House of Automatic Transmissions

Found this gem of a shop on Unilocal and it lived up to its reviews! Thank you Unilocalers! Thank you House of Automatic Transmissions! Quick and honest with great customer service. I brought my Toyota 4Runner in after the Toyota dealership said I needed a new transmission to the tune of over $ 6000. Tom at House of AT recognized my truck’s problem as a common occurrence for older trucks that could be fixed by simply changing the fluid. Worth a try at least before replacing the whole transmission! So far, so good! Definitely visit House of AT first for any transmission issues!

Tom’s work, prices, guarantee, and honesty is fantastic! Nearly two years ago he rebuilt my 2002 Ford Explorer for less than any other bid. He proved that his guarantee would be honored in Arizona, if needed. He completed the work quickly. Today I told him how happy I am with his work and he remembered me very well. He is a man of honesty and integrity.

HONEST PEOPLE! The customer service here was great! I went in to get my transmission checked out for my vw beetle. They checked it out free of charge, he even drove it around the block to make sure everything was running well. They were very honestly in telling me it was perfectly fine and needed no work done! I highly recommend this place

called about a transmission problem on my 2006 TDI I am a DYI they were very helpful with somethings I could try. If I need to take to a shop it will be the House Of Automatic Transmissions.
Thanks for your help

Unilocal didn’t let me down! This is a good old fashioned shop with a couple of guys that know what they’re doing and they’re out to make a good honest living. Great feedback, great customer service, and HONEST. I will use them again! BTW, I had the transfercase replaced in my 2000 Silverado.

Highly recommended, the best service and the best price ever !!
They checked my transmission and adjust it for free
Because it’s a minor problem
I really appreciate it ^_^

The price was right and service was good.

In my warped world, value has nothing to do with inexpensive. It has everything to do with fair pricing, professionalism, promptness, expertise, experience and delivering what was promised. I got everything and more for my ’72 Ford. My old school c4 transmission was tired and clattered like steel wheels on railroad tracks. Thom and team rebuilt it and after a short break in period and a no hassle adjustment, it shifts smoother and more accurately than any of my new cars! I’m not new to automobile repair and can flush out a shifty auto shop. There was no pressure, the problem was identified by inspection and test drive. What was explained to me was conveyed in simple, straight forward terms and made perfect sense. I was happy to pay for the quality rebuild and to give a little more by writing this review. Hopefully House of Automatic Transmissions will get a few more jobs from my review. Readers, please support local business like this one.

Tom was sooooo terrific in giving me advise on «what to do my old mini-​van with the blown transmission», including viable alternatives and a lower cost on a re-​bulit tranny than the place I’ve vested my money in for years! I will definitely go to him for the transmission unless I decide to sell «as is». *** Thanks Tom for the great advice ***

So two weeks to the day after my transmission was rebuilt my water pump went out!
I think Tom is in bed with the water pump companies around the world! he rebuilds your transmission and breaks your water pump!
Or my truck has 245 000 miles on it and it just went out? HMMMM
Truth be told Tom and his crew are first class professionals. I was very impressed with there work and knowledge of transmissions.
Thank you Tom and crew.

The owner checked out my tranny for free and said there was nothing wrong with it, but then, even with people waiting, he talked with me until we figured out what caused the problem. I will definitely use him in the future. The place looked clean and very busy which is a good sign.

Tom is a great mechanic and a very loyal person. I would recommend his shop to everyone who asks about transmission experts. He’s very educated in his field and did a very good job on my car. He even negotiated his labor price with my warranty company so that they wouldn’t put a used transmission in my car and he would rebuild my transmission himself.

Tom is my man!
I recently took my 2001 VW Passat (12÷30÷14) to H.A.T. because of the transmission leaking fluid.
Tom and his staff were great and very helpful and honest.
Unfortunately my Passat will cost too much $$$ to fix her transmission.
Tom charged me a very fair price for his service, which it made my day, knowing that I will need to try to sale this car and save every cent to get a another one.
I highly recommend this place.
Thanks guys for being there.

What can I say? Honest and Knowledgeable! Tom goes above and beyond to help his customers. He is professional and helped me out of a tough spot. He calmed me down and saved my Santa Fe and my wallet and sanity!

Took my older work car in for servicing and to see if it needed any help. Tom drove it and advised I replace my axles and brakes. He told my my transmission was wearing but to just drive it as there was not a lot he could do. Also determined what the check engine light was on for. Anyway… its nice to be able to take your car somewhere and they give you the straight scoop and don;t try to do things you don’t need done… and no charge for the advice! I highly recommend House of Automatic Transmissions

I choose them because of there reviews and i knew i was spending $ 3000 on a new transmission, these people are terrible. My tranny went out. I sent it to them spent $ 3000. When i got it back it stunk like hot burnt radiator fluid. It broke down 30 miles later pouring out radiator fluid. I send it back and they said it would cost 350 to replace it. I called 3 shops in sacramento and they all charged $ 130 – 200 plus the $ 20 water pump So i towed it to my house because i aint paying them double, so i had it towed home And replaced it myself. So tryed it out and it Still leaked, so i took it to a shop. And i have a bad timing chain gasket. Another 800‑1250 $. both shops said it could be
the transmission shops fault. Because the day i got it back is when this happened i had this issue never before Intill i got my tranny done. So i called house of transmission. They told me they aint helping me nor fixing it and its just a quinky dinky it happened This place costed me additional repairs. My car never had a cooling issue intill it left. House of transmission. This company is awful and shady

Tom is the man! Came to him because of all the positive reviews and I was not disappointed! He promptly took my Cadillac for a spin and assessed the problem while also fixing my brake problem! Turned out I didn’t need a new booster like another shop had told me. Tom saw that a hose was disconnected and had the brakes back to normal in seconds. Tom was indignant that another shop had not fixed it already. Unfortunately I do need my transmission repaired :/​He printed out an estimate for me and I think I’d rather put that money towards a down payment on a newer car but even with that unpleasant news I had a great experience at this place and will definitely be coming here for future car issues! Oh and did I mention the ~15 minutes he spent with me to do all this was FREE!!! ‘Nuff said.

Absolutely top notch transmission repair facility! Tom is extremely honest, affordable and does very very fairly priced service/​repair work. I would highly recommend House Of Automatic Transmissions to anybody needing transmission work performed! Thanks again Tom for the great job.

Honest; my husband brought an older car here a few years ago trying to get an estimate for new transmission. He was told that it would be more money than the vehicle was worth. Honesty goes a long way with us especially when it comes to auto mechanics.

Thanks to House of Automatic Transmission my Chevrolet 1500 with at 4L80e shifts like a champ. The diagnostic was FREE and the owner was very helpful in answering my questions and might have held on to the truck a little longer than promised but in the end it runs great. You also get a 3 YR warranty.
