These guys are throwbacks. Never fun to need transmission work but these guys are great.

Took my 12 year old Camry here for a shudder trans issue. Joe asked if it had ever been serviced, fluid change. Joe says a fluid change might make it right. Honestly I was very skeptical, but it's worth a try. I couldn't believe it, it worked!! Honest and Fair, 5 stars!! read more

A true transmission shop . I stopped by and asked a couple of questions about my car and they gave me some tech info and it helped . Thanks

Joe and Mike are awesome service and I had two of my Dodge truck transmissions done with all the billet parts to withstand the abuse and to last longer then the stock rebuild trans on my 92' and 04.5' Ram 2500 4x4 with 5.9 Cummins. And the price was very reasonable, way better then what other transmission shop charged for. I recommend Joe and Mike if you need a transmission overhaul. read more

Joe and Mike came strongly recommended. My work van would not drive beyond 25 mph. We realized there was a good chance the transmission was shot. Joe took the time to explain the possibilities, but they would need to drop the pan to determine what was going on. Within 1 working day they confirmed the transmission was shot and needed to be re-built. Joe explained all the steps involved which made me feel very confident with the work that was to be done. 1 week later the repairs to my van were completely done, and it runs great!! Mike explained after 1,000 miles we should stop by for them to do a check up on it just to make sure all was running well. Not only are they thorough, so skilled at what they do, they also explain the process which puts you at ease. Very fair pricing too!! (I checked elsewhere it was $3,000 higher) I strongly recommend Westminster Transmission, they are honest, knowledgeable, THEY ARE THE BEST!! read more

Joe and his son Mike are not just competent but very friendly and courteous! In this day and age it speaks volumes!! No messing around here folks just what you expect and need : reliability and expertise. They know what's going on past and present, they had a car similar to the one I first ever owned up on the racks: a 1967 Mustang being outfitted with a 351 Windsor ... mine was a straight six or as my dad called it "the old six banger" Anyways it was a real pleasure meeting these fine gentlemen who were recommended to me by one and only car "guru" Bruce over at Ace Auto on Adams! A big shout out to all these guys! These guys are all the real McCoys!! read more

Great people to work with! Fair, and trustworthy. I definitely recommend Westminster Transmission. They came very highly recommended to me, and they did not disappoint!! Thanks Joe... read more

I was interested in having a performance modification done to my vehicle's transmission. Joe took the time to explain the mod and its possible impact to the vehicle. I appreciated his honesty and sharing with me details from a mechanic perspective and how the vehicle's behavior would change for me when I would drive it again. In the end, I decided against it based on Joe's feedback. I would definitely recommend Joe at Westminster Transmission Service. read more

A hidden gem of a shop! If you need a pro-built transmission that will handle any type of street or racing environment, go see Joe and Mike at Westminster Transmission, an all-American city! I've had them prep several extreme duty transmissions for me and they've all performed flawlessly. And, if you feel like eating a greasy chilli burger after you drop off your trans, there's a Tommy Burgers right next door. read more

Joe & Mike over at Westminster Transmission are awesome! They resolved a tranny issue my Jeep Rubicon was having. Professional and with great customer service. I'm glad a friend turned me on to this place as it's hard to find honest and trustworthy mechanics these days. I'll be back again! read more

Westminster Transmission Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Westminster, California

Took my Silverado SS to Joe so he could take care of the 4L65E that had started to show signs of getting tired. Joe rebuilt my trans with a few upgrades for longevity for a fair price and quick turn around. read more

Best transmission shop in Orange County!!!! Joe and Mike father and son business are the BEST!!!!!! Done 2 transmissions for me on 2 Tahoes and going strong!!!!!!! Work done right!!!!!!! Can't recommend enough !!! read more

I went to these guys because they were close and they had 5 stars... My visit to their shop was disappointing off the start, the shop was a mess and it took me 15 minutes and a walk into their mechanic's garage to find someone to help. After I finally spoke to somebody they told me that they knew exactly what my problem was and shouldn't be an issue, they would call the following day with an estimate. The next day their mechanic called me and said my Radiator and hoses would need to be replaced. $1,500 dollar repair for my leaking hose and problem I thought wasn't a big deal. After a few hours of research, a 2 dollar o-ring and a little elbow grease I managed to fix the problem for a few bucks. I was very disappointed with their service, their shop and estimate. It's my recommendation if your trying to save cash, don't go here. read more

The prices seemed fair and the people were really really helpful. This place is run by a nice man named Joe, who has worked there since the 70s and owned it since the mid-80s. When my 88 Firebird was acting up and the regular guys recommended that I take it to a trans specialist, I had no idea where to go. I frantically called my dad to ask, and he said that he'd been to this shop back in the early 90s to fix his Ford. I figured it was worth a try since the place was so close. They provided me a ride home (Joe's son, also a nice guy who helped ease my worry by explaining what was most likely the problem after listening to me describe my car's symptoms), a fair estimate, and even stayed open a little later so I could pick up my car at a time when I could get a ride. Five stars. My car is running better than ever, though it's old so who knows how long that'll last. but so far so good. I'll go to them for all my future work! read more

Joe is great. I had some issues with my Jeep and called him. Talked about the problem and he said it would be no problem to fix. I told him I was going to bring it in in a couple of weeks. Well, the transmission decided to give up a couple days later. So instead of bringing it in a couple weeks later it ended up being a couple days. Wouldn't take it anywhere else. Transmission has be running solid ever since. read more

