So last year in March, I had them rebuild the transmission in my vehicle. They did a great job. I took it back because I thought there were some issues with the transmission shifting. Plus, I had recently had an oil change at five minute oil change. In that process, they said that there was transmission fluid leaking. When Danny and his crew looked at it. Found out it was not transmission fluid. It was oil leak. By the way, don’t use those people at five minute oil change at 72 and 29. Apparently they don’t know the difference between transmission, fluid and oil fluid found out that the valve cover gasket was leaking. they started looking around the engine. Found some other issues as well. Found that I also had a coolant leak somewhere. They did a pressure test. Found that it had a slight leak on the head gasket. I had them pull the head off. They sent it to be tested. Found out that the head was cracked. At this point we had a discussion about what would be the best way to move forward. My engine had several issues with it. I made the decision along with them to go ahead and let them rebuild the engine. Upon completion of the job, they generally test drive them anywhere from 2 to 3 times. Wanting to make sure there’s no leaks or any other issues before they return it back to you. I called Danny to check on progress. He said that they were not really satisfied with the way it was running yet. Seem to be having an idling issue. So he wanted to look at that. Once he got that fixed, they drove it two or three times. Seemed everything was OK at this point. I’ve had my vehicle back now for a week. I have no complaints at all. In the last two years, they have rebuilt the transmission in my vehicle and the engine as well. Even though it’s a 2015 it drives like a brand new one. One of the best services that they offer. Is when you take your vehicle in for something. They take pictures and videos and send them to you so you can actually see what’s wrong with your vehicle. I like this full transparency type service. I don’t know of anywhere else around that you get that. Basically, you just have to go in and trust the guy behind the counter or person behind the counter that they are telling you the truth about what’s wrong with your vehicle. With Danny at Pro transmission it’s not that way. There should be more this in the auto industry repair. I would not hesitate for a second to take my vehicle back to Danny if I have any other issues. Him and his team were just great. I would highly recommend if you ever need anything done on your vehicle to take it to Pro transmission down on Broad Street. You will get the best work and honest value for your money. Thank you, Danny in April and all your crew.

I had the pleasure of meeting Danny at Pro Transmutation on March 2025 because I had a 1992 jeep Comanche with unknown transmission problems. They checked it out analyzing and finding the multiple problems then contacted me with a detailed explanation and estimate of what the problems could cost . I agreed to it within 3 days it was determined that a few more problems were found we discussed the cost agreed then the next day it was ready for pickup. They were exact fast and extremely fair in the price. They kept me informed and did exactly what was done on the cost sheet. My truck is fixed runs excellent I could not be happier! This truck because of its age and problems was not an easy fix but they did a most professional job! I recommend these professionals they do exactly what they said Promises made Promises kept! They now have a customer for a long time! You won’t go wrong using these services! Job well done!

Very happy with our service. We needed a transmission fluid change and they were able to get it done the very next morning. Danny was very helpful when we dropped the car off and their shop and waiting area is very nice and comfortable.

I had an outstanding experience at Pro Transmissions & Automotive of Athens with my 2018 Toyota Tacoma. From start to finish, the team was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. Danny went above and beyond — not just in managing the actual repairs, but in providing honest guidance throughout. I came in expecting to spend more on a full round of services, and instead, Danny walked me through what was actually necessary and what could wait. That kind of integrity is rare and deeply appreciated. April met me first thing in the morning for my drop-off and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Alex and the rest of the crew were great — respectful, efficient, and thorough in their inspection and service. But where they really went above and beyond was at pickup. I rode my motorcycle to the shop thinking I’d load it into the truck bed and head out — except I forgot my straps and ramp. I was standing there, feeling pretty defeated, when the whole shop stepped in without hesitation. They helped me safely load the bike and Danny even found some straps to lend me. That gesture alone speaks volumes about their character. The work itself was solid — fluid services, belt replacement, oil change, and diagnostics all done right and at fair pricing. Even though I declined some additional suspension work for now, Danny didn't push the sale. Instead, he encouraged me to source the lift parts if that’s the route I want to go, and said they'd be happy to help once I'm ready. Highly recommend Pro Transmissions & Automotive of Athens to anyone in the area. Good people. Honest work. The kind of shop you stick with. —EA

So far I have had 2 great experiences with Pro Transmissions! Both times, there were some pretty severe and dangerous issues going on with my car, and both times, they were able to diagnose the problems quickly and clearly. They've done an amazing job each time of explaining the situation in a clear and understanding manner, and have been very professional and kind in moments that were stressful for me. I also appreciate the transparency that they use when discussing and diagnosing problems, I have never felt like I'm being upsold or lied to. Overall very trustworthy and I will definitely be coming back whenever I need maintenance!

Brought in my 2016 F150 for a water pump issue. Danny was very attentive to my concern. Alex, his mechanic, pointed out a few other issues he found after going over the truck. Danny called and recommended to fix them while it was at the shop. I know it needed some work so, I told him go ahead and fix what was needed. They did and outstanding job and I will be going back for my regular maintenance on the truck. They were all very polite, very knowledgeable about my issue and will recommended family and friends. Thanks for a great job done.

When I was stuck in Athens with engine trouble, Danny and his staff at Pro Transmission were lifesavers. Courteous and reasssuring, they communicated clearly and often by phone, text, and email. They diagnosed and fixed the problem the same day, knowing I had to leave town soon. I was told about the cost upfront, charged a fair price, and got back on the road. So grateful to ProTransmisson: Family-owned means they understand families. Will use them again if my daughter has a problem with her car. They were honest and earned my trust.

Fantastic experience. I brought my K5 Blazer in to diagnose what I thought might be a transmission issue. The team at Pro transmission were able to determine it was actually a very minor hydraulics issue. Out the door, extremely quickly. Best of all, it was significantly less expensive than I expected, even for the diagnostics. I hope I don’t need any transmission work anytime soon…but if I do, I 100% know where I’m going. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!!

New to the area and took my truck to get an oil change and rotate and balance. Good helpful service but the balance on my tires that I received was not very good. Drove it out of the parking lot and heard the weights fling off. Took it back and got them rebalanced and was not pleased with the ride quality. Customer service was great but the word that was done was sub par

Can’t say enough great things about the service that was provided to us. They were honest, respectful, fast, reliable, and all around fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone I know! They called with step by step progression on what was happening with the car, and gave honest feedback on what they would do as if it was their own car. Wonderful don’t go anywhere else!!!
