I am a hot rodder! My fiance & I both love our classic cars! But last December, Myt trans bit the dust........& it happened to be at a time when we were planning to go on a trip & I had no time to work on myself. Transmission World was 1 block from us so I went to them & yes, I too fell for the liquid crap that exits their mouths! It lasted The "re-build" lasted just five months! The car is a 1974 Pontiac LeMans. Its metallic bronze, four door, and loud! I know for a fact people around the area know which car is mine, because you don't see them much anymore! Anyway, after five months from Dec. the trans took a dump!! I had it towed by a second party tow company because no one would answer the phone! This happened in JUNE!!!!! My car was there for three days & they told me that they would fix it after I paid "their" tow bill! They took it apart then called to tell me that my tag was stolen.......GREAT! Woo Hoo! Then the manager told me that they need it gone instantly! Thenext day, my car is gone & they told me it is safe in their storage unit & they would not tell me where that was! Mine & my fiance's winter coats are in there. Neither of us make a lot of money so are we supposed to do? I want my car back now! I dont care if you dont fix it....I can do it myself, Just give it back! Oh yeah......if they "store" your car.......they will charge you $25.00 a day every day! Now I "owe" in the ball park of more than $3000.00! DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE!!!! Pros: Proverbial thieves! Cons: My property thatwas stolen!

Everyone that said Transmission World is writing their own reviews is correct. My cousin used to work there and he said the manager would get on here and with bogus names and create wonderful reviews to try to make everyone with a complaint look ridiculous. You are right in the fact that the 4 in a row good reviews that was made on the same day , was made by the same person and that in fact, is the manager. If you really look at the writing style and such, you will notice it is the same person every time. Pitiful Pitiful Pitiful! BTW my cousin quit because he didn't agree to put transmissions in cars that didn't need it. He wanted no part of that! Pros: The place could blow up and a real business could go there. Cons: That this place will keep taking people's money

After I picked up my car and saw it was doing the same thing it did before I brought it in. I got into a heated discussion over the phone with the manager and got hung up on. I brought my car back and he said it was a faulty Solenoid but that I could still drive it for a while, and he was going to order the part. Of course when I brought it in for the same problem, he said he was glad I got it in so early because it would damage it to drive it any further. YET NOW IT'S OK TO DRIVE IT? Anyway he never could fix the "check engine light" and just would clear out the code and that was his answer to everything. I took it back to my mechanic and he and the tech said I NEVER NEEDED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SOLENOID. Anyway, I am going to the BBB. If that doesn't get resolved I am call the new station that busts scammers, if it still is not resolved then it's court. If anyone wants to join me or knows the LexusOwner who is filing a suit, email me at knoxvilleflower@yahoo. Pros: Only if the place closed Cons: Only if the place remains open

my 97 honda civic was starting to have problems i took it to my local mechanic and they told me it was my transmission. i called around looking for a resonable price for transmission work and came across TransMission world. they first told me my transmission would need rebuilded and it would cost me no less than 1600 and no more than 1800,and 479.00 to pull the transmission but it would be included in the intial repair. later the owner called me and said that my transmission was so bad that it was rubbing metal and the shaving got into the electrons which will cost more, than quoted me 2700 { our jaws dropped and eyes bugged at that price} when we declined he went down instantly to 2400 we declined again over the next few days they kept trying to get us to get the car fixed and would lower the price we kept declining and inbetween this time we had a few unkind words to each other bout the car and finally Friday (oct 30-09) i got my car back paying the main 523.00 for pulling the Transmission, took my car to another shop and they proved that my transmission was never pulled out of the car!!! and the only problem was that it was low on transmission fluid!!! my family went and demanded a refund and the owner and employees started cursing and ranting and raving and demanded them off their property! I have read other peoples review and first wanna say I am truly sorry that this man damaged your vechile so bad that it cost you more money than what its worth. I got lucky and only lost 523.00 with no other damages made to my car. For those of you who need work done on your car and its TransMission problems please dont go to TransMission World, the owner of the shop is not professional, he is a liar and he is a crook he has been banned for the rest of life to open any business in Flordia, that should speak for itsself, but just read these reviews and he has 8 complaints on him with the bbb..i would recommend taking your car to Budget Transmisson they are professional and very nice!!! the men at TransMission World will get the justice they deserve!!! you have to give them a rating so i gave them when they dont deserve that one! They are a sorry bunch of fake mechanics!!! I really think the owner of the shop is having his family and friends leave good reviews because there are way too many bad reviews than good ones! AGAIN PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! THERE ADD IN THE PHONE BOOK IS FALSE THEY ARE FALSE ADVERTISING!!! THEY ARENT THE GOOD GUYS THEY ARE ONLY SEEKING OUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY CAN GET FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS! THEY ARE FAKE,PHONEY,CROOKED,SCAMERS,AND HAS LOST ALL RESPECT FROM ME AND MY FAMILY AND OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD TO DEAL THEM!!!! Pros: STAY AWAY FROM THEM Cons: PAYING OUT MONEY FOR BOGUS REPAIRS

