Transmission repair service near New Braunfels, TX

Went in with a friend to get some information about performance tires for me, (In a car that really doesn't need them), and what options are available for my friend on a budget, and despite knowing we were information gathering and not yet ready to buy, the technician we spoke to was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and thoroughly answered every question, including doing research and calling around. He informed of every option, without hard-pressing sales or making me feel dumb for just starting to get involved into car maintenance and performance, when I obviously am ignorant on a lot of subjects within it. Definitely coming back for whatever excuse I can, inspection, whatever. Excellent folks.

They got my old trucks AC Colder than its ever been before.

BERT'S GENE BROWN TRANSMISSION not only rebuilt my transmission but also at no extra expense to me ordered the correct wiring harness to replace an incorrrect harness that came with the new engine. Also they did a temp repair by putting in a center back plastic window till I could do the correct repair. All of this was at no extra expense to me. So I have no reservations when I say these folks do great work and go over and above. Richard in N.W. San Antonio

David was awesome. He is a natural teacher; took me through his thought process, showed me the diagnostic codes and actual showed me under the hood and under my vehicle. OMG, I have never had that kind of service at a dealership. Thank you and I will definitely tell all my friends about your company! Honesty and integrity-love it! Bonnita W. San Antonio, TX

My family and I have multiple cars and trucks we have repaired at Matts auto service. We have known Matt for over 15 years. We've had all sorts of problems like brakes, radiators, electrical, engine, transmission, and body work. Matts friendly repair garage does excellent work at great prices. Talk with him and see for yourself. You can make an appointment at www.mattsautoservices.com

I had a good experience here. This is the first time I took my car in for a repair in San Antonio. I called them for a quote, I was happy with the price (I had done my research), they ordered the part, we made the appointment and then I brought it in. They fixed it in the amount of time they said they would even though I showed up late, they charged me the price they quoted and they didn't bring any new problems to my attention. They also gave me $25 off because I signed up for the text message discounts. I haven't been getting any texts since then but I got and used that first one. I haven't smelled oil since that day. They also gave me a stamp card to earn a free oil change. I'm thoroughly happy.

Brad's knowledge of diesel trucks is as good as anyone in the state. Nice to have such a good resource for my truck repirs.

I shopped several transmission repair shops and got many stories and prices without any of them really looking at my transmissions. Option Transmissions did a scan of the car with the snap-on modus scanner then they told me what was wrong and what it would take to fix it. They delivered what they promised and we are very happy with the results. They guarantee their work. I also liked the fact that the place was clean and well organized. Thanks John.

Jason is a great mechanic. Very professional and his quotes are reasonably priced. Will definitely go back and recommend him to anybody who needs work done on their car. Nick Parker San Antonio, TX

Outstanding service, honest folks, good prices! Definitely recommend to any BMW owner!

I want to thank Chris for his professionalism and care while repairing my daughters BMW while away at college. Chris arranged to have her car picked up and taken to his shop where he diagnosed the problem and replaced her starter at a very reasonable charge. My daughter is not familiar with San Antonio and did not have a way to pick up her car. Chris, understanding of our situation, volunteered to drop it off to her after hours. It’s nice to know that there are still shops out there that operate with integrity and our sincere to your needs. I look forward to doing business again. Thank you.

I went to a Lincoln dealer when I had what was thought to be a transmission problem with my 2007 MKX. The dealer diagnosed it (incorrectly) to be a transmission problem and quoted me a price to repair it of $5400. A friend recommended that I allow Mingo (the owner of Domingo's Garage) to test drive my vehicle and confirm the diagnosis. Mingo drove my vehicle and determined that the problem was probably in the transfer case. My vehicle is an all wheel drive Lincoln MKX. He suggested removing and opening the transfer case and if needed, replace it. He stated if the transfer case was okay, then he would get in to the transmission and if the problem was in the transmission, he could rebuild it for less than half of what the dealer quoted. The problem was the transfer case and the ultimate cost for parts and labor was less than $1200. Had I accepted the dealers diagnosis, I would have paid $5400 for a transmission swap that was't required and an additional $2200 for the transfer case replacement... Their quote to replace the transfer case was $1000 more than Domingo's. I saved $6400 by going to Domingo's! I will never go back to the Lincoln dealership for any repair. Dominos garage is excellent! I saved money and met a mechanic whom I can trust. I recommend Mingo and his staff to everyone that I know! They are true professionals that you can trust! They guarantee their work too! I am a very happy customer!

Very happy with result. The care looked brand new! Friendly and helped me out with an additional minor issue. Glad to support this small business and will recommend to friends and family!

This shop is the shop you definitely want to take your vehicle to. They were very friendly and quick. The cost to have my transmission rebuilt was not bad at all. Not only do I take my vehicles there but so does my family. Iv been a customer of theirs for over a year. My family and I refuse to take our vehicles anywhere else but to this shop. As far as the above review I have no idea what they are talking about.

There was no parking so I had to get a little on the grass so I pull in and get out of my vehicle and was approached by a Superior and was rudely asked to leave, apparently they have to much work and don't need any new business from another small business. Which customer relations is a huge part of so I hope this helps anybody before they go here.

