Cardinal Transmission Service is a highly recommended and honest shop. The business is known for being professional, knowledgeable, and taking pride in doing the job right the first time. Customers report a straight-up, good old-fashioned business approach with no hidden charges. The owner takes time to thoroughly explain problems, necessary repairs, and provides fair and accurate estimates, with work often completed within the quoted time window. The shop expertly services transmissions and drive trains, resolving issues like rough shifting and overheating. They are also informative in diagnosing problems, even when the issue is not transmission-related, and will provide good referrals to other trusted repair shops. Service is described as efficient, with repairs sometimes completed in just one day for a huge amount less than expected. Customers from Houston, Austin, and San Antonio find it worth traveling to Columbus, Texas, for the exceptional service, honesty, and integrity that is hard to find in bigger cities. Many state they will not take their vehicles anywhere else.
Spoke with Brad by phone about transmission issues on 2018 Ford Expedition. He spent 15 mins talking very transparently about price and timeline to fix, very knowledgeable and friendly. Offered a referral to another shop if I needed something quicker- he is a straight shooter.
