Levrett Transmission

Levrett fixed the transmission on my Ford Explorer 10 years ago at a great price with great results. I was so impressed that I kept their business card for 10 years. When the transmission went out on my Volvo I sent it over. They did a thorough diagnosis and presented my options. I was very impressed (again) with their integrity and honesty. Since the car had 174K miles I decided not to proceed with the repairs, but still strongly recommend this highly ethical shop.

Everyone here was awesome and highly professional. I brought my 1957 ford in and needed a transmission rebuild. Skip gave me a fair price and took very good care of my car while it was there. They pulled it in every night and kept it safe. Now I can cruise with my family with out worrying about being left on the side of the road.

I brought my 1973 Chevy K-​10 into Skip the new owner of Levrette for a complete transmission, drive-​line, steering box and other work to get my Old Timer up and running. Skip provided me with a full detail analysis before any work was done and full description of why I needed the work. I’ve been driving the truck for 3 years on Sunday’s with my wife it was horrible to drive but still fun.
Now that I’ve had my entire drive line fixed and steering it is like driving a new truck! My wife can now drive the truck and we look forward to Hot August Nights cruising Virginia Avenue and off roaring it on the trails above Robb Drive.
I highly recommend Levrette Transmission!

What do you do when you decide to buy a 1991 One Ton Dodge Van to drive out to Burning Man and aren’t exactly sure it’s in road ready condition? You take it to a reputable mechanic and get them to give it a thorough inspection! That’s exactly where my relationship with Skip Thompson began 3 years ago, and ever since he’s been servicing all of my vehicles. When it came to the van, knowing we were headed to no mans land in the desert, Skip was sure to do a top to bottom review of absolutely every vital piece of the vehicle. About 24 hours later he called me with a full report, including which things I needed to address immediately and which could easily wait. Skip performed the necessary stuff and thanks to his great work, our van Bertha, as we affectionately refer to her, has made not one, but three safe trips to the playa!
On another occasion a belt randomly came flying off my Mazda when starting it up in a parking lot. Because I know nothing about cars I thought I could just put the belt back on, but when I realized that wasn’t the case, I made an emergency call to Skip! I had the car towed to him, and 24 hours later I had a diagnosis and solution, and less than 24 hours later the car was fixed and back in my driveway!
When I recently decided to pickup a 99 Chevy Pickup, Skip was the first person I called. He was happy to perform another top to bottom inspection for me, which revealed that this old truck had been well cared for, and nothing needed to be done. Regardless, when something does happen, I know exactly where I’ll be taking it.
Skip already did it all from his mobile shop, but I’m happy that he purchased this longstanding business, and has moved his already amazing operation into a full service shop. The work he can do came highly recommended from a good friend, I’ve recommended him to a lot of people, and I’m looking forward to many more years of reliable service ahead.

after my transmission failed i had my car towed to levrett due to a friend’s recommendation. i was told that i needed a new transmission at a cost of $ 4500+. the car was worth just about that. so i told them that i would have it towed away. just before the tow service arrived to pick the car up, levrett called again and said that they could replace the transmission for about $ 3300. this irritated me so much that i decided to have the car towed to the auto repair (not a transmission repair shop) that had serviced the car for several years for storage until i could decide what to do with it.
the day after it was left at the auto repair i received a call from my repair shop telling me that my car was ready to go. i was pleasantly surprised when they told me that they had flushed the transmission and replaced the transmission fluid and filter. the transmission has been just fine ever since. total cost $ 250.00.
you draw your own conclusions about levrett.

Poor customer service! I don’t normally write reviews, but I recently went to Leverett when my automatic shift controller went out on my 2002 Chev Trailblazer since they had replaced my transmission the year before. Ultimately, I was told they were having a hard time finding a replacement part. After waiting a week, I decided to call around to see if I was being given a run around and found the part here in town with one phone call. When I called Leverett and said I thought I had found the part, the gentleman I spoke with said I had the wrong part and that if I was calling around to other shops I should just come pick up my car (which of course was not drivable)! I responded that was not my intention, that I wanted to use them and that I was just trying to help so I could get my car back. I said I would be patient and wait for their part to arrive. Not 20 minutes after my call, my husband received a call from the office lady who very angrily told him that we should come pick up our car by the end of the day! They were cut off, then she called back offering to replace the part with a used part and it would be ready by the end of the day. We wanted new, so he said we wait. This gave us both a bad feeling about using Leverett. I called the next morning asking to speak with the owner, John Leverett. After no return call, I called again with the intent to move my car to another shop, when the office lady offered to confirm if I had found the wrong part. She called my husband again, instead of me, and told him I was right and for him to call me to let me know! When I called back, I no longer felt I could trust them and chose to move my car to another transmission shop. While Leverett may have great mechanics, their customer service is sorely lacking and I will never go back. And sadly, John Leverett still has never returned my call.

Levrett Transmissions does great, honest work. The transmission in my Ford Falcon was not shifting out of first gear, and it badly needed a rebuild. When I called, I learned that they had experience with my exact transmission and they gave me a perfectly reasonable estimate for a rebuild. They delivered on time and did not charge me a dollar over the original estimate. This was approximately 8 months ago and the transmission is still running like a champ. They also re-​welded my dipstick collar to the dipstick, which had broken loose and was rattling all of the time. Simply a great, honest shop, with knowledgeable technicians and top-​rate service.

I was having car troubles and came here to have it fixed. John the owner took GREAT care of me and my car! He was funny, professional and a great business man. They didn’t try and sell me anything that didn’t need to be fixed! Will go back for any future problems!
