Transmission Repair near Union City, CA

“fantastic customer service. super friendly, patient and kind people at the front office. solved my issue promptly and thank goodness it was just a bad FOB and not a car issue!!!!!”

“Really solid guys (son and dad). I had tranmission issues with my land cruiser, and 3rd gear was skipping. So I needed a rebuilt. I shop around 4 different shops told me the same thing.
Reason why I pick ZATC. they can start working on my tranmission the next day. Other shops had 1 to 2 weeks waiting.
Plus I was talking to the dad of the shop he is a big land cruiser fan aswell, show me pics of his one. That make me feel better letting them work on my Toyota.
5days later got a call form them saying the LC was done. The tranmission works well and shifting was alot better. Super happy with this company. Thank you guys. If you have tranmission problem bring it to them. I'm happy I found a solid tranmission shop now.”

“After I moved out to another area 6 years ago (2017) and I am kept thinking to this shop since I had with them for a long period time as I am very and very satisfied to their services and repairs and Henry the owner too. I have missed them as well. Ken”

“I brought in a used 2019 Porsche Cayenne for a pre-purchase inspection. Rich was very helpful in laying out the bad news that there appeared to be several red flags including a heavily leaking front differential. I was impressed with his thoroughness and how he clearly explained his reservations with the car. I’ll certainly be taking future potential purchases here. Thanks Rich!”

“Fist visit for my 2008 Porsche C4S service: oil & filter change, brake fluid change. 2nd visit: oil n filter. 3rd visit: Replace front left and right axle boots. Kahler’s performed superb services for all 3 visit over 2 years. I appreciate the great services at Kahler’s and will bring my car back when the need arises.”

“Eric and Sandra are excellent! Sandra took care of an insurance issue and ensured my husband's vehicle would be covered for the right amount and with new parts. She went beyond our expectations. Eric was great and willing to let the vehicle stay longer than expected due to our insurance issue and was very patient. Eric did outstanding work, and the car returned to its original state. My husband and I are happy we found a trustworthy and beneficial auto body shop, and the best part is they do everything! Their pricing is very fair as well. Thank you, Auto Doctor!”

“This marked my first visit to Mark's Transmission, now formally known as MTS Transmission, and I must admit, I've never had a better experience dealing with mechanics. Initially, I took my Jeep Wrangler to the dealership, where they proposed replacing the entire rear differential at a steep price. However, upon a recommendation, I visited MTS Transmission, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Mark was exceptionally pleasant and patient. He took the time to inspect my Jeep thoroughly and provided a detailed explanation of the issue. Contrary to the dealership's recommendation, it was determined that my Jeep didn't require a full rear differential replacement, but rather just the rear differential carrier, along with the installation of new side bearings and rear axle bearings, which resulted in a much more reasonable overall cost. I will certainly return in the future. Many thanks to Mark and his team for their assistance and efforts in getting my Jeep back on the road.”

“good quality honest service. Cat and James are great. not the cheapest but sometimes you gotta pay for quality and auto service/maintenance is worth paying for honesty.”

“I recently had my car serviced at Empire Automotive and I couldn't be happier. Riz and Jason were fantastic. They were incredibly courteous and honest. The quality of their work was excellent, and they even went above and beyond by offering pick up and drop off services when I was in a pinch. To top it off, they cleaned my car due to a slight delay, which I really appreciated. And the best part? Their pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend them for all your auto maintenance needs! ??”

“Very pleased ?!

Recently brought in my 05 Acura RL (200k miles)… For diagnostic of a potential cooling system issue and general inspection. Upon talking with Erik at first arrival, He was very polite and knowledgeable & listened to my concerns with the vehicle. Erik/team did a very thorough inspection and concluded that one of my fans was not working. Was very pleased with the overall experience, their inspection report and the included detail !

Was notified via text and phone call of the findings in a detailed report that I could also (Pay for the service through the invoice!!) - Was very Convenient for me.

Overall recommend their services!! He mentioned he has a strong backgrounded BMW As well - Will be taking mine as needed!”

“I had an oil change and tire rotation done, while I waited in the lounge area. Clean shop. Professional in communication and work ethic. Jesse the mechanic was very thorough. I will return for future work on my vehicles.”

“My van broke down on the freeway. On Saturdays there are only a few transmission shops open. Lucky for me these guys were open. Not only did they take the job on a Saturday, they finished the job in four days. The bonus, it came out cheaper than my estimate. It's only day one but with my warranty I feel great about the repair. They even help helped me find a tow truck to get it there.”

