Leon’s Transmission Services

I had my transmission rebuilt by Leons, with Jacklyn making sure all is said and done correctly. There were 2 minor problems but, those were part failures. Something they can’t control. However, Jacklyn and the shop crew, saw to it all was taken care of and, to this day, 2 years later, I have had no problems with my transmission. I am a contractor and tow a cargo trailer almost every day. That’s a good test for a transmission. The original failed me twice.
I am headed for the yearly service this morning. My experience with Jacklyn and this Leons has been excellent. After 2 years with no problems, how could one NOT recommend this shop for transmission service/​repair.

wow, what a day. blew a trans line and had to be towed by roys towing. best flatbed towing company out there. he advised me to take it to jaqueline at leon’s transmission. thank god for his advice. pull in to there repair shop and all bays are full. she has one of the vehicals moved out and we push my avalanche onto lift. the two guys working this saturday very nice and knew there stuff. obviously, i was worried that i might have blown my transmission. (hint, if u notice you trans slipping pull over turn off engine and get it towed to leon, s trans don’t try to keep going.) they repair bad line, make improvements actually, add a ton of new trans oil. they took the time to clean engine compartment and i was on my way in an hour. i cannot stress enough how rare it is to come across any business especially auto repair shop that you can reley on and trust. u have a trans problem in or around 1000 oaks and even if u dont have aaa call roys towing and dont be stupid. take it to jackie at leon, s trans and if your worried about a more than fair price… believe me you wont be disappointed in that regard either. day could have been a disaster, but roys towing, jackie and her crew made it much better than it could have been. you rule jackie

Leon’s Transmission exceeded my expectation. I don’t usually keep my cars and trucks for a long time to need a major transmission work on them. But I have a 1990 Toyota PU Truck which has nostalgic value for me. I bought it new 25 years ago and after first 15 years of good use, it kind of sat idle for a while as a backup truck for hauling. A couple of weeks ago, I realized that I need a transmission overhaul since thare are no new parts available for the old truck. A friend referred me to Leon’s in the SF Valley. But I realized that there is no need to go the Valley. They are all over Southern California and there is a store in Thousand Oaks. That is when I met Jacqui, the manager of TO store. She is kind, honest, professional and very knowledgeable. She used her expertise to come up with a price that would be affordable enough for me to not give up on my old truck. It was a huge relief. I also think that it is really cool to see a woman in a traditionally male dominated job. It speaks volumes about the company and their business philosophy.

I had my car towed there thinking I had an issue with my transmission. Then found out it was the water pump. Since when did radiator coolant become red like transmission fluid? Anyway, Jacqueline was completely awesome! Not only did she recommend another shop right around the corner who’s able to fix the water pump in a day for a reasonable price but she offered to tow my car for me. And as the car could still be driven a short distance she had one of her mechanics drive it for me since I had my 3 year old with me.
Jacqueline ROCKS! And so does the crew at Leon’s. I’ll definitely be taking my car to them when it’s time to flush and service the transmission. Thank you all so much for your professionalism and courtesy today. See you soon! Cheers!

So scratch that rave review. YET another transmission later. Trust me, when I need another transmission, I won’t be coming back here. I gave them two stars for the fact that they did replace the transmission for the 3^rd time and we both agreed to sever our relationship. The local car company that is 5 stars on Unilocal who referred me here in the first place, doesn’t send people here anymore. Nor will they get any referrals from me. But when someone asks me about my experience here I will be truthful.

So I purchased a 2007 Ford Explorer knowing they have transmission issues and sure enough I lost 3^rd gear. The folks at Leon’s were great. They did the full rebuild quickly explained all the details and now the truck runs great. Thanks for a job well done.

Jacqueline was awesome. I had lots of issues. my car was difficult to fix and the parts were NOT available for
Jacqueline got right on top of it and got hold of them finished my car earlier than anticipated.
this shop is where you want to go!
Thank you to all the staff at Leon’s…
I’m back on the road and know where I can go if I have any further issues!

I was really concerned about the transmission on my car. I was afraid that it was going to cost a lot of money to fix. I remembered that I had used Leon’s Transmission in Thousand Oaks a long time ago and that it was a good experience. So, of course, I went there again. I showed up 2 minutes before closing time and asked if someone could take a look at it. Without saying a word about how late it was, Vinnie came and talked to me. He took it on a test drive and then checked a few things when we got back. It turned out that the problem was that I needed to add transmission fluid which Vinnie did for me. So, I left their shop with my car running perfectly and without having been charged a penny.
I can’t say enough about the friendly and professional way that I was treated. Vinnie was eager to help and completely honest. Leon’s Transmission and Vinnie are going to be recommended by me for a long time. It is a repair facility that I can go to and feel comfortable and safe, because I know from experience that they are honest.

I was referred by a friend who has been going here for years and I am so happy that I took her advice!
Not only did they completely know what they were talking about when it comes to transmissions but they also diagnosed another problem that I was having with my car that another mechanic was not able to identify.
It is not often that I leave a mechanics shop happy because I usually don’t trust them but I felt completely confident that they were honest and had my best interest at heart.
Thank you!

I wish I could give 5 stars, but a cannot. Simiply because of unfriendly staff and lack of communication. Not one of the staff were personable in anyway, but people who get into mechanics usually aren’t. Rick seemed to really know what he was doing and I could tell he’d been doing this a long time. He must get a lot of referrals, becuase this place is very busy. I had to call many times to make sure my car was even looked at, and again to see when I could pick it up. They did call me to look at their findings before doing any work on my car, which I liked, but when I paid I was almost made to feel like I was robbing them for using the coupon from their website. Overall, the job got done and done well and me car was returned unscuffed. They stand by their work and months later I didn’t have to take it back in.
