Father & Son Transmission and Auto Repair Specialists

Great work, great customer service, and cometitively priced… I would recommend giving Angel a call if you’re looking to rebuild a transmission. 2002 4.8l Silverado.

I took my Yukon to F & S Transmission for a problem with a sluggish transmission. Angel took the SUV in and his mechanic and he looked it over. To my surprise, they told me that my transmission was fine and that I had an electrical problem. They suggested that I take my SUV to an auto electric shop to repair the problem since they did not specialize in this type of work. I love how honest Angel and his mechanic were. They could have easily told me that I needed to rebuild my transmission and I would have believed them since the transmission was not shifting properly. Instead, they were honest and referred me to another shop. This is very uncommon in auto shops now-​a-​days and for that, I give them 5 Stars. Both Angel and his mechanic were very professional and polite. I highly recommend Father and Son Transmission to anyone with a transmission problem.

Angel and his team did a great job on my transmission. He ran the diagnostics in front of me and explained everything. He quoted a fixed price and that was what was charged. When I picked up the car he showed me the parts replaced. I highly recommend Father and Son Transmission.

I took my car in the other day after speaking with Angel about possibly replacing my transmission and it turned out that I had electrical problem he referred me where to go and did not try to sell me a new transmission that I didn’t need I definitely appreciate the honesty

Had an issue with my transmission, Angel and team jumped on it and found the problem right away. After driving for a few days noticed something didn’t feel quite right. Took it back in and they found a loose ground cable going into the transmission, fixed that too no additional charge, now driving like new.
Great job, friendly service and all around good
experience.
The first time in a while I felt good about fixing my car
Thank you gentlemen

I was having trouble with my transmission and looked up local shops on Unilocal and this had a lot of good reviews, so I gave them a try. Took about 7 – 10 days to get in, very busy, they diagnosed and gave me the bad news. They gave me a fair price and explained everything they do and did the work right away. It’s been a few months and everything has been working great! Would highly recommend for service. Thanks Angel.

Family owned business. Thats what caught my attention initially when looking for somewhere to get my Transmission fixed. Wanted to suport small business. I had a regular mechanic for years, but moved and it wasnt convenient so I called and talked to Angel, the Son. Felt like family instantly trusted him and more so after I met the Father. Very kind, honest and professional people.
This post is long over due, my transmission was fixed in June. My apologies, had a very busy summer. My 2002 Explorer has been running like new since. Great price and payment plans if needed. Thank you so much.
Definitely recommend them to ALL, my Family and Friends also.

2005 Buick LeSabre. Previous mechanic did not put enough fluid in it and the pressure control solenoid died. He then had it «rebuilt» by a so called «specialist» in Long Beach. Charged me $ 700 and installed a Chevy transmission without telling me (evidently most GM trannys look the same), and did not rebuild anything; even left out a part. Said problem had to be a motor mount. Was without a car for 3 months as they fiddled and diddled. I thought it would never work again. Finally was referred to Father and Son by a friend. They took the tranny apart and discovered it was not a Buick tranny by counting the number of teeth on an axle gear. They installed Buick parts and it works perfectly; didn’t charge me any extra over a general rebuild. I learned a lesson: go to the best first off. I can’t say enough good things about their professionalism.

My transmission crapped out on me while I was on the 605 around 4PM. Luckily I was noticing some issues with it a few weeks prior so I had already did some research on local transmission shops and my dealer. I spoke with Angel from Father and Sons Transmission Specialist and I like the way he explained everything to me plus the dealers price was outrageous compared to F&S and the dealer didn’t include all the extra stuff that F&S did. Anyway back to the day my tranny crapped out… As quickly as I could I pulled over and called AAA. Once that was done I called Angel and gave him an ETA. That didn’t work out because the tow truck driver was late (busy day I guess). Angel told me if he was gone to drop off my truck with the shop next door but to my relief he wanted and hour after his shop closed for me to arrive. After some diagnostics it was confirmed it was my transmission that was wrecked. Lucky for me and F&S Transmission I was leaving town in a few days for a week which gave them plenty of time to work on my truck. During my trip Angel called me and said they could finish my truck on the day promised because some parts they ordered where late arriving from the dealer, however he only needed one more day so no big deal and I appreciated the advance notice. When I arrived to pick up my truck Angel spent a lot of time explaining what happened, showing me my damaged transmission parts, educated me on what to do for the next hundred miles, told me when to change my tranny oil and explained their warranty. I’ve had my truck for a few days and things are great although I’ve been living with a bad tranny for a while so I’m not quite used to how a good tranny should react. If you have a bad transmission do you self a favor and check out F&S Transmission. They provide outstanding customer service, detailed instructions of work, and the price is great! Thanks Angel for everything and I look forward to many more miles on my beloved truck.

Came to my rescue when I needed them, thank you so much for all your help, great customer service!

