The Best Transmission Repair in Bakersfield

Vic's Bimmer Shop

"I have a 1997 BMW 328i. I've owned it for eight years. Out here in the Antelope Valley, it gets scorching hot and hot weather days are coming. The air conditioning has never worked as well as I thought it should. Last year, when I moved to this area, I really suffered while driving. I took the car into Vic's for diagnosis and repairThe problem? This cabin air filter. Had I known there was such a thing, I would have had it replaced years ago. My guess is it was never replaced. Filthy, huh? All that gunk blocked the air flow. Everything else in the a/c system is operating correctly (a bit surprising, given the car's age). The air blows like a monster now, like three times more volume. I'm ready for summer. This is an honest shop. A dishonest shop would have been able to claim there were other problems, things that would be expected in an old car. Thank you, Vic & Company!"

Full Throttle Performance

"I recently had the opportunity to have work done some very fine, competent and honest mechanics at Full Throttle. They diagnosed my transmission problems, performed a complete rebuild and upgrade for, what I consider, a very fair price and in the time predicted. While my truck was there, I asked them to change the serpentine belt with a new one I had with me. As my truck is 14 years old I felt it was past due. The belt change turned out to be a bit more of a challenge than anticipated, but, once again, they were up to the task.I left feeling very satisfied with the repairs and tasks performed. I would highly recommend this shop for virtually any repair on your car or truck."

A & L Tire and Service Center

"I had a screw that looked like it was stuck in my brand new tire, right before a road trip. Came to A & L on a Saturday morning and was attended to right away. They drove my car into the bay and quickly discovered the screw was so small it had not punctured my tire. No patch was required and because of this, there was no charge. Thanks! You guys made my day!"

REPRIUS

"This place is great they helped me get rid of some lights on my prius with a simple computer restart."

Protech Auto Service

"I can't say enough positive things about Pro Tech, the staff and service. I have a home in Tehachapi and my shop and other home is in Northern California. Without fail, my van develops a small and annoying problem when I am here a couple of times a year. This time, it was the high pressure power steering line. Two other shops couldn't be bothered to even look at it so I had been told it was the steering box. I swung by to have it looked at Pro Tech and the owner told looked at the van and told me it wasn't the steering box or its seals but the high pressure power steering line. He told me to get the line and make an appointment, which I did and when the line came in to the auto parts store, I made an appointment. I dropped the van off with the line, got a ride from staff to my home and quickly the line installed, an hour labor and my van back in order. 5 stars all around for the experience. I recommend Pro Tech on J Street to anyone who want's an honest business man and business that clearly operates with integrity. 5 stars for Pro Tech, Tehachapi."

All Automatic Transmission - Bakersfield

"Based on Milage, my car needed a transmission service. I called and my questions were answered and everything was explained to me. I made an appointment and the service was finished in a timely manner. And there was no upscale!"

All Automatic Transmission

"I looked at the Yelp reviews and called this place first regarding an issue I have with my transmission. I just called them to see whether they could help me, and shared as best I could recite what the dealer told me. I really appreciate their honesty - they told me that to replace a tranny in my particular car would be too expensive. He suggested contacting Quality Transmission as to whether they might have a used part to save me money.They were so helpful and honest, much different than when I go to the dealer. I usually get quoted something small, and then get called back to say something is thousands and thousands of dollars. With my next car, if I need to get a transmission replaced, I definitely will come back here. They have a great yelp score for a reason!"

Transmission Performance Center

"The guys at Transmission Performance Center really saved us. We bought a truck from a tow yard. There was a sticker near the gas tank that the trunk only took diesel .... so we put diesel. HUGE mistake. Luckily, the truck stopped running near this place. The guys came out to ask us what was wrong. They realized the sticker was wrong and gave us an idea of what could be done to fix the problem. We left the truck with them (thankfully we had a rental) and returned home (to another state). Jimmy communicated with us throughout. He told us when the car would be ready and gave us a fair price. We drove back to Bakersfield and picked up our truck last Friday. We've driven it about almost 1,000 miles so far and it's worked perfectly. These guys are honest and helpful. If I needed help again, I wouldn't hesitate to give them my business."

