Boston Transmission

Joe and his crew do a great job! He went through my transmission and now my broke driveshaft. He is very fair with prices and does more than a through job. I have no problem sending friends and family here knowing they will be well taken care of.

So happy I came here. There honest, they fix the root of the problem and there customer service is 5 stars ! I recommended this place. They explain everything step by step so you know exactly what they will be doing to ur car. Extremely pleased with there service.

It is a privilege to write my very first positive review for Joe, the owner and operator of Boston Transmission. His work ethic, professionalism, and expertise speaks volumes about his business. I was very reluctant to find a shop that I was willing to let work on my 2004 Mazda RX8 since I like to try to work on everything myself as much as I possibly can, however clutch work was something I didn’t have the time, patience, or tools to work on, so I searched the web and ran into Prime Buyers Report of the top 10 transmission shops in the Los Angeles county. I was lucky enough to find that one of those shops (Boston Transmission) happened to be really close to me. So, after doing a quick search on Unilocal and reading the great reviews, I decided to take a chance, and I would not regret it. To make a long story short. I’m very impressed with how honest and thorough Joe was, there was a problem with one of my parts and instead of easily hiding it and charging me full price to make extra cash, he brought it to my attention and found a way to save me money, and I’m thankful for that. In a very competitive market where there are many options to choose from, it’s customer service like this that will continue to make this shop stand out above the rest. Most importantly, I am very appreciative and definitely satisfied with the quality of work that comes from this establishment. Thank you Joe, and to your mechanics as well. You have earned a new customer and this definitely will not be the last time you see me.

I can’t believe I’ve never written a review for this place. My family has been coming here for years and we have never EVER had an issue with poor service ! Joe stands by his work 100% Which was always a plus for me even when I was growing up bringing him my little project cars. He’s honest and reliable but most of all the work is phenomenal. I will not take my cars anywhere else for transmission or drive train work.

Very clean and professional business.
Took our new beetle for transmission work. There was a recall on our transmission and joe was very honest and told us all about the problem. He saved us from having to get a new transmission. Car is running excellent.
Thank you Joe. great work and great price .well done!

Had some issues with shifting into first gear, worried that the problem lie inside the trans because just installed brand new clutch. Took it to Joe and he was incredibly helpful walking me through the issues saying it was most likely the clutch I purchased. Although I didn’t get any work done just his attitude and honesty alone will bring me back, definitely will recommend to friends.

Took my transmission in for a rebuild. One of a few places that will rebuild a 64 Continental Transmission. Quoted me a fair price for taking it apart before he gave me a great price for the total rebuild. Job was done on time. Best of all joe reduced the price after he was done with the rebuild. Explained he was able to get the rebuild parts for a better price than he expected. This was a first for me. I recommend this place highly.

Joe did an outstanding job of guiding me from getting a fairly good refund from my warranty from another shop and applying it to a new one at his. My car runs great. No problems.

This is a late review but well deserved. Last 2 weeks of august the transmission on my Isuzu Axiom gave out. After numerous calls to different shops and different quotes and hours of google and Unilocal searches. I found Boston Trans, a shop i should have called first. After giving them a call and speaking with Joe. The phone call alone drew me to the shop, Joe was knowledgeable and was able to sort of pin point my issue, he did ask me to take it in for a better inspection as over the phone isnt the best form of diagnosis. I took the car in to the shop, and first thing i noticed was the shop was clean, well organized, and they didnt park customers cars on the curb, which was a major decision for me. Joe drove my car around the block and diagnosed the car as he went. Come to find out the car slips 1 and 2 gear and no 3^rd or overdrive. Joe explained the issues in great detail and gave me information the other shops i visited neglected to tell me. all my questions were answered and thats when i knew this was the shop for me. The repair took a week, in which Joe told me if it takes any longer than that he would provide me a rental car. i mean come on what other shops out there will do that for you. The car was repaired on time, the quoted price was my final price, no hidden fees no extra charges for parts, he even scheduled a follow up check up for the car. Im glad i talked to Joe and im glad i listened to my gut. Thank you Joe for the great service

I had called to get a quote for my truck and had the pleasure of speaking to Joe the owner. From the moment we began discussing what was going on with my truck I knew immediately he knew what he was talking about. He made me feel at ease and listened while I explained and never rushed me while I explained to him what happened. Joe was very knowledgeable, thorough and patient. I asked a lot of questions. After our initial conversation I felt that my truck was in the right hands and at the right shop. I had my truck towed to his shop on Saturday and he diagnosed it and called me to let me know it was apparent that the problem was not electrical and was mechanical and the next step was to drop the transmission in order to see what was the cause of the failure. They dropped the transmission on monday and Joe called me Monday evening to let me know his findings. Again Joe was super polite and professional and gave me his recommendations and told me he would call me the next day to discuss my options on how to proceed in fixing my truck. The next morning Joe called me and gave me a break down on my options and the costs involved. Prior to calling Joe I had gotten several estimates. I went with his recommendation and he got the ball rolling to get my truck back up and running. My truck was ready in 1.5 day. I picked up my truck on Saturday and had the pleasure of dealing with Jesse, Joe’s brother very polite, professional and knowledgable. Joe and his staff went beyond the call of duty. I had a very annoying exhaust rattle that I could not find and fix and they went out of there way to find it and fix it. You cannot put a price on customer service and Joe and his shop have earned my future business and i will make sure to recommend people to this shop.

