Buyer beware. This is a terrible shop. Father and son operation - Pete Cordero/Steve. Last December 2022 my automatic transmission blew out. Initial phone conversation with Steve the son. I brought my vehicle down 12/15/22. They kept my car for over one month. I understand the holiday time off. They do not communicate regarding timeline.There were other mechanical issues brought to my attention. I agreed to have them it at the same time since they are replacing my transmission.Very poor communication.Unprofessional. The father has a very bad temper and used profanities to threaten me. He should NOT be in business because he cannot deal with people.Steve observed that my CV boots are torn and needs replacement. I need him to advise me whether we should replace at the same time. He decided that it was NOT important to do so in December 2022. Fastforward to June of this year when I need it replaced. It will cost me $1000. Their advice will COST me $1000.If this was done at the same time it would have been only a minimum charge for the part. I paid over $5000 for these items:Transmission replacementAlignmentAxle shaft assembly -remove and installStay far away from this place for any work. There are plenty of reputable shops.

My transmission went out while traveling through Pleasanton on a Sunday. We had the van towed to this shop based on their good Yelp reviews. The whole process was simple and pleasant. I got a competitive price and had them proceed with the work. While the work was being done I contracted pneumonia and ended up in the hospital. Well, I didn't end up because I survived, but you know what I mean. This put a delay of a few days on my paying and a few weeks on my picking up the van. They were supportive and didn't give me any hassle even though they were inconvenienced. These are good people and I'll use them again.

My car died twice in one week - I called at 9 am in a Thursday. By 1130 they had checked out my car, replaced the battery and I was on my way home. Fast and friendly service!

I highly recommend Pleasanton Transmission & Automotive to anyone in need of transmission and auto repair. I was at work when I noticed a leak under my truck and figured out it was coming from the transmission cooling lines going to the radiator. I googled the nearest transmission shop near me and was lucky enough to be close to Pleasanton Transmission and drove over there. Pete, the owner, was kind enough to take a quick look to diagnosis the problem. Luckly it was just fittings needing to be replaced and wouldn't take long. I couldn't leave my truck there, so he made sure it was safe to drive and we set an appointment the next morning. When I arrived, Pete got my truck in immediately and fixed it. Not only did Pete accommodate my schedule he did it for less than the original estimate. I cannot say enough good thing about Pleasanton Transmission & Automotive. Not only is Pete excellent in his field of auto repair but also sets the gold standard in how he conducts his business and treats his clientele. You will not regret going here.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

Called because he was the closest shop when my 3year old Chevy started leaking coolant. Steve answered the phone ( star 1), told me he would look at it right away (star 2). When I arrived he pulled a truck off the lift and put my car up and diagnosed a leaky radiator (star 3), offered to give me a lift home while he checked for part and did an estimate(star 4), called me a couple hours later with cost to repair and told me it was probably still under warranty so call the dealer (star 5). Car was under warranty so I picked it up to drive to the dealership and he didn't charge me anything! (Star 6)! Wish I could give 6 stars!!!

I had an emergency situation with my car light that needed to be fixed for a DMV test. No place was able to help me. They all said to book in advance. But then I found Pleasanton transmissions & automotive. Pete took me in immediately and sorted out the problem. In a blink of an eye I was done and on the road to the Dmv. I was so grateful for all his help. Very down to earth and respectable. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs work done.Service: Electrical

This review is LONG past due!! I'm super forgetful and get busy and life takes over. My apologies guys. Pete and his son fixed my baby. I drive a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T PLUS, manual transmission. And I play hard in that beast. It took a lil bit for me to get use to the new clutch (stalled in the parking lot as I left that was the only time) but wow so much fun again! Pete is exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. I trust Pete and his work. I admire the family biz. They were extremely responsive and the work was swift and smooth. The value this shop holds is immense. I feel very grateful to have found this shop. And it makes me happy to support my community and giving business where it's deserved.

I would recommend Pete to anyone. His work was excellent rebuilding my F-150 transmission, and I have since used him since for other repairs. He is a talented and caring business owner. Great guy and great mechanic!Services: Transmission

These guys were awesome. In preparation to leave California forever, I needed some things fixed on my Toyota Camry for a worry free road trip, so I hopped on over here and they were able to order parts and have me on my merry way within a matter of hours. Efficient, professional, kind, honest, fair prices and based on our brief conversation about the state of the world - full of common sense. (It's a rarity these days.) Another added bonus- they have the sweetest pup that befriended me while I waited. Highly recommend for all of your transmission needs, and was very thankful they didn't try to take advantage of me for being a non car-savvy blonde. These guys are the real deal. A+ and thanks again.
