The folks at Grand Rapids Transmission were wonderful my 2006 Jeep Commander needed a new power train control module along with computer reprogram for this part. I was kept well informed as to timing of the part coming in. When the part arrived I had my jeep back in 24 hours. These are dedicated and respected mechanics. The cost was very fair they test drove my jeep when it was all done and I'm happy to say it's back on the road. Folks if you need any work done give them a call they really know what they are doing. Ladies they took special care to listen to what I explained was happening to my jeep they had it diagnosed in no time. I would use this fine personal establishment again.

Transmission in my car went out. Needed a full rebuild. They got to it and got it back within reasonable timing and pricing. Less than a year later having problems again took it to them honored the warranty and fixed it. Turns out it didn’t fix it. Still having problems. Took it back again and they found a small seal causing problems and they took care of it and replaced a few new parts with it just in case. haven’t had any issues since. Honest employees with great Communication and understanding of the frustration with dealing with car problems. And honored their warranty. Highly recommend this shop!

Went out to my car one day to find it shifting funny and lightings blinking that weren’t before. I have an older CRV with high mileage so I thought, well…..this was the end! I was expecting to have to replace the whole transmission.Well, to my surprise, the folks at GR transmission found out it was actually rodent damage! They were quick, knowledgeable, and most importantly, honest. I would have no idea if it was rodent damage or the transmission going out, and I am so thankful they kept it real with me. My car has been running excellent ever since!

My experience was exceptional! Having very bad experiences with both dealerships and repair shops, I am a high skeptic. The owner and mechanics are extremely professional, honest, and knowledgeable. I look for my vehicle to be extremely reliable, and I want to keep it for a very long time. I feel by having all of these repairs done here, I am good to go for a very long time. It’s hard to find people to trust, but the owner Ryan is a Fantastic find. Thank you for all that you did for my truck!Services: Transmission

They were exceptional!!I had taken my car to a different shop originally and was completely screwed over. I can say Grand Rapids transmission beyond made up for the other shops mistakes They finished the repairs in a timely manor and all cost were exactly as quoted! They were very kind. I won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now onService: Transmission

My transmission went out unexpectedly and I had no idea what to do.. These guys treated me so well and were patient with me until I figured out what to do. They did a total rebuild and it only took them 4 days!! My car drives great and it came with a warranty! I will definitely recommend to everyone in the future! Very honest and trustworthy people!

GR Transmission came referred from a local repair place. I towed my son's 2015 Ford Focus, which had less than 80,000 miles, due to transmission shifting issues. The shock came when they diagnosed it as needing a new transmission and quoted an exorbitant $8,300 for parts and labor! To put this in perspective, the car's value was approximately $10,000.They claimed a new transmission was on backorder for a month and suggested another overpriced option: a used transmission for $6,300 parts and labor. When we questioned this price, they brought up the cost of a new car, as if that somehow justified their quote.Then they wanted a quick decision regarding the used transmission. I wasn't willing to make such a rushed decision on a repair costing over $6,000. This is a standard Ford Focus, not a high-performance race car.My son contacted West Michigan Transmission for a second quote, who took the VIN over the phone and advised us to check with Ford for a possible recall. It turns out the issue was a Transmission Control Module (TCM), NOT a complete transmission replacement and it was covered entirely under a recall.I understand businesses need to make a profit, but this level of overcharging/misdiagnosis is unacceptable.I'm writing this review not out of spite but to emphasize the importance of seeking second opinions.Update: I understand you have to set your prices to make a profitbut it did not need a transmission it only needed a Transmission Control Module. Ford was $800 parts and labor not $8,300. Would you be willing to refund your diagnosis fee due to the misunderstanding (Repair order 001158)?Service: Transmission

Paid for them thousands of dollars almost two years ago for transmission work. Truck never ran more than 4 months without a problem after that. They got sick of doing warranty claims for their non lasting work and now refuse to continue to work on it.Service: Transmission

We had to have the transmission replaced on our SUV and they did an excellent job. Always kept us updated and were very easy to work with. Will definitely come here in the future for any needed work.

I showed up early for my appointment by a few hours, planned on waiting if necessary, but Ryan immediately looked at my vehicle and took it for a spin. He told me the issues it was experiencing and informed me in detail what kind of work I would be expecting and helped me make the most beneficial decision for the vehicle. 10/10 experience, very honest and thorough.Services: Transmission

You will not find better service for your transmission needs. Ryan and the rest of the crew are super professional, communicate well, and are extremely knowledgeable. They'll go out of their way to let you know exactly what has happened to your transmission. They also have a very quick turn around time. I live in the Detroit area and they were able to get me back on the road and home in less than 24 hours. Additionally, they won't hesitate to throw some extra services in for you. They also take good care of service members. I will always recommend Grand Rapids Transmission Service to anyone who needs work in the GR area. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
