It's been 10 years but I remember it vividly. My car broke down, believing it was a transmission issue and I had it towed to Fred's. They called me and asked what year my car was... apparently they couldn't tell or check the glove box registration. I told them I thought it was ... year. They didn't bother to verify before installing the wrong transmission. It failed a month after a replacement that cost several thousand. When I had it towed back, they told me the replacement would be done but warranty was null and void since I told them an incorrect year. Don't take your car here. They're inept crooks.

They rebuilt my transmission in my truck and did a lot of other work on it and did not charge me for it. They told me they wanted it right for me and it is. The truck runs great and I pulled my camper to the campground. It made the trip with out any problems !!!!!! I can't say enough about them. Great work at a good price. My truck is old but I like it and want to keep it running for awhile.

We called Fred's Transmission for assistance with an inquiry we had on our son's vehicle. They knew they were not getting the business however still spent time educating us in detail on the situation and possible options. If something else comes up in the future, we will definitely be giving them a call.

Totally professional!! Took a Jeep in for what was presumably a transmission problem, Mathew and his staff diagnosed a different problem, handled that problem with the utmost respect and professionalism. Gave an honest estimate, and stuck with that estimate upon finding an additional problem WITHOUT that on the original diagnosis . Repaired the problem with out charge, ( it was not found on the original diagnosis). His staff is very well trained, and courteous, and professional.Thank you it’s refreshing to have honesty and outstanding professionalism

Don't ever take your vehicle here to have your transmission rebuilt! I had the transmission rebuilt in my 2013 Ford Escape in February of 2024 and I had to take it back in a month later to have the same thing done again and they stripped my drain plug and screwed up my axle in the process. Now 1 year later the transmission is doing the same thing again. They only give you the bare minimum warranty as well. It's only a 12,000 mile or 1 year warranty which is complete crap. When I questioned the warranty I was told that most people don't drive 12,000 miles in less than a year which is complete ludacris!! I am very disappointed in their work!!

I had a transmission line blow and was able to pull in at the dollar general across the street from here.. fortunately for me dollar general didn’t have transmission fluid!!! so I run over to Fred’s transmission and was able to talk to Matt about buying some fluid and a piece of hose to fix it.. and to my surprise he only charged me a hand shake and a quick conversation about jeeps! it’s rare these days to come across good hearted people like this guy!! I know exactly who I’ll be having do my transmission when the time comes again thank you sir it’s appreciated a lot!

Took my Acadia to Freds in Elkhart on 12/11 for an odd transmission skip and leak. They told me all that was needed was a fluid drain. I questioned their diagnostic and asked that they check one more time for the leak. I was going through quarts of fluid weekly. They found the hoses need replaced so I gave approval. I need set foot inside the shop until pickup and at that time I was informed of the 5% credit card fee. I had to pay with cc due to funds being tight. 1 week later I called back and told them my truck still jumps between 2nd and 3rd gear but was not able to back to them due to upcoming vacation. So this week I had a second opinion done and found out Freds misdiagnosed my transmission that they supposedly specialize in. I have tried calling there a few times and no one answers. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO FREDS if you need anything besides a fluid drain. They don't know what their doing.

Brought my saturn relay in for transmission repair about a year ago and had a good experience. I just recently had to take it in again because we discovered a transmission fluid leak. The folks over at Fred's fixed the leak and even though it was out of warranty, they didn't charge me a cent! The problem was not even caused by faulty transmission repair or anything like that, the transmission pan impacted something, causing the leak.

Auto park told me I was missing first and third gear, 2 other mechanic shops said wiring harness/plate or torque converter and can't get part due to back order. Call around Fred's has a few on the shelf... Drop it off and after losing a tech and almost a week later I call, "tech just got in it to diagnose it", to get a call back 20 mins later to be told " can't diagnose it due to a misfire.... Would the 3 other shops fixed that and took my money instead of saying it was my transmission!! Four hundred or so dollar fix wasn't enough money for Fred's gotta spend more than a grand I guess to get anything done....

Experienced and friendly. I have had them fix my vehicle twice; both times it was same issue. The service is unbeatable; my car was up and running within two days. They were clear and honest with me inregards to the issue. Highly recommend.

Took my car there because of a noise that i suspected was the transmission that even the dealer couldn't find. It took them a few days and a couple different guys to find it but they did. Passenger CV shaft was about ready to snap. Thank you for not giving up. Very fair price alot cheaper then I thought it would be. Thanks again. Will be a repeat customer

I took my 02 Maxima here thinking I had a transmission problem. They figured out there was an electrical issue not transmission. It was nice because since they didn't have the right equipment there to fix it, they didn't charge me to look at it. Good, honest people.

Excellent service. Fast. Very friendly. Honest. They go the extra mile to help you go more. They give all rebuilds a 1 year/24,000 miles warranty work. Would recommend.

Ron was extremely nice and straight to the point but he also was trying get me to get other services that I know I didn’t need done. They were nice and friendly.