Transmission Specialist

"My husband talked to David regarding a transmission repair. He was incredibly kind,professional, knowledgeable, and by far best pricing in town! The efficiency and speed can be compared to none. Easy to find location. I highly recommend this amazing buisness. I hold David especially in very high regard. Thankyou David for the outstanding service provided!"

G&G Auto Repair

"Michael Roberts was who took care of me, and he was great.He made me feel valued and happy that I went to G & G.I have been to other places to have my car serviced and was not enthusiastic about being there. I enjoyed this place.The banter between employees made it feel like a family business and a friendly place to be.They were not only friendly though. They were also very thorough and professional. I am quite pleased with my service and highly recommend G&G Auto Repair for your car repair needs.Also, their prices are great."

Independent Volvo

"Paul and Jose are awesome. My whole family gets their cars serviced here. Every time I call they get me right in. They keep my car in great shape. They are honest, fast, and reliable. I have a 10 year old Acura and she's seen some serious miles. She runs like new. I never feel taken advantage of and they give me guarantees on the quality. They are both easy to talk to and patient when explaining anything."

Inside Out Automotive

"Heads up they aren't knowledgeable on electrical work or Japanese engines so just be aware if that happens to have the problem you have."

All Automatic Transmission

"After calling around this entire town; I came across this place on Yelp. After giving them call, they were the only shop willing to look at my issue in a new GMC terrain which has a new design transmission which most shops not only don't have the experience but probably have never encountered them as of yet. I drove the car down to the shop and later they called to let me know of the issue they found. Essentially the torque converter was locking up and instead of replacing or rebuilding it, they were able to add a kit that stopped it from locking and shaking the car. The called in the afternoon and said it was fixed for a few hundred dollars. So far have put 1500 miles on it with zero issues. Very honest shop and doesn't look to break your wallet but actually diagnose the problem and will fix it the right way without putting a dent in the wallet. Definitely will come back here if I ever have any transmission issues with any vehicle. Definitely super reliable, very quick to get you back on the road and exceptional customer service. Well worth your time and money if you have transmission issues"

A 1 Automotive

"I started coming here in 2013. Before I moved from Tehachapi I was having problems with the AC in my Mitsubishi Lancer. After taking it to multiple auto repair shops in Tehachapi, I finally had A1 recommended to me. I've had the absolute worst luck with mechanics in the past, but after meeting Adam, Karen, and Tanner I will never go anywhere else. My husband and I have taken multiple cars to Adam for multiple reasons and he is amazing, always ready to help and give to you straight. I don't know what we would ever do if we didnt have them. I pretty much feel like there my family because they've helped us so much."

Thrifty Automotive

"Brought in the car today to get brakes replaced and to have a sensor checked out. After examining the car, they told my husband he didn't need to have as much work done on his car as he expected. Price was very fair and lower than he predicted. They always look out for the customer's best interest. Again, they also speak Spanish and we highly recommend them to family and friends. Plan to return before the summer heat to have a/c fixed."

Quality Auto Service

"This is the only place I'll take my car. I've had numerous good experiences there. Luis is knowledgeable and fair. Quick service and reasonable prices."

Camara Auto Services

"Went in to pick up a car battery after I was at another shop and was recommended to go here. They had about 15 cars in service and completed it looked like, so I'm assuming they are good at auto repair. The battery was already on the counter when I walked in and the associate was very nice. So as far as that goes, I would definitely come back to get another, or exchange my battery based on the customer service I received."

Bill's Fast Lube & Smog

"Worse mechanic shop and very unreliable. Took 2 months to get car finished when originally said a couple days and it will be done. Came in and car hasn't been looked at. They keep making excuses after excuses. Do not go here unless you do not want your car for a long period of time. This wasn't my car but my girlfriend's aunt's car because someone recommended it. Every other day called and they say it will be done tomorrow and then still not done. After a little bit more than a couple months it gets finished."

Pacific Auto 1

"after a few years of relying on my friends to repair my car, I finally have a job to pay for someone else to fix it.Unfortunately, there are many mechanical shops that are great but gouge people for the most money on the most minor issues on their vehicles. My car that I bought from my family needed some serious attention but the money wasn't unlimited enough to get my car fixed.I was recommended to Mauricio and his shop by the O'Reilly auto parts guys on Roberts lane. Due to my work schedule, it took many fridays of dropping off in the morning and returning a few minutes before closing, I am finally down to the last problem. Mauricio is an honest guy who will tell you what is needed and what is unnecessary. I reccomend him it you are on a limited budget."

