i brought in my truck for a transmission issue, it was getting hot after a couple hours driving it and it would start slipping a lot in 1-2 2-3. i brought it to him for a Full rebuild including a new pump and torque converter. he calls me and says the truck is ready, i go pick it up and drive it, as soon as i start driving it felt worse then how i dropped it off, before it would take a few hours to get the transmission to act up but after a couple mins i started having all these issues. i bring it to him and he tells me " THATS NORMAL I DONT FEEL NOTHING WRONG WITH IT". the next day in the morning same issue i called him and he says i need to replace the transmission control module, i replace it with an original one from the dealer got it programmed, i got installed and i drive it and it's still the same thing. i gave it another week with the same issue and i take it back to the shop and abel drove it and tells me the same thing "I DONT FEEL ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT" and then he tells me " DONT WORRY I GAVE YOU WARRANTY IT HAS WARRANTY FOR 2 years, BRING IT BSCK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BREAKD". CLEARLY THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN ISSUE AND HE DOESNT WANT TO TAKE IT APART AGAIN AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE. ITS BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 5 months and he doesn't want to fix the transmission. read more

I was referred to this shop by a friend after having some transmission issues and I am very grateful for that recommendation. I shopped around quite a bit, got prices all over the place for the rebuild of my 4L 80 E in my Chevy express van that I use for my day-to-day work so I had tons of time constraints with having this done as well but West Coast Transmission to the rescue! They scheduled me in for the rebuild and even complete the transmission a day early at a competitive price .He took the time to show me the parts they replaced even. West Coast transmission went above and beyond they are the best. Thank you Abel you are a true professional!! read more

First and foremost I truly believe in freedom of speech therefore I'm thankful for this app for allowing people to voice their opinions.However I was recommended to west coast transmission by a good friend of mine trustworthy,he highly spoke of their quality work.I was reluctant to take my truck to just anyone specially a stranger but with the friend vauching what's hell ...my truck should be in good hands.As they should they provided good customer service at the time and right away got down to the problem which makes life alittle easier.At a reasonable price he got the job done I was so happy to pick my gmc truck up.Everything was running smooth till the following week I had to drive to the valley.On my way home to the Antelope Valley the transmission started to over heat so I called Abel which claims to be to be the owner he doubted the transmission was having complications but results don't lie.A few weeks went by I told myself a rebuild transmission needs time maybe to fall in place and adapt to new parts.Then it started to skip and jerk like almost kicking inn.When I drive it local it's back and forth with alittle jerk ...again coming back from valley transmission hot super hot...that morning I told Abel what was going on he was kind enough to check it out,he took it for a ride around the corner which didn't give it time to show any failure so he said just take a picture when it over heats .Not even 10 minutes into the freeway I sent him two videos of the transmission over heating which he claimed not to be able to see a blur video ok.So finally I asked him he needed to really look into it because these problem can escalate to something regretable.I find it weird in how he's top of the line scanner couldn't detect anything wrong but on the other hand my auto zone scanner came back with results.Again I'm forever thankful to Abel the owner of west coast transmission for taking the time to fix my truck...oh by the way I respect in how they back up the warentee..so let see in how things turn out which I know and hope everyone can walk away win/win situation...I'll keep everyone posted...I know how things can get from a business owners perspective...trust me I run a business as well... with that said have a great day everyone. read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS SHOP At least, not if you want an honest, good job done at a fair price. And to be sure - their prices are very low - but that's only because they don't do the work. I brought my old Toyota Land Cruiser here. The transmission was overheating, and It "knocked" pretty hard when I put it into reverse. Henry gave me a quote that was half of what the shop that all the vintage Toyota mechanics recommend (more on them later). I was strapped for cash, so I crossed my fingers and let Henry's shop work on my baby. Huge mistake. I got the truck back a few weeks later, and the overheating issue was solved BUT - instead of a knock when putting it into reverse, it was a kick. Like the whole car shook. Not only that, but it also did it when I put it into Drive, AND (it gets worse) when driving it kicked again when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Like a hard metallic CLANG that you could feel through your seat and hear over loud music. It was worse after the rebuild. What. The. F^%#???!! I brought it back. Told Henry. He seemed annoyed, but said he'd take a look. He kept it for a month, mumbling something about the valve body on the phone, until I came and picked it up and there was ... zero improvement. None at all. It was exactly as bad. I confronted Henry and he said, and this is a direct quote, "You can't expect it to feel the same." No sh$t Sherlock! I expect it to feel better, not worse! Cut to 18 months later. The gear shifting had gotten even worse. I was worried some real damage was being done to the drive train. I sucked it up and brought the truck to the transmission shop used by all the vintage Land Cruiser restoration shops - the expensive one. They took apart the transmission and were flabbergasted when I told them it had been rebuilt 18 months prior. Burnt clutches and steels. Worn washers. Rust! Valve body full of clutch material and rust. Torque converter contamination of clutch material and rust. Bushings rusted. The owner of the shop was taken aback that someone had claimed to rebuild this transmission. He was especially shocked by all the rust. He figured Henry's shop must have either ignored the rust that was in there, or (more likely) switched my transmission out for one that had been laying around for a long time exposed to the elements. I wondered why they'd painted the whole transmission case silver when I got it. Now I know. When I told the owner of the good transmission shop what Henry said when I complained he shook his head sadly and said, "Well, when you pick it up from us, you can expect it to feel like a new transmission." And it did. I asked Henry for my money back and told me to fuck myself and, "Do what you gotta do." Cool. If I have to sue him to get my money back I will. I had the transmission shop document the damage and keep aside the rusted worm parts they took out. I'm also reporting the shop to the DMV/CA Bureau of Automotive Repair. He's a crook. And that's not just me saying it. The City Attorney brought charges against him for swindling customers in the past. Don't make the same mistake I did. Bring your car anywhere else. read more

