Wizard Transmission

I have a 05 Silverado and while we were out on a ranch near Greely, my transmission decided to blow. Wouldn’t engage in 3^rd or 4^th gear. I was able to manually shift into 3^rd and drove it back to Denver. I spent the better half of a day searching for a reputable, honest, and fair trans shop and I’m so glad that I landed on Wizard. Adam (awesome guy) informed me that my input sprags were shot and that they’d need to do a rebuild. He gave me a fair quote and told me it’d be done in a few days. When he called to say the truck was ready, he informed me that they decided to beef it up a little while they had it pulled. He had overshot his original estimate but gave me a discount to honor the original quote. Unheard of. I called him back a handful of times to ask even more questions and each time he meticulously went through every detail to make sure we were on the same page. They also take pride in the work they do and will do a complimentary check on your transmission each year — even after the 3 year warranty. This place is top notch and I highly recommend it. Thanks guys, she runs like a dream again. Ya’ll are awesome!

In regards to my post that I wrote prior I understand that you mentioned that the transmission I would get replaced would be USED as you said but what I don’t understand is why YOU suggested that I go to the USED parts dealer in the first place. My car still has issues and now I cant pass the emission test because the check engine light on my car wont go off. I don’t know you expect people to know about transmissions, but when I’m looking for solutions and I get ripped on because I trusted my repair man is just RIDICULOUS. You did speak with my boyfriend and YOU were completely rude! I don’t understand how you could even try to pretend that you were professional in any degree. People should know that if YOU suggest to get a used part from a vendor you work with that if it doesn’t work they can openly come back and not have nasty conversations. I hope people look into going to a more professional environment and save the HEADACHE!!! This has been the worst experience EVER!!!

Adam did a great Job on my C4 Transmission. Cost was around 1000 bucks. Worth every penny. Thanks Adam !!

I just can’t express how great this company is! Adam was fantastic and his techs are the best in the business. My 2009 GMC sierra z71 was having transmission issues so I called around to quite a few shops and even took it to the dealer to figure out the problem. The dealer charged me $ 100 diagnosis fee and told me it’s most likely the turbine speed sensor but they never hooked up any equipment to test it so who knows. I called Adam a few times to talk about the issues I was having and he offered to double check it for free. He was able to get my truck in fast and look at it which is great because it’s my only vehicle and when it goes down so does my business. Adam called later that day just like he said he would and told me that it was in fact the turbine speed sensor but also that there was alot if clutch material in the fluid (I pull a big trailer 70% of the time). We talked about what I use the truck for and he recommended a rebuild to suit my application. I told Adam let’s go ahead and build a transmission that will last longer than the truck and he told me it would take 4 days well on day three Adam called me to tell me my truck was done and he was sending his driver to come get me (I live 30 miles away) when I got in my truck I could notice the difference in how firm it shifted and just a general improvement in the feel of the transmission. I am beyond pleased with the work they did and will take every vehicle I ever own back to him. The customer service was beyond exceptional the quality was of the highest standard and the price was great for what I got. I never leave reviews for anything ever but I felt compelled to leave this review because of the great job they did. If you need transmission work done take it to Adam you won’t be sorry.

Just came back from my two-​year transmission warranty check, and am still blown away by the service and follow-​through offered by everyone at Wizard Transmission! They honor their warranties without any run around or hassle, even though I was over 2 months late getting my service scheduled!
They truly care about each and every one of their customers, knowing most of them by name and car even though we only see them once a year, and I love that their main concern is that their customers are driving safe vehicles and they will do anything to make sure that happens!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the ones I’ve had at Wizard!

I can’t stress enough to shop around! They will gouge you on prices. Not only is this the case but they would not honor their warranty after there was major malfunction related to the work they did. The warranty on my receipt did not match the 3 year 36k warranty they told me prior to completing the work, had to repeatedly call to get that corrected, too bad they still would not honor it when their work failed! Claimed «it was not associated with transmission rebuild they did». It would be one thing if the prices were related to the results but unfortunately that is not the case.

