Transmission Repair in Gulfport, MS

“They were polite, prompt and pointed out other items that bear watching but didn't pressure me to spend more money. They put my new tires on and balanced them very quickly. I will go back to them!”

“Love the Rice Patch. Today was my first time taking my car there. I have a 2016 Honda Civic that was beginning to be a little sluggish when trying to crank it. In fact, one day it did not crank so I turned the key off, gave it a minute before trying again and then it did crank. I knew I was a little past the third year on my battery which was a 3 to 5 year battery. The car was not always kept in a garage and experienced pretty excessive summer heat every year. I took it to an auto parts place first where they used a meter to check the battery along with other things and everything they checked with the meter “passed” yet the cranking was still just a tiny bit sluggish and I was worried I might end up getting stranded somewhere so I took it to the Rice Patch. They tested the battery and recommended replacing it, which is what we did and the car cranks quickly now like it used to. They didn’t try to upsell me and they were patient with my questions and generous with their time. Hopefully this solves the problem but if anything occurs in the future I will not hesitate to take my business to the Rice Patch. Oh, and it cost me less for this visit than it did purchasing my previous battery (which was comparable) at a battery shop in Houston, Texas over three years ago. I expected to pay quite a bit more than I paid.
Lastly, in the waiting area they had a display with various artwork done by one of the mechanics. They had several of these cute little crosses he made with various brightly colored craft wire. I purchased this red one with a heart base. Love it!”

“Highly Recommend! The service I received at Sellers Automotive was great! Doug, the owner, was professional, respectful, and very open to discussing all my questions. His mechanics were friendly and efficient. I have finally found an automotive shop that I can trust! I will be back and recommend them to everyone.”

“My experience with this facility is varied. It's a home-style, mom-and-pop business, not bound by rigid checklists or formal processes. They diagnose the issue and then discuss repair options with the customer. The owner, David Buchanan, is a confident and attentive listener, and his certified mechanics are very experienced in efficiently diagnosing and repairing transmissions. I have presented a jeep with certain transmission problems induced by Firestone of biloxi: its one thing to totally build it to brand new with a costly pay tag, versus common sense to diagnose, and fix the component that's bad. Now, my 2007 Lincoln town car is on the block: lets see what happens next: a $2700.00 total rebuild, or a $40.00 dollar TCM modular replacement. You people who read this, take heed: workplaces like this only exist in corporate hell: this group is for the customer.”
