Transmission Repair in Walnut Creek, CA

“we have been going to german sport for about 5 years and couldn’t be happier with their service. sergio and his team are thorough, communicative, conservative but honest with recommendations, and just overall lovely people to work with. our 2013 golf is still going strong with their care - thank you!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Derek and his team! I took my car in for a little rattle that ended up revealing a whole lot of issues with my clutch and transmission. Derek and technician Ha were great about updating me with information and photos of the problems, sourcing parts at the lowest possible cost to me, and working through issue after issue with my old system to make it new again. The car is running the best it ever has. I highly recommend this shop for any of your automotive needs!”

“I had a great experience at this auto shop, especially since it was my first time there. The service was fast, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them!”

“Adrian has been a very trustworthy and reliable mechanic for nearly five years now. I do my best to get my work done exclusively at his shop. His prices are extremely fair and he does great work. I highly recommend him!”

“Jose and Yolanda are always helpful, understanding, and informative, each in their own domain. The shop is clean and organized and instructions are succinct and followed to the degree that they are promised.”

“I’ll be honest: I brought my car in expecting the usual “we’ll call you with bad news” experience, and instead I left wondering if I’d accidentally walked into the friendliest place on earth. The welcome was warm, the service was clear, and I never once felt like I needed a translator for car jargon. They took care of everything, kept me in the loop, and my car felt like a million bucks when I got it back.

Honestly, the only downside is that I no longer have an excuse to avoid running errands. It’s a genuine relief to find a repair shop that treats you like a person and not like a walking wallet. I’m already planning my next unnecessary oil change just to say hi.”

“The neighborhood is blessed to have this honest business within reach. They are efficient and easy going. Imagine after years of being taken advantage of at Honda, to find a gem where the standard is integrity, kindness and stellar workmanship. What a lovely couple.”

“Where to begin..? TL:dr, buy and service here, Porsche and Volvo; and if you are new to Volvo like I was, be prepared to be impressed. These are solid folks, and they work with excellent products - here’s how I know:

Beginning with purchase, I needed something comfortable, reliable, and safe, for the regular long distance drives that my wife, and our two dogs do on a regular basis; between visits to the family house in South Lake Tahoe and checking in on aging parents in the Arizona desert, we rack up some miles. Martin Diefenbach is a legend in the world of air-cooled Porsches and I was fortunate enough to find myself conversing with him at a car meet one morning, and as luck would have it, he operates a boutique dealership in Walnut Creek, partnered with Antonio, who specializes in diagnostics and maintenance of Volvo Cars. I was originally thinking about an older Porsche Cayenne or possibly Macan, but my budget meant I would be buying a pile of compromises, even if I looked at Audi options; I had never considered Volvo, they simply weren’t on my radar

Martin and Antonio spent countless hours on the phone and in person, answering questions, demonstrating features, even lending me their personal vehicles, helping us finally land on The One, an XC60 T6 version, that checks all the boxes for us, proving an absolutely fantastic, trustworthy road trip companion

In optimizing it for winter use I added dedicated ice & snow tires, and I wanted to convert the hubs to studs, instead of bolt-style lugs, to simplify the swap back and forth with summer wheels & tires. This is where it becomes clear how the gang of technicians behind the scenes at Independent add immeasurable value to the Sales side. Unlike the usual pot-lot wholesaler, Independent offers lifetime of comprehensive care and maintenance, and they are excellent. After installing the aforementioned winter upgrades, and performing full spark plug & serpentine belt service for us, we immediately racked up half a dozen Tahoe trips, and a drive to the desert and back, thru a series of storms and blizzards

To say our Independent Volvo has performed well would be such an understatement, rather, it has proven to be the most comfortable, capable, and confidence inspiring Grand Tourer we could have asked for. More important though is the support, knowing that Antonio and his team, Juan, Ramon, and Savanah all get it. Volvo is a premium manufacturer and their products are designed to perform at a high level, and after several thousand miles through the most demanding conditions, thru areas where mechanical failure is simply not an option, I can wholeheartedly endorse that … assuming Independent Volvo Porsche Service & Sales is providing the support behind the scenes ~ thank you all once again! ?”
