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.”

“Oh my goodness… this business is something truly special. They didn’t just detail a neglected 2002 Camry — they brought it back to life in a way that honestly moved me to tears. Seeing my Mother's old car restored with such care felt like watching a memory being given a second chance.

The entire crew is extraordinary - professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in their work. Even though I'm sure they mostly work on newer cars and high‑end vehicles, they treated my old, little Camry with the same respect, detail, and devotion. That meant more to me than I can express.

I couldn’t be more grateful or more impressed.
Sal, thank you — your kindness and dedication shine through everything you do. You’re a gem.”

“I took my vehicle in for service, Nate was professional and courteous.The engine repairs were completed in a timely manner, cost was a lot less than the big brown building down the street. See you guys on the next go around.”

“An amazing experience! Lovely people, even gave me a ride home while my car was being serviced! I recommend taking any issues you have with your vehicles to this family owned shop! Thank you Alamo Heights Garage!”

“Great place, great people! The other day was my 2nd time at Chad Miller’s, and like before, everyone was super friendly and the owner was there. I just needed maintenance services like spark plug and brake fluid replacements, and my engine light went off just in time for my appointment. Everything was handled smoothly and they were able to take care of everything. Will definitely keep coming back here!”

“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”

“I am so grateful for the patience and care Annette shared taking care of my questions.
I felt well taken care of. The lobby also was clean. Finsanto gave me a ride home and picked me up to come get my car when they were done. There were never any surprises.
After diagnostics, there was a clear concise explanation of immediate work needed and maintenance issues to consider in the near future and POSITIVE issues concerning my car.
Thank you Annette and Finsanto.
I highly recommend Finsanto for your automotive needs.”

“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!”

“These guys were wonderful! They were very helpful and answered all questions. Very friendly and professional. They even offer you a shuttle back to wherever you need to go after you drop your car off and then will come pick you up to take you back to their shop so you can get your car!”

“I'm so thankful for my experience here, it was beyond what I expected. The guys greeted me as soon as I walked in and had me in and out with no problems. They showed a real willingness to help. Thank you Belden's Automotive & Tires.”

“2 Aces is the kind of auto shop you can confidently send a family member to knowing that they’ll receive top notch service. Robert always goes above and beyond to guarantee a happy customer. Ashely at the front desk is always warm and welcoming; kind to everyone who calls.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Auto Service Experts and this team!

I initially brought my vehicle in around the middle of July with a multitude of issues. I needed a timing belt replacement, a tune-up, had rattling coming from the engine, and several other things that needed attention. At that point, my car simply was not running the way it should. Considering the amount of work my vehicle needed, the initial turnaround time was surprisingly fast, and the pricing was very fair.

From the very beginning, Lena at the front desk was absolutely amazing. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, communicated clearly, and made sure I knew what was going on with my vehicle every step of the way. That level of communication made an otherwise stressful situation so much easier.

Once my car was ready, they contacted me, we worked out a convenient time for me to pick it up, and I went on my way. After getting my vehicle back, however, I noticed a few things that concerned me and weren’t quite what I expected after having so much work done.

I brought those concerns back to Lena, and this is where I was truly impressed. Lena and Carlos, the technician, went above and beyond. They spent so much additional time diagnosing, checking, and addressing my concerns to make sure my vehicle was running safely and efficiently.

As a mother of three who is currently pregnant with my fourth, having a reliable and SAFE vehicle isn’t something I take lightly. I needed to know that I could get my children and myself where we needed to go without worrying about whether my car was going to leave us stranded. Lena and Carlos completely understood that, and they treated my concerns with the seriousness and care I was hoping for.

They didn’t make me feel like I was being difficult or like my concerns were an inconvenience. Instead, they took the time to go over everything, cover their bases, and make sure I was comfortable and confident in my vehicle before considering the job finished.

I genuinely feel like I received even MORE than my money’s worth because of the amount of care, time, and effort they put into making sure my vehicle was right. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days.

A huge thank you to Lena, Carlos, and the entire Auto Service Experts team for treating me with respect, keeping me informed, and most importantly, making sure my family and I can travel safely. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest, thorough, and genuinely caring service! ❤”

“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!!!”

“Great people! Helped me get my diesel school bus back on the road. Fast and friendly, can't speak highly enough about these guys. Good people that treat you fairly.”

“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 shop with customer service by Mike P!. Staff is super knowledgeable about automotive repair and competent at a reasonable price point! Will return when in need of service for my vehicle in the future. Staff alerted me to a few items that need observation/service. I fixed two myself.”

“Thanks for being so up-front about the transaxle problem, which you honestly stated was outside your shop’s anbility and then referred me to the dealer. Y’all are awesome!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“A Big Thank You To The Busted Knuckle for a GreatJob on my car last week, Trust worthy, Friendly and Professional detail work completed as promised. I will Highly recommend to all in need of a Mechanic Shop. Ms E Sanchez”

“Great place to have your car serviced. I have been getting my cars fixed at Belden on Bulverde for the last 10+ years.

Competitive prices and reliable workmanship. Great customer service my the Belden team!”

“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”

“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!”

“Not familiar with any mechanics in SA, but glad I came here. The staff was very polite and honest. Was able to drop my vehicle and have it serviced same day and was also very thorough when breaking down the issues with my vehicle and pricing.”

“Excellent service and friendly staff. Service includes details of my vehicle's overall condition with recommendations. They even provide a courtesy shuttle.”

“We had a great experience with Baumann Automotive in San Antonio. We brought in one of our RSCS service trucks, and their team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish.

They communicated well throughout the process, pricing was very reasonable, and most importantly, they were able to complete the work the same day. Having a service truck down impacts our ability to take care of our customers, so getting our technician back on the road quickly was a huge help.

We really appreciate the excellent service and will definitely keep Baumann Automotive in mind for our fleet needs. Highly recommend!”