Le-Toy Motors and Express Lube

"Took my 16" LS in to get a diagnostic charges were reasonable I called at least 8 other shops and Le toys reputation just ultimately made me choose this shop. He's trust worthy and I will not hesitate to bring my cars here."

Don's Pro Technology Auto Repair

"Brought in my 2002 Toyota Camry for a Smog check to these experts. Very friendly staff and the smog check was done in no time. Highly recommend that you bring your vehicle here, to the experts. Even Don the owner was there to help out. Great value in customer service."

Quality Transmission and Clutch

"Rodney saved me. The dealer said a new transmission and repairs would be more than $10,000! I didn't have that kind of money so I called around and another transmission place recommended Rodney to me. I was able to get a used transmission with warranty for less than half the price! Rodney ran into problems, more because of the type of car I have (the first place I called said they don't even replace trannys for newer Subaru's because the cost is so high!) but he was able to get everything straightened out and the car runs GREAT! I see why Rodney was recommended and why his Yelp rating is so high!"

California Smog and Repair

"I appreciate that this place takes walk-ins! I also got a coupon online, and it right away went to my cell, and I just showed the guy in the front, so my daughter got her smog for $40! The guy in the front was very efficient. He was checking in costumers, collecting payment, driving the cars, for all I know he could have been doing work on the cars as well. Kudos to him! We walked next door to The Patio Place, looked around, and our smog was done,I think, in less than 20 minutes. Thank you, California Smog and Repair, for making this an easy visit for my daughter."

Frank's Transmissions and Auto Repair

"Took my vehicle in for a lower ball joint repair. Got a over the phone quote for $350 and they said that's a estimated price because they haven't seen the car. I said cool, went in and the did a inspection and said was $500 so I said go ahead and do the repair. Stayed and waited for about 4 hours and when they were closing. Guy came in and was furious spoke to me with a angry tone of voice saying he will need to charge me more to remove some more parts in order to get the job done. I told him no and that I'm not going to pay more for him. I think he's the owner, maybe Frank, chubby mexican guy. Shop and I agreed on the $500 payment for them to get the job done. It doesn't matter how easy or hard the job gets the price we agreed on is what I'm gonna pay. If I had knew the price was gonna keep going up I would have never came there. The guy got upset that he couldn't do the job and wanted more money. He changed his tone of voice real fast after me bringing up the BBB that he's upset at himself that he couldn't do the job and wanted more money. He said he'll just leave the car as it is and move my car to the street and let me deal with it. I came in for him to do the job so I can pay him the $500 so I can leave. They said they're the only shop that opens on Saturday and I understand that but taking advantage of their customers by keep raising the price is NOT right. A price was agreed on and they should honor that no matter how easy or hard the job is. Don't get mad at me because you can't do the job and want to keep raising the prices. Also messed my car up even more because I didn't give him "more" money. Other workers there was quiet and they new what he did was messed up. When he did the 4 wheel spin test only 3 wheels spin and the passenger side that he was supposedly to be repairing wasn't spinning. Obviously he didn't even put the axle back into the transmission probably didn't even cleaned the axle end before putting back into the transmission. I'm sure there was sand and debris on it from the ball joint failure. Now my transmission probably has debris and small rock sands in the transmission. The vibe is definitely off at this shop they'll talk to you nice but will continue to keep raising prices on you because they feel like they can because they're the only shop that opens on Saturday. They're crooks!"

Transmission Dr Plus

"I only came in for a smog check and it was done very quickly. I passed even though I was a little worried. They probably saved me from failing by spotting a hose that I had "repaired" with some duct tape. They offered to change it and I accepted assuming I would have to pay a little for the work. They did not charge me a dime for changing the hose! The owner is a very friendly guy and seems very hands on in his shop. I could tell from how he dealt with me and the other customers that came in while I waited that he is a good, honest, business owner that just wants to do good work for his customers without ripping them off. I've been looking for a good shop in town and I think I found it. I will definitely come back when I need some real work done."
