I can't say enough good things about Zoom Auto Transmission Center! I recently brought in my van for a full transmission replacement, and from start to finish the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. David was the technician who helped me, and he was outstanding. He took the time to explain everything clearly--what was wrong, what needed to be done, and how long it would take. He answered all my questions with patience and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. You can tell he really knows his stuff and genuinely cares about doing quality work. The team at Zoom Auto got my van back to me quicker than I expected, and it's been running perfectly since. Transmission jobs aren't small or cheap, but I feel confident that I got honest pricing, excellent service, and long-term peace of mind. If you're looking for a trustworthy place for transmission work (or any auto repairs), this is the place to go. Ask for David--he's professional, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for his customers. Highly recommend Zoom Auto Transmission Center! read more

Another 5 Star review - these people are doing things right! I called at 7:25 AM though they don't open until 8 AM. David answered cheerfully on the first ring. I had the car in by 8:10 AM and was out the door within about an hour. I had had the transmission rebuilt about 7 years ago and 44k miles ago. I doubt I've done anything since. The fluid was I think low. I had a fluid change and they changed the filter. I think it was the original filter! OEM Saturn! It was filthy! How that didn't get changed in 2018....?? The service today was reasonably priced. David graciously listened to me blab and tell stories :). Carlos is a worker bee with hustle! Be sure to get a cup of coffee. This family business has connections to direct Guatemalan coffee! read more

Family owned business that did a great job repairing our GM made BMW auto trans. They gave me a good analysis on what was wrong , options and overall good plan to get fix the underlying issue. I'd recommend them for automatic transmission repair or service. read more

The team at Zoom Auto was extremely informative and helpful and they made sure I was comfortable with the work done on my car as well as communicative and fast while completing the work. I really appreciate Zoom for helping and highly recommend them for anyone needing assistance and has lots of questions (like I did!) regarding car troubles and repairs. read more

I'm not from the Bay Area, so over the last few years I've tried out a multiple different auto shops...... AND Zoom Auto Transmission Center has been by far the BEST!!! I was having issues with my car and my coworker recommend this auto shop. My grandfather & I had tons of questions for everyone that worked there. Everyone was SO kind, helpful, and PATIENT with us while we were figuring out what to do with my transmission. If you ever need help with your transmission or opinion on next steps.... Zoom Auto is the place to go read more

After being told that our 1998 Ford Explorer Sport needed a new transmission by Ford, I called around for several quotes in the Hayward area, and Mike, the owner of Zoom Auto Transmission was the last person I spoke to. What I appreciated about Mike is that he was very friendly, and honest on the phone, and offered to look at my car for free to get a second opinion in case the issue wasn't the transmission. He also explained that he would rebuild the transmission, and gave me a quote that was far more competitive, There were no surprises, he called to give me an update, and he was true to his word. I brought our car to him on a Monday, and I got it back on Friday which is the date he told me he would have it finished. If you're looking for someone that's honest, reliable, and friendly...call Mike at Zoom Auto Transmission Center. read more

Highly recommended. Very nice and professional Much cheaper compared to other shops. read more

My Audi Q7 transmission was due for a change in fluid. Called up Mike, he gave me a very reasonable price and time the service will be done. Did a diagnostic and test drove the car before doing the service. Handed him the keys. He gave me a call when it was done at the time he said it was going to be done. During the call he mentioned a couple of things that caught my attention. He said that my power steering fluid is leaking and should get checked (awesome cause I just filled it up from being really low) and that someone previously did a job on the transmission and that it was leaking. As for the transmission, I was only following what the maintenance booklet said to change the fluid and it may seem that I prevented something that could have been bad in the future. Also, they even took pictures of the power steering leak! Not to mention they took pictures of the transmission pan after the job was done before and after they took it for a test drive to see if any leakage occurred. Highly recommend. Very very informative and I really appreciate that! Ask a question and Mike answered. I will spread the word if anyone needs a transmission job done. For sure I will be a repeat customer. read more

