First off I'm a female, so this might make me a potential target for rip off shops, etc. Anyway, here's my story.
It felt like my transmission was slipping so I took my car to a transmission place in the bronx (they had decent reviews on google places) on Boston Post Road. They told me it was definitely slipping and just to open it up to see what the problem was would be $500, then on top of that would be the cost of repair....whatever that would end up being.
I looked at the reviews on here and decided to go to Haji Auto for a second opinion. Surprisingly, he told me nothing was wrong with my transmission. I was just very very low on transmission fluid. He filled the car with fluid and charged me very little....don't even remember the amount.
The owner told me to never ever do a big job on my car without a second or even a third opinion. Shortly after I realized that the fluid must be leaking out. I took the car to a local auto shop and they charged me just over a $100 to fix the leak....it was some type of hose that was leaking.
I would definitely recommend Haji and I would go there again.
