It fell under their guarantee so we did not have to pay for any of the repairs so far so good we just received the vehicle today, I am very impressed with how they handled and the situation and how quickly they handled it

    I brought a car to Simmons today for an inspection before my daughter purchased it. The technician…read moreassured me they would include photos of the undercarriage, as I wasn't allowed in the shop. After a quick 15-minute inspection, they claimed the water pump needed replacement--even though the car has only 39K miles. They said it had leaked previously but wasn't leaking now. $500 to replace. They also recommended replacing the cabin filter for $112, even though it's a $10 part that takes about a minute to change with no tools. The oil change was priced at $91 for just four quarts of oil and a filter. When I received the inspection report, the promised undercarriage photos were missing. The technician claimed they "wouldn't post" and had been deleted--yet other photos were included. This wasn't a true pre-purchase safety inspection but rather an exaggerated upsell on repairs. I usually don't post reviews, but this experience needed to be shared.
