After having the dealer charge me $100 to connect their ODB-II analyzer to the car and tell me it would be $3,900 to repair I called Chris at Dr. Trans. He laid out all the different scenarios for me, including a minimum cost and a maximum cost. I brought the car in and they took a closer look. In the end, my wife and I decided it wasn't worth it to fix the car. When I pulled out my credit card to cover Dr. Trans' investigation, Chris said no charge, it was just too bad he couldn't help me. If I have transmission troubles with either of my other vehicles, I'll be taking them to Dr. Trans first!

Excellent honest service. I recently bought a jeep and suspected i had clutch issues. I took the vehicle in for evaluation and afterward was told there were no issues. It turns out its just a matter of me getting used to a new vehicle and the clutch release point. There was no charge for the tests and diagnosis. I highly recommend DrTrans. If i ever DO need service I know where to go.

Unbelievably blown away with the generosity, enthusiasm, and professionalism of Dr Trans. Chris and his staff have a passion and knowledge that bestows confidence in their customers. DR Trans has addressed my transmission/clutch issues on both my 1972 C10 truck and 2008 Honda Civic in a timely matter and I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to be their client and do not hesitate recommending this business to others. Thank you Dr Trans...may God continue to bless you, your business, and your customers.

I was a referral from another mech shop, and I'm glad they referred me to them because Dr Trans completely took care of my truck. During a follow up Chris also installed a new failing part free of charge. Family owned and very trustworthy. Thanks again Chris.

Edit to review: After being refused service due to my too many questions, I got a second opinion. They saved me THOUSANDS. It was simply a plastic piece within my transmission that needed to be replaced, NOT an entire rebuild as Chris at Dr Trans had quoted. I got the repair plus a couple others to get it in tip top shape, and pause for my rental of 2 months for LESS than what they told me. They base business off of no questions. Always a good idea to GET A SECOND OPINION. Original review: Was quoted a minimum and maximum price for repairs then when discussing moving forward was told it would definitely be $1000 higher than the minimum price quoted. Then when I called later to start repairs I waited for a return call, then was denied service. This is incredibly unprofessional, especially when it comes to thousands of dollars being handled. Would never recommend. Misleading and rude in time of need.

These guys are awesome! I’ve been bringing my cars here for trans maintenance and repairs for years. They are always very fair and communicative and I know they’re honest. Most importantly, I can count on the work they perform on my vehicles.

The best automotive customer service I have ever had hands down. Chris and his staff go the extra mile to take care of what is going on. I have used his service twice and have left both experiences with better understanding and more confident in the vehicle I was driving. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend to anyone having car troubles.

Nancy and Chris were great to deal with. Professional, understanding, willing to answer lots of questions, and friendly. I will not hesitate to bring my vehicles to their shop in the future.

Chris and his team are what a family operated shop that has been in business for 30ish years should be. They have pride and passion for the work they do, fair prices, go the extra mile to make sure everything is solid and ready to go. They did a custom rebuild for my bronco at a very fair price and very quickly. I highly recommend these guys and will be bringing all my cars here for related work from now on. Worth the drive!

Best customer service experience I have had at an automotive shop. Chris was honest and extremely helpful. I thought my Jeep was having major transfer case issues but Chris found the real issue which wasn't nearly as in depth and got me back on the road. If you are looking for an honest and professional shop for transmission needs, Dr Trans is it

READ THIS REVIEW: Dr. Trans is the kind of shop that most car guys spend their lives looking for. Let me save you the time. Chris and his team will not stop until your project, daily driver or pride & joy is repaired and reliable. They go above and beyond with attention to detail and skill when it comes to their diagnostic and repair services. They did a complete rebuild of my 727 Torqueflight in my 1965 Satellite. It’s a performance transmission and not every shop can work on these (despite what they say). Chris brought the knowledge, experience and passion to the table and the project was a success. His shop is spotless (as a trans shop should be) and his work reflects the same attention to detail. His pricing is fair and you absolutely get the best for your money. Do yourself a favor and just take your car here so you know it’s done right the first time.

Amazing shop! Had my trans on my lifted chevy 1500 rebuilt around 3 years ago and after around 80k miles and a fresh new fluid flush, it's running stronger than ever! 💪 This is literally the only shop I would trust to touch my tranmission.

Now I know what you did with my lower control arm chassis mounts last summer Dr. Oooga Booga 🔪☠️. I think the helicoil job will cost me more than the “free work” you did on the TTRS. Edit: 2 years later I finally pulled my transmission again to fix the work I argued with Dr Trans over criminally high markups on bearings and seals for my Audi. Found the input shaft bearing collar destroyed. The bearings inside were intact and in good working condition. This means that the same monkey who stripped out my unibody with the subframe bolts (see photo) most likely pressed input shaft bearing (see photo) incorrectly to the case. Shady shop, high prices. Maybe not the experience for everyone, but I guarantee you everyone doesn’t have the same eye as I do.

Master technicians and experts in the transmission field. An impressive service facility, very clean and organized and Chris has pioneered specialized tools for doing precision work. I had to get the transmission rebuilt for my 2013 Ram 2500. Not only did Nancy keep me updated throughout the entire process, Chris took the time to teach me about my transmission and the broken down components which caused the failure. Dr. Trans is an outstanding transmission service shop, and I drove away with confidence and peace of mind... worth every penny, and I recommend this shop for anyone in need of transmission service. Thank you for the peace of mind and for getting my truck back on the road.

My rebuilt transmission by Dr. trans went out after 30,000 miles and I was told there is nothing they can do about it I had to spend another 4000 to rebuild my transmission again at a totally different place. Don’t get sucked into it they didn’t even offer a repair or any help at all only said the warranty covers 24,000 miles and since I was at 30,000 miles there’s nothing they could do. Unbelievable I will never recommend this place to anyone

Chris and his team are amazing. Period. So knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I brought them a very unique project that most shops scoffed at. They are masters of their craft and took the job without hesitation. It was easy to describe my goals and they executed the plan perfectly. If you need any transmission work bring you vehicle here. Don’t think twice. Do it.