Please don't ever go here!!! You know how people say "Find an honest trustworthy mechanic." This place is the complete opposite. I have been lied to, taken advantage of and screwed over by this place. I've had my car since January 2013. Its been at West Coast transmissions for about half the time I've owned it. I am not just writing this review out of anger or a personal issues with West Coast Transmissions. I am writing this to prevent anyone else from ever having to deal with the most unprofessional disappointing rip off people ever. They don't care about you or your car. They don't care about keeping a good reputation as a shop. I can't believe how shady people can be. I'm shocked! I wouldn't be surprised if they get reported and are forced to close. read more

It's funny how this place took off my comment on how crapy of a job they did for me yet they still take it off because the truth hurts, no I'm not another shop demoting west coast transmissions I'm obviously not the only one that thinks west coast trans. Did a bad job as others have bad reviews on here too. I think my review is honest in saying west coast transmissions was a great place but some times an old dog can't do new tricks There's a reason for one star and that is it. One person said not to even go here I think you should as west coast transmissions does deserve more chances for positive reviews read more

As a woman, I always have to worry about car repair shops taking advantage of me because they think I don't know any better. West Coast was recommended to me by a friend after I had concerns that another shop was scamming me. Turns out, I was right about the other guys scamming me. Henry was honest and referred me to the dealership because there was a recall on my transmission that I didn't know about instead of just making me buy a new one from him. I baked him cupcakes and brought him beer because I was so incredibly grateful! That was the least I could do- he saved me $4,000!!! West Coast Transmissions is one of the few honest places left in LA. read more