This place is great! I was having an issue and a mechanic said it was an issue with my transmission. Many places were charging $140-$250 to just check and I called Zoom. They were not available because the team was going through training so they were not able to help me but we did schedule a time for a time and offered a free estimate. I came and they confirmed the transmission needed to be replaced. They also provided me in detail what my car needed and the timeframe. The team had a family atmosphere where the daughter helped me the day I dropped off my car and the parents helped me when picking up my car. I checked with the vehicle manufacturer and my vehicle was still under warranty so I went back to the manufacturer. If I had to get this done it would totally be at Zoom! read more

Great service. I had what I thought was a rear end noise in a truck I bought from back East. Thought I fixed it with a differential fluid change but it came back. Tried self diagnosing it over and over again. It would just happen uphill at highway speeds. Zoom took it out a for a few test drives, couldn't replicate as it wouldn't go up to speed. Thought it was a torque converter noise. They recommended a transmission service. Being that it likely never done I had them take care of it. 50 miles later, no more noise. I guess I shouldn't self diagnose. For a few hundred bucks problem solved. read more

Best service and price overall. After checking four shops, I brought my Ford escape in for transmission repair and Mike fixed it and found a broken axle also which he repaired. The price is way better than any other place that I checked. Absolutely cannot go wrong with this shop plus Mike is very engaging and also helped me get the smog checked in the same strip mall. Ten stars. read more

Zoom Auto Transmission Center took excellent care of my automobile and when I got it back it was driving better than when I had first bought it (Ford Fusion 2020). I will be bringing my car in to them for any and all future repairs needed. The folks are very kind and professional as well. Thanks guys!!! read more

They rebuilt the transmission on my Honda Accord 4 years ago, for a fair price. The transmission is still working smoothly today. I was worried it would've been a big waste of money if the rebuild failed after 1-2 years. Looking back, it was worth it and they did a good job. read more

I thought I needed a transmission in my 2004 Nissan Frontier. I took it here to David at Zoom auto transmission. My truck has not been acting right. I recently had the fuel pump changed and that mechanic then suggested after changing the fuel pump is probably best to change the transmission. Now here I am at zoom auto transmission. I explained to David what has been going on with my truck. He asked if I live nearby he would be willing to give me a ride home so he can see if the truck would act up while we were in the car together. It did he told me he didn't think it was a transmission. He thinks there's something else going on. I'm still in the troubleshooting phase but I'm glad I didn't put a transmission in if I don't need it and for that I'm very grateful. I can not afford to put a transmission in if I do not need it. read more

They are working to resolve my issues. Thx again It is greatly appreciated and speaks volumes about their dedication to customer service. read more

I went to high school w David and I reached out needing some help with my car because let's face it, I don't know too much about cars and some mechanics aren't honest !!! Thank you David and Zoom Auto for fixing my 2002 Lexus GS300's starter problems. They were able to identify the problem and fix it within a day. I've had no issues since and I feel very comfortable coming back for their help with this car (if it lasts any longer haha) or any future cars. I highly recommend them! :-) read more

My experience was amazing and outstanding . Mike completely took excellent care of my vehicle quoted me an extremely fair price . Completely understanding of my work schedule and situation . Completely professional and understood the service that I needed on my vehicle . Excellent customer service . read more

Super friendly! A trust worthy business, they fixed my 2016 Honda Civic it was leaking oil from various places, they fixed all leaks changed oil within hours for half the price at other shop, Muy buen negocio!!! Super recomendable!!! read more

Amazing service, very straight forward. I was visiting from Reno, NV and my check engine light came on. They quickly diagnosed the problem and told me how to handle it, getting me safely back on my way home. Everyone at the shop was extremely professional and reassuring, definitely recommend their services!! read more

I went here a week ago and they really helped me out! I had great service every time I went and saw that the company really values there customers. I would like to say that they have great deals and are flexible. They are fast at responding every time I called to see what I should do with the car. read more

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado. I have had issues with it since I bought it. I had Chevrolet of Vallejo rebuild the transmission and it still never felt right. After a year and a half the tranny went out again. I took it to Zoom and they rebuilt it. It had to be worked on several times, but these guys searched and searched and found multiple problems that kept coming up. They persisted until it was perfect. I have never felt this truck run so good. I'm in live with my truck again thanks to David and his father. These guys are awesome. read more