“Awesome service, Talk to Alex or Doug they will definitely help and take care of you. Thank You everyone at Schuck's Transmission keep up the great customer service !”

“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.”

“I love this service! Jasbir And his daughter are beautiful people. They don't gouge you and they have quality service fixed my 1994 Pathfinder also my Civic was totaled. It was a difficult tow for the original tow truck driver but Jasbir arrived on saying and got the truck on the flatbed in no time”

“My car's clutch decided it was a good time to disintegrate and this shop just happened to be the closest one to where I was about to break down. I consider myself lucky, Henry was amazing to work with! He gave me an honest quote with options for OEM or third party parts and explained what the quote did and didn't include.As an engineer who tries to do as much maintenance on my car as I can, I appreciated the way Henry talked me through what he was going to do and what they might find. It's a huge amount of work to get the transmission out of the car and I agreed with him about replacing the main engine bearing/seal while there was access. It's not an upsell, it's common sense and I feel like Henry's explanations throughout the whole process would make sense to even those who are less mechanically inclined. He sent me pictures of the damage they found and pictures of everything sparkling clean before they put it all back together.It sounds like this shop has been around for a long time and I hope it stays in business for a long time to come. I won't hesitate to bring my car back to Henry if it needs transmission work in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone in the area.”

“one of Hayward's top auto repair shops. I was recommended to this store by my brother. Always give me sound advice instead than just generating money and keeping their word. I've been going here for three years. Genuine auto components and very affordable labour are also available. I advise everyone who lives in the Hayward area to visit this store for the best service. Last but not least, I would like to thank Mr. Goldy, the shop's owner, for his excellent service and high-quality products.”

“If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy auto shop, this is it. Mike is a quality mechanic. He's experienced and honest; most shops I've encountered only have one of the two. Mike is always quick to respond and patient in going into detail with whatever questions you might have. You can tell he genuinely has his customer's best interest at heart. My experiences at TLS Automotive Electrical have always been more than satisfactory.”

“So it’s been exactly 1 week since I got my car back from the shop ?I had an electrical issue. (Wires)When I would press the start button to turn off my car, the engine wouldn’t shut off right away. It would take a few minutes. It would shake until it would force itself off… then my headlight would turn itself ON. (Yes, the lights were OFF) So b/c there was no other way for me to turn off, a button that was already off.. it would kill my battery… which would make me jump my car every other day when it wouldn’t turn off properly.Anyway… I had already made an appointment at a Ford dealership in San Leandro for an oil change.. then I included the issue above. I had my car there for a lil over a week, I spoke with him the weekend after drop off (monday), and the day of pick up (the next Monday). I couldn’t get a hold of him throughout the time my car was getting looked at.I called & spoke w/a few other ppl then I eventually spoke w/manager who told me he would get the guy assigned to me to reach out, which he never did. When I picked up the car, they said they couldn’t find anything.A day after, the car started doing the same thing, I dropped my car off after hours (b/c of work)Spoke to someone new, asked for someone different for the lack of communication, the new guy didn’t like that so much, so I took my car to the Ford dealership in Fremont,They ran another diagnostic (2), they too said they could not find anything, but that my oil was over filled & that I needed another one (drain out and put new), something about a lid under the hood needed fixing which would cost $1800, and I have bad tires in the front. They too had issues with communication, but it was kinda better then San Leandro..+ it was there a lil over a week b/c I had to wait 3 days for someone to run a diagnostic ?I honestly felt discouraged, and I didn’t know who to trust.Then I went ahead and took it to Managal Motors, because I remember having a good experience with my rotors getting replaced a few years ago.I called in, I dropped my car off the day of. I was told that they were going to run another diagnostic (3) and that it would take some time to find out the issue of the car. They called for questions about it before working on it, plus called in again to let me know what they were doing, and what he thought the issue might be, and then I got a text of a receipt & a call it was ready. I dropped it off before their shopped closed on a Tuesday, and got the car back on Monday (they had it fixed less then a week!)I haven’t had any issues with the engine turning off, or no spooky lights turning on by itself since ☺️☺️☺️☺️ & I was also told about my bad ties in front. (Which I did know about, I had my back tires changed, and I was working towards the front… anyway) I felt like they actually took the time out to find out what was wrong w/ my car, & kept in communication, and my car wasn’t even with them for a whole week.I’m not sorry for the long review, I’ve been really frustrated with the lost of money,time and lack of communication and trust. I’m so thankful that my car is back up n running.? THANK YOU MANGALE MOTORS!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Ps. I had some burnt wires (from a car accident) that needed to be replaced, and the total cost was $537.69Which includes a diagnostic, parts, & labor.”