I took my car to someone a relative recommended and that mechanic did something I had discussed with him NOT to do and he did it anyway. Bottom line is it caused my transmission to get worse. I have used this other mechanic before and he has done work on my car and told me it needed to be fixed. Apparently because I am related to someone else that he has been ripping off and doing work that didn't need to be done and thought he could get away with that from me. As much as I want to name the business I can't because it will ruin some relationships. Now, after this happened and I was quoted a price I decided to shop around first. I know how much money a kit to rebuild my transmission costs so I know what I was being charged for labor. It wasn't a terrible price however I am not new to auto repair and I know how long it takes to do something. Wholesale Transmission is the BOMB! Call and ask for Henry and tell him you read my yelp review. I called and Henry quoted me a price and I asked about a warranty figured I would get 90 days. He said one year! I couldn't believe it, I went down to introduce myself and let him know who I was so when I was ready he would remember me. Two days before the 4th of July and I go down and he says leave it and I will have it done tomorrow. I did not think it was possible. Figured it would be late the next day. It was less than 24 hours. They must have elf's working in the back, I just didn't see them. I got the best price in the SFV and my cat runs like brand new. I would not expect the same 24 hour turn around time. I can tell you this, you are getting good parts from experienced professionals and you will be so happy when you get your car back. Any transmission or clutch work don't call anyone else! Thank you Wholesale Transmissions! read more

I got my transmission fixed here. Henry is an excellent honest mechanic. Got everything done in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. I also received a great warranty. Very professional and reasonable. Thanks Henry! read more

I have had this shop put transmissions in 3 different cars. They just rebuilt a 6 speed transmission in my sons Camaro. They always do a great Job and have always been fare with their pricing. I would recommend this shop! read more

My car was leaking transmission oil, I was told by a mechanic it was a transmission problem and it would cost me anywhere from $1,000 to $1,400. I went to west coast transmissions and the owner explained it was only a minor seal leak and charged me $45 and I was out of there in a hour .... Now that is good business and I will highly recommend them . read more

Car was delivered as promised. Priced far better than anyone else I had called. Henry was honest and I was very impressed. This 1998 Ford is running like a new car. Thank you Henry and team. read more

I've been going to west coast transmission for years. Once again Henry did a great job at a great price! It's such a shame that people never take the time to right good reviews. This guy been in business over thirty years, he must be doing something right. Thanks again! read more

Henry was great fixing my car and Vidal recommended me ... Cars transmission shifts beautifully.., thx Henry

I had my car there for over a month thanks to my insurance company triple A.. Triple A paid them fir storage which Henry was so kind as to say he would put that towards the repairs for my car. He said my car would be ready this past Monday or Tuesday. It was not. When they receieved the check no one called to let me know a thing. When I finally reached them again, they said my car is being worked on,which they said last time. And it woukd be ready by yesterday or monday next week. So basically the fact that my car is all i have to handle business, go to work, care for my daughter etc means nothing. Then yesterday happened. I was told my car will be parked onthe street with my parts shoved in pieces in my trunk. I have a right to be pissed at this point abd as a consumer i have the right to post this. Im sick of people like these mechanics thinking they can take my rights away. Which includes my right to freedomof speech and my right to my property. Yes they have been reported. read more

Lesson learned - You do get what you pay for!!! I had my transmission done here about 2 years ago (sometime in 2010). My check engine light recently came on and my regular mechanic said it had something to do with the transmission. I took it back to Henry at West Coast Transmissions and he asked when I had it done. I told him it had been more than a year. I had to take my car in to have it checked and they verified that it had been more than a year since I had the transmission done. After leaving my car for half the day, I was told that the repairs that I needed (and I still don't know what they are because they never fully explained them to me) would run no less than $600. WTH? I had my 2000 Honda Accord for 10 years before it had to have the transmission replaced. I replace it and within 2 years I need more repairs on top of that!!! What kind of business are these people running? They should really stand behind their product. I would never recommend anyone to have their vehicle even looked at by these clowns! read more

These guys are great! I've had them do three or four transmissions for different trucks and a couple of classic cars. Never had one problem. They are always courteous and honest. Highly recommend them. read more

I had the pleasure of working with the guys at West Coast Transmissions. I was thrilled with the service. They told me exactly what was going on upfront and took care of my car at a great price. I used to take my car to the dealer, but, I am glad my accountant referred me to Henry. It saved me a lot of money and my car has been doing great ever since! Thanks Henry, you rock!! ----Steve T.
