Transmission Repair in Meridian, ID

“My transmission started going out me while towing in Wyoming. I was able to get to an Idaho Falls transmission shop for some quick repairs to get home. Once I got home I took my truck into Bobby’s. So far it’s running like new. Very professional and courteous.”

“Freaking awesome no bullcrap dealership. Really chill humble people Sterling sold me a truck for a really good price and you can tell they inspect the vehicles they sell. I finally bought a car after 3 years of searching because other big name dealerships just rip you off and these guys have great deals on their vehicles. Thank you guys for making this a stress free and fun purchase!”

“Justin is super great at the location off of McMillan. Very communicative, very helpful and just some honest guys. I will continue to bring my vehicles here due to the honest work and the fact that they do it right the first time. I’d rather have things take a little longer and be done right than rushed and wrong. Any gas vehicles I would definitely bring to this location or if you need an alignment done. However Jayce out at the location is Star is great with diesels and if you are looking to get any extensive work done on your truck, he would be the guy I’d trust to be working on my rig. Great group of guys with good morals!”

“This place is incredible. I live right down the street from them and had no idea they do everything! Every person I spoke to both on the phone and in person were so sweet and professional. I have never experienced an automotive shop that treats you with kindness and thoroughly explains the work they are doing so that you understand. I will be taking my car here for everything now as I found out they also do just oil changes too! The Subaru dealership was going to charge me WAY more. They are fair priced and finish the work quickly. Thanks guys!!!”

“I have a good experience with these guys so they're my go-to place for auto repair now. They may be a bit on the pricier side, but they do good work, and you get what you pay for. And they have a drop off and pick up box for after hours, which is good for me since I work a lot.”

“Pleased with finding DRIVEN auto repair. Had personal mechanic 15 years recently retired and referred me here. I found Steve on the phone who was quick to understand my need and get me scheduled in. Jason German was my mechanic and he was awesome. The usual “all over check” was performed and they came back with the list of things that could be fixed. They were not pushy whether I took them up on all of the recommendations, or none of them. They were open to fielding any questions, and their answers to those questions let me know they were invested in me getting done what I could get done and overall having a great experience with getting work done there. And that’s exactly what happened. A quick example would be that it was recommended I did a brake flush, and I inquired whether the brake line would be broken to flush out the caliper or somewhere else in the line, and when I’ve asked this question in the past, that other shops it always raises defenses - but they jumped right in with understanding why I was asking, and as it turns out, they actually do it the exact way I was hoping. My experience kind of went like that with everything. I also got the coolant flushed and had a power window regulator replaced, which was the original purpose for my going there. I will definitely be back. I am stoked to have made this connection!”

“Dad’s Garage is an awesome and friendly place. They did a fantastic job fixing my Ram and working on my teenage daughter’s car. Everything was fixed in a timely fashion and they are just great, helpful people!”

“Had problems with my spark plug wire, and they were able to get me in right away and fix it up same day at a fantastic price. Super professional and excellent service, would highly recommend and would absolutely do business with again. These guys are incredible”

“Had to make an emergency stop on my way home as my car was making aggressively loud knocking noises and spoke with Roger who kindly instructed I stop by, even though they were really close to closing time. They took care of my vehicle in a professional and compassionate way, I would highly recommend for services! Life savers with a positive experience! Thank you guys for the amazing help and personal attention to my vehicle situation!”

“I was very appreciative of the communication received throughout. I didn’t feel I was seen as a stupid female as I do at a lot of mechanic places. The work was done quickly and efficiently.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about John’s Auto Care Center and their incredible team—Manager Brendon, Assistant Manager Kevin, and the skilled vehicle technician who worked on our car. They were truly a blessing during an unexpected vehicle emergency.
While traveling and preparing to head back to California, our vehicle suddenly needed a new thermostat. Our first stop was the local Chevy dealership, where we were told the repair would take over five hours and that we’d have to leave the car for the entire day. That simply wasn’t an option for us.
By the grace of God, we called John’s Auto Care Center. Kevin answered the phone, and when I asked if they could replace a thermostat, he immediately said, “Absolutely—bring it on in.” From the moment we arrived, both Kevin and Brendon jumped into action. They quickly diagnosed the issue, confirmed it was the thermostat, and also recommended replacing the nearby sensor while they were in there. Their communication was clear, honest, and incredibly reassuring.
The repair was completed in less than three hours, thanks to the exceptional skill and efficiency of the technician who worked on our vehicle. Their expertise fully resolved our overheating and constantly running fan issues, allowing us to continue our trip back to California without delay.
Kevin, Brendon, and the technician were truly God-sent. Their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help during our time of need meant the world to us. A big thank you to the technician for doing such excellent work and getting us safely back on the road.
We are beyond grateful for the entire team at John’s Auto Care Center. Thank you all for taking such great care of us and our vehicle during an emergency!”
