Very Polite, able to set it up so it worked on my day off. Asked for the VIN number to make sure he had the correct parts prior to bringing in. Appreciate the professional aspect and happy with the work. Less than what the dealership was going to charge for maintenance. I highly recommend them.

Finding a reliable and professional mechanic can be a process when you have an older vehicle that needs love in the right spots, i found these guys through google and gave them a shot based on the reviews i read. I was given calls for every procedure they wanted to do, for parts needed to be ordered, faults they found; i got to the point to where i trusted the work they felt was necessary and let them make the decision, i was still called to verify. Rick, Brett and the rest of the team handled a laundry list of work in a very reasonable amount of time. diagnosing problems as they would occur and dumbing it down to my level. i dont write reviews often, but im 2k miles in with no faults, issues or concerns. i abuse my truck, rev it out, throw it in 4x4 in mud and it is now rock solid. if youre looking for a main mechanic to trust, these are your guys. you may be paying a little more but buy once cry once. you wont be disappointed. Thanks guys

Well, I'll tell you what...is your car sad, worn out, used and tired just like your love life? No need to fret, just have those calender models over at Trans Masters fix up your ride. Not only have they thoroughly fixed whatever issues my vehicles may have, but they also repair other things that may end up causing issues in the long run, just like my ex-wife. Unlike the demon I married though, I'm absolutely thrilled about hopping in my truck and taking it for a muddy spin after these guys give it the Trans Masters touch.

They said they would check my turbo for free then made me sign something saying they would only charge me if they cant fix it. Then i call and they say my part is going to be $800 more then it normally costs. I asked why and he says “well tax & shipping, im like what $800 for tax and shipping what are you talking about?? They dont know what they are talking about…They must be outsourcing parts…I also asked for a oil change and they didnt even work on it. They did the most minimal work they could do, not a good deal here.

I don’t write reviews, but this was a positive experience I have to share. A fellow hot rodder highly recommended TransMasters auto care in Escondido. I needed my annual transmission service on my 700r4. Before I made the appointment I did some research about the business. They have a passion for repairing and improving performance vehicles such as, your hot rod, classic’s, drag racing cars, off road vehicles and your daily driver. I meet with the owner, Rick Frye Jr. and the head mechanic, Brett. I could see amongst the shop array of different types of vehicles in different stages of production, I knew my classic would be in good hands. I made the appointment to have my transmission serviced. With over 110,000 plus miles on my classic, I requested the following services as well.Vehicle inspection-chassis lubrication, check all fluids, belts, hoses, brakes and tires. Drain & fill differential, replace spark plugs. Diagnose driver side power window (eventually replacing the motor)Front brakes rotors needed to be machined and new brake pads. Replaced rear Axle seals & Bearings. My second appointment, I had the differential rebuilt and replaced a leaking fuel line and installation of a new sending unit to the gas tank. Both Rick and Brett were very professional and customer service oriented as well as courteous.Thank you.Services: Transmission

I chose this shop because they know their stuff and they have proven there worth mating my 1939 Dodge 3spd OD trans to the 1953 Dodge 230 flathead 6. The setup works great in my 1933 Dodge DP6.I suggest you give these guys a try, they have proven they know their classic setups and hot rod setups.

Rick and his staff could not have been better. Our 1992 Toyota needed a new transmission which is no longer made. Through their contacts they were able to locate a rebuilt transmission. We were over joyed to have our car back and running like new!BobService: Transmission