I got stuck on the way back from visiting family in Strawberry Plains. There was no way my car was going to make it all the way home, so I pulled into a gas station and looked through the phone book for someone to call. I called a few places but wasn't having any luck because it was sunday... until I called Transmission World. THANK GOD a real person actually answered the phone. The tow truck was there in less than an hour and I even got a ride back home after we got to the shop. I really appreciate them going the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of. The best part of all was that I got my car back two days later and it works great!

These guys were unbelievable in how thouroughly they shystered me. I took my car there because the trans was slipping. They were going to do an estimate for around $250 but it would be "free" if I got the work done there. Whatever. The first estimated guess for repair was around $1700. The final estimate after they looked at was $2520! I told them I didn't have that kind of money, please put it back together and I will consider trading it or something. They said if they put it back together I'm responsible for the $250 estimate plus the rental car cost for the day, oh, and the car won't run. It ran when I came in, but won't move now. That's how I was basically strong-armed into having it fixed there. I felt backed into a corner with no choice. I took out a signature loan for $2500 on which I'm still paying. Lo, and behold, less than 20,000 miles later, the trans is slipping again!!! I am now working with an attorney and a mechanic that is a friend of the family to get my car fixed at no charge. If I end up pursuing legal means with the attorney, I will notify the ones who have asked to be contacted so we can consider a class action arrangement. Please wish me luck as I'm a single mom with a young daughter starting college and we live paycheck to paycheck. Pros: none Cons: Ripped me off! Overchrged, Tranny slipping again!

The bottom line is these are NOT the "good folks" as they advertise. That man who works the front desk (I think his name is Gus?) is no a trustworthy person. Do not do business with this man or this business. They will take you for a ride and take your money. They practice holding vehicles hostage for ransom. I was forced into having work done that I didn't have the money to pay for. When I mentioned I wanted a second opinion about my so called neccessary repairs, this man starting yelling at me over the phone and called me an idiot and told me I had no choice but to have the work done at his shop becuase if I didn't allow him to do the work he said he would put a mechanic's lien on my car and put it up for sale. He told me he was going to get his money one way or another. I am very disappointed with this business and I hope this review will prevent other people from becoming victims of his ransom practices. Don't go there! Cons: unethical business practices

These guys must suck the BBBs a$$ in order to keep their good standing. My car broke down 1 May(thurs) while driving from TX to MD. These crooks guaranteed a me a FREE rental car through hertz. They also promised that i would be out by friday at sunset. Needless to say 3 engines and 2 weeks later I was out of there with clunking engine, $3000 lighter and more crap than when i showed up. Not to mention that the owner GUS held my car hostage and forced me under distress to take the bill for the rental car, over $500. DO NOT GO TO THESE GUYS. If you love your money and your emotional well being. I WARN ANY NEW CUSTOMERS DO NOT GET SCAMMED!!!