I brought in my notoriously problematic 1999 Isuzu Trooper. I absolutely love this vehicle,but the automatic transmissions are garbage. When my Partner was originally calling around for quotes, she was very impressed felt extremely cared for when she first called. Not only were they confident they could fix it, the price was right, and immediately felt like we were dealing with family. David, his son, and wife really made us feel at ease. Especially when we thought we were doomed... They fixed our Trooper. Unfortunately that was not where the story ended. David and his shops work are top notch, but my Trooper was not. Extremely true to his word he not only honored his warranty but did everything humanly possible to make it right. David, even drove up to SF and personally picked up my car. They continually went above and beyond. Easily they could have written me off or treated me poorly...but like I said they treat you like family. In fact better than most families! They were a life saver and are one of the most honest shops I have ever seen. There is no place you should be taking your transmission besides Zoom. Seriously. They got your back!! read more

They are a family owned business. I really learned a lot about transmission costs shopping around. This company stayed with their quote they gave me in the beginning of $3700. Any other transmission shop that I took it to told me it was going to cost $5000 to $6000. I learned that they really did do a $5000 to $6000 job. To top it all off , I took my car in on a Friday, and got a call to come down and pick my car up 10:00 am Monday morning. The father /transmission mechanic /( owner) of the company and his son work together as a team . That really says a lot now days, they both are very generous and polite people. The building that they are in was an older building. They are able to keep costs down and build a excellent reputation in the community. Thank you Zoom Transmision for your services,and good luck to you and your family in the days ahead. read more

Couldn't ask for a more pleasant and honest experience!!! My 2003 Honda Odyssey's transmission suddenly failed on my way to work and I barely made it to the Hayward dealership. I was told I needed a new transmission and they quoted me the typical price you would expect to pay at a dealership. Too much for my blood considering the minivan is over 15 years old. I called a few places and eventually got a hold of David, the owner of Zoom Auto Transmission Center. He was courteous, helpful, informative, and HONEST from beginning to end. David had my minivan towed free of charge to his shop which was about 3 miles away from the dealership. He did his diagnostics and suck with the price he quoted me over the phone based on what I had told him the dealership said earlier. No attempt to jack up the price with bogus problems. David and his team installed a rebuilt transmission at half the price I would have paid at the dealership. There were a few bumps in the road which turned out to be related to the rebuilt transmission itself (not his fault) but each time he had to deal with a setback, he made no excuses and acted professionally and fairly when doing his best to resolve the problem. Each time, he completed his work at the promised time or sooner...keeping in contact with me along the way. I sincerely appreciate that David did not try to recover the labor costs of having to remove and replace the faulty rebuilt transmission two times. Other less honest mechanics would find a way to pin some cost on the customer to recover costs. Much RESPECT to David and his team for being honest and fair. Over 10K miles later, the Odyssey is running great and I can safely say that Zoom Auto is the way to go if you are looking to replace a transmission and don't want to pay dealership prices. I highly recommend them and hope you patronize this family owned business which treats it's customers with utmost respect and integrity. read more

I had my Jeep towed to Zoom from my mechanics shop, who doesn't do transmissions. They were very accommodating, proffessional and just nice guys. After speaking with David (the son, it's a father and son shop and they are both named David) I felt comfortable with giving them my business. They're prices were more than reasonable given the quotes I received. I've had my Jeep back for a week now and it's better than ever. I feel confident it will be okay, but if something comes up, they have great warranty. read more

My family and I have been coming here for a number of years now. Everyone at the shop are super respectful and their work is very professional. Thanks for the fixing our cars! Auto shifts like butter now read more

I brought my 05 Toyota Matrix for check engine light due to trans shift failure, I received honest options for my car backed up by 2 other shops. Kieths in cv amd Aamco in hay. Both were more $$ than Zoom, and both shops were very cluttered and dirty. I rushed back to zoom and they said 3 working days and it was spot on. They even repaired my cv boots and trans mount because they were in there already. I am very happy and was told to bring my car back once a year for fluid change and inspection. My car has a 2nd lease on life..... Thank you team Zoom... read more

