Transmission Repair in San Antonio, TX

“Recently had my truck worked on at Beldens and my truck needed major repairs. It was towed in. And even though it was a stressful situation, I was reassured with peace of mind after speaking to Armando and Ben. The following week consisted of a bunch of phone calls and each time I spoke to Armando and Ben I always recieved excellent customer service. I had a lot of questions and different thoughts about the repairs and everytime we spoke the guys were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Excellent experience, excellent work completed. Thanks guys!”

“This is the 3rd time I have been back to this amazing business. I am 46 years old and have been in sales since 18 years old and I have seen it all, unfortunately almost everything in this life is a con or scam and the few good people that are left you’ll be lucky to meet one every 5 years. This company has more humility that I haven’t seen since the 1980’s running around with my parents. It all started when my son still in middle school took my Tahoe when me and his mom were asleep late at night without our permission of course. He had seen something on YouTube called a neutral drop. He had put the Tahoe in neutral and took the RPM up to 3,000 and then slammed the Tahoe into drive not only blowing the transmission but also the rear differential. When I told them how I make barely any money working at a Toyota supplier and that I had lost my job due to this; they were very compassionate and genuinely felt for me as all the employees there also have teenage sons. They helped me get financed even with not so good credit and gave me a price that made me feel extremely comfortable and grateful. A few years later my son had matured or at least I thought he did and I started allowing him to take the truck sometimes to spend time with his little girl friend. Unfortunately he actually ended up doing it again but a different way this time. This time he was racing some other kid from his school. Once again they were extremely compassionate about the situation and was as surprised as I was that this had actually happened again because we agreed we would have never done anything like this at that age but hey this is Generation Z were talking about. They had given me a even better price then before because I was a returning customer. The good news is, is now both my son and daughter are both United States Marines and the boy is doing quite well and been in 2 years already and has seen Europe/Japan and South Korea all by 22 years old. Now my daughter followed her brother and has been in less then a year and not long ago just made it to the fleet after Bootcamp/S.O.I/ and MOS school. She has a 2006 Chrysler 300C with 182,000 miles on it. We had recently replaced the engine because she was not paying attention to the heat gauge and a hose came off overheating the engine and blowing the heads.she had recently told me how much she needed her car because her base in ocean side California is the biggest Marine base in the world and that you can drive 15 miles and still be on base. Also that she had missed some important classes to obtain different licenses for her transportation job in motor-t. I did the research and found out that Chrysler 300’s transmissions usually go out around 150,000 miles. I told her your not going to like what I have to say but me as a dad in his right mind can not give you this car without rebuilding the transmission. I explained that it will go out and that people will take advantage of you because you’re a young woman and on top of that everything in California is more expensive than Texas.So I explained to Tony my concerns and what I was trying to do and since my daughter was serving our country they gave us a price that was impossible to pass up. Now I feel like we are practically family and my daughter is extremely happy. You see if I would have went anywhere else like AAMCO with a working transmission and asked them to rebuild it, they would have said they did and probably wouldn’t have because once that transmission is closed up how would you ever know and unfortunately that’s the world we live in and AAMCO is a horrible company along with many others. You see Gene Brown isn’t trying to get a customer for one day, they are trying to get a customer for a lifetime and I am proud to say I am now a lifelong customer and so will be my children and there children.”

“WOW !!...was the first thing I said when I saw my 2025 black Tacoma after getting the ceramic process done. The black color looks deeper and rich and looks better than when i saw it on the dealership showroom. I highly recommend Concours to anyone who wants top quality results.”

“As always (over 20 years), Alamo Heights Garage exceeded service expectations. Repairs were confirmed and communicated and when I needed help with transportation, they stepped up!”

“Great customer service! Got my brake pads changed. They needed to order the part. We set up an appointment the following week. Installed before having to pick up my kids from school ?”

