Certified Transmission

I took my car here after getting a number of recommendations for a good mechanic to do manual transmission work. The Toyota dealership I first went to had diagnosed a transmission problem and quoted me a little more than $4,000 to replace it. That seemed astronomical, so I began to look around for a better option, and Certified Transmission was highly recommended by everyone I talked with, and in all reviews I found on the internet. Certified made an appt for me, confirmed the diagnosis, and gave me a quote that was about $1,500 less than the dealership. They also told me that the clutch, while not completely gone, would be cheaper to replace at the same time. Since a good friend had given me the same advice, I decided to have both things worked on. The total amount-- which included a new clutch--was about $1,250 less than the dealership. As a woman, I was especially pleased at how well I was treated. I had done my research before going in, including a crash course on what a transmission was from my mechanical friends, so I had a pretty good idea that the owner was being straight with me. His diagnosis confirmed what I had found on the internet about my particular model of car--a problem others had had with this car. He was very reassuring about the repair work and that my car was worth the cost. It now runs as well as it did when it was new, and the clutch works great (and I can tell how bad the old one was because this one is so much better!). They even offer a free 2-week review to make any necessary adjustments, so I took it in this morning to have that done. I was very pleased with the work done on my car. I am confident I will get many more years of road trips out of it. I highly recommend them!
