The Trans Shoppe

I brought my 2001 Honda Civic to this mechanic because they specialized in transmissions and mine was blown. They took about a week to fix, which I was OK with, and they said they’d stand by their work for a year and then some, and to bring the car in after a week to make sure things were running smoothly. My car had to go back three times because it was leaking transmission fluid. Every time I got it back, it was fine for a day, and then I had to bring it back. The leaks stained my drive way and I had spent over $ 2,000 for a repair that took nearly a month to really be properly fixed. The owner got aggravated with me because I didn’t understand how it takes 4 tries to get something that you specialize in right. He said he was just frustrated that it wasn’t fixed, but his problem turned into mine. They ended up fixing it in the end, but the aggravation and loss of my car for so many weeks, plus their attitude, made me not want to return.
While my car was there, I also got an oil change which they charged $ 40 for. I thought that was a little expensive for a basic oil change (I didn’t know the cost prior, I thought maybe $ 20 — $ 30). They didn’t do anything special, it was just a standard oil change.
I don’t plan on returning, unless something happens to my trans again that they’re responsible for.
