Transmission repair service near Baytown, TX

Personable and not a bad location either. This isn't a big shop, but they are friendly and knowledgeable. They specialize in Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Mini Coopers. I must be one of many people who hate the Mini dealership (I drove all the way to the Woodlands to buy my Mini after reading reviews of Momentum Mini, but it's not practical to go there for maintenance). It's strange that I didn't hate Momentum Volvo when I had one....is it just the Mini folks for some reason? Mike is chatty and tells you what's going on with the repair, and knows what's going on with my car. I was so glad to find them.

i took my 2006 ford 500 to have the transmission fixed. what true professionalism! i was quoted a price and it didn't change. mr. hugh was a pleasure to work with. i felt comfortable having them work on my car. my car is running better than ever! i have already recommended them to others! thanks again...will definitely be back.

After exhausting our local options we put the discovery 1 on a trailer and took it here. Most reviews were good so we thought we were lucky to find one only 5 hours away. We were mistaken. Maybe for maintenance work they would be ok, but to actually diagnose and fix the problem, I would never recommend them. The first time they had it for 2 weeks and $1100 later we had a tuneup, an ignition coil, new ground wire and spark plugs.... and a vehicle that still couldn't make it out of the parking lot. So keys in overnight slot again and it stayed for another 2 weeks. Both times my husband was told it was running well and they had been driving it around. Amazingly after one month and all the "driving" they did, we had 2 miles put on the truck and it still wouldn't get out of the parking lot. All of the things we had already replaced they replaced again... (ignition coil, oxygen sensor...) and wanted to keep it longer since they thought it was the mass air flow (had 2 sitting in the truck since we already went that route) and kept telling my husband the catalytic converters were blocked (3 months old... and would blow leaves across a parking lot). 2 days after trailering it home (another 5 hour trip there and 5 hours back) my husband talked online to a landrover owner who had similar issues. After checking the crankshaft sensor (as suggested) he discovered the 2 wires to/from the sensor were melted together. After fixing that problem it still "missed". So he went to look at the crank position ring and discovered a tine bent over. Because of this the sensor couldn't see it and was missing. After gently bumping the tine back up into place the sensor saw it and the missing stopped. It is running smoothly and perfectly. Now he just has to figure out why, after they rewired it, the front windows wont roll up or down, and the front sunroof won't either. I am not saying these people didnt want to fix it, I am saying that they should admit when they don't know and quit being parts replacers instead of mechanics. Also their master mechanic never seemed to be around, which makes me wonder if he was would it actually have gotten fixed. If you need a tune up, then this really doesn't apply to you but if you need a problem diagnosed you might want to think before sending it here. $2000 later and still not running any different when you pick it up, you have to ask if it is really worth it.

Rods transmissions is the best most reliable and dependable transmission shop in north Harris county,I am very satisfied with the completion of my transmission! I strongly recommend anyone who is having trouble with there transmission to come to Rods!

Used these guys MANY times always great service and prices they are always my FIRST AND LAST call i make when looking for parts!

I used this shop to repair my transmission, referred by a friend. That was a year ago. My transmission was leaking fluid so I took it in on Saturday and left it there....I had not heard anything on Monday so I call on Tuesday afternoon and was told that the transmission seals were leaking due to my rack and pinion having a leak also. The transmission repair was covered under warranty and the owner offered to repair the rack and pinion for $297.00. I said yes to the repair but 10 minutes later I reconsidered and explicitly told her not to make the repair at all. I picked up my van on Thursday and I am told that I owe for the rack and pinion repair which I did not authorize! Keep in mind I only speak to the owner over the phone and deal with a mechanic when I go into the shop. The repair was done on Wednesday and the owner seemed unaware that the repair had been made until I go in on Thursday. Long story short I was treated as if I had done something wrong when I asked if I could pay for the repair in two payments..she wanted me to pay for an unathorized repair of $297 in 10 days. I think this was a scam to get some kind of money from me since they couldn't charge me for the transmission repair.

I really wish someone would close these jerks down. SCAMMERS CON-ARTS, CROOKS, SWINDLERS. In-human idiots that lie lie lie and steal your money. They fix nothing. I brought my car there and paid an arm and leg for them to fix my car and nothing but made it worse. Anyone that reads these reviews and brings there car to them Please call the police immediately. IMMEDIATELY. I wish the police would pay attention to these reviews, go there and shut them down and arrest these thief's. They have a post on Craig's list so beware. Oh that review that someone said their $600 dollar radio was stolen. It wasn't stolen they so called mechanics stole it and lied.

