Spent almost $4000 on getting my transmission fixed and he tells me it's still not drivable because transfer case is bad and he can't find it. So take it to another shop and they say it's the transmission still bad. Be careful with this place I'm out of $3000 and still have to get my truck fixed elsewhere.

this place is not the best I take a transmission to repair w money in front, en they call me to pick it up i pick up an install but transmission won't turn he said I did i bad installation I have 10 years installing engines and transmission and he charge again 400 dllrs. he's arguments is more parts anyway i paid it because he said that solve the problem, this guy is more interest for the payment than do good repair so IookIy my flight has a delay so i pick it up I install but the repair wasn't repair properly again, transmission was leaking oil he said i have to remove again for second time he suggested to remove the transmission for second time I have no time to remove again when the problem is simple , I feel sorry for he's employee because they sent this guys to attend customers cose the owner really have a really bad actitude.

I have had to use mechanics numerous times over the years and I can say without a doubt that Dan is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. He was much more inexpensive than others along with faster service. He takes the time to explain what he needs to do and why it needs to done. I am not a person that writes reviews but I felt if anyone deserved my time it is Dan for the work he does. Teresa his wife is also the nicest person I have ever met and made sure my phone calls were returned and questions were answered. I just wished he did all mechanical work and not just transmissions.

My experience with these people was not the best. Dan charged me 2500 to fix my transmission. He kept my truck for three weeks and didn't fix it. Saying that my truck had an electrical problem. I went to two different shops and my truck didn't have any electrical problems. I called him several times and went to his shop and it was just excuses. sad because when I talked to them they seemed like honest people

I have been one of those people that has fixed my own vehicles all my life. I started having transmission trouble and needed to let it go and allow someone else to fix my truck. My friend Johnny Solis told me that he was more than happy with Dans Transmission. I went out of my comfort zone and took my truck there to get it fixed. I am more than happy with the results. I got my truck back and it is better than new. I pull a travel trailer and it did awesome. I would definitely recommend Dans Transmission and will return if need to. Thanks Dans for taking such care of me. Also Dans price was the best out of a out 7 different places. David Jones

If you are looking for honest, reliable, and price worthy service this is the place. We took our Dodge in thinking it was the transmission because the second gear was slipping. Dropped off the truck and received a call the next day from Dan,. Not the transmission, easy fix and we were on our way. He could have said it was the transmission and charged us 1700 but instead he was honest and did the right thing and our truck is running awesome for 100. He even called the next day and check on the truck to make sure everything was good. You will NOT go wrong dealing with Dan!!!! We will be back if we have any problem and will be sending friends and family his way! Thanks for everything!

I have a 2006 H3 Hummer that I love and I just can’t part with. Unfortunately the transmission started going south, so I thought I’d give Dan a call after reading his positive reviews. Man, I’m sure glad I took my vehicle to him. Not only did he cut my previous estimate in half, but he did a great job fixing the transmission, and also corrected some things with my radiator that would have caused me more issues later. He’s very knowledgeable about his craft, to the point, and he fixed my car in just a couple days. I highly, highly recommend him!

One of a kind old fashioned honesty. Great customer service. I had been told by everyone my transmission was bad. Spoke with the owner personally and he told me what he thought the problem was rather than just taking my money. I saved $1,400. Thank you Dan. Car runs great.

My 2005 Suburban was a mess. Dan rebuilt it the same day. Although he had to replace gears and other hard parts, he stuck by his original quote. I know how to rebuild a trans, so I checked out his work area, and the bad parts. He's an expert, honest, and the best price in town. He's able to keep his prices low by doing it fast and right. It's been over a year, and it still works perfect.

After reading all the positive reviews on Dans shop I decided to give them a try. Dan and his team are transparent, honest, and hard working. I received regular updates and pictures of the work being done. Dan uses high quality tools, parts, and was receptive to all my questions, concerns and requests. He has my full recommendation and will always get my business in the future.

This guy has done two of my Transmission in my work trucks. One Chevy and Ford and I have not had a single problem out them. He stands behind his quotes and his work for 3 years 36000 miles.. Try to get that at another shop and you might be paying twice as much. He even installed the latest factory updates.. Ill gladly comeback.

Dan is amazing. I've never met a more honest mechanic in DFW. He won't do work that doesn't need to be done and even guided me back to the dealer because I was barely out of warranty. Advised me that they have a 'good will" policy that might be cheaper than getting the work done by him. It was. I would have just assumed i was out of warranty and paid Dan to replace it! I tell everybody I know about him, and have wrote about his shop on my FB page as well! Will use him for all my transmission work.

I cannot not recommend Dan's Automotive and Transmission Repair for anything . Allow me to share a story of a Truck he rebuilt the transmission in and gave it a warranty for 3 years. I was fortunate enough to make it back to my house, hooked on to a trailer and the first time I down shifted the truck the transmission just crattered right there . I made it back to the Dan's and told him what happened and the told me the warranty would not cover the damages and informed me that the transmission was not made to downshift. That was that and now I still have a transmission that didnt mak3 it one day and his waranties didn't cover it one day or a total of 50 miles with me making it Home and back to Dan's Automotive and Transmission Repair. I too have not been able to rate my review below a 1 star rating because you have to give it at least 1 star for the review to be able to go through. I just want to let everyone know I couldn't even think of 1 reason to give the owner and the shop 1 star it won't let me make a negative 5 star review. This shop and owner will not stand behind their work and I highly recommend that no one use this shop.

Mannnnn these people are jus plain good hearted people that is hard to find these day I tell ya. From the beginning of talking to Mrs Teresa on the phone I knew I had called and been referred to the right place. I can't say enough about em willing to help in any situation jus all around good. I really appreciate them getting my truck going after rebuilding transmission my aftermarket alarm was not working properly Mr. Dan and Teresa assured me that they would get it going and boom before I could get home he had truck cranking. If you are looking for a good shop that's not just after your $$$$ look no further. Ps. The BBQ Man ✌️

200,000 miles on my transmission when it went bad. Dan said it would shift and operate perfectly when he was finished rebuilding it , and it does ! He had it finished in less than one day ! His business is honest and when they say the repairs are going to be one price - it’s exactly what they quote - no trying to upsale - even sent me pictures of the transmission when they were finished rebuilding it.

Grandfather went there to change his transmission and work wasn’t done right, it is still leaking and things were left loose it and it was just terrible work not recommended especially the owner he was very rude and wanted to charge even though it was covered under warranty. Terrible place