“The service was great. Communication was great. Car runs great. I’ll definitely be back if needed and let people know where to take their car for honest professional advice and service”

“I have been with Premier 1 a little over a year. Very intelligent front of the house Mgrs. They connect with everyone in a rare caring way. I have an older 2015 Lexus and Lexus kept going higher in repairs and regular maintenance sadly in the extreme?..Mercy..It’s almost too expensive to own a car at all in these times. Even repair insurance is not that… undergirding in todo. Many exclusions of what isn’t covered like a scary carnival game. A lot of stipulation restrictions on repairs don’t you know. I’ve been counseled by 4 shops at intervals and Premier1 has very excellent advisor league Mechanical talents on timing of replace or repairs. ✨ They’ve helped with pricing when they could fairly too. I just took it to another shop to compare advice. Most items were taken off the list completely by a Senior repair advisor at Premier 1. One Senior Advidor and mechanic has two older Lexus one at 540,000 miles✨One global at 1.5 million miles. Like a space ship. Had a frightening dishonest experience elsewhere. Yes.. trust Premier 1… My car has never run this well even with Lexus. Even their oil they use is aiding this also. Nice to find trust and very rare talent at Premier 1 in all fine Employees there. ? Resa Bartlett”

“Excellent customer service! Beautiful, comfortable waiting area. Nothing but positive experiences from the moment I walked in the door. High ratings were absolutely earned. Found my new go-to service and repair shop. Thank you for taking such good care of my truck and for the HONEST feedback.”

“Everyone needs an auto shop they can trust. Gene Brown’s at Brook Hollow and 281 in my go-to. Cristobal Gutierrez runs the show. He and his team are dedicated to getting your vehicle repaired and they are not looking to get over on you.
I bought an old pickup for my son. They did a thorough inspection and figured out we needed new steering, upper and lower control arms, alternator, AC, flux capacitor, dilithium chamber, warp core (maybe not those last three). But Cris has the hook-up on parts and his guys don’t lollygag when it comes to labor. I will NEVER go anywhere else!”

“The experience was just like I expected it. The price and my questions were all answered. I will recommend this location to all of my friends. Thanks also for the Bibles being displayed.”

“Excellent service, Honest and very reliable. I’ve been taking my cars for many years and it is always very helpful and very reasonable. I highly recommend it!!”

“Price was very fair. Service was great. Communication was clear. They didn't give any scammy information and make stuff up. You'd be surprised how much they happens with shops.”

“Amazing experience!!! Took my 2017 Chevy traverse to get transmission rebuilt and got it in a timely manner, very affordable, great communication all around, worked with Darin senior from start to finish. Charged me a third of all other places at most. Highly recommend!!!”

“Erik was referred to us by my brother, and he did not disappoint. My husband's Bronco Sport had a cabin leak; a plant was growing on the passenger-side floor. We took the bronco back to McCombs Ford West, and they couldn't find the issue; instead, they blamed Safelite because we had the windshield replaced. Instead, McCombs Ford West charged us $200 for basically doing nothing. They handed us a bill for the cost to replace the carpet and replace the muffler; the cost would have been at least four grand.
We went to Safelite, and there was no issue with the windshield. Told my husband we are not giving money to McCombs Ford West, and we should get a second opinion. Erik and his team worked on the Bronco right away, showed us that nothing was wrong with the muffler, and then explained the possible sources of the leak. Erik communicated everything he did with the vehicle, called the extended warranty, recorded conversations, and went beyond, more than what McCombs Ford West did; they actually did nothing but collect money. Erik did not charge a get rich amount of money, he was very reasonable.
Erik and his team found the problem, fixed it, and explained what we could do next, since our extended warranty wouldn't cover anything. By the way, if you have an extended warranty, it's a waste of money. The extended warranty was purchased through McCombs Ford West.
Erik and his company have customers for life; we will no longer be taking our vehicles anywhere else. If you have a Ford vehicle, take it to Boerne Ford; they were excellent at helping us get the carpets replaced. Erik has a substantial background in vehicle maintenance.

Thank you, Erik and your team, for helping us resolve this issue.”

“Great experience from start to finish. I came in needing service and they got me taken care of fast. Fair pricing, knowledgeable technicians, and excellent customer service. This will definitely be my go-to auto shop.”

