Coastline Auto Shop & Transmission

I had my transmission done by Angel. The price was very good and he did a good job. When I had an issue he fixed it right away without question. I would take all my cars there for transmission work.

The guys at Coastline Auto really know their stuff! After 3 different mechanics took a look at my 2001 Honda Accord, I finally made the decision to go with Angel at Coastline. He gave me a great deal on a complete rebuild of my transmission! All of the mechanics I talked to before going to Coastline wanted to put a remanufactured transmission in my Honda; Angel was the only one who accepted the challenge. This guy really knew his stuff and answered all of my questions. Just an honest guy and a hard worker. Angel completed the job in just 2.5 business days. He did a phenomenal job and I would recommend his work to anyone with transmission problems.
As other reviewers noted, the shop is very small and somewhat hidden so I would call ahead and make sure that there is room.

I took my Mazda 3 here to have the transmission looked at. I had the tranny rebuilt 6 months ago by another location and have had to return it to the original location 3 times because of additional problems that reoccur. Though its under warranty I wanted it to be fixed right so I asked one of the coastline guys (Angel?) to look at it. He plugged in a computer then drive it around the block and told me what it might be. He then opened a book showed me what he thought the issue was and gave me a price right out of the book. Despite repeated opportunities during the coarse of our conversation for him to take the car and do work he continued to recommend that I take it to the original place because its covered by the warranty. I asked how much I owed for his time and he did not charge me. I believe this guy is an honest mechanic and I will be taking my cars here in the future.

My ’07 Frontier’s transmission tanked and they gave me the best quote I could find. They did a great job (so far as I can tell), and I’d definitely recommend them over the other local places I found on here.

I had attended a Unilocal Introduction program for businesses just a day earlier when my transmission went south. I had been dissatisfied with my regular repair shop the last few times so I thought I would see what was on Unilocal just for the heck of it. There were several to try but I chose to let Coastline Auto have a shot. I barely could drive my van to the shop, it was quickly diagnosed as a major hose leak but they filled up the tranny, drove it around the block and confirmed it was only the leak which they don’t do but next door is Performance Auto who could, and they did. Due to both shops straightforward diagnosis and repair that I thought was going to possibly be lots incidentals and money turned out to be a no stress fix at what I felt was a fair price.
I would recommend them and would use them again for auto repair.

I came to Coastline because my car started making a heavy thunking sound when shifting from park to drive and from first to second gear, and I was sure this meant there was a transmission issue. Jesse and Angel took a look at the car, test drove it, and scanned the codes for me. After doing so, they showed me the code my car was generating and explained that it was engine-​related, not transmission related. They suggested I take it to my regular mechanic and told me not to let them sell me a new transmission, as that wouldn’t fix the problem. Since I don’t have a regular mechanic in the area yet, I asked if they could recommend someone. They share a space with a shop called Performance Service (owned by Joe Rodriguez), and offered to see if he could look at my car for me. Joe took a look at my car and, after some investigation, said he thought the problem could be fixed relatively simply with an oil change, engine flush and solenoid cleaning (since they were pretty dirty but still in good shape). He was right — my car is running perfectly now. Needless to say, I was thrilled that what I thought was a transmission issue on my relatively new car would be a simple and inexpensive fix! Both Joe at Performance Service and Jesse and Angel at Coastline were very nice to deal with, very honest, and took the time to explain what was going on and what they were doing every step of the way. I couldn’t have had a better experience and I’ll definitely go back next time I need service.

Hardworking guys, who did a great job on my transmission. Small shop, but great customer care. Full transmission rebuild (Lexus RX300), and it runs smooth and sweet! I paid much less than I would have at a number of other shops. I did a ton of research, and some of the specialty shops wanted to charge more than double what these guys did. My car runs great, and I have no complaints.

They know their stuff! Didn’t give up until they got it perfect, not just right, but perfect! If they know they can’t do it, they won’t waste your time nor your money, they’re straight forward… great group of guys, look forward to bringing my business to you in the future!

Seems like a very decent honest place. Had my car there in for service. They couldn’t fix the problem and just told me to take my car. Seemed like honest people. Will have to try them out again if anything else goes wrong.