I was driving my jeep and heard a loud noise, I pulled over to inspect the noise and saw the axle on the ground. I called the nearest shop which happened to be AAA Transmission (Zoom Auto). I was a bit wary at first as I had not been to this shop, but after my car was towed here by AAA and after speaking with the staff, i felt at ease. In summary, they fixed the car at a great price, fixed my 4x4 problem. since that day, I have been back with my other vehicles for various repairs from rear end replacements, transmission rebuilds, 4x4 issues, u name it, they have done it. The work is done right at a great price and the staff is very friendly. read more

So a couple weeks ago, my BMW started having transmission problems. It went into fail safe mode and barely moved. A friend recommended these guys so I went. They were extremely nice, and very informative. They explained everything and gave me all the different options of what I can do. They set me up right and enjoying the great work. Will go back again if I ever have a transmission problems. read more

By far the best customer service experience I have ever received at an auto shop. Mike has been a wonderful help, and advocate for me in the process. He has been wonderful and understanding to my situation and family. The work the mechanics do at this shop cannot go unnoticed. He is meticulous and very hard working. Work was done in a timely manner, as to get me back on the road. David the owner is a great help, and and fair and honest business man. All around I recommend this shop 100 times out of 100 times. Thank you guys! God bless you all. read more

Where can I start? I guess I can start with David is awesome! He also met all of my 3 C's qualities, convenient, clean, and comforting. My husband and I bought a 99 Isuzu Rodeo off of Craigslist and it's needless to say we're already having transmission problems. Solution you ask? AAA Transmissions! David did a Free, yes I said Free inspection, Free test drive, and Free "check engine light" check! Also, at no charge, changed a bad fuse that had caused my. Signal lights and heater to stop working. Get this, total cost of transmission repair, under 2 grand! Awesome! read more

My check engine light was on so I pulled into AAA transmission to get some help. David the owner pulled the codes for me and gave me a recommendation for someone who could help me at no cost which was awesome! While I was there everyone was honest and willing to bend over backwards for me, I highly recommend AAA transmissions to anyone in the area. read more

I got stranded on I880 when I was supposed to ship my car to Virginia and fly out that same day. My clutch had failed and I was towed to Zoom auto. Mike offered a complete diagnostic for free of charge. He went the extra mile of working after hours to get the job done as quickly as possible and since I didn't want to reschedule my flight, he even agreed to communicate and coordinate with my shipper, drove my car to the drop off point, performed the pre pickup inspection and signed off the pickup on my behalf. I received my car 6 days later in Virginia in perfect condition. All these service for no extra charge at all. I should simply say I was totally impressed all these value addition he gave me. And he knew I wasn't gonna come back to him for future services either cuz I'm from out of town. Hats off Mike. We need more business owners like you everywhere!!! Thank you! read more

This transmission shop did not do a good full rebuilt of my transmission. I dropped off my car at this transmission shop to be rebuilt just the transmission At the time I still had a remaining balance to pay him by certain date He gave the car back to me with a balance still owed the contract of the receipt says a certain amount of miles or a certain amount of months Now mind you I still owed him and next thing you know my car gives out as in transmission problems once again so at this point the car is still under warranty by his paper work he gave us but he did not want to touch the car unless I finish paying him so at this point my argument was finished the car transmission the right way and I will finish paying you But zoom transmission Told me before he made a decision on everything else that he did not want to touch my car again because he knew he was wrong because now he cannot rebuild a rebuilt transmission he owes us a new transmission at this point He gave me a price that had everything To do with fixing the problem and then comes up with an extra amount saying my car needed this part in order to function right So my argument to that was why didn't he say that in the beginning I was under the impression that I only had to pay a certain amount for him to fix my car now he came out with a different amount as he was fixing my car So to avoid this he should have said you know what let me inspect your car first and It'll cost this amount of money for me to inspect it if you'd like to proceed then that amount will go towards the whole fix of the car But no he didn't do that way he just wanted to get my car in and wanted my money and then charge me more as he was fixing my car so at that point I decided to pick up my car like I said I still owed him but my car was still under the warranty from his paperwork he gave us when it got messed up he did not want to fix it he didn't wanna do nothing with the car because he knew he couldn't rebuild a transmission that was already rebuilt and also because I stilled owed money but like I said to him if you so possibly fixed the car then why is it not working still? So my argument was fix the car the right way this time and I will finish paying you because I paying you for a service that was never performed the right way and by law they have to put in a new transmission in As I cannot rebuild a transmission they already rebuilt At this point he knew he was going to come out of pocket on this one so that's why also I think he wanted to refuse the car Even though it was still under his warranty now the dealership said That it looks like it got rebuilt but not fully rebuilt They see old parts mixed with new parts in the transmission And also they found metal shavings in my transmission not the transmission lines but in my transmission now that's why my transmission went out. Because it was not fully rebuilt. So the dealership gave me an estimate that was three times more than what the shop had charged me so once again I don't recommend this shop to the public read more