The service at Wizard Transmission is great! So great that I wanted to add a review on Unilocal as well as Google +. I copied and pasted due to laziness but don’t worry I am a real customer!
I just moved to Denver and had no idea where to go when a diagnostic test showed that my transmission needed to be checked. After reading reviews I chose Wizard Transmissions and am so glad I did. Not only did they ferry me from the shop to my place and back again but they checked out my car a few days later when I heard a bump, just for good measure. The problem ended up being minor but I have found my go-​to for transmissions from now on. Everyone at Wizard is extremely friendly and helpful and most importantly trustworthy/​honest. My advice would be to call as soon as possible if you are having transmission troubles because they are a busy, popular shop!

Unfortunately I have had to use there services on two cars this year. I am quite happy to say they do honest work at a reasonable price. My car was slipping out of gear last week. I was ready for the worst. They found a cheap part that was broke and fixed it for free! Who does that?! Highly recommend them.

Took my 2003 Toyota Corolla S (5 Speed) to Adam to get it looked at. It was on its original clutch (15 6800k miles).
The transmission was making a noise while pressing on the gas, but the noise would go away when I pressed in the clutch or released my foot off the gas. Adam put it on the lift and you could hear the transmission making a noise probably 25 feet away.
Adam stated it needed a bearing. His quote was less then everyone else and his warranty was by far superior to other shops and dealers.
I Have always lived by the rule, «DON’T GO WITH THE HIGHEST OR LOWEST PRICE, GO WITH WHO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH»
I took my car to Adam and he fixed it quickly. He replaced all the bearings, seals, synchros, resurfaced the flywheel, and replaced the clutch.
VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE, PRICE, WARRANTY AND HONESTY!

They are as good as everyone says, happy to report!

I have a ’98 Honda Civic that has been making a lot of noise for a while. I had bought the car like that and thought it was completely normal until one day the car made whirring noises in every gear and was getting more and more difficult to shift into gears. (5 speed manual transmission). I took my car to Adam for the free diagnostics and he said that I’ll need to rebuild the transmission with new bearings, synchros, seals, etc. I decided to take my car back about a month later until the noise was unbearable and he had me all fixed up in two days. I dropped it off on Tuesday and was ready by Thursday morning! I paid MUCH less than what the dealer wanted. I also provided a new clutch kit and flywheel and asked him to change my rear main seal while the transmission is out. No problem at all! And he replaced them at no charge! I just had to pay for the parts! How much better can this get? The car is all back together now and it drives like an absolute dream. The warranty is awesome and I will be back every year for the free transmission service. It may be an old car, but it’s MY old car.

Adam at Wizard and his crew did a great job of finding & fixing a problem (which wasn’t really a transmission problem) that the dealer couldn’t.
My 2004 Dodge truck started driving jerky; felt like it was misfiring at times, and downshifting a lot, sometimes felt like it dropped into neutral, check engine light was on. Dealer said «new plugs, clean fuel & air system». $ 400+ later problem went away for a day. Back to the dealer, who said «pulled a code indicating unreasonable temp sensor reading». $ 350 later, it worked for a week. By now I thought all the gear shifting must mean transmission — a litany of transmission problems can cause erratic shifting.
Wizard got good Unilocal reviews, so took it in next day. They ferried me over to Hertz for a cheap daily rental ($ 27), called later to say the transmission is fine; they’d dropped the pan & done all the diagnostics — no problem in the transmission, but the check engine code indicated probable faulty speed sensor even though it tested fine. I had them replace it, and for the grand total of $ 230 (transmission diagnostic + speed sensor replacement) it’s been running perfectly since.
They even ferried my truck over to Hertz so I could drive off in it when I turned in the rental. Perfect same-​day outcome for not much money (as transmission problems go). Good clear communication, and a first-​time fix. Love them!

