Alan Hampton I am a contractor and my van is my lively hood. When my transmission failed no idea what to do. There was nobody I trusted. I had no mechanic. I found Jose and his shop of 9 years through these reviews and that is why I am writing this. Jose is an excellent mechanic above that an honest and good man. I was renting a truck while mine was in the shop(costly). This man had me back in my truck in a week as he said he would do everything he could to accomplish that. Even though he needed to get additional parts that went beyond a basic rebuild. He’s 30 miles from my house and well worth the trip. If you need a mechanic Jose and his team are where you need to go. He’s good, respectful, and above all HONEST. This is the only shop that will work on any vehicle that I own. He will always answer or return your calls and keep you posted on the work. Oh and you will NOT find extra bolts in your cup holder when you get your vehicle back. I usually don’t write reviews but I felt I had to in this case. Transmission specialist & Auto Repair they are well worth the trip.

Amanda Taylor Struggling with this shop right now. We developed a tcc shudder on a trip to see our son in Airborne School at Ft Benning on 3/28. Truck was drivable but shuddering in 2nd and 3rd gear with decel about halfway through the trip. We had our tuner put it limp mode and brought to Jose upon several local recommendations. We dropped our truck off for a new converter and tranny rebuild on 4/7. Picked it up on 4/17, great turn around time, drove it to the vet the next day and the shudder was way worse than before we took it in. We brought it back on 4/18. I was asking for updates on May 9 and May 12, no response, so I showed up on 5/14 to see that the tranny cooler was not connected and had two female ends showing. Jose reassured me he would let me know the plan when the transmission fluid pump test parts came in on Monday 5/20. Here it is May 28, I am out of state, but I am getting no call backs, updates, or status on my truck. I have paid in full, with receipts, and its been almost six weeks. Jose is a great guy, knows his stuff for sure, but I am struggling with communication. I will be thrilled to update this review with good news when I get my truck back with the transmission operating correctly.
Update: after Jose diagnosed a burnt spark plug wire on 6/23, my husband flew down and picked up the truck, changed the wires to some quality MSD high temp ones, and drove it 2.5k miles this last week. Its shifting hard, but cant wait to get it on the dyno and clean up the tune this weekend. Hopefully will update with good news soon as soon as I re-run the diagnostic and tuning.
