A1 Transmission

Okay so first off, I went there with the coupon from the local advertisements that come out each week… A transmission check for $ 70… I knew there was something wrong with my transmission, that’s why I took it there.
So the guys came to me and said oh well we can fix this for $ 650 it’s Sunbelt there’s something that needs to be put in or replaced or something… I’m not sure why not the transmission specialist they claim to be.
So they took it apart and test drove it and gave it to me and told me it was fixed and I drove down the road same thing same problem I said okay may I have my money back since he didn’t fix the problem and they refused.
But see they already charged me before give me the car back of course and now refuse to give me the money back so I had to go to the Better Business Bureau who wanted a letter from me explaining what happened and after I wrote them a letter they refused to do anything take any kind of action or whatever they do which is nothing as far as I can tell and they are in bed with the businesses so don’t bother trying to get your money back from this place don’t bother bringing your car there unless you want to give him $ 650 and have them never give your money back
He did however say that they would charge me just about 22 $ 2,300 for a new transmission which would include the $ 650 that they already charged me but didn’t want to be fun to me if I can give it less than 1 star I would

they replaced clutch kit in my 1967 international pick up. the new clutch caused the hydrolic componants to clutch to leak fluid a1 found new componants for me and installed them for a really reasonable price they did an excelant job.

These guys rebuilt my transmission for less than half of other estimates. Great service & support! So exceptional to have honest mechanics! Andy is the BEST!

Thank you so very much for the excellent care you took to repair my motor mounts and changing the transmission fluids and filter. I will be a returning customer :)

I’m a car guy. Not a shade tree mechanic, or, if I am, I have most of the tools and know how to get most jobs done. I’ve rebuilt engines, exchanged transmissions and replaced clutches. But, life has gotten a bit too hectic for me to take the time out to replace a clutch in my 4X truck. In other words, I don’t trust mechanics!
My dad came to A1 for service for his Olds and was pleased with the service. I figured that I would try them based on his experience.
Bill, the gentleman who had assisted me, greeted me nicely as soon as I walked in.
He asked how he could help and I told him that my truck needs a new clutch and possibly new syncs since it’s 212K miles old and it’s the original clutch.
He asked for the keys and told me to contact him in a couple of hours. He contacted me and told me that the clutch did need changing. I knew that since the release bearing was making noise.
I told him, via phone, to go ahead and change out the clutch. He said it would be finished by Tuesday. I left it with him on Saturday and they close at noon, closed on Sunday too.
I got a call from Bill on Monday at 5:03 PM. My truck was done. He told me that he did not think that the syncs needed replacing. He felt that they were just varnished.
To combat that, he mixed ATF and gear oil for the transmission.
I test drove the truck and it performed nicely. In about a month, Bill stated that A1 will change out that mixed gear oil in favor of 100% gear oil, gratis.
The cost of the labor and the clutch together was $ 1,000. But, it’s worth it.

Bottom Line
Considering that I don’t trust mechanics, I trust A1. I wasn’t taken for a ride, the work was done fast, I was treated with respect and I didn’t feel like I do when I go to a car dealership.
I recommend this place and will be more than satisfied to do business with them.
It’s not the cheapest place in town, but you get what you pay for.

While on vacation I had vehicle problems and was told to go to Andy’s shop. I was told he couldn’t even look at my vehicle for 5 days.

Great transmission shop. I will provide 5-​stars due to the honestly from the place. I have a dodge with many issues they have helped and overcome the issues with not spending the «shinest» penny I own. Prices are great, communication is high. Will be back for more work from this place.

The clutch is going out in my little car. I shopped several companies for the most affordable and reputable in town. Most quotes came in between $ 800-​$ 1200. I know nothing about cars but wanted to purchase my own parts. Rich drove my car told me what I needed. I purchased my parts and it is being installed for right around $ 425.00. I do not have the words to describe the kindness and stellar level of customer service I received. I wish I could give them more than a Unilocal review. I guess the way they treat their customers is one of the reasons they have been around for so long. I know I will never go anywhere else for clutch and transmissions.

I had a problem with my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 truck where it wouldn’t engage into any gear. I call a couple shops and described the problem. They both wanted to charge me for rebuilding the transmission without even looking at it. I talked to Andy at A-​1 he said they’d look at it for free. I had it towed there and it turned out to be a cracked filter and only ended up costing me $ 134! Way better than over $ 2000! THANKS-​A-​1!