You see a doctor for your body, and see a specialist for those stubborn, difficult to treat issues. This is a top auto body shop/​transmission shop for your car. This place is the specialist you want to go to, even if you’re annoyed or pissed that your car is malfunctioning.
I came in disappointed because my car was acting up and I missed an appointment because of this issue. Joe the guy at the counter was attempting to engage me in conversation as my mind was flying everywhere.
After a few minutes he explained the procedure to me and we drove my car on the road. He made conversation with my grumpy self and explained to me what he believed was wrong with my car. His eased my concerns a bit and he even referred me to a specialist for a separate car issue I was having. His demeanor isn’t overwhelming; he is very kind and patient, striving to help customers.

Joe is the person to go see! My mom found this place a few years ago and we have always gone back since then. Every time I have a problem with my car I always go and take it to Joe, he drives it around the block to get an idea of the problem and he always has it fixed. Boston Transmission is the only place my family and I will take our cars because Joe and his employees are so great at what they do and they are really honest people. I high recommend this place to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic that has a lot of knowledge on cars.

Honest, friendly, helpful and very professional. Joe the owner is a class act! I called and got a quote for a transmission fluid and filter service on my 3 series BMW. Joe said to bring the car in and he would have the car ready in three to four hours. Guess what? I dropped off the car and the car was ready in 4 hours and I was charged EXACTLY as quoted. Joe also provided a general undercar inspection free of charge. It doesn’t get any better than this. The shop is spotless and well organized and I can tell that Joe loves what he does and takes pride in all his work. Joe has earned my business and I will definitely recommend Boston Transmission to all of my friends and family.

This is a late review but none the less well deserved. Took my 1965 Cadillac for transmission service which I just don’t take to anybody. He checked it out and said all it needed was a reseal and oil service. Unlike the other place I went to that wanted to rebuild the transmission. He noticed my transmission mount was worn out and found one which is really rare for this year but was really expensive. He told me if I could find it cheaper to get it and he’ll put it in. Real customer service like it should be. All in all great work, clean shop and great customer service. Oh did I forget to mention that it’s be over a year since the service an all works great.
Would definitely recommend and return to Boston Transmission.

Joe by far was beyond helpful. I told him the issues I was having with my car. He then drove it around, diagnosed it and explained my options. Completely professional, honest and helpful.
He said the issue with my car wasn’t his expertise and referred me to a specialist in that area. Joe also requested a follow up on the status of my vehicle after the repair.

Dropped of my truck with Joe. can’t say enough good things about the guys at Boston Transmission.

Best service that I’ve ever had. Stuck my car and someone recommended this place. Joe (owner) and Maria (his wife) are very honest, friendly, and trustworthy. Diagnose problems are accurate and quick. It is very hard to find good repair shop, but I found it! I will refer this place to my friends.

Just moved into the neighborhood and felt my car wasn’t running properly. I took it into Joe and he personally drove the car, diagnosed it and was really helpful and honest. He told me there was nothing wrong with my car and that the transmission was running good. Best of all he did not charge me a dime for his diagnosis and time. I decided to return and have my transmission flushed to ensure a little more performance for the car. Joe is courteous and professional as well as going on a first name basis with all his customers.

Fair, honest & forthcoming with advice. Hard to find in today’s market. I’m glad I came to Unilocal before walking in to other shops. This is now my new go to shop!

I found Boston Transmission through Unilocal and saw the great ratings! Took my truck in and was hoping it wasn’t going to be too serious; however, at the back of my head I had a feeling it was going to be a transmission problem. I had Joe take a look at it. At first he didn’t recognize the problem so he let my truck run for awhile for the engine to get warm. Once it did, He took it out for a drive and sure enough the problem became evident! I think going the extra mile literally on this case helped isolate the issue exactly. I was not able to pick up my truck that same day, but he locked it up over the weekend! I came back Monday to pick up my truck and he didn’t charge for a diagnostic test. He said he didn’t really do much to determine it was a transmission problem. Joe is very nice and very honest!
Definitely recommend this shop for anyone new!