Went in a few weeks back to have a trans cooler installed in my Toyota FJ. Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful and I decided to have him do a transmission flush as well. I was very satisfied with his work and would recommend this shop. read more

HONEST and hardworking! Joe was so thorough, honest, and committed when the transmission went out on our Acura Integra. Joe understands hardworking families and the importance of having a car that is drivable, and making major repairs affordable. During the course of installing a new transmission, any little hiccup that arose, he called immediately and explained it to me in a way that I could understand. I never had to worry about the integrity of his work, his findings or his diagnosis of the car. It was such a relief knowing that we were in the right place for a major overhaul on the transmission, transmission cooler and the mounts. I strongly recommend Westminster Transmission for all transmission work that needs to be done. Honest Affordable Timely and efficient Hardworking read more

Westminster transmission is a great place to go. Joe and Mike run a family-owned business. real good guys where quality is top-notch, service is excellent, and the pricing is reasonable. They don't make promises they can't keep and they take care of their customers. read more

Despite the fact that the waiting list may be a few days or weeks, I have always had a great experience here. Fair prices and good work.

I had Joe (Owner) bench build a 700r4 for my El Camino with all the heavy duty parts you can get. The prices were great. Joe basically built this transmission with the best possible parts for what it would have cost me to order a STOCK crate transmission through Jegs/Summit. He always answers the phone and returns your calls, and is always willing to answer your questions, also very honest about everything. Overall a great guy to deal with. Take your car to him, whatever the wait might be, it'll be worth it. read more

5 stars isn't enough. Joe and Mike are awesome. I have a auto repair shop close by. I trust these guys so much I stopped doing transmission services at my shop. I send all my customers to them. I always get a call back from my customers with how happy they are. I use them for my personal vehicle too. You won't find nicer or better guys out there. They are great at what they do. You need to go here for all your transmission work. read more

Joe and Mike are the best.... they built a monster trans for my lifted Dodge2500 Cummins and made it suitable to tow its capacity with 37's. They were fast, honest, and were great on follow up. I highly recommend them - which is not something I often do... Brian read more

I wish there were more auto shops like this one. Jerry was very thorough and walked me thru every option for my needed repair. I highly recommended them! read more

Joe is a very friendly trustworthy man. My transmission is broken, so i took it to him for him to fix. He was able to order parts for me and replace it for about 3K which was better than what other places asks for and honda dealer. cos my transmission is so bad that it had to cost a that much to fix it. :( I left my car to Joe for a week and he was able to finish it very quick, within a few days. He was kindly enough to help me fix other problems of my car for no extra charge. that was very nice of him, especially where places i go to, people tend to try to be mean and take advantage of the fact that i don't know anything and tries to make me pay more. but joe is very honest. he did a great job on my car and it drives better than ever! Thank you Joe for everything. This is place is the place to go if you ever need anything done. I recommend this place to whoever is finding a trustworthy mechanic. I will continue on going to Joe if anything else ever happens to my car! :) read more

It's been over a year since my first review. I unfortunately had some problems and noticed a funny clicking sound after about 7,000 miles. Joe took a ride with me and immediately identified it as a likely bearing failure. Joe said they would fix the problem regardless of the transmission failure cause since it was within the warranty period. Unfortunately it was a failed bearing and they confirmed it was a parts defect. He was true to his word and rebuilt the transmission to replace the bearing at no charge to me. It's been over 10,000 mi. since the 2nd repair and no problems at all. The bearing kit was a direct from manufacturer Toyota bearing replacement for a manual transmission. Too bad Toyota uses a mix of German bearings and cheaper Chinese bearings. The Chinese bearing failed but this is what they put in their original transmissions. read more

Joe and Mike run an awesome shop! It was truly a pleasure hanging out with them today as they serviced the transmission and differential on my car. I would blindly trust these guys, they do spectacular work. . read more

Joe the owner, his son Mike and their shop helper Gabe all do excellent work. They do honest work, too. For the last 9 years they have helped me with 3 different transmissions in my '69 Mercury Montego. An old FMX, an AOD and my modified Merc's current trans -- a "built to the hilt" C4 -- that is behind a 600HP SBF engine. It doesn't matter how hard I am on the custom C4 that they built for me -- it keeps running strong day after day of my daily driving. I would happily recommend Westminster Transmission to anyone who wants to have their transmission repaired honestly and with a very good price, also. read more

Joe did a bang up job replacing the clutch in my 95 f150, he kept me informed during the whole job, offered recommendations and went above and beyond what I expected for the very reasonable charge. He even noticed the transmission had been filled with the wrong fluid by someone else and drained and flushed it for me. read more

I am hard pressed to come up with a better example of old fashioned customer service and value. My 2003 Focus transmission had nasty problems going from 2nd to 3rd. The computer readout said it was one of the solenoids which Joe obtained and installed in short order. He had indicated previously that if the solenoid didn't do the trick then a rebuild was in order. Within a half hour of picking the car up I determined that the problem was still there with no improvement. I crossed my fingers and hoped Joe would take the cost of the solenoid replacement into consideration when I asked about the rebuild costs. He allowed the entire cost of the solenoid repair against the rebuild and replaced a broken transmission mount at no charge to boot. The new trans is as smooth as silk and I cannot be more pleased with Westminster Transmission. read more

I lost the clutch in my Jeep and read the previous reviews about this place so I called them. Joe was extremely friendly on the phone and referred my to a towing service, which he paid for. After looking at my Jeep he called me with the estimate and finished the job in a timely manner. I'm very happy with the repair and Joe is very friendly to deal with. I highly recommend. read more