“Brought in my car for a check engine light and ended up being diagnosed with some major problems. Now, he could easily have taken my money and done this major repair, but he actually cautioned us against this and suggested we pursue help from the manufacturer since my car wasn’t very old, and had fairly low mileage. Thanks to him, after a lengthy back and forth with the manufacturer, we are saving THOUSANDS on this repair. So grateful that he was so honest and gave us advice that was truly in our best interest. We will be referring friends and family here for their needs! One family member has already had a repair done and was happy with the service and pricing. Good, honest shop! You won’t regret bringing them your business.”

“When you have a 1977 Datsun 280Z with Airconditioning and an Automatic Transmission that is, . . infested with Gremlins (not the American Motor's versions) of the little bug types. The only place to go and the only person on the west coast of California is Ken at Dando's Automotive.

Give him time and be patient, because there are places that even experienced owners and former mechanics like me that think they know what's going on are unaware of the craziest of possible problems. I've had my 77 since it was brand new and it took over a year of chasing, but Ken sorted it out when no one else could. I could turn this Thank You into a book, but we'll leave it right here with one very happy owner.”

“Take all my cars here for regular maintenance and more serious problems. They always get to the root of the problem and what is the best fix. Best part of every transaction has been the honesty and we all know how hard it is to find an honest mechanic. Would recommend to my mother! Great shop!”

“Ray genuinely cares about his customers. My husband and I ave been going to Ray's for many years now and fully trust him and his team with all our cars! Highly recommend!!”

“Their mechanics make good and honest diagnostics. They walk you through their reasoning. They explain the cost itemization. I find them trustworthy of your business.”

“Steve the owner was very knowledgeable and has very great customer service. I will be coming back and recommending this shop as he also explained any question I had. Price is great compared to other shops and very reasonable. I got my brakes and rotors done and it was done the same day within a few hours”

“Extremely knowledgeable. Very friendly. Have experience and parts for transmissions back to the 60's. Sorted me with a torque converter for a 60's Mercedes.”

“I been bringing personal and work vehicles to Sam for years now. from simple oil changes and breaks to transmission swaps.

He will personally view and work on each vehicle and will communicate with you along the way if its complicated repair.

He's honest and fast. I believe he's expanding now and offering tire services.

You won't go wrong with SMC.”

“I had originally taken my car to another car repair shop who gave me an estimate for the work needed. I decided to get another estimate and had called Brannan Auto Experts (5 star on yelp) and spoke with Kevin who gave me an estimate over the phone which was much less than the original estimate. I brought the car to Brennan's for repair and although the total cost went above Kevin's estimate, it still was less than the original estimate. Kevin explained to me why and it was understandable. They had to keep my car for 2 days so Kevin suggested to rent from Hertz nearby who they had a relationship with and would give me a discount. I have full confidence in Brennan Auto Experts. I believe they are honest, knowledgeable, and courteous. I will be bringing my cars to Brennan Auto Experts from now on.”

“This place was great. The staff was both knowledgeable and helpful. Me being a woman, I always expect to be in upsold. They didn't do that. They even told me what to look out for with my car and how to keep it riding smooth. I left only paying for the oil change that I went in for. They were fast and I would definitely go back. And they're located close to my lash lady so that's a plus.”

“I have been a loyal customer of Autotek for 3 years and will continue to be. I even moved to the other side of the bridge and STILL make a trip to Fremont because I don't trust anyone else with my vehicle and the service is TOP TIER.Peter was very kind and knowledgeable from the moment I called him back in 2021. I was referred to him by a friend from Midnight Garage, another local business who was unable to assist me but knew Peter and highly recommended him. Nowadays, young women can be intimidated by male auto mechanics and possibly get ripped off going alone but after speaking with Peter, he was upfront, honest, and had a quiet demeanor about him that helped me to feel like I and my vehicle were in good hands. I gave him insight to what the issues were with my Jeep and he really took his time checking everything out. He also went the extra mile and educated me on what he did as well! His workers are very kind and efficient - they always greet me with a smile and never rush the job.To this day, I still get the same level of care I received as a new customer. I'm forever grateful to have a stellar auto mechanic I can rely on. Give Peter a call today!”
