They replaced the transmission on my sons car for us. They were very professional and kept us involved in the process and costs. The price was quite reasonable. I would highly recommend them if you need transmission work done.

Mike is the best. He is honest and trustworthy. I brought my car in for a second opinion about my transmission. He told me everything was good unlike the first shop who handed me an expensive quote for a new transmission.

I had my truck serviced at another mechanic. A few days later, the transmission fluid poured out of my truck. I dropped it off at A-1 not knowing what was wrong, but expecting an expensive bill. A-1 called to tell me my truck was ready for pick up. They informed me what the problem was. The transmission fluid was overfilled, which caused it to leak profusely. I walked in and they didnt charge me a penny. THANK YOU!! That is great service!!

I took a car my wife bought here to get it looked at. They were unbelievably helpful. They took time out of their day to help me diagnose the car and gave me a few courses of action. I felt the service was comparable to the 1950s service station when you would pull up to the pump and some guy would come out and fill the tank, check the oil, check the tires, clean the windows. Just friendly and personable and professional. Definitely getting my repeat business.

I highly recommend this auto body shop. My car had a problem that was beyond my knowledge. I dropped my car off and they quickly got back with an answer to what was wrong. I didnt have the money to pay right away, they fortunately allowed me to leave my car in their lot till I had the finances. A-1 fixed my car quickly and efficiently for a very fair price. My car works like new. The employees and the owner was also very kind and communicated very well, which I most definitely appreciated.Theyve definitely got my business and would refer them to anyone needing help.

My GMC 2500HD truck was showing signs of transmission issues days before my family and I were getting ready to haul our 40ft travel trailer to Spokane for relocation. Brought my truck to A1 Transmission to have them check it. Turns out to be internally damaged. I had to be in Spokane in a matters of days and A1 Transmission was made known to my situation. They went above and beyond to have my truck ready with a rebuilt transmission for our move. I know now we can be sure to get to where we need to go with our trailer in tow. They also updated my transmission cooler with a bigger one. Thank you too everyone at A1 Transmission.

Review №16

I’d like to start with this, I NEVER leave reviews. Ever!!! But A1 deserves one. They are super friendly, quick and know what they are doing. They did not try to up sell me on anything and they were honest about everything. My car was running super rough with an issue that was rare and hard to replicate. They scanned the pcm turned out to be a simple TPS sensor. The tech who helped me showed me on his scanner the numbers that were messed up. I had purchased a new one and installed it myself. He then re scanned it for me to confirm that this was the fix and it sure was. To my surprise they did not charge me a dime for the inspection. These are honest to god mechanics/transmission specialists who are here for the customer. And super military friendly I might add. If my car ever had any transmission issues or anything involving any kind of service A1 offers, they are the first place I would take it to!

Never went. It took well over a week and lots of excuses before I finally got my quote that was $2500 over 3 other quotes.

Review №18

I would not recommend this buisness.they broke our dash, they did not plug in the O2 sensors and did not put any of the nuts back on the exhaust flanges. Then refused to look at it and repair it. We had to take our car to another shop and have it repaired. This plus sucks.

The guys at A1 Transmission were great! Took my trailblazer in for a rebuild, the quote was fair and the military discount was much appreciated. Haven’t had any issues with their work to date and best of all, they will periodically contact me to ask how my truck is running. Would definitely return, thanks again A1!

I took my GMC van to replaced rear left & right bearing The owner Tom Davis give me an extra discount, besides the the15% military discount. Reason was I have to wait another extra 30 minutes, but actually the military discounts is more than enough. I also took my Nissan for transmission drain & fill and they did an excellent job for both vehicle. I also want to thank Ray and the young guy that performed a complimentary checked on my brakes. I highly recommend A1 Transmission for all your car services.

Went here on with a Groupon. They were helpful and honest about my brakes. Went to replace front brakes, they checked my back brakes as well and didnt like to be and tell me they were bad too like some other places Ive been. They even replaced my headlight lamp, moving charge. I am a woman who is always looking for car people who are honest and not trying to take advantage of me.

Tom, the owner, is always willing to listen and help with your problem. They do excellent work and have saved me hundreds of dollars on my repairs. I had an issue with my Dodge truck and another shop wanted thousands to fix it. The part was $150 and they had me up and running the same day. Kudos Tom and Ray

Review №43

Very dishonest dont even come near this place. Let me share my story so you draw your own conclusions. I brought in my 05 dodge magnum due to a rough iddle and check engine light. They said the passenger side tie rod needed replacement and the transmission needed service. I knew about the tie rod so I have them changed it. I also agreed on servicing the transmission since I never done it in the three I had this vehicle. A few hours later they called and told me they found water in the transmission and that the AC condenser was causing the leak. They wanted to take down the transmission and replace the condenser. I said not to mess with the transmission and just have a new condenser install. I got my car back and noticed the rough iddle was not as bad but it was still there. Brought it back in. They said it was the spark plugs and a coil. I agreed in the replacement of those parts. Got the car back again and drove it for about ten miles. Next day I try to drive it and the car wont shift. I noticed it leaked all the transmission oil, so I called them brought the car back in I was so pissed. They fixed the oil leak but guess what? The rough iddle and check engine light are back. I spend little over $1400 for a bunch of head aches and really nothing done.

