Had my truck transmission service done here. Reasonably priced, and was finished on time. Only down side is there's hardly any parking and very busy streets. Didn't like that my truck was parked half on the busy street and half on the sidewalk when the service was complete with the windows down.

Now this is a real transmission shop. It reminds me of shops from San Francisco where I grew up. They work on all kinds of transmissions, and if they don't have what you need they will find it for you. I needed to borrow a tool, and I was told Steve was the man to talk to. He did find the tool its only a little plunger tool to align your clutch in the center of the flywheel, and pressure plate so your transslips in less chances of wrecking your new clutch. He found the tool no charge I did leave him a copy of my drivers license so if I didn’t come back he would remember me. I took it home it took me about an hour to do my job, and i returned it. As far as good people you can trust. they are a small shop and parking is little but these guys will make sure if you bring it in. You will leave happy. Thanks again Steve, John Leach

These guys helped me out even though they were in the middle of moving their shop. Managed to quickly find the solution to my problem and for a very reasonable price. Thank you!

Honest, knowledgeable, and very fair family-run business. We worked through a series of very difficult issues with a hard-to-find manual transmission. Steve Senior, Steve Jr, Brendan and TJ all helped us work through a number of issues on this older VW. The whole team was always pleasant, helpful, informative, and honest about what was happening and what they were finding. I highly recommend SR Hydramatic!

I was recently referred to this shop by a friend. I had a few questions about a leak on my wife's Dodge Caravan. I didn't get his name, but the gentleman who answered was extremely helpful. I was planning on doing the leak repair myself and he answered all my questions. He even made a few suggestions as to how to make the repair and achieve the best results. I followed his advice and the repair is perfect. No more leak and boy am I happy bout that. If I ever need a repair that's beyond my capability, this is a place I'd feel confident about taking my vehicle. Not only are they knowledgeable, but also very courteous and helpful even when it doesn't involve getting paid for their expertise. THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for the amazing service! I live in Oregon, while my Niece and her husband were borrowing my truck for a camping trip the transmission failed. They were in another state very far from home. One of the scenarios everyone dreads, my car is out of state broken and needs major repairs. Not to worry if you are in the Santa Rosa area! Santa Rosa Hydramatic to the rescue! Great communication and great service. They went out of their way to get the truck fixed and back on the road. Saving me from a 700 mile tow bill to get the truck home.

These guys are the best, I have sent my suburban, van, old school 64 Lincoln convertible in for repairs. Always polite, the prices are always the best around. Steve and his crew are highly recommended be myself and my team here at Low Voltage Security Inc.

Just getting around to writing this review work was done over a year ago. Took my truck in for a transmission service cost approximately $330 okay fine if its done right. Afterwards it started showing leakage on my garage floor, and shifting incorrectly, so took it back and they said it was overfilled. So they did not drain and refill to proper levels instead decided to go from underneath the truck in the parking lot and syringe it out or siphon it (I guess) from underneath the vehice,well okay I guess, this took over an hour. But assured me it was better now and sent me on my way. It was never right from then on and was still shifting funny. I chose to take it elsewhere to have it looked at. New guy was able to drain it properly and correctly top it off however was not a transmission repair/diagnostic so recommended a shop in town. The leaking stopped but my transmission was still loose and no makes a clunky noise when I shift. I have yet to take to where I was recommended but I will. The team at SRH was nice enough but I am not happy with how my truck is now. For obvious reasons.will not return.

Fastest turn around ever. Got my work truck up and back to work for me in a week. Flat. Just like that. Love these guys. Got my transmission completely replaced and a few extras thrown in on good faith. Just because my truck needed it and they already had her in there. Family owned and operated. Extremely friendly and competent, reasonably priced. I would recommend Santa Rosa Hydramatic to anyone who needs transmission work.

Very personable and helpful, saved me money! Steve took great care to only do the work necessary rather than jumping to the conclusion that I needed a new transmission. He did a great job of explaining things, too. I saved $700 over what was quoted to me by another shop. As a female who could have been vulnerable to a ripoff, I really appreciate all of this and highly recommend him!

Great team of knowledgeable and friendly guys running this place. I had premature transmission failure in a 2016 Tundra, and they worked around my schedule to replace it in 1 day! Couldn’t ask for better service.

Above and beyond service! Steve and his team are so generous and really make sure that you feel taken care of. I've never experienced this level of friendly care and it left a mark.

Great transmission specialty shop, they are always packed for a reason! Great expertise, transparency, family owned and more than fair rates. Took my 2004 Dodge Sprinter there where multiple other shops including Aamco wouldn't touch it. They got the job done perfect and worked with me on sourcing the new transmission and making sure it was running well before i drove it home. Very happy with the overall service and experience here, highly recommend, thank you Steve and Brendan!!

Not happy not only did my truck not get fixed the first time but 3 times it went back for the same thing I was making payments and paid a total of 1205 and then they stopped working took my drive line and transmission out my truck then tag my truck telling me It was parked illegally and I had 72 hours to move it when I had it towed to them so I had to pay another 125 to get it towed back to me so no this place is not somewhere to take your car not only truck was not repaired but it was not leaking oil before I took it to them when I got it back it was leaking 3 quarts every 2 days the estimate said transmission overhaul that means rebuild it with new parts not welding old parts and changed the price from 1451 to 1790 and took my transmission out and it should have never been off my truck if they were not working on it I lost time at work dealing with there misleading work

These guys are pretty cool. The knowledge they have about transmissions. Helpful, and honest. They show you the old parts that are worn and or broken. They take their time to explain what goes on in the transmission. And also help you to keep the price low as possible. One guy who works there has currently working there for 27 years. Such commitment. They work on all kinds of different transmissions from Hydramatic to the new ones today. They work on transmissions from old vehicles.

A little late to my appointment but they sure made up for it with their excellent service! FYI to the crew, I had the 2014 white subaru last week and torquing the axle nut solved the problem (the clicking).

This is where to for any drive train and transmission problems with your vehicles. They have taken care of me with friendly and professional courtesy which is becoming rarer in our society today. Their "no problem" attitude is assuring is comforting. They have not missed yet on getting it right on my older vehicles, a '90 Econoline van and a '91 one ton Toyota flatbed. Trust me when I say Steve and Brandon and the crew are top notch and down to earth people to work with. I'd give them Six Stars if I could!!

Had a Ram 2500 66rfe go out on me. The rebuilt it and did a great job. I had an extended warranty with probably the worst company out there. They were patient and jumped through all the hoops that the warranty company required. Since then I have recommended them to coworkers and they have been treated really well. I highly recommend these guys!

Steve & Brenden are the best in Sonoma County. Customer first, professional and efficient shops can be spotted miles away when you are looking for them. This is one of them! I have been working with these guys for almost 2 years now and have the same consistency with them every single time. These guys are legit!

Had a vibration in my 2016 f150 at 138k miles. Ford and Tranco were both happy to sell me a rebuilt transmission at $9k. They charged a diagnostic fee. After 3 people recommended Santa Rosa hydromatic, I spoke with steve who said to come by and he wouldn’t charge me for going for a drive and getting his opinion. A little trust earned. He recommended a transmission service and said the service may not resolve all of the vibrations but it would last at least a year. More honesty. I scheduled the service and every bit of vibration is gone. This is everything you want from a business and so rarely find. I will never go anywhere else.
