DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHOP, YOU WILL REGRET IT. They sent me a rebuilt transmission that the case is junk, if it lasted a week I would be surprised. See pictures, this is the junk they are selling, they told me since I opened it and saw this that there is no warranty, and that I was just screwed, he is keeping my money and won't do anything to correct this situation. This transmission case was not rebuild-able due to damage but they did it anyhow. Is this who you want working on your vehicle?

Payed $1600 for what I thought would be a fully rebuilt 4r70w transmission for my 96 crown Victoria. I drove 3 hours to pick it up drive 3 hours back. I have a lift at my shop I own I do exhaust systems and mechanic work for a living.I have the transmission put all the way in and get to the last step of putting the drive shaft in and the tail shaft is a inch to long it was for a police interceptor not civilian car which we clearly told him in the beginning. Costed $150 in transmission fluid so had to drive all the way back to trade it for the right one 6 hours again. Traded it out put this one in and the over drive light was flashing and transmission was slipping. Drove another 6 hours and $150 worth of transmission fluid wasted. Should have stopped and got a refund then. But was really determined to fix my vehicle I payed for a fully rebuilt transmission that’s what I should have received from the start. We have went through 5! Bad transmissions from this shop spent 30 hours driving not including gas(cheaper driving then shipping each one back) $750 in fluid. Hours wasted on labor couldn’t imagine what i would have payed at a shop if I wasn’t doing the labor myself. I believed he would have made it right and given us a good transmission. He did not! I believe he just takes them out of cars and paints them and sells them as is. The 4th transmission he gave us a torque converter that was unbalanced and it shook my car like crazy tore the front seal. So much time and money wasted by this company.

If you have transmission problems or need a transmission, look no further! Owner & his staff are THE best. They treat you well, the shop is clean & their work is top notch. I'm a race mechanic & just moved to NC, so I know great when I see it. Thank you!

On the second “rebuilt” transmission that failed owner does not honor the one year warranty or doesn’t want to refund any money. Contacted and respectfully worked with owner to ship bad transmission back and came up with lies and excuses on not accepting a warrantied product. These other reviews may regard positive one time transmissions or services but after that kiss your part and or money goodbye. I really did not want to advertise how badly this experience was but warn others of my mistake.

Got a good transmission at a great price and my friend was very grateful. Get the installation done by someone that knows what their doing, the owner explained what the mechanic missed and everything worked smoothly after that.

As I was going through my end-of-the-year expenses, I came across a bill from this autoshop which I visited after my transmission broke down while visiting family. As someone who does not like getting her car fixed, I was so pleased with the attention and patience I received, all for a good price. The owner even gave me a short tour of his shop, which made it even more welcoming.

I bought a rebuilt transmission with torque converter from this shop. When my repair shop called the next day to tell me that the torque converter didn't fit (reason unknown), FV Auto promptly got me a replacement and even drove it a city away to my car's repair shop. Excellent customer service, would absolutely go back!

Very impressed with the customer care, knowledge and professionalism. I was one of the unlucky ones whose transmission did not work, and they exchanged it immediately and without questions. Speaking with Fabian was extremely informative and helpful. Very smart and professional guy with vast experience in this area. I saw a comment above from someone saying "butt heads and do not know how to do a properly job, ...they do not speak English well". The first part is very far from the true. As of the second part, I will admit that they won't get an A in English, but I do have the advantage of speaking Spanish and once we spoke in Spanish, Mr. Fabian revealed his professionalism and experience. He also gave me great advice for how to make sure the installation was successful. There are a lot of important details that are overlooked by regular mechanic shops that can cause a transmission to malfunction.

Fabian and his guys were great. My Jeep had some real issues, but they made sure the job was done right. I have no complaints and would recommend FV to anyone.

The 1550 dollar transmission I bought from this business off ebay is a peace of junk. It lasted 428 miles I requested a refund but he doesn't respond to any of my messages.

I bought a transmission off from ebay and it did not shift into reverse right and it had no park I returned the transmission for the warranty with hopes that they would be able to fix it, they made me pay for shipping and tried blaming me saying I burned up the transmission ( i couldn't even drive it ) so they sent it back to me at my expense and told me they tested it and it worked fine, when it arrived the second time, the transmission only had neutral and once again want me to send it back at my expense so they can look at it again instead I opted for a refund and they agreed on it and then decided a few weeks later that they don't want to give me a refund, I was gonna wait till after this ordeal was taken care of before leaving a review but now I can't leave a review on ebay so this is my only option if anyone on here is looking up this company and deciding to purchase a transmission DON'T they will leave you out a lot of money, a working transmission, and a lot of time I tried to give them the benefit of a doubt and it left me over $3,000 in the hole and truck without a transmission
