Arnold’s Transmissions & Gear

I brought my car in on a Wed., after reading good reviews here. They had it diagnosed that same day and fixed by Friday afternoon. They replaced my clutch, mounts, and axles. And even fixed an oil leak, all for a reasonable price. Thanks, Lisa, Joe and crew. Great work!

Called shop and talked with Lisa? Sorry, she explained they dont have a set plan for pricing. Fair enough. I then had the pleasure to talk with Joe, he was very helpful, explaining transmission work and the parts are exclusively sold at Mini Cooper dealerships. He said at least by allowing Mini to do the work it would have some warranty. The Mini is a 2005, Mini was sued and lost in a suit over defective transmissions, unfortunately the time frame for filing is over. This was his dream car and he worked so hard to save the money to buy. He explained Mini wanted 6,000.00 for the parts alone. I wouldn’t buy a Mini for any reason now.
Thanks Joe!

I’m driving a new Jeep after Joe fixed the problem of 4 bad U joints. I didn’t realize how bad it was until Joe did such a wonderful job, I will refer them for expert and great work to others. So nice to find a shop like Arnold’s. Good work, and fair all the way around.

What an incredible experience:
My car all of a sudden died on me. Dealership quoted me $ 6,400 and Joe was able to do all the work and parts for just under $ 5,400. When you go to put that amount of money into a vehicle it can be scary and stressful, I was so thankful to have Joe and his shop to make this process as easy as possible. I would highly recommend this shop !!!

The local Cadillac dealership had my car for nearly two weeks just to diagnose the issues in my car, and they wanted over $ 7,000 to put a new transmission and engine mounts on my ’05 CTS. Arnold’s told me that with the engine mount fixed the issue would be resolved. They replaced a few parts and it only cost me $ 700.00 to get fixed instead, and it only took two and a half days from drop off to complete. I highly suggest them.

Joe is awesome. After 5 shops, YES FIVE including the dealership, misdiagnosed my 4runner and after spending $ 590.00 and nothing fixed I went to Arnolds Transmission & Gear for a 6^th try at diagnosing the problem.
Joes diagnosed the problem in a couple minutes, told me exactly what to do and didn’t charge me a dime.
I was able it fix it myself with Joe’s help.
This is my new go to shop!

What an experience, and thank heavens for Unilocal.
I called Arnold’s in a panic this morning. While preparing to leave town on a road trip, I noticed that the gear shift on my manual transmission Saleen Mustang was very wobbly. Fearing I’d have to cancel or postpone a much needed vacation — or wind up on the side of the road in BFE somewhere — I took the plunge and called Arnold’s and one other place. Joe called me back immediately and encouraged me to bring the car in. A few hours later the car was fixed, it wasn’t a major repair and Joe didn’t charge for what he did! And what did he do? He saved my vacation, that’s what he did.
I felt good about Joe, his employees and the place in general right away. I also had the opportunity to hang around for 20 minutes while I waited for my ride. What I witnessed is a man who is honest, straightforward, helpful and very, VERY knowledgeable. Happily, he does more than tranny work so I will be back soon. This, BTW, is the cleanest darn repair shop I’ve ever been in (and I’ve been in some pretty snooty repair places!).
Oh, and the second place I called? Also very highly rated on Unilocal.And they recommended I take the car to Joe at Arnold’s. That says a lot.
Thank you, Joe and crew. I hope you don’t see a blue Saleen Mustang in your lot often, but do rest assured it will be there whenever I need good work, from a good man, at a fair price.

I have been driving almost 9 years now, and have dealt with many mechanics in several states as well as Germany. Joe is probably one of the best ones I have had work on my car. Reasonable prices, no bs, honest, and even worked around my work schedule so I was able to pick up the car ASAP. I live in Aurora, and driving through I-​70 traffic is always worth giving this great shop my business.

I called Joe on a Monday morning for a complete transmission repair. He got me in Tuesday morning and was finished by Friday morning. The Jeep runs great & I feel the price was fair. He even drove me to the light rail after dropping off my car so I could get to work easily! Awesome.

Got my tranny repaired at a very fair price and the truck runs great. He even got me new tires for a great price too! These are great guys!

Took the car in and as promised it was completed in just two days… Joe explained exactly what happened with the clutch and why it broke, gave my son a lesson on how to drive the clutch and showed him what happened to it. Very professional and kind. I will take any car there if they can fix it and will recommend to anyone! Thank you Joe and Arnolds!!! One of the good guys for sure!

I had an oil change and was told that my transmission and oil were leaking. Brought my car over here to be checked out and was pleasantly surprised when I was told that my transmission was fine. They did say that the car was leaking oil but it was very minimal and I could wait to get it repaired. The other place where I got my oil change was most probably trying to take advantage of me. Great place Arnolds’s for being honest about it.

Fantastic experience. We were visiting the Denver area from out of state when our transmission stopped working. That’s when Joe came to the rescue. He got our vehicle off the road and into his shop, diagnosed the problem, located and picked up the parts, made the necessary repairs, and got us back on the road quickly. Thanks a million Joe for taking care of us, we appreciate your prompt, professional, friendly service. And as a side note: I can’t remember ever seeing a cleaner, more organized shop, ever.

If you want quality service and a friendly smile, this is the place. I would trust Patrick with way more than my truck — he’s the real-​deal handshake kind of guy that makes you rest easy. This shop knows what’s up, and they don’t take blind guesses about what may be wrong with your vehicle.

Best tranny (hehe) shop in Denver!
Scenario 1: I dropped my car off at a shop my car dealer recommended after I experienced some problems while driving it. I do not hear from the shop for 2 days so I called. Oh the mechanic had the flu but he will look at it today. I do not hear from the shop for 2 days so I call. Oh um uh the mechanic will call you back. I do not hear from the mechanic for 2 days so I call. No answer. I’m confused and angry. This goes on for 2 weeks until I get a phone call from the mechanic telling me it’s my transmission and its expensive. They repair it, I pick it up, and the problem returns within 3 days.
Scenario 2: I take my car into Arnolds transmission and gear hoping they can fix my transmission once and for all. I receive a phone call within 2 hours of dropping it off and Patrick, the friendliest guy in the world, gives me an update. I get another call from Patrick in 2 hours giving me another update. I feel confident and at ease. At the end of the day I find out what the last shop did was guess and they guessed wrong. My problem was major and expensive. But it was done correctly this time. These guys get 5 stars across the board. The customer service is outstanding and they are experts in their field. They’re not crooks who guess and cost you a fortune yet do not fix the problem.
