The team at fosters was very helpful with out vehicle, our transmission went out and they did a check on it to find out what was wrong and explained everything. We have decided on an alternate route in solving our car issue, but Fosters team was extremely helpful and if we need help again we will be returning.Service: Transmission

I had my transmission fully rebuilt and upgraded on my 1999 Ram 3500. The work was fantastic and the people were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this shop and will definitely be a repeat customer for any transmission needs in the future.Service: Transmission

My experience with Foster Transmission and Repair was very unsatisfactory. Two years and 15,000 miles ago Foster Transmission & Repair rebuilt the transmission on my truck. I approached Richard Foster about an issue with my ability to shift gears smoothly as I had been able to do immediately after he did the repair work. I drove in from St. Louis (95 miles) to discuss the issue and the first thing he did was point to the 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty clause on his invoice and informed me that I was outside the warranty and he wouldn't cover the cost of any repairs. I argued that my first transmission lasted over 203,000 miles and I was already having issues after only 15,000 miles since he worked on my transmission. Richard than stated that the problem must be the clutch master cylinder (a $65 part) but he refused to do any testing or problem solving. When I suggested that I would take the matter to court he became very irate and told me that I did not matter to him and to leave the premises. His wife then called the police. Maybe he thought since I lived in St. Louis he could get away with his unprofessionalism, but he clearly doesn't stand behind his work.

Want in there to have my odometer read to register my car. They did so without an appointment and it was real cheap. Highly recommend the staff and services.

Baylee Stieferman and Cedar Deraps (C Paul)Baylee -Thank you for your review, it got us a new customer today because he said he agreed with how we handled your situation.What we told you was if you didn’t trust our work last year to fix it for you, you won’t trust our work this year and you should take it back to the shop that fixed it for you last year and tell them you are still having problems.We honor our warranty and usually go past it if we believe it was something we caused.We did apologize to you and explained that we are far behind with customers that have entrusted us. Richard was not rude. Just honest and upfront. It's a no-win situation for us to try to fix a job that another shop did.Sorry you are upset, but we take great pride in our excellent reputation and we want to have that trust upfront. Not after you're dissatisfied with another shop.Cedar Deraps (C Paul)It is a common misconception among Google warriers that a fluid and filter change will fix an internal transmission issue. It is a temporary fix to an imminent problem. Transmission fluid that has turned dark is caused by an internal issue and will only get you a few more miles. Richard has been doing transmissions for nearly 40 years - so he knows his stuff - and we’ve seen it many times throughout the years. A 4-day wait for us to check your transmission is minimal - we typically run 3-4 weeks behind, so we do stay on schedule as much as humanly possible.Thank you both!

We had recieved a quote to rebuild a transmission over two years ago. We ended up not going with them due to some circumstances. Today (6-9-23) I went there because my transmission started to act up and I needed advice. They turned me away because they "don't play games" and apparently have enough business without us. Do not recommend. It's one thing to not want to help me because I didn't go with them the first time, but they do not need to be rude and nasty about it. Very unprofessional.

Well, my old 'BOSS' Cadillac is over 30 years old and will need a transmission rebuild at some point. Upon my talk with Foster's Transmission i felt it was a task that i could trust them easily handling!

A few months ago my wife’s 2014 Dodge Durango left us stranded on the way to Hermon. I had it towed to Foster’s to have them look it over. After being there for 4 days they finally called me back and told me a transmission line had broke and it was shot. After quoting me a replacement for over $5000, which I declined. They charged me $50 for their professional opinion. I had it towed back home. I went online and bought a replacement line and filter pan. After educating myself with a few uTube videos I changed everything out. And here I am driving around 4 months later with no issues. Needless to say I am disappointed…

I have gone to Fosters for many years. He is the only mechanic I trust with my vehicles. If he says a part needs to be replaced, I trust his recommendation. He is fair and stands behind his work. I would recommend him to everyone.

Our transmission went out over an hour away and I had it towed here on the recommendations of several people at work and within my neighborhood. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were very helpful and friendly. The team did a fantastic job working on our minivan and we're very happy with the results!Service: Transmission

Foster's Transmission recently serviced my 2003 Grand Marquis by changing the transmission oil and filter and charged less than their originally quoted estimate. They rebuilt the automatic transmission in my 1977 Silverado a year ago. I have been very pleased with them and have no reservations about endorsing them to friends, family and others.
