Sam and Mike were very rude and refuses to work on my car. They clearly don't know what they are doing and are clearly trying to scam people without doing any sort of work. You can go to any other local mechanic shop in St Louis and not be treated poorly. 0/10 stars

I can’t say enough about the excellent service and customer service! I was in and out. Up front with pricing so you know what to expect. Great locally owned shop!

10/10 would not recommend. I took one of my vehicles here for a simple transmission rebuild (2012 Silverado.) The owner and service advisor were nice, but they need to double check the type of work their technicians are letting out the door. While I was doing normal maintenance on the truck a few weeks later, I decided to take a peak around the transmission and it was very aggravating to see the job I was given.
1. My factory exhaust was cut to remove the transmission (which does not need to be cut, just faster for labor time) and tried to weld it back in place, which is now left with an exhaust leak. Picture attached.
2. The vent tubing was not reinstalled properly. Picture attached.
3. The transmission was over 1 quart low on fluid, dipstick tube was never reinstalled correctly, along with bell housing bolts loose.
4. A few months later I was stranded at work from my starter not engaging the flywheel. To find out there was a bolt missing and the other one was loose. (Starter is removed to remove the transmission) thankfully I was able to tighten the bolt that was there and get to the auto parts store.
5. Around 40k miles later the truck would not move in drive or reverse. I called and was told it only had a 3yr/36k warranty and basically just “sorry.”
I wasn’t going to post this review and just take this one as a loss but I’d hope someone reads this before taking their vehicle here. I imagine they just install transmissions from a reman supplier. This does not fix the known issues for these types of transmissions and leaves you stranded as I was. I thankfully found a reputable/knowledgeable transmission builder that got my truck back on the road in no time with a quality rebuild and great results.

They ran up my coverage and left me with a problem that wasn't even the issue at all I'm hearing noise for my transfer and transmission

I’ve wasted weeks with my car just sitting at this business. The men Sam & Mike just continue to lie and give me the run around. Def don’t recommend women trying to do business here! I took my business elsewhere where they wanted to actually work on my vehicle. Certified Transmission actually tried to charge me $9000 more than what I ended up paying. Took my business to Al’s in Edwardsville. Night & Day how much more educated and business minded Al’s is. I’m thankful I found a business that wanted to actually do the work and not make almost $10,000 profit!! Oh and the day Al’s received my car the got started working on it! Unlike certified Transmission who let it sit almost 3 weeks without a plan.

They will lie about the car being in good shape. Then when you test drive it and notice it has obvious transmission problems, they'll lie and say oh you just have put it in manual mode. Just lie like you're dumb. I guess they forgot there are people that actually are educated in vehicles.

So I want to start this review by saying I am not in the habit of bad mouthing or bashing any business or company. I do believe that right is right and wrong is wrong. I had my Ford F150 towed to Certified Transmission because I had a leak coming from under it and the truck would not shift into gear. Mike called me a day or two later and told me that I needed a new transmission. In my mind no big deal I have an extended warranty let’s get it fixed. However my extended warranty denied the claim. This is where Mike and those guys were awesome, he exhausted every option to help me. And gave me numerous options to help me pay for the transmission repair. He even took care to make sure there were no storage fees after repair was done. I was actually in between jobs and had just started a new job but needed my vehicle to do the job. After a week or two of trying to figure things out I was able to come up with the $6000.00 it cost to get my vehicle out. Again for that I thank them and am grateful. Here’s where the disconnect lies though after getting my vehicle back a day later I noticed a leak under my vehicle in the driveway. So I called spoke to Sam and he told me to bring it back up at which time he showed me something about the transmission cooler lines and said it would be about $400.00 and that’s on the generous end. I was frustrated to say the least because in my original statement I told them there was a leak, I mean it’s on the invoice. Mind you, I literally had to give up almost my entire first paycheck to get the $6,000.00. I couldn’t afford another $400.00 and all I asked was hey why do I have to pay for something I told you was an issue in the beginning. I wasn’t looking for a handout even asked could something be worked out can it be fixed and I pay the $400.00 within that next week even though I felt like I shouldn’t be charged for something I brought to your attention originally. I was told there was nothing they could do. Again not bashing but I definitely don’t understand how this is an issue that could not be worked out.

Spoke with Sam over the phone and told him of the issue with my vehicle. He got me in and out and was totally transparent about the issue with my transmission. The tech who serviced my suv was also very easy to talk with and too was transparent based on his knowledge and experience.

I couldn’t find any trusted shop to work on my hemi charger motor. Travis help me with the process of getting a remanufactured engine with warranty. This shop went above and beyond for me and my car. I truly appreciate travis and all the workers involved in getting me my car back up and running in a timely matter. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.?

Thanks Travis and Kevin and the team. I am very happy with the assistance that I received from this shop. They actually worked with me and the extended warranty company that I won’t name at the moment. I appreciate the help and finally getting my car repaired.
