Transmission Repair in Council Bluffs, IA

“Great customer service. Amanda was so sweet when I called and helped me make my appointment the same day, Tim kept me informed about my car status and explained what it needed done. Very pleased with the prices and service. This is my first time going outside of my car dealer. I do recommend Brake Plus. I am very impressed. Thank you team. Great work.”

“Jensen Tire and Auto have great customer service, showed me a few different tires and talked about the differences, got me in right away. I would definitely recommend them.”

“I had a breakdown/transmission failure during a cross country move.

Of course such a thing is difficult and stressful but I consider myself fortunate to have been directed to Brent Tripp and his team at Certified in Council Bluffs.

At first I felt wary, as one might be a thousand plus miles from home, but Brent quickly put me at ease.

They communicated with my long time mechanic in Maryland which gave me great comfort.

I felt their concern for my timetable and needs but most of all I felt a genuine caring for my safety and the viability of my 19 year old car. I knew they wanted to get me to my new home in Seattle safely and that personal care really moved me.

When I picked up my ride, Brent and I struck up a comfortable conversation as if we were old friends.

Such service is rare and I cannot oversell how delighted I was to have found my way to him and his team during a difficult time.

I am happy to report I was able to finish my journey without further issue. All thanks to the good honest service I received from Mr. Tripp and the hardworking gang at Certified Transmission in Council Bluffs.”

“Very good mechanics. They always provide very detailed analysis of your vehicle and prioritize what must be done, what should be done soon and other items of concern. They provide price estimates for all their work and do everything they can to try and keep you on the road but also save you some money. Very convenient location that allows for early drop off and late pick up.”

“The folks at Triple L Transmission are very friendly and great to work with. They were fast, and communication was good and the repair seems to be of good quality. I was really taken back by their hourly labor rate, though. Be aware that you will be paying $115 per hour for labor alone. The national average is between $80-$100, and in the Midwest we wouldn't normally be on the high end for such things. Just information to use as you will.”

“We were on a 2100 mile road trip from Los Angeles to my home in Michigan. We broke down in Council Bluffs, Iowa because the car is over 20 years old. We decided to get the car fixed at Honest Auto because a highway helper recommended them to us.We broke down on the highway on Friday and ended up having to get it towed and then stay the weekend in Iowa since this place didn't open till Monday.Monday morning we took an Uber to Honest Auto and explained our situation to the receptionist, Kristi. The Owner, Larry, ended up working on our car immediately because they wanted to get us back on the road as quickly as possible. They replaced the fuel pump by lunch, but when Larry drove it out of the shop the steering was completely off.The car was brought back in and inspected. Turns out when we got our car towed, the tow-truck driver (not at all affiliated with Honest Auto) had bent our tie rods on one side when he attached the tow hook. The part needed to be replaced but if it was ordered now it would've arrived 2 days later. Instead, Larry, welded the inner and outer together and straightened it at no charge! This was just a temporary fix so that we could get home and we are going to get these parts replaced in Michigan (with the Tow company paying for it).We got back on the road and drove the car for 9 hours straight. The steering was completely straight and we got home in the middle of the night.They were so helpful. The receptionist, Kristi was so nice and even called us the next day to check that we arrived safely. Larry was very knowledgable and really good at his job, our tire was realigned perfectly after he welded it.I would 100% recommend this place. This is probably the best repair shop I've ever been too, and I would definitely get the car fixed there again if they were located in Michigan.Services: Steering & suspension repair”

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. As a woman I’ve always been leery about taking my car places worrying that I would be oversold since I’m not a car expert. I’ve never felt that way at Don’s Automotive. They are honest, reasonably priced and they only fix what needs fixed.”

“I brought my 85 el camino in to have the transmission rebuilt. The car sat for about 27 years and I wanted to get it on the road again. Harry was upfront about the cost and the time to repair. He told me everything he saw wrong and that I should fix. He told me about the repair and a couple of items he had to fix to get the transmission working. I'm happy with the service and I would take my vehicle to them anytime.”

“I drove from near Chicago to Omaha Nebraska, and my vehicle stopped running just as I left the interstate. It had given me some trouble just before that, but in a turning lane at 5:30pm on a Friday... it refused to run. I googled repair shops near me and Authentic Auto Repair was open until 11pm. I called and he agreed to look at it, so I had it taken there on a flat bed recovery truck.
He worked on it that evening and had part of it repaired but had to reinstall the main computer software because it had become corrupt. He was able to do that on Sunday and by that night, we were back on the road.
His work was great and the price was fair. I would use his services again any time.”

“Highly satisfied!! Mike is very informative & friendly. The technicians at AAMCO do amazing work & had my car running more smoothly than is had in years prior. They offer tools to assist with payment if you’re tight on money at the time of needing repair, as I was, & with a 12 month - 12,000 mile warranty on parts provided. I will be recommending & returning in the future. Thank you, guys!!”

“I have tried to go 3 days in a row and there has been an issue each day. No filters, a down system, then got there during open hours and no employees in sight and nobody came out.

Updating review as the manger reached out and looked into the issues

Returned for the 4th time and staff was super friendly, gave every discount possible and were super quick”
