Marsh Transmission & Auto Repair

Marsh did my 2003 Volvo XC-​90 transmission and transfer case a while back. Fort Knox City. When I noticed some red fluid on the garage floor, I took it back for a check-​up. Marsh started by pulling the pan, that looked like the leak source, for a new gasket. But low and behold, on opening up the tranny, there were gray deposits everywhere, as if the last quickie oil change guys put some of my Castrol GTX in my new tranny. Marsh flushed the tranny, new filter, new fluid, and saved me a sample of the fluid for chemical analysis. All — no charge! Zippo. Nada. Will I ever go anywhere else? No!

Took car in for possible transmission issues… yes, bad news…
Because referred by our mechanic, decided not to charge us for diagnostics. Wow, that doesn’t happen anymore! Paul and John were amazing in the brief and sad, yet needed, diagnosis.
Thank you, boys!

John and Paul know customer service and they live to ensure all of their customers are happy.
Had to have my Acura’s transmission replaced after 180,000 miles. OK so maybe I should just get a new car but the engine is still going strong. The price to repair was reasonable and my friend who owns D&M Auto Repair in Beaverton highly recommended Marsh.
After the initial rebuild of the transmission I had a few issues which Paul and John resolved. I am currently at 231 000 miles and going strong.
Do yourself a favor and bring the car to Marsh to have the transmission worked on! You will not regret it.

John & Paul are the best and experts in what they do. They did a fantastic job fixing my Lexus transmission. Transmission work is too expensive to hope you chose a good shop. Paul and John showed me exactly what was damaged. The parts the were using and what parts they were upgrading to make it better than the original. Would recommend without hesitation.

My wife owns a 2004 VW Beetle and we started having some shifting issues. After doing some searches on line for possible solutions everything pointed to valve body. I took her car to a transmission shop in Beaverton and he claimed it was throwing a bunch of codes and referred us to a VW specialist in Beaverton. I told my story to the «specialist» and I told him what I thought it was. He charged me $ 100 to diagnosis it and said it was spark plugs. he then charged me $ 300 to change the plugs. Still had issues and we took it back. He then said it was the turbo bypass valve. I bought a new one for $ 100 and still had issues. Took the car to dealer who charged me another $ 100 for diagnosis. They told me it was the valve body (huh) and it would cost $ 2000 to repair it. I swung by a different shop who referred me to Marsh Transmission. I went in and talked to Paul about it and he actually listened to what was happening and agreed pretty much right away that it was the valve body. He quoted me an average price without even looking at the car (I was not with her car at this time). We scheduled an appointment after I put some money together. My wife and I are on a tight budget and knew that quoted price was doable, but was going to be tough for a few weeks. Paul called me when the car was done and gave me a final cost. Price ended up being $ 600 less than quoted and $ 700 less than dealer. I told my wife what the cost was and she couldn’t believe that we found an honest mechanic. Any other mechanic would have taken me for what they quoted. Paul and his dad John are top notch folks. I would recommend them to anybody. I plan on taking my other car to them just for a trans service. PLEASE use Marsh Transmission if you need tranny service. You will not be disappointed. Way to go Paul and John! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

These guys are terrific. They truly are as good as it gets. Its damn near impossible to find a company that still shapes their entire business model around great customer service, but Marsh does.
To make a very long story short, I own a vehicle that had been experiencing transmission problems for the last few months. I took the vehicle to a few other shops (NEVER EVER GO TO CLAYON’S AUTO REPAIR IN CORVALLIS) who charged me upwards of $ 400 dollars to fix the problem to no avail.
I drove my car up to Marsh Transmission who took a look at it for free. The owner of the company, John, went out of his way to make sure that I was taken care of for my trip to Washington. He diagnosed the problem in about 30 minutes and fixed my car right up. Best part, he only charged me for parts, no labor, and did all the work himself. $ 21 later and my car has never ran better.
I really don’t know what to say about Marsh’s. The kindness that the owner showed me was so unique and generous, you just don’t see that these days. If more companies operated more like Marsh’s, we’d live in a totally different world. ⁵⁄₅ stars, you can’t get any better. Words cannot explain how much I recommend these guys.

I had them rebuild my trans in late 2010. It took quite a while and cost quite a bit but it’s been working well since and they are very upfront about what they are doing. The other day, I had some trouble with shifting and my 24,000 mile warranty was still in effect. I took it up there and they had it diagnosed quickly, it was not the trans but they were willing to fix it for me quickly and effectively. I’d go back!

This was my first complete car crapout. And boy did I get pissed off. Regardless, Marsh’s was recommended by a dudefriend that owns a shop. I got the car in on Tuesday noon with little notice, they diagnosed it and had the repair planned out by 5pm. I wrangle a rental (see the Enterprise review upcoming) and get on my merry way. I don’t hear anything until Friday when I call to ask whats up, whereupon I get the glorious news that more shit is wrong with the car, chachining my grand total to +2g’s.
Barf.
It was done by Monday evening. They road tested it, and I also have a 24,000 mile warranty. They were accomodating to me calling several times on Monday making sure I would get it back when they said. and I did. But still, ouch. I almost wanted to give this place 3 stars, but that was only because of the expenditure. Not 5 stars because they didn’t call me Friday, the expected completion day.
*seriously. and buy me a Corona at kareoke and I’ll knock off $ 3.
