Grant & Dan’s Transmission Service

Been there twice in the past year. Steve gives you honest advise and great service. Hardworking guys that you can count on. Great to have a small business in your neighborhood that you can count on.

I have never known an automotive shop to be so trustworthy. Grant and Steve really know how to take care of customers. You will definitely enjoy bringing your vehicle to this shop. What a fun experience.

Went there with my wallet open to get the transmission in my toy truck looked at. Was ready to spend on a rebuild if it needed it. They gave it a test drive and told me it was fine and didn’t need anything done. Nice to know there are honest people still in business. I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to give them my business. Hard to find people to work on your car you can trust. When I do decide to rebuild that tranny, I will be taking it to them for sure.

My son bought a car and planned to do the work himself. Long story later his car ended up at Grant and Dan’s Transmission shop. These guys are FRIENDLY, HONEST, HELPFUL, AND FAIR! They went above and beyond to help my son out! I absolutely recommend them to all my family and friends! Thanks so much guys!

Just getting around to writing a review for this shop: had work done a couple years ago but still wanted to take the time and give these guys their just do. I purchased an older corvette and within the first few days i started having transmission problems: fortunately my wife convinced me to buy an extended warranty offered by the dealership. My mechanic referred me to Grant & Dan’s shop, he said they were the best in the area. He was right. They rebuilt the transmission in a couple days and worked with the very reluctant insurance company to pay the bill. Customer service was fantastic. Would recommend this shop to anyone.

Hi People.
I have had work done here a few times now. They know what they’re doing and have always been more than fair on what they charged me. I recommend them to my friends.

My wife brought in our expedition today. It had a linkage problem. Steve told her wait a few minutes. He got under it and fixed the problem, and got her on her way. Didn’t change her, and refused a tip. Thanks guys!

Top notch service!
When my 1940 Buick wouldn’t stay in 2^nd gear, I took it straight to Grant because he’s an old car nut like me.
He found the motor mounts were bad, and second gear was shot as well.
Not only was he able to find the right parts, he cut the flywheel to custom fit a modern full diaphragm clutch to replace the old-​school three fingered clutch.
No more first gear clutch-​chatter at takeoff!
Three in the tree isn’t so annoying anymore.
Thanks Grant, you rock!

Wow! This place is excellent.
I have a high horsepower car (a 55 Chevy with572/​650hp) that had an automatic transmission leak (700R4).
I call Grant and Dan’s and Grant helped me over the phone with a few possibilities. Well the leak continued so I dropped the car with them to figure it out. While driving home with truck and trailer (45 minutes later) Grant called me and said they fixed it! Wow that fast?
When I returned to e shop he explained the issue. Then he said No Charge! What business do you know that really wants to help someone and then charge nothing? They have me for good!
Thanks Grant and Steve!
George.

You can see by all the Five Star reviews, Grant and Dan’s Transmission Service does not require another great report, but felt I had to add my two cents. I have a 99 GMC Safari I purchased new. It seems like forever it shifted hard from 1^st to 2^nd. I have had a couple of different mechanics look at it. One even replaced the valve body with a rebuilt. Still the annoying problem persisted. I came to G and D’s and met with Steve. What a great friendly guy. After inspecting, he told me there was a broken spring in the accumulator in the valve body and the car was ready. When I picked it up Steve said, how does 240 or so dollars sound. What a bargin. I drove the car away and it hasn’t perfomed as well since the day I bought it. What other mechanics were unable to diagnose, Steve did. I am very satisifed and like all others posting, highly recommend Grant and Dan’s Transmissin Service in Fremont, CA.

Let me start with, we took our Chrysler 300 here about a year ago to get the fluid checked. You need a special tool to even check the fluid. They didn’t have one and ordered one just to check it out. *probably about a 200.00 tool* anyway, they checked our fluid and said we were fine and then said «No Charge». Who does that in this century? No one that I know of. They are most definitely a TOP KNOTCH SHOP.
Recently we had to bring our daughters car here and have had one heck of a time figuring out what is going on but AGAIN, they were the bomb, though they referred us to the Toyota Dealership (which we chose Fremont * A HUGE MISTAKE*) the dealership treated us horrible and told us it was way more than what had been diagnosed by Grant and Dans and we were left with our car still not working. They told my daughter to bring it back in and they would fix it. I can NOT say enough about this place. Love these guys, love this shop. ANYONE LOOKING FOR A TRANSMISSION PLACE NEEDS TO GO HERE.
Thanks Grant and Steve for all of your help on this pain in the butt Toyota.

Let me just get straight to the point… Grant is the man! After spending lots of time and money at the local Chevy dealership, Grant was the only person who correctly diagnosed my car and actually fixed it. He even got a second opinion from a fellow mechanic to make sure he could take care of me. He quoted me a reasonable price and delivered on his promise. He has saved me at least over a thousand dollars compared to the so-​called «experts» at Fremont Chevrolet. Grant is my new mechanic. He’s a straight shooter who tells it how it is and is HONEST.

They did a great job of swapping out transmissions in my ’54 Hudson Hornet. The job was all the more complicated by the fact that the Hudson «single-​arm» three-​speed manual was never meant to go in that car, and that much of the linkage etc. had been fabricated by others. Grant also reccommended the use of GM Synchromesh as a lubricant and the car has never shifted better. Charges were very reasonable and they got it right the first time. I have seen everything in their shop from ’40’s cars to late model Corvettes, and the only problem seems to be availability of shop time, a good problem to have…

When I needed transmission work and asked for recommendations I received 6 recommendations for this place. My husband talked to them, found out it was most likely a simple fix. We were able to take it in a week later and they fixed it within a few hours and ended up charging me less then the original estimate. When does that ever happen? I will definitely recommend them to anyone who asks.

Had a transmission problem on my 2001 Saturn. Grant road tested said it needed a valve body and would be fine. Did the job, works great, fast turn around, friendly and knowledgeable. Other people wanted want to change the transmission with only 59 000 miles. Thanks!!!

I have gone in a few times for tranny and rear end services. The staff was always so helpful and very very knowledagble. I trust them will all of my vehicles.

The fine folks of Fremont, Newark, and Union City are some lucky people! They live hear this shop that knows their stuff concerning domestic drivetrains. I recently replaced a rear axle and experienced some «sounds». It turned out that my sounds were not the new axle (that I feared) but the transmission mounts. After correctly diagnosing my problem, they fixed it, serviced my axle, AND transmission for under 300 bucks.
In talking with the the folks there, I find them knowledgeable about the cars and humorous in disposition. See if they can tell you what states border the state of Georgia. :)
5 stars. Wish I lived closer.

I had a new transmission installed by these guys a while back. They did a great job. The transmission they put in was not stock for my truck so a little customization work was needed, No Problem for these guys. They work fast and are able to answer any questions you may have about mysterious transmissions. After about 8 months a part on my drive shaft rattled loose and caused a small leak. No biggie, my truck is 38 years old. The transmission had a warranty for a year and when I took it in to them, they fixed it in less than an afternoon. No hidden charges or anything, just hand over the keys and wait for the call. Need transmission work? This is your place, quick honest quality work.
