Testimonials

On 11/21/2025 Tom B had this to say:
Called in, got a quote, and ultimately went with this place as not many in the area do transmission rebuilds! Great experience all the way through! Steve and everyone I talked to was professional but had that sense of care in their voice. If you ever need something like this done know you can trust Transmission Express!

On 11/15/2025 Steve Taylor had this to say:
My 2012 Toyota Highlander had developed an odd noise in the transmission. They diagnosed it as needing a complete rebuild. They did the rebuild and it is silent and working properly again. I would say they did a good job at a reasonable price, in less than a week.

On 11/8/2025 Pete Cclon had this to say:
I was recommended to Transmission Express by my own mechanic and I ‘m glad I did, very good service. I thought I had problem with my transmission but after they check it, they found out it was my passenger side Axle shaft was broken, they had me up and running in no time. I recommend this place if you ever have problem with your transmission, they were very helpful and the price was reasonable.

On 11/6/2025 Carol S. had this to say:
Believing it was a transmission issue and unable to drive, vehicle was towed to Transmission Express. Result was an odd computer glitch which resolved itself, yet Jeff and Steve spent a solid 24 hours checking for computer error codes or any other obvious causes for the issue. All at no charge! This is a professional & qualified team, with integrity and honesty, I highly recommend!