After my experience with them I can not recommend this shop to anyone. warranty is a fraud, newspaper ad is bogus- very rude unprofessional and manipulative. Once you agree on a set price you get there find out almost double price. they never mention on the phone they accept "cash only" that's a red flag. don't sign anything before you very carefully read. example: warranty states that if repairs needed you must pay 150.00 just for him to honor warranty...total fraud. save your money avoid like the plague.

Very crooked, dishonest business. They charged me $3000 dollars for a repair. I paid for it with my American Express Card. They then declared that my car ownership and the repair warranty belongs to an old, White man who helped me tolled the car off the road. I had to call American Express to dispute it as a bad business deal. The manger asked for 0 proof from a White handy man to assure the ownership of the car, but he demands to see my car title, the credit card recipt to prove that it's my car and that I paid for the repair. He even insinuate that the man is letting me use the car temporarily. I showed him the original sales contract of the car that stayed with the maintanece book from many years ago - the only paper I had at the time. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the title paper of the car more aggressively.. The credit card used for the transaction has my name on it and it matches the record in the front side of the repair order. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the credit card recipt more aggressively. I was denied of my 10 day check up. I was denied of my ownership of the car. I was denied of the warranty. He asked me to leave, saying I have a bad attitude. Nobody would trust a 2 year warranty when one is denied of one's standing as a customer, as owner of the warranty, as a paid consumer and the car owner, simply because one is not an old, white man. This whole thing is just bad, bad, crooked deal...

I have been to this mechanic over the past 2, almost 3 years. Finally realizing that they may have cost me money instead of saving me money. I initially went for an engine light. They diagnosed it as CATALYTIC CONVERTER. My car was in shop for 2-3 days. Not only did they say one of the catalytic converters CRACKED during the repair and needed to be welded while they fixed it, but the engine light was off for ONLY ONE DAY. Came right back on after I spent $800. Since that day, I have been back to replace the IONIC motor, power steering pump, a FULL TUNE UP that they claimed would fix the engine light. They always said that the TRANSMISSION was fine no matter how many times I reported a problem with it slipping or my car just completely turning off. I spent so much money there and I STILL have an ENGINE light on. Finally, took it to another mechanic someone recommended and he reported that they used CHEAP parts for the catalytic converters, didn't replace the sensors when they did the original work, and NOW the whole TRANSMISSION is messed up because it has been LEAKING. I BEEN SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION and they never did! Isn't that supposed to be their speciality? Now I will have to pay $2500 to fix my entire car. NO THANKS TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CENTER.

This place is not a reputable shop! My car stopped near here on November 2, and since all I needed was a fuel pump replacement, I let them do the service. Well I began having trouble with filling my tank after they fixed it. And then my car stopped again THE DAY AFTER they returned it to me. When I brought it back, Johnny claimed it was my "engine computer" that needed replacing, and the fuel pump was fine. At that point, I had the car towed to the shop I was familiar with. Turns out, the workers hooked my fuel return line into my vent system! That caused my charcoal canister and vent to fill with raw gasoline, and that repair cost me $560! Johnny also made me pay $60 for the tow back to his shop because "the problem was not related to his work". But as you can see, it most definitely was! I plan on taking this to small claims court. Don't go here unless you appreciate crappy worksmanship and being lied to!

RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,AWAY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! THEIF,THEIF,THEIF. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ELECTRONIC CHECK BECAUSE IT WOULD HESITATE SOME TIME. I LEFT IT AT MANAGERS REQUEST. I CAME BACK AND THEY HAD TAKEN MY TRANS OUT AND TORE IT APART. I TOLD HIM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER I DID NOT AUTHORIZE OR REQUEST THIS! HE SAID THEY COULD NOT PUT BACK LIKE IT WAS CERTAIN THINGS WERE DAMAGED (DURING PULLING IT APART I'M SURE). AND IF THEY DID IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. BOTTOM LINE I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR OF NEARLY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, THE CAR ONLY COST FORTY EIGHT HUNDRED. BY THE WAY THE PART ONLY COST ABOUT FIFTY DOLLARS. I COULD HAVE A YOUTUBE VEDIO AND REPLACED IT MY SELF OR JUST BOUGHT A USED TRANS FOR THREE TO SIX HUNDRED AND PAID TWO OR THREE HUNDRED TO PUT IT IN. THE OWNER DID NOT KNOW OF DAVES (MANAGER) TACTICS I'M SURE. I'VE HAD WORK DONE HERE BEFORE DAVE WAS HIRED. I COULD HAVE TAKEN LEGAL STEPS, BUT FOR OLD FRIENDSHIP SAKE, I DID NOT. THIS IS NOT TO GET EVEN BUT TO INFORM THE UNSUPECTING, ALL TRUSTING, NIEVE, AND GOLABLE PERSONS LIKE I WAS. GET THE FACTS BEFORE LEAVIN. NOT A VAGE PHONE CALL AUTHORING SOME TYPE OF WORK. BY THE WAY SCREWS MISSING, HARNESS LOSE, POPING SOUND WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEN OH AND WORST OF ALL A WHINNING SOUND, LIKE YOU HEAR FROM A CAR WHOSE TRANS IS ABOUT TO "GO OUT". IN OTHER WORDS TRANS REPAIRED WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS NOT DEALER PARTS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I HAVE TO HAVE THE FRONT END REALIGNED TO STRAGHTEN OUT MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE MORE BUT I'M TIRED OF TYPING...YOU DECIDE. I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY THAT CAN MAKE UP FOR MY FINANCLE LOSS,INCONVEIENCE,AND OVER ALL PAINFUL EXPERIENCE.

About two years ago I took my car in to have a new transmission put in. It cost me 900 dollars but it was done quickly and I didn't have any problems with it. I've only driven the car 5000 miles since then and never on the freeway cause i use my newer model vehicle to travel longer distances. I recently got on the freeway to go across town while my newer car was getting a tune up and it would not shift to overdrive. I called and they said they would look at it and two days later they called me stating that I needed a new transmission and it was gonna cost an additional 800 dollars. I asked if they had taken the transmission out to check it and they said no. I informed them that the trams is only 2 years old and that it had only been driven 5000 miles to no avale. They said the transmission is only under a 1 year warranty and that I can take it somewhere else. Not a good experience at all and these people will rip you off

I took my car to this guys shop to get some fuel injectors installed and when i went back the owner told me my engine had locked up. now im not a person that a little or a lot about car but this sounded absolutely rediculous to. i mean i drove my car up there and now i cant drive it out.

I was baited in with a low price and promises of quick service. Once they had me by the cojones and had gutted my transmission, they changed the terms of our verbal and written agreement and proceeded to charge me three times more. They dented and scratched my car and acted as angry children when I had my car removed from them. I had to pay another shop to finally fix the problem. My experience with the other shop wasn't a great improvement either, but Rene's Transmissions is in a class of their own as far as being an all around sham and scam of an operation. If you value your hard-earned money stay away from them.

A part was ordered from this place with the vehicle registration papers. Gaberial and his friends at Garry's auto parts are so unprofessional and lies. Not only did they steel almost $700.00 for a part on a car, but they purposely ordered the wrong part, despite being given they correct information and they intellectually lied and forged signature saying that we ordered the wrong part. We tried calling and even reasoning with them. Gaberial told us a bunch of lies just to keep his commission for the services which he and Garry's Auto parts intentionally did. They like to scam and steal money. The sad thing is they've had their part untouched and unused and they still kept our money as paid out customers. Gaberial tried to hang up on us and almost cursed us out for calling him. He lies and say they have a manager who is never in. He is always out and he is never available. If you have an issues, you can not call them or count on them. We even called other people on his team who lied and said He's not in, and they would put us on hold for 40 minutes to an hour, then they would act like they could not understand anything, and from there we had to call from a different number and when we did he was steel trying to dodge us about the part and the money. we even tried to work with them by asking them to find another part for the car in exchange. they never did it, they would laugh, and lie and act like they did not understand and was unconcern and would even make fun of our situation and say, well you told us this, when we in fact told them nothing, but gave them the documents for the vehicle....They all Thieves and Lairs and they pretend to car , when in fact they don't! They are beyond a mess.
