3/5. Walt's Transmission & Auto let me down. Perhaps my expectations were a bit high. The reviews on Google and Yelp were great. The encouragement to visit the shop and ask about the discounts listed on the welcoming, so I visited Walt. Unfortunately, I wish I'd trusted my gut and taken my Toyota Prius to a Toyota dealership. During a routine oil change at the Valvoline off of W Olive and S Buena Vista, a mechanic spotted wetness in the housing beneath my transmission (pictures below). He recommended I get it checked out to make sure that there wasn't a leak. I made an appointment with Walt and stopped by his shop a few days later. He ran a "diagnostic" on my car and at the end of it simply said "the transmission's fine." I asked if there was anything else wrong and he sort of brushed me off. I didn't have a good feeling about the work. I asked Walt if he gave a military discount, since his site encourages customers to ask. He told me that he didn't offer discounts of any kind. My bill came out to roughly $285. I nodded my head and said, "Okay, Walt." The next week, I took my car to get a diagnostic at Toyota of Glendale. The cost was $220 and I got a complete report of the multi-point inspection done on my vehicle. The mechanic at Toyota identified the problem that the first mechanic at Valvoline was alluding to. He stated that the axle seals in my Prius were worn and small amounts of fluid had been leaking out into the housing that sits beneath the engine and transmission. The axle seals needed to be replaced. While Walt was correct that the actual transmission was fine, it would have been helpful to understand what would make me go see him in the first place. If you want a quality assessment done on your vehicle, I recommend going somewhere else

Walt is a Godsend! Amazing work. Honest repairs at an honest price. He works on newer and older cars. Does a lot of work on my 1970 Mustang and I can always trust that the work will be done correctly and efficiently. A+ 10/10 the best! Thank you Walt I really appreciate you!

She's getting some love .

My 2nd review on the Walt's Transmission's , I have to say , he is the best , honest , and reliable person I've dealt with. If it wasn't for Walt & his team. My 70 wouldn't be on the road, I'm beyond happy , that I brought my 70 maverick here. Walt took great care of it , kept it protected , fixed it , and made sure it was perfect. I slept easy at night , knowing it is safe there . I brought the Mav in for a wilwood /tilton hydro clutch throw our bearing kit. Eliminating the mechanical clutch linkage . Rear end service , and U joints My car is a v8 swap, 4 speed swap , from an auto & in-line six. My project was able to drive out on its own power for the very first time , thanks to Walt's transmission. I'm beyond happy with the results. Do your self a favor , call Walt, if your car has an issue , he will make sure it is fixed right ! Walt is very professional, honest and the best in the field, I'm honored to have him fix my Mav & other vehicles . I'm planning on taking my next car to him, it is a 66 a code mustang , and having him go through the AOD trans. Overall , Walt Transmission's, is my go to place , for all my transmission needs . Now & the future .

Came to them with what was presumably a transmission problem and it ended up being broken motor mounts.

Serj went out of his way to come to my house and check out the problem himself. What other…read moremechanics would do that? He got my BMW 3 series back to its working condition and more. The turn around was little less than a week. The video updates he sent is what makes him an honest mechanic as he gave me a step by step to what he is going to do. The quote he gave me was substantially a lot less than what my other mechanic gave me. I've had the car back for about 3 weeks now and no problems. He did a great job on my transmission problem.

CHOOSE THIS SHOP FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION NEEDS! If you're reading this review your transmission most…read morelikely went out and you need to rebuild it. So sorry about the terrible news. You're probably even thinking about buying a new car since transmission replacement is an expensive repair that most likely costs more than the car is worth. My advice...save money in the long run (especially with the tariffs currently being imposed world wide) and get your transmission repaired. You can save the extra money for a rainy day or for other things. My 2012 Kia Sorento has over 211,000 miles on it and the transmission finally wore out. The gears were slipping and there was no power when I stepped down on the pedal. I called around to two other local shops before calling Arminco. Both places were WAY more expensive than Arminco and said they would need more time to repair my car (one shop said they needed a month and the other shop said that they needed a week and a half to rebuild the transmission). When I called Arminco and spoke to Serj, his price was more fair and his estimated time was shorter (he said he would have my car back to me in a week). After reading all of the positive reviews online I decided to have Arminco do repair the repair on my transmission. When I arrived at Arminco Serj took my car on a test drive while he explained what was happening with my gears. Serj explained that he works on a lot of Mercedes and BMW vehicles. After dropping my car off it was ready in 4 days instead of a week. Raymond also informed me that my axel needed to be replaced. When I picked up my car it ran perfectly! Serj provides a warranty for the first 12,000 miles or 1 year (whichever comes first). Thank you Arminco for repairing my Sorento so quickly; it feels great to be back on the road!
