A customer will call us about a transmission rebuild. They call and tell us they took their transmission repair to another shop because the price was cheaper and they want advice on what to do.

The other shop pulled the transmission and then told them it was going to cost MORE than was agreed to. These customers are in a bad position!! Once a unethical repair shop has removed your transmission, they can hold your car hostage..

Now the crooked shop wants to charge double for the repair OR pay $600 for removing your transmission..Now you are in a difficult situation because they have pulled your transmission..

Most transmission repair shops are honest, but there are also ALOT of transmission shops that will do ANYTHING to get your transmission repair job… Even if that means deceiving you with a ultra low price.

Don’t look at a ultra low repir price and think your getting a bargain. If you get a price that seems to be too low, you can bet your botttom dollar that you are getting scammed.!!!”

The whole point of these dis-honest transmission shops is to get your car in their shop, remove the transmission and then “ROB YOU BLIND”. BEWARE OF LOW PRICED TRANSMISSION SHOPS. You will pay more than you ever bargained for.

Here are a few tips to avoid being ripped off:

Get all repair quotes in writing. The best advice we can give you is to NEVER allow a repair center to work on your vehicle without a written quote.

If this shop has done this to someone else, you can almost bet your friends, family or co-workers have heard about. Ask them and find out what they heard..

Look at their online reviews such as google, yelp, merchant circle, etc.. If there are negative reviews, avoid this transmission shop!!.

Contact the better business burea and see if the transmission repair shop has any complaints against it

Ask yourself if the repair price is too good to be true.

If you get several quotes and most of them are pretty close and you one that is way lower than the competitors, you have to ask what are they leaving out or what will they NOT do??

If you buy something because it has the cheapest price, you can almost gaurantee that you will end up paying much more than if you had took you car to a repair shop that was in line with industry standards..
