Brandons Trans Missions

Thanks Brandon for fixing my trans even though I am the second party buyer of my blown 56 truck that I bought from the original builder your a gentleman and a good businessman you didn’t have to do that for me. thank you for standing behind your work it means a lot. And I really appreciate it See you again Richard Alicata

Buyer beware! I took my mustang to Brandon and he did a tranny and clutch replacement. The day I pick my car up, it squelch’s loud and roars. I go back and let Brandon himself know and he says that’s normal for now. The tranny only got worse from there. I took my mustang back 3 different times. Each time I took it back, the tech known as «Honda John «said it was fine. I finally had to get the Bar association involved to get the car fixed right. I would not recommend this company to anybody. Before you pay, Brandon is very attentive and courteous, but afterwards he doesn’t even treat you like you have done business with him before. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TRANNY SHOP. And if you are having problems with his work, just get the Bar association involved to get it handled.
Update:
If there was no fault found, then why was it rebuilt 2 different times? You like to do work over and over and when there’s nothing wrong? So does that mean that if it’s not broke, you fix it anyways? The car literally ran better before you worked on it. Sorry but just being honest here…

First off I took my truck here for the 4WD system to be diagnosed when the owner failed to tell me he was going to take a 2 week vacation so first part of my bad experience was they held my truck for over 3 weeks. 2^nd thing is when I took my truck in to have the 4wd CPU/​system checked out they misdiagnosed it as the actuator being bad, so they ordered the parts went to change out the actuator to find the transfer case was no good (supposedly) but the actuator was ok. They found a Toyota Service Bulletin that said the part # of the transfer case and 4wd CPU had superseded to a different part #. Brandon calls me on the phone and gives me a quote of $ 6000.00 to replace the two parts and seal my leaking oil pan (which I gave him 8QTS of 5W/​20 Royal Purple oil and a K&N oil filter to replace with) I told him this is way too much for me to afford so he gets a quote on a non superseded (old part#) transfer case from a junk yard which still came out to over $ 4k. I knew something was up then so I called every Toyota dealership in CA. to confirm prices and part #‘s on these upgraded/​superseded transfer case’s and 4wd CPU parts, only to find that the part superseded 2 times not just once and I can get the brand new transfer case and new 4WD CPU for cheaper than Brandon quoted me on the used old parts from the junk yard! Once I realized these guys where trying to screw me over I went down to Brandon’s shop to make sure they had the right parts and sure enough they ordered the old transfer case and a old 4WD CPU parts and not the new superseded parts which actually fix the problem, so I told Brandon to take the parts back and I would order and pick up all the parts for him to install because they were trying to charge me more for a junkyard part than the dealership was charging me for a brand new superseded parts. I think this made him mad that he didn’t rip me off right then and there so of course he was going to have his revenge. So I finally get the parts to him, takes him another week to install my transfer case and change the oil in my truck and seal the oil pan in which he just sloppily put silicone around the outside of the oil pan and that’s all. I got my truck back after they installed the new transfer case and 4WD CPU after a month of them having my truck. I then immediately noticed a weird sound coming from the transfer case, so I babied my truck for a few days slowly driving it around town hoping the noise would go away, well on my way home one day just a few days after I got my truck back from them it made a loud snap then grinding noise coming out of the new transfer case so I took it back to their shop immediately. Brandon claims nothing to be wrong with the transfer case and says I blew up my rear differential and that’s the noise but keeps saying for some reason «I put the right oil in the transfer case so it should be good?» So I take my truck to a good friend and even better gear guy who rebuilt my rear differential and had him take it apart to see what’s wrong with my rear differential. «Nothing» he says. I finally figured out that it was Brandon’s Transmission and their staff who either aren’t smart enough to know oil goes into a transfer case and didn’t put oil in it when they installed it or they didn’t put oil in it on purpose to destroy the new transfer case, my rear differential, & transmission which is what would have happened had I not figured out something was wrong. They also stole the 8 quarts of Royal Purple Oil and K&N oil filter I gave them to put into my truck because when I got my truck back I checked the fluids and there was some really old dirty oil in my truck that I know I don’t use that they purposely put into my truck to ruin it! Brandon brags to me about how he has machines that easily put used oil back into anything. Also they drained my radiator and messed with the front axels so those are leaking now as well. After I got my truck back from them I also noticed that my oil pan is still leaking because the ghetto/​sloppy silicone job they did on my oil pan didn’t seal anything! The people who work here are shady and so is Brandon!!! Rip off mechanics at best! They also had been talking to another dealership which had ripped me off for a transmission before and this is the reason I think they treated me this way because another business slandered my name to Brandon and his cronies. I know this because the mechanic John smart remarked to me one day about my truck the same exact thing that the dealership used to say after they ripped me off I even stated something to them as Brandon and Honda John where laughing at me then all of a sudden Brandon stops laughing and says «No we haven’t been talking to those guys, we just like to joke with our customers». Real funny haha. So in the end my truck needs more work now than it did before I took it to these slackers/​scammers that ripped me off completely. CONSUMERS BEWARE THIS BUSINESS IS OWNED AND RAN BY CROOKS!