If your having any problems with your transmission please stop in and see David! His daughter Catherine is also a pleasure to work with, she doesn't attempt to offer estimates of expertise. She leaves that up to the experts. David offers free estimates, he very knowledgable and most important he's reasonable and honest! I took my wife's prized 2000 CLK 430 to his shop. We had previously been informed we needed to have the transmission replaced due to the miles (163 K) and the computer codes. Luckily the codes were printed by the previous shop I was at. Since they were cleared after the initial test. Once I arrived at Zoom, I told them the issues we were having and the other recommendation we had received. They conducted their on test, it came back clear with no issues. We were experiencing intermittent surging. So David took it out for a test drive and came back with no issues at this time. He suggested that we drive it and if and when the issue arises to bring it back. I mentioned that I have the codes prior to them being cleared! After reviewing the codes David was able to diagnose that the speed sensors were bad. Which is common for our car at it age and miles! I left the car with him on a Saturday it was ready and fixed by Tuesday as promised. For about a 1/4 of what it would have cost to replace the transmission as we were being advised was necessary! Thanks to David the car is again running like a champ and the Mrs is happy and it was much lighter on the pockets than anticipated. Thanks David read more

This is really a great place. Friendly and helpful. I had a multiple misfire problem with my car. I tried to fix it myself, but I didn't have the right tools to diagnose the problem. So, I went to pep boys and was going to pay $50 for them to diagnose the problem for me. After dropping it off, and waiting 3-4 hours for them to find the problem, they called and told me that they couldn't get the car to misfire and they actually found a transmission problem, and recommended I take it to a transmission shop. So I saw zoom auto and decided to try them out. I talked to the owner, and he helped me with my car first hand. We took it for a drive test, and he found out that it actually DOES have a misfire problem, and recommended i try to replace the ignition coil. Obviously, pep boys did not take it for a test drive because as soon as we hit the road it jerked and puttered and drove like shit. I replaced the coil on my own, and it fixed my problem. Although they are a transmission shop and doesn't work on engines, They where still able to help me with my car and I am very pleased. read more

Highly recommend this place to anyone having transmission issues. Davis was knowledgeable, efficient,gave me updates along the way, and was finished rebuilding my transmission in 2 days!!!! Truck is running beautifully and I have to thank David for going above and beyond when he found an issue other than the transmission. Thanks guys. From Jamie with the lifted red Dodge Ram read more

I have a 94 Plymouth Grand Voyager AWD. Long on the tooth and it had a serious problem with the rear drive line. I don't plan on owning this vehicle for much longer and need it for work. So I am in trouble with out it working. But I also don't want to put much money into it. I was able to find the part I needed at a wrecking yard, as new parts are had to get and expensive if available. David replaced the part and got me back on the road in a day and for a reasonable cost. Thanks much! I appreciate what you did. read more

So a while back my 94 Cadillac would get stuck in 2nd gear safe mode on the freeway and threw bad solenoids code, after taking it in to a few shops that tried to sell me new transmissions and over charge me , i found David and his partner here right up the street from where I grew up, and they were great dont think it could have gone any better than dealing with these guys. David agreed bad solenoids were the issue, gave me a great price (the only price i could afford lol ) and repairs were done by the time i was home from work the next day! I recommend these guys to any one who asks me from friends to family, I hope these guys have kept their amazing prices, great customer service, and willingness to work with you , thank you so much again David ! read more