Best experience Ive ever had dealing with an auto mechanic shop. They quickly and accurately diagnosed the exact problem with my transmission, explained all my options and associated costs, and gave me their best recommendation.They found a perfectly good transmission with only 30k miles on it from a scrap yard and only charged about $800 for the labor and replacing the transmission (including %15 military discount). They also fixed another small issue for half price that lakewood transmissions quoted me for the same fix.They also did the entire transmission replacement in less than a day. I dropped it off in the morning and they had it rubbing like brand new that same afternoon.Cant say enough good about them. Straight shooters, kept it simple, honest, great price, and quality work.(Dont waste your time like me dealing with lakewood transmission. They completely mis-diagnosed my issue and quoted pretty expensive prices. Poor customer service and overall very disappointing experience. )

Complete scam artists. Bought the brake set groupon. Took my brakes off. Charged me for new brakes and a speed sensor. Just had it confirmed they just paimted my brakes and put them back on.Now the guy refuses that hes ever had me in his shop. Even though i have a $130+$50 (groupon) charge on my debit to his store. I have pictures. Of inside his store. But ive never been there.

Review №51

(I wrote this review on Yelp! but wanted to make sure it was on Google as well)I bought a deal on Amazon Local to get my front brakes done on Feb 14th. When I got the voucher I called and set up an appointment for Mar 7th. The gentleman on the phone was nice. So far so good.The day before I was supposed to go in to get the brakes fixed they called me at 3pm and I wasnt available to answer and couldnt call them back during normal hours of operation. I showed up the next morning at 10am for the appointment. The guy at the front desk said he tried calling to let me know brake jobs were taking 2-4 hours since the machine shop they send the rotors to was lacking in workers. They had called the machine shop and let them know they were running this promotion a month ahead of time so they could schedule accordingly for a bit higher volume of customer but the machine shop I guess ignored it. Not that big of a deal, wish they could have let me know a bit sooner than the day beforehand since they had already been running into this issue but I was able to borrow someones car for a while so we didnt have to sit at the shop all day. The guy also let us know the owner had authorized them to sell the rotors at cost if they were not able to be resurfaced and instead needed to be replaced (ours were $90 a piece).I ran around for a little while with my husband and son while they had our car thinking it would only be for a few hours. At about 1pm we got a call that the rotors were too run down so we had to replace them. We gave the OK and waited a bit longer. 3pm rolls around, nothing. We were driving back to try and avoid traffic so we stopped in and they told us that they had ordered the wrong rotors (our car is a 2002 but was manufactured in 2001 which threw them off when ordering the parts) so they had to send them back and juuuuuust got the right ones in. It would take them an hour to put the car back together. I had to call and cancel an appointment I had at 4:30pm since I knew I wasnt going to be able to make it. So we stayed in the area and hung out for over an hour trying to kill time, still nothing. We drove by and the car was sitting there, done in the parking lot and no one had bothered to call to let us know.My husband swung in to pay. The first guy we had dealt with and another guy were in the office arguing, didnt even acknowledge he was standing there with his card out ready to pay. When they finally stopped arguing, the front desk guy explained that we needed more work done on the car including the rear brakes that needed to be replaced anywhere from 3 months to a year depending on driving condition, while the guy he was arguing with before chimes in with Just tell them they have 3 months! Didnt you go over this with them already? which turned into another argument between the two. My husband paid and left. The sunroof was open when he had gotten in the car as well and we definitely didnt need to open the sunroof at 10am in the morning when we dropped it off. Checked the mileage on the car and there was two additional miles which could have been freeway driving to check the brakes since they were right off of the exit. We actually got home at around 5pm-ish.Now the first guy we spoke to was really nice and courteous, except in the case where he was arguing with the other guy in the office. We tried to be really understanding about the situation with the machine shop (that was out of their control) and having to replace the rotors (again nothing they could do about it) but after spending our whole day waiting to get our car back, having to cancel appointments, lack of communication on what was happening and passing by to see our car was done and sitting in the lot without receiving a call and no apology or an attempt to make things right we will not be going back there and do not recommend anyone go there to get work done.
