Spent $2300 for rebuild of trans. Trans worked flawlessly, but it leaked. Returned it four times thinking how hard can it be to fix a leak?
They broke the transmission chasing the leak. Kept it for a over a week while they tried to fix it and couldn't. Finally replaced much of the transmission internals and got it running.
My interior carpeting on the driver and passenger side, was covered with grease from their shoes, as was the velour seat, so after a day of carpet cleaning and scrubbing, I noticed, hey, its still leaking, so back it went.
After the fourth return without them able to correct the leak the previous three times, I told them I didn't want it back until it didn't leak. Kept it and four days later they said it was good, so I took it home.
There I noticed that they had failed to put the wheel cover back on the passenger side, so I had to go back yet again, and pick up the cover. That is when I noticed that two of the five lug nuts on that wheel were not just loose, but almost falling off the studs. Such a safety issue, its not funny.
Oh, and did I mention that it still leaks? Yep. According to my garage floor, each leak was from a different location on the trans, and now, six weeks later, the original leak is still there.
A little hint for all repair shops. If someone says ""it only does it after you drive it, or let it site for a few days"" you need to drive it, and let it sit for a few days to prove that the problem is solved. Just slapping in a new gasket that you -think- was leaking, and sending the car home, is the wrong approach. Customers should not be the testers of your repairs.
The owner is friendly, the manager is well versed. Perhaps its the other workers who lack the skills, but I recommend that you find some other place to get such an expensive repair done. To be able to rebuild so complex a transmission, and then be unable to stop a leak, tells me a lot about the skill set of whomever did the work.
Pros: Friendly, courteous
Cons: Can't do the job
