Gene’s Transmissions and Muffler

I took my car to Gene’s Transmission and Muffler to have my transmission checked out. During a strong acceleration the car would bog down and seemed to shift hard and going up steep grades I smelled a burning-​like odor. I thought my tranny was going out or at least needed adjustments. So after Greg (He’s the current owner) checked it out he called me to say that my tranny was just fine, no problems what so ever but he did find that one of my motor mounts was defective and needed replacing. He said that if I wanted it done today he had the part I needed as he had just ordered that exact part for another car that was coming in next Tuesday and that he could order another one for them. So he told me the price of the part and that «the book» said it would take 3.5 hours of labor and quoted me that price but he said he thought that seemed inflated and he may be able to do it in a shorter amount of time but that there were no promises. I told him to go ahead with the repairs. Later that afternoon he called to say it was done and that he had completed the repair in less time and my total was nearly $ 200 less than the original estimate.
As far as the burning odor he said he saw a very small bit of oil which could have caused the odor when the engine was hot but it was nothing to worry about and told me to keep an eye on the garage floor for oil drips and if I did see any have it checked out.
I was so happy with his honesty, great service and friendly manner that he has earned my future business for all routine tranny services.
As I drove home I tried some fast accelerations and no more problems. Who would have guessed that a broken motor mount would act like that.
If you need transmission work done Gene’s is the place to go.
By the was the address listed about is not correct, it’s:
1130 E Monte Vista Ave, Vacaville, CA 95 688
Phone:(707) 447‑2630

This place is not the easiest to find but they do have a large sign out front, it just blends in with all the other business.
There is not a lot of parking but I have never not found parking.
The staff is very helpful and courteous.