I was experiencing issues with my automatic transmission vehicle switching gears while I was driving on the freeway. I figured I was having transmissions issues so I decided to take my vehicle to this location based on the Unilocal reviews. After running a free diagnostic Angel explained that I was not having transmission issues but rather issues with the ECM. Although he was unable to fix the issue he was kind enough to take 40 minutes to provide me with a detailed explanation of the issues my car had, answer all my questions and provide me with a recommendation for another mechanic that could assist me with repairs. Angel and his father provided excellent and honest service, they even checked service bulletins to see if this was a known issue with my vehicle make and model. I would DEFINITELY recommend this business to anyone seeking honest and fair transmission repair.

I found this shop on Unilocal and decided to check it out myself. I went in to inquire about a manual transmission fluid change and Angel was quick to help me. I also asked him about an issue I was having with my shifter and he was very knowledgable about it. He was very honest and upfront about his services. He asked me to bring the car closer to the shop so that he could check it. Angel’s father checked the car and tested the shifter and said it felt fine. He gave me a reasonable explanation as to why I could be having that issue but said that he didn’t find any problems with my shifter or transmission. I drove away happy.
This family-​owned shop is the real deal. They are very honest people and are there to help out. If you are having transmission issues, I highly recommend this place.

Wow! Truly fantastic service!
My 1995 Volvo 850 T-​5R had been shifting a bit rough, and a had a decent «clunk» when shifting from Drive to Reverse. After reading the reviews here for Father & Son Transmission, I felt confident in setting up an appointment with Angel to have him look at my vehicle.
Angel and his father are both very down to earth, customer service professionals who truly know their mechanical trade. I felt valued as a customer, yet at the same time could tell that I wasn’t just seen as «a customer», but as a real person who had concerns that genuinely mattered.
After my vehicle had been checked for any trouble codes, and had a diagnostic test drive performed, Angel took the time to explain the common mannerisms of the transmission type that is in my vehicle, and what could be the culprit. However, Angel never made me feel uneasy or worried about what may need to be done to resolve the issue.
Angel and his father recommended that I first try replacing the Throttle Position Sensor, because of its potential to cause symptoms like the ones my vehicle has. It is a quick, inexpensive fix that I can do myself. Since the Throttle Position Sensor on my vehicle is original (over 100k miles old) and can be easily found for under $ 30, I truly appreciated Angel and his Dad’s suggestion, and I will be replacing the Sensor this weekend. I LOVE that they did not try to upsell anything to me at any point.
Angel didn’t recommend that I pursue any major work like replacing or rebuilding anything at this point until making sure all other possibilities are explored. When I asked him for a quote on a full rebuild if it comes down to it, I was extremely relieved to hear a VERY fair and competitive price. I was very pleased to know that it would a fixed price, meaning NO nickel and diming to hike up the cost no matter what they run into during the repair!
After all was said and done, I left with a truly appreciated service recommendation, and peace of mind at no charge (free diagnostic), yet at the same time I received a true wealth of information and genuine help.
Even if replacing the Throttle Position Switch doesn’t fully resolve the issue and further steps need to be taken, I am 110% confident in the service at Father & Son and will be bringing any transmission related issues to them in the future, and recommending that all my family and friends do the same!

This is honestly the only place that I trust to take in my car! They are honest and they actually know what they’re talking about! Reasonable price quality work! I recommend this place!

This Father and Son are FANTASTIC!!! I was looking for an honest mechanic in Whittier that I can feel comfortable with and trust. My engine light came on and I panicked but Angel and his Dad resolved the issue and any future problems I have with my car, I will go straight to Father & Son. Thank you for taking care of me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Auto Repair shop.

Called for a quote and gave me a set greag price on top of that they gave so much info that other transmission weren’t telling me.
Honesty goes along way no wonder they have so many great reviews.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Angel and the guys are awesome. I needed my clutch replaced on my 2004 subaru. He went out of his way to find high quality parts for me and had the job done the next day at a competitive price. Thanks Father and son’s.

BEST OF THE BEST! Angel and crew replaced my CV Boot in a few hours and at ½ the price Pep Boys quoted me. Father and Sons is now «my mechanic»!

My car is a manual and recently started to have hard time changing and engage gears after using clutch. So I went to this place. Angel was able to confirm the clutch was bad. He was very straightforward on what would be done and gave very reasonable estimate.
On the day of repair, they found brake master cylinder went bad and provided price which I accepted.
When the job was done, Angel shown me very worn, I mean WORN clutch from my car. It had very bad slippages. Also shown me the bad master cylinder.
It shows that they are honest and very proud of their work.
Today, my car is running like new, firm clutch and smooth shifting.
Highly recommend this shop!

I was having trouble with my 2000 Toyota Tacoma, already spent $ 1,500 with replacing the transmission and some other parts with several mechanics. The car still wouldn’t shift properly. I didn’t really know what to do and was tired of people not knowing they’re stuff.
Brought it to Angel and his dad at Father & Son Transmission and they finally solved the problem for me and at a great price. They really know their stuff.
Angel explained everything to me and was more than helpful. You can tell he and his dad are good people. I would definitely recommend him to others.
