Transmission repair service near Crowley, TX

Rarely have I ever so vehemently despised a shop or considered them to be complete crooks. But that is what they are. STAY AWAY FROM NATIONAL TRANSMISSIONS. I was fortunate enough to not get my money taken by them. Others haven't been as fortunate. I went there needing a new clutch plate with their "free tow, free estimate" coupon. Once my car was there, they wanted to charge me $50 for the estimate. I said they had said free estimate. They said, "Oh that was only for the clutch hydrolics. Now we have to go into the clutch assembly, so it'll be $50." I said never mind, just return my car. They said, "OK, we'll waive the $50 and do the estimate for free." I said no thanks, not going to do business with you. Just return my car (they had said free towing both ways). They said, "OK, you have to come in a sign a paper before we can return your car." I said, how can I get in there to sign a paper when you have my car? Just give it to the two truck driver, and I'll sign it with him. They said no, so I had to borrow someone's car to go in there to get my car back. Was happy that was all I suffered. Reading these other reviews confirmed what I experienced with them. I also ran into someone who went there with his friend, and his friend ended up spending $2000 there for something that he was sure that they broke while they were looking at something else. Should have cost his friend a few hundred dollars, but it ended up costing him $2000. *****STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS*****

Do Not Go Here!!!! I went in after having my car diagnosed with the dealership and one other shop. I was just looking for an estimate as I was calling local shops. I needed an evaporator core for the air conditioner. Aamco would not give me an estimate. Said they had to see the car and that they had a special machine that could detect the coolant leak. I was desparate not to have to pay the $1500 the dealership wanted so agreed to let them look at it. They said it needed two new valves for $300. Great, Right! Yes, until the next day when there was no air conditioning again. I called them back and now they said it would cost as much as the dealership's discounted rate to fix the car but they would do me a favor and take a cut on labor to get it down to $975 for me. Wow, their cut was higher than any other local shop except the dealership. So now I have to pay to get the part fixed that I needed fixed and this shop scammed me out of an additional $300 on top of that. Do Not Go Here! They want to look like they are doing you a favor and saving you money but in the end they are going to get your money.

My advice...stay far away from this place. I was referred here for transmission work by a mechanic who didn't do transmissions. I researched heavily the work to be done, even calling 6 different shops. The work should have taken roughly 30 minutes, and the part is listed between $45-65 online (including OEM price from my vehicles' manufacturer). Granbury Transmission Center quoted me $40 for the part and 1 hour labor. I said okay. Afterward, David there called to tell my wife it was ready, and proceeded to tell her the part was now $90 and labor was 1.5 hours. When she inquired as to the increase, he became belligerent and condescending, and told her, "you don't understand." He then threatened to pull the new part, and give us the old part if we didn't like it. One last thing, the "free diagnostic" was cited as part of the increase in labor time. Since I couldn't find any reviews for this place any where I felt it was important to spread the word.

The mechanic there named Terry is a bold faced liar. Quoted me $850 worse case scenario. Had my car for a couple days, gave me a call told me again on this second occasion, $850 for parts/labor & also mentioned a $60 belt that I denied maintenance, to fix only the main problem. (2) days laters Terry tells me it's going to be $1,900. I let him know absolutely no way, so he convinces me, cons me into his front desks pre-approved on the spot loan that I'll be able to pay within a year. Paid him all my money, $1,000 so he "would be able to order parts". Now Terry says my rides ready, but I have to give him a check for $952. So basically Cookson's Transmission City has my car(house right now), my life savings, and most of my personal belongings for $150 over originally quoted on two seperate occasions.