“Oh my goodness this place rocks!! Josh and Alex and Armando and John are superstars!! They made it happen and fixed my car for long drive to San Diego CA from Texas. Thanks for saving Christmas fellas you are such a blessing!!!! Love ya’ll!!!!”

“I received great service with a smile. They did a better job on my VW EOS then the dealer, and of course, at a much better price. I highly recommend Autobahn?”

“Lalo and his son Brandon were great and friendly to talk talk to, the tech that did the work, Jorge was easy to talk to and they all go the work done fast! They also ensured me everything was done correctly. I've been here twice now and would come back again for other repairs! super friendly service, great people, great work done! They also gave me a good price for my AC recharge and bundled in my oil change as well!

Thanks everyone at USA auto!”

“This company is very honest and transparent with any needed repairs. They stand behind their work and have very skilled technicians to quickly identify problems. The owner Matt and service manager Joe are very patient and explain what issues should be done for safety or could be done in the future. Don’t judge this place for its crowded location or because it doesn’t have a new showroom. This is an auto repair place you can’t trust and that is what’s important. Thank you Matt and Joe!”

“When my transmission blew on Chevy Tahoe, John and the guys at Option Transmission were able to rebuild it to save me money and they got it done in just a few days.

Since having it rebuilt months ago, I have ran this Tahoe on multiple extensive trips and drives out of state and back, taken it into offloading situations for some of my camping trips, and I’ve had to drive really fast for some emergencies on a couple occasions.

This rebuilt transmission has not slipped even one time since I got it back

I’ve also worked with them and so has my family over the years on other vehicles

Always quality work and extremely great people with integrity behind the work they do

They should definitely be your top pick if you Need major mechanical repair work done on your vehicle.”

“Brought in my Ram 3500 to get the A/C fixed. The whole system ended up needing replaced. They were quick to diagnose my truck and get it back nice and cool the following day. Fair pricing. I used to work in the Automotive industry and I can say this shop has their stuff together!! Highly recommend.”

“Had an issue with my wheel, couldn’t drive the car so i got it towed over to The busted knuckle and They were able to quickly diagnose and fix the problem for me. Staff is very nice, and service was smooth. Pricing is Pretty good as well!”

“Price for repairs is within a typical range for the same work, itemized receipt and tech explanation of the work clearly indicate where price is coming from, the work was good and fast and used manufacturer parts. Overall excellent experience, will return for future work.”

“They helped me out while on a trip from Iowa with a radio screen. Even gave me time to test it out and make sure it works, fair prices too! Go see if they have what you’re looking for”

“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Chad and his team are ROCK STARS! I work in Home Health & Hospice so my care is my office. The had my VW Atlas up and running in 48 hours! The dealerships needed to keep it 2-3 days just to run diagnostics. They are HONEST AND QUICK! They are reasonably priced too! They are my LIFETIME CAR CARE PEOPLE! The first cylinder went out then the hood cable busted.”

“The staff was courteous ,and responded quickly to my needs, getting my repairs done in a short time. They were very thorough, explaining in detais what was actually needed prior to doing the work, and provided pictures and detailed prices . The problem was fixed and the price was reasonable for the amount of work that was needed. I would definitely recomment Finsanto Automotive to family and friends.”

“Husbands and I went thru a lot trying to get out Diesel running right again…went about a year going thru bullcrap with other Mechanics. We had a very good experience with Warhawk our truck is running again and the Professionalism was great. Ruben was on top of everything throughout. Thank you very much”

“The only place we go to for vehicle maintenance and repairs.They honor their warranties and stand by their work. They are friendly and will work with you regarding your repairs.”

“Came in with an issue to my car referred to by Goodyear, and their services were exceptional! Extremely honest, upfront, and quick turnarounds. Would definitely recommend!”

“The team at Belden's are great. I went in for an oil change and they also conducted a complete diagnostic and check up of my vehicle.
I appreciated the attention to detail. They also provided a complete written report along with a follow up call. I also appreciate the courtesy ride provided.”
