Disappointing Experience with Transmission Rebuild and Service
I had my transmission rebuilt by Bob’s Transmission shop about a year and a half ago, paying a total of $3200. Initially, everything seemed fine, but I began noticing a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear shortly after the rebuild. I was told by the shop that this was perfectly normal and not to worry about it. Despite feeling uneasy, I trusted their professional opinion.
Since the rebuild, I’ve only driven my truck for about 1,800 miles. However, during a recent trip out of town, I encountered a serious issue where my vehicle became stuck in second gear and would not shift higher, revving up to 4500 RPMs before I was able to let it cool down and temporarily return to normal function.
After this incident, I decided to take matters into my own hands and remove the oil pan to investigate. To my shock, I found two bolts from the valve body laying inside the pan, a clear indication that something was not right with the rebuild. This discovery only reinforced my concerns about the quality of the work done on my transmission.
When I brought the issue to the shop's attention, they once again assured me the hard shifting was normal. It became clear that I may have paid for a rebuild that was subpar and not properly addressed the issues I had raised.
In hindsight, I feel that my experience was frustrating and costly. Despite spending a significant amount of money on what I thought was a professional service, I am left with a transmission that still isn't functioning as it should. I would strongly recommend potential customers to carefully evaluate their options before trusting this shop with critical vehicle repairs.
I hope this review helps others avoid the same disappointment and unnecessary expense I’ve faced.

What a lifesaver! I was headed south from Oregon when my Transmission went BAD. I asked around and was pointed to Bob's Transmissions. He got me a new Transmission and changed mine out. This took some time and energy on his part to get one for a 2005 Dodge Dakota 4WD. He completed the task in a timely manner and my truck runs, shifts, and gets better mileage than it ever has. I got a thorough test run because I live in Central Oregon and drove it home from Red Bluff, CA. It worked perfectly! Love it!

Bob is a straight forward, no nonsense kind of mechanic. Quick work on a problem I created. Very fair price, no padding. Clean shop, very open and inviting. All in all, will be recommending to any one needing reliable transmission work.
