Vanvo Transmissions

When the transmission went out in my late model suv my first thought was that it was going to be expensive. I called several transmission shops and I was quoted anywhere from 2800 to 4800 to rebuild the transmission. I was able to find a used transmission from a local wrecking yard with warranty for a much lower price. When I called around I was able to find a shop to put the transmission in for 1200. Everything was all of a sudden looking a lot more reasonable so I called AAA and asked them to deliver the car to my local shop. When the tow truck arrived to load the car he asked me where I was taking the car and then asked how much I was going to be charged. He explained to me that he knew of a shop that would be able to do the work at a much cheaper price, he called the shop for me and got a much better quote, after talked to the shop myself I decided to give vvanvo a shot. After this I was feeling nervous, I had called around and made what I felt was the best educated decision that I could and then at the last second I decided to take a gamble on this tow truck drivers «guy». When I brought the used transmission to the shop I didn’t know what to expect, the owner was on site and seemed like a very nice guy, he was very personable and put my mind at ease right away. After talking with him for a few minutes I was a lot more confident that I had made the right decision in bringing my car here.
After dropping off the transmission I thought that I would be given the typical mechanic experience, you know… He tells you it will be a week and it turns into three weeks type of thing. Now I dropped off the transmission right before the shop closed… He calls me at 130 the next day to let me know that it was done.
When I showed up to pick up the car the owner was again very nice and assured me that the transmission was good, thoroughly explained everything that he had done to the car and what to expect in the future. He made no attempt at any kind of an up sell and he gave me good advice on how to make my transmission last for a long time.
Honestly this experience makes me wish that I had another car with a bad transmission, it is refreshing to deal with a shop that genuinely does care about customer experience and a shop owner that is very happy to deliver for his customers.

I tried to use my warranty 11 days after the installation of my transmission because I could tell immediately that the repair had not quite taken, the trans was still jumpy and leaking.
He told me that was normal after a new repair and that he would not let me use the warranty — 14,000 miles later, the transmission is totally burned out and two mechanics as well as an insurance adjuster have stated that it is due to a faulty transmission installation (missing, faulty, and improperly installed parts)
I’m now out of warranty with him and he will do nothing — He even dared me to call a Lawyer — hmmm… I will. One thing is for sure, myself and anyone I know will never do business there again.
