John & his crew at both American Transmission & Ernies Transmission are absolute miracle workers. My husband & I were having a hard time getting any kind of progress done at another shop down the street (West Coast Tire & Auto). WCT&A took nearly two months to diagnose a failed smog code & nearly another month to do any additional work despite having the part in their possession. We desperately needed our truck back for various reasons. One of them being that because WCT&A took so long, we started incurring registration penalties (yes, they knew!) I called American Transmission & spoke w/ John. He told me he could have our transmission installed the same day! John is a man of his word & worth his weight in gold. John & his crew of transmission technicians works more in three hours than WCT&A did in three months! John & his crew at Ernies Transmission worked a miracle. They had the transmission in & back to us w/in the same day! Blew our minds. We definitely recommend John & his crew at both American Transmission & Ernies Transmission.

Ernie is full of crap!!! I called him and told him about what my truck was doing, gave him the make and model and he said to bring it in. I took the truck in and he said that wasn't the truck I told him it was. It's my truck I know the make and model. I was like ok maybe it was just a miscommunication.He convinced me he could fix it in three days and he would call me the next day to tell me what the problem was. Two days went by no phone call so I called him and he said he hadn't started working on the truck but he will get it on the lift the next day. Same thing waited 2 more days and nothing from him. I called again to see what was going on and he acted like I was bugging him and that's why he hadn't started on the truck. But same thing he said he would start it the next business day. Ok I'm getting the run around by this joker. Another week goes by I called him to see what's up and again he still hasn't started working on the truck but he said he was putting it on the rack while we were on the phone. I got off work and drove by just to make sure it was getting started on and it was still parked on the street so I took my keys and took my truck elsewhere. He is a liar and will tell you anything just to get you off of the phone. All could have been simple if he would have just told me the truck was too big for his shop and that he didn't have time to work on it. I would have been fine with that and just taken it somewhere else. He just waisted two weeks for nothing. And this is my daily driver.

Went to the shop today and Ernie the owner first said he didn’t speak Spanish which is totally fine so we spoke in English then I asked if he could fix my car and he said he didn’t fix BMW’s and I asked why and he said bc the people that have those cars can’t afford to pay to get them fixed and we could barely make the Payments. My car is totally payed off thank you!!

Ernie and staff are really nice, friendly and explain to me information I needed to know about my car. I like to get service in the town I live in and I will be going there for transmission needs.

Man on the phone was very rude. Talked over me and would not let me get out what make and model of car I owned. He was obnoxious and rude. He treated me like I was stupid and did not know what I was talking about. Would not recommend at all!!!

I took my vehicle here with Ernie mainly because all he's good reviews but only to find out he's a crook! kept my car for a few days to tell me what I told him was wrong, then he charged me $200 dollars for dumping my transmission fluid and refilling back into it and he talks a good one on how he writes novels on old cars his fixed, he explained that his diagnostic machine couldn't read any codes and wasn't equipped to make proper diagnostic and determination even without opening up my transmission to see if he could fix it so this is what happened to me those days my vehicle was at Ernie's transmission Shop please make sure you personally know this guy before he rips' you off to he's the biggest B" ersI've ever come across and I am yet find a good mechanic her in Merced.Service: Transmission

Share reviewEmbed reviewWrite an updateEdit review 8/6/2020Updated reviewI live in Merced after researching for and honest transmission place I found this place to have the best reviews overall, I have a 9 year oldcar with almost 124k, after recently changing the transmission fluidswith OEM parts my car wouldn't shift from first gear correctly, Soafter calling several trans shops in Merced I decided to go withErnie's Transmission Shop, when I first called Ernie himself answeredand explain vehicle wasn't shifting correctly he said junk it, its aforeign car and usually don't work on those but call me next(take all this into consideration that I am thinking man be hide the phone has 30 year's experience in tranny's) he told me $85 to diagnostic justcheck it out took in on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday went by no call from Ernie, On Monday I call Ernie didn't answer because he was calling me to tell me it was 2 quarts low and that each quarts was $30 dollar'seach but that wasn't it and that he needed to take apart the trans axlesto see if he could find why it wasn't shifting while long story short thiswriting articles in the news paper about how to maintain your vehicle and put less wear and tear so you would have bring in to him because he maybe good at fixing old models from 2000 and down but as for imports don'twaste your time this man is a good talker but doesn't put he's money were is mouth is least on newer cars's he ended up charging me $200for 5 days wasted possibly storage fee would of sounded more legit then this service, so please be really sure and make him sign he'll fix your car if not he'll end up charging storage fee and nothing will be done to your car, Oh and Ernie write articles on what you've fixed not raced when you were 13 year's old
