Tech. Transmissions

Bob is a straight shooter. I’ve known him for years and the last time I took my car to him he delivered on all of his promises!

The dealership told me that I needed expensive transmission work, so I brought it to Bob at Tech Transmissions. Bob was amazing! He put my car up on the lift, and actually showed me what the silly dealership was talking about. He explained that I didn’t need to have the work done that the dealership was suggesting and actually talked me out of having Bob do the work. (He said it wasn’t needed and would be a costly, unnecessary repair.) He didn’t charge me for the diagnostic or the consult!
It isn’t everyday that you find someone who works on cars that is so helpful and honest. You can be sure that if I ever do need transmission work done, Bob is going to be the FIRST person that I come to and now I have an AWESOME referral for anyone who needs transmission work in Livermore.
THANKS SO MUCH, BOB!

This will be my last update on Tech, Today is Jan 10^th 2015 and I just SOLD THE CAR (yes, it runs) some private buyer drove it and liked it. its been THREE YEARS since being told I need a $ 1,900 rebuild on my Tranny. The Tranny has worked perfectly since taking it to ANOTHER shop for a fix of $ 300. Tech stated that they stand behind their quote! which is such a joke. They just got caught «up pricing» for work that was not needed. Use caution when going because you may be the un lucky one who gets stuck with unnecessary work estimates.

Bob has worked on a few cars for us! Never been pointed in the wrong direction and has always been very professional! Tech Transmission will. always have my work.

This place is great. I originally found it when my check engine light went on in a previous car. Bob read the code and sent me to a mechanic that could fix the problem. They are still my mechanic.
I then purchased a new vehicle that ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt. He read the code that the check engine light was recording and explained to me what was going on. Gave me a quote. When the dealer wouldn’t work with me on the reapirs he took the transmission apart showed me all the bad parts and the new parts he was putting in as well. Worked with me on payment options and also fixed a motor mount. I saw the broken one so it was bad.
My transmission is shifting so smooth now and I’m greatful for someone who was honest after such a horrible car buying experience.
The three year warrenty that came with the transmission was also a great piece of mind.

Customer service is tip top here. I brought my truck in for a diagnostic and Bob was incredibly helpful, thorough and actually identified the problem and sent me to another mechanic to fix the issue since it wasn’t a transmission problem. I thought that was incredibly professional, he didn’t try and sand bag me for unnecessary repairs or talk around/​over me with gear head lingo.

Had my transmission rebuilt at Tech Transmissions, now my Lincoln LS runs better than when it was new. Fast, efficient and friendly.

sorry no stars for these guys. they used to be aamco but the name changed. makes me wonder if aamco dropped them because of complaints. had a tranny rebuilt here. lasted as long as the warranty then died. i work on most other aspects of my truck so i know whats up. owner refused to help me and blamed the problem on the truck and setup. hah, several years later and i’ve had no other problems with my trans. and i put it in myself!!! unless you have a totally stock vehicle don’t go here. even if you have a stock vehicle you’d be better off going somewhere else. be warned!!!

I refer my customers for Transmission work to Tech. Transmission. I know the work is quality and I have trust in their experience and knowledge.
I recently referred a Cougar and Bob took good care of my customer.

About a year ago I had to get my clutch replaced, and not only were they able to fix it within a day, but they also called me a couple weeks later to make sure it was running correctly. Bob at Tech Transmissions was super helpful! When I needed help getting my car to pass smog Bob checked out my car and called different shops in order to get me the best deal on the parts! They’re all seriously awesome.
I’m SO sick of mechanics thinking they can take advantage of me because I’m a female — these guys are a breath of fresh air.

Had my 1988 5.0 Mustang transmission repaired by Bob and Tech Transmissions.
I couldn’t be happier with the result. Bob only replaced the parts that needed
replacing, and I sure appreciate the honesty.
Bob checked my son’s Prelude, diagnostic and road test, at no charge. Bob
said your good for now, come back in 10,000 miles and
he will recheck the Prelude. My son was very impressed, and he is going to bring
all his business back to Tech. Transmissions.

Okay, I didn’t actually get any work done here — but I would have if I could have. I drive a European car, and the check engine light went off after an oil change. I drive by this place on my way to work everyday. Called them and explained my problem — the place where I usually get work done wanted $ 85 dollars just to check the code for why the engine light was on! The guy I talked to on the phone here was more than willing to check my light for free, and I told him that if they could do the work there I’d be happy to have them do it.
Two busy weeks later and I’m finally able to pull into the shop. He remembered our conversation and hooked my car up right away. Let me know that he wasn’t able to do the work for me, but wrote down the diagnostic code and recommended a mechanic in the area that did good work. Super helpful and very kind. From other reviews I’ve read it sounds like they do very good work, and I would recommend them to friends in the future.

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!
I dropped of my fleet car to this location first thing in the morning on a Monday with a copy of fleet car and contact info ofcourse, person who got my info was not friendly at all, I thought he must not be a morning person, he did not ask me any question at all. So I got a rental car. I did not hear from Aamco till thursday, I am thinking they must be dealing with fleet since that is the procedure so I called them to see what is going on. Person on the phone said nothing was wrong with the transmission, car is parked in the lot since Monday and they also said I did not leave any contact info so they did not let me know. How is that? I told them «sure I did» and told them this is not acceptable while car is sitting in the parking 4 days, fleet is paying for rental just because they couldn’t hold on a piece of paper! They told me to pick up the car by 4pm. I left work early, picked up my child, went directly to car rental, returned the car and asked car rental to drop me off to the Aamco, they did. So I was there 3pm and Aamco was closed!!! other person who shares the lot with them said they all left. I couldn’t believe it, they knew I was going to pick up the car. So I am standing there with my tired child with no ride. I had to call Fleet, to re-​reserve the a car, asked rental to pick me up and start waiting under 93 degree sun, it was just a nightmare. This was my first time business with Aamco and I will NEVER go back there again, will tell people not to go, also I am writing up an official complaint to fleet so they never suggest that location to other fleet drivers. Now I have to repeat the same hassle tomorrow, I can’t believe how irresponsible they are. I suggestion Aamco should train franchise owners on professionalsm. I am sure other Aamco owners are outstanding but really one bad apple spoils the bunch.

They read the code on my «Check Engine» light for free, within minutes of my arrival. And they conducted a dynamic analysis (road test) within the hour. After I gave them authorization to work on my transmission, they had it ready for me in a day and a half! They were knowledgeable and technical, but not salesmen.
Great service — Great job!

I went in to have my minivans transmission serviced today and I was amazed on how friendly and knowledgeable the employees were. Great service that comes with a great price that beat my car dealers quote. Will come again and highly recommended!

HIGHLY recommend this place! The owner is an honest business person. I was having transmission problems, took my Jeep to Livermore Auto Group who’s cost to fix the transmission was in the $ 3,000 range. Went to AAMCO for another opinion… it ended up being a sensor and the total cost was around $ 169.00.
