Lino is great. Super honest guy. Just look in their service lot to know: State Trooper and Border Patrol vehicles, which means Lino’s had their contract. That’s all I needed to know. Brought one of my trucks here, but Lino couldn’t find anything wrong. Not only did he not charge me, but he drove it to the next shop himself. Do yourself a favor and just take your vehicle here.

Took my Nissan Rogue and he did a diagnostic and puns out it was a step motor part that we needed to change. So I ended paying an Excellent and fair price, I thank Mr. Lino for his honesty and professionalism at this industry. I will highly recommend Lino’s Transmission shop.

Found this place nearby, was in desperate need to get it fixed. Needed a ride and luckily they gave me a ride back to my house. With no transportation to get no where since it was my only vehicle, luckily it was just a minor fix. They gave me a ride back to their business the day after and left with no issues with my vehicle. This was 6 months ago and still works like a charm, thank you!

Mejia Part 1 I was stranded out on Hwy 281 in the middle of no man's land. Transmission gave out. I am by far nowhere near being a transmission mechanic. AAA arranged for my tow into the closest GMC/Buick dealership which was in Edinburg, TX. The service person at the desk pretty much told me since I wasn't from there I was not going to get any attention until the locals got serviced first. His exact words were, "we have people from here that have been waiting for 2 weeks... we won't get to you for 3 weeks". Is this the attitude I'm going to be running into down here? Well, first of all I "was" born in the RGV. I live in Texas City, TX. The tow driver said take it to Lino's. He's the best around. By this time... I am exhausted and about ready to scream at the first stray dog that came walking by... I called Lino's... I explained my situation... Albert said, bring it in. I can't assess it until tomorrow... Well, he didn't call me the next day, he called me that "same" day and told me what the problem was, how much and how long it would take. I know they could tell I was stressed out when I first walked in. He said we'll get you back on the road as soon as we can. They got right on it... I said Ok boys... do your thing...so far, I'm feeling very confident. Stay tuned for "Mejia Part 2", the final outcome... Arturo Mejia Texas City, TX Mejia Part 2 Having to leave my truck in an unknown area made me feel very uneasy to say the least... but I had to trust Lino and his crew. At first Albert was telling me it would be a week before he could have it back... by the time it was all said and done, Lino's crew had my truck ready in 1.5 days from the time they removed, rebuilt and replaced my transmission. I flew in Tuesday morning. By 3:30 that same afternoon I was getting a call from Albert saying my transmission has been installed, tested and is ready to be picked up... Wednesday morning I left McAllen and was heading to Texas City. I had "0" problems. It ran smoothly and transmission oil temperature stayed well within the given guidelines. I was just beside myself on how Lino's crew treated an out of towner with respect, dignity and compassion. they are number 1 in my books. Unlike the GMC dealer in Edinburg. All my possessions were right where I left them in my truck. I am so grateful to Lino's. For my check up on my transmission, I will make the trip to McAllen. I highly recommend Lino's to anybody.

Professional workers, and good customer service. I’ve been taking my truck here for two years now. My truck gets better, and better each time they work on it.

They are highly recommended by many. Have been there a few times and the service price and quality of job were great. Had a rebuild and was great. Does my maintenance on trucks too. Remember you get treated the way you treat people. Anywhere you go it should be like that. These people have put in the work to have an established business. They tell you like it is. And follow through. Thank you very much gentlemen.

They took great care of me. And my transmission rebuild was done very quickly, especially with how hard it is to get ahold of parts these days.

I had an exceptional experience at Lino's Transmission Shop! From the moment I walked in, their friendly and knowledgeable staff put me at ease. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my truck and provided a fair and transparent quote for the repairs. The work was completed ahead of schedule, and my truck has been running smoothly ever since. I can't praise their professionalism and expertise enough. If you're in need of transmission service, I highly recommend Lino's Transmission Shop for their top-notch service and five-star quality work!

My car was overheating, and the check engine light came on, so I went online to look up mechanic shops and came across Lino’s Automatic Transmission Service. Upon reading the reviews, I called Hotshot Towing (outstanding towing service) and had my vehicle towed to Lino’s. I kept in touch with Albert, who gave me a very reasonable quote to repair my car. After a couple of days, Albert advised me that my car was ready to go. He reviewed the repairs and invoice with me and explained everything that was fixed on my vehicle. I can’t thank Albert enough for his outstanding and professional customer service! Lino’s is now my go-to mechanic shop, and I highly recommend this place to everyone! Thanks again, Albert!

Took my truck in for transmission problem. Another shop told me I needed a new transmission. Albert drove it and did the diagnostics..turns out I only needed a relay replaced! Saved over $4000! I highly recommend Lino's for automotive work. I'll definitely go back!

Long overdue review. Close to a year ago I took my Cadillac thinking the transmission was done, but they were very honest and told me they thought it just needed service, and that did it! Sadly, I will have to take it back next week. So already made the call and immediately answered questions and set me up for Monday. We return were we find the service is just right, and this is the place.

Overall, these amazing people have been explicit with the customer service. They willingness to help, support and understand had been astonishing. Furthermore, the sense of answering a phone call on a late Saturday afternoon, put them in the top 3% of any organization. This has all been performed without me even getting a service, so I pray the service will be to the next level as well.

Lino’s Automatic Transmission was recommended to me by my “primary auto healthcare provider” (mechanic) — someone I trust implicitly. Because of the confidence I have in my “PAHCP,” I felt comfortable taking my SUV to Lino’s. My vehicle had been experiencing a shudder in the transmission — a lack of smoothness when changing gears. Lino’s checked it out and, rather than jumping straight to replacing the torque converter, suggested starting with a transmission fluid change and a high-quality additive. I had already done some online research and asked about a product called Shudder Fixx, but the mechanic explained that it can cause sludge buildup and recommended a better alternative. That’s the route we took, and I noticed on the way home the shuddering has completely stopped. While inspecting the vehicle, the mechanic also noticed (and showed me a photo of) a damaged CV joint boot — it had a hole that would soon cause the joint to lose lubricant and fail. I saw it for myself and agreed it needed replacement, so they handled that repair as well. Lino’s is located on 29th Street in McAllen, just north of Business 83. Parking can be a little tight, as the lot is usually full of cars, but you can pull into the first gate and park where possible. After check-in, they’ll move your vehicle as needed. The waiting area isn’t fancy, but it’s clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable, with a TV and remote available. Lino’s prices are fair, and their service is honest and professional. I wanted reliable, and that’s exactly what I got. I’m very happy with the service I received at Lino’s Automatic Transmission and will definitely return if I need transmission work in the future.