Woo Hoo is right! I am in the midst of restoring a 1980 Porsche 924, and while pulling her out of the garage last week, the shifter went all «floppy» and I realized that I was stuck in first gear. After having already spent quite a bit of cash under the hood, I dreaded how much more some transmission work would cost. After some diligent research on Unilocal,I found Wizard Transmission — and I am so very glad I did. I had AAA tow my car over (no charge — I have a membership) and by the next day, I received a call that the car was being repaired. Ok, at this point, panic set in as I had not heard a quote… When I asked Adam how much it would be, he said it was only the linkage (which had fallen off) and the repair would be around $ 85! After I awoke from passing out (joke) — I asked him how that could possibly be??? $ 85? I anticipated way, way more. He laughed and explained that they are fair and honest. Guess what… the final cost was actually a bit less! Holy smokes! Fair, honest and great work too. I picked her up and my Porsche drives like a champ. If you EVER need any transmission type of work, there is no reason to look around. Go to Wizard!!! Adam and team — THANK YOU!!!

Great local family shop. Honest, fast and upfront.
When the transmission in my Jetta went out the dealership said $ 5,500 + and smaller shops don’t have the right equipment to look at VWs. Wizard had it apart and fixed in two days, for $ 1200. Kept me informed throughout the process and even helped me get my car home. I hope I never have to use them again but if I do have a transmission issue I would not go anywhere else.

This is a great transmission repair shop. The owner is very nice and helpful. They corrected a problem I had with another shop. Even though the shop is over 30 miles from my house, I’m happy I dealt with them. I would suggest that you at least talk and/​or let them look at your problem before deciding on who does your transmission repair.

When the clutch on my Subaru slipped, I panicked, because I know nothing about cars, and knew if I closed my eyes and picked a place to take it, I would probably get ripped off big time. GAH. Luckily, a friend of mine who builds cars recommended Wizard Transmissions, and guaranteed that I would not be ripped off.
I was not disappointed! Adam, the owner, is easily the most honest and reliable mechanic I have ever taken my car too. He split the cost of the tow with me (!!!), he gave me a very fair rate on the clutch, and even rushed the repair when I told him I needed it by the weekend. Before I knew it, I had a brand new clutch, and it was perfect. The warranty covers the clutch for two years, and Adam offered to do a free check up on it after a few hundred miles.
They even dropped me off at my house after I left my car with them, and offered to pick me up to get it when it was ready. Amazing.
I hope I never have to take my car to a transmission shop again, but if I do, I will definitely be going back to Wizard.
*My Heros!*

Wow. I got lucky. I took my car to my trusted shop after my transmission decided to take a big fart on me. Nothing like having to drive to Denver from Keystone with only two gears… Talk about pucker factor. Anyhow, my shop gave a decent quote but they didn’t do transmissions themselves and becuase of that, thought I’d shop around.
Adam at Wizard transmission gave me a ballpark on the phone that was a great rate. I didn’t find much on the web with them but they have an A with the BBB so I crossed my fingers and prayed. First — they were very polite. They offer a 3yr/36,000 mile warrenty on their work that is included in their quote (remember the low one right?). OK, now I figured I was in a pretty good spot. I took it in, they ripped it apart a bit and called with a final quote. It was a couple of hundred bucks higher than the first but he offered a range and said he’d try to come in low but that the price wouldn’t exceed the max. Thats good too I’m a thinkin’.
So here is where the rubber met the road. They fixed it. I picked it up and on the way home, it wasn’t working rioght. I turned around and dropped it off again. They ripped it apart TWICE, replaced multiple parts, spend tons of labor until they got it fixed and then DROPPED IT OFF AT MY HOUSE without me asking to save me the drive since I went to pick up a broken car — I didn’t even ask. And the real gold? They didn’t even try to charge me more. They were increadibly apologetic it took so long and that it didn’t work the first time. Im sure this could have cost me another $ 1,000.
I don’t know what else to say — I’m blown away by how it played out. Best single difficult business I’ve experienced in quite some time.
The only thing I would say is that he wasn’t terribly proactive about status calls but I can live with that given all else. Thank you guys!!!