8/14/16: My transmission broke down in downtown San Antonio. I was visiting from Las Cruces, NM. Needless to say, I was in a bind. It was Sunday and I had no wheels in a strange city far from home. I called a few places with 24/7 towing and Gary from Select Transmission was the first to get back to me. Beggars can't be choosers, so I had the truck towed to their shop. 8/15/16: The parking lot at Select is jammed with vehicles. This might be a sign of them being in high demand because of their excellent service, but it's really because they are slow and/or overbooked. I'd be fine with slow, IF the work is done properly, but that was not to be in my case. They were super nice and cool as they talked knowledgeably about automotive repair. I ended up ordering an upgraded 4L80E with a nationwide 3 year warranty and was able to get financing for the whole cost of the repair, approximately $3800. I told them it would be about 3 weeks before I could arrange to get back out to SA to pick up the truck. I caught a flight home for $350 since I had to work the next day. 8/29/16: I called Select to get an update. Gary said it would be ready by Wednesday, the 31st. I let them know I'd be coming out at the end of the week, which would be the start of Labor Day weekend. 9/2/16: I took an afternoon flight to SA (another $350) and got to Select at about 5pm to pick up the truck. They had apparently been rushed to put it back together...so much for being done by the 31st. Gary told me there was a noise and they couldn't figure out the source. I knew of a noise coming from my front transfer case every now and then, so I told him that was probably it. He also told me that the transmission would make some noise for a few hundred miles as it broke in. Not knowing any better, I drove it for about 90 miles while there was this loud scraping sound. I ended up parking it at a friend's place. Underneath the truck there was evidence of fluid leakage and the skid plate that protected the transmission was missing. The shop was closed for the weekend so I couldn't take it back until Tuesday. 9/3/16: I called Select and got Gary the lying rat on the phone. He was at some Labor Day weekend tailgate party and the shop was closed. He told me to check the fluid level. No help there, the fluid level was fine. 9/5/16: I wasn't going to drive the truck 700 miles making that noise and I wasn't going to leave my truck there for another three weeks so I arranged to have it shipped back to a transmission shop in El Paso for $500 and rented a car to drive home ($120). 9/10/16: My truck arrived at the shop in El Paso. I owe the guy there $400 for the balance of having my truck shipped. 9/22/16: I make it into the El Paso shop and pay the $400. He had already inspected the truck and pulled the rear transfer case off the back of the transmission. It had not been filled with oil, the filler plug on top was missing and the drain plug was loose. The inside was full of metal shavings. Total cost to replace with a rebuilt unit: $1241. Thanks a lot, Select Transmission! To be fair, the transmission itself was fine and installed properly. But PROPER removal and replacement of the rear transfer case is an integral part of the job and this was not done.

THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF!!!! I SPENT 1,700 on my car for the transmission to be rebuilt than not even an hour after driving off my car was doing the same exact thing as when I took it in so I called and the owners wife said to bring it back in and they will fix it.. So there I go spending more money on more stuff that supposedly needed to be fixed.. Second time picking the car up the next day the car breaks down in the middle of the high way while I have a one year old daughter in the vehicle. I call once again and they say to bring it back in.. Later that day I get a call from the dumb ass owner "MECHANIC" or whatever he is and he's telling me they're not going to fix it because it's my fault the car broke down so after arguing for thirty minutes straight he tells me he will fix it. I than picked up my car for the third time and not even a day later there's transmission fluid leaking everywhere.... IM DONE... and I will never go back to that place. I recently took to a new transmission place and they said none of the new parts that were put into the car were put in right so I spent another 1,800$ on having everything fixed that should've been done the first time! READ THE REVIEWS AND DPNT LET THEM SCAM YOU.

This place was recommended by a friend. He quoted $200. if I bought the parts. I got the parts and took the car in on a Thursday. I asked the OWNER when it would be ready. He told my friend....same day. When I asked he said the next day after 4 pm. He quoted me $25.00 more for a total of $225. instead of the $200. OK, I can handle that. The next day comes, no phone call so I thought it would be ready. I showed up at 3 ( on my way to work) thinking maybe they finished early. Nope, hadn't even started. I asked what is the new finished time. Not Friday...Not Saturday...Not Sunday or Monday...maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Since this is my only car I was taking the bus everyday. Just to get to the shop was a serious hassle. Of course it wasn't ready Tuesday...what was I thinking? ON Wednesday (the 7th day) they called. "It is ready please pick up and bring cash only." I said I would be there at 4:30. I bummed a ride from my friend and had her drop me off. I went to the office and no one was there. I was ten minutes early so, I figured they would be right back...55 minutes later they were still gone. I called my friend back and pleaded for a ride. (I have good friends.) The next day they were there and my car was buried behind 3 cars. I paid my bill and left. After eight days instead of 8 hours, $25 more than the original quote. When I pulled into my driveway I noticed that there were grease hand prints all over the car. Anyway, the car seems to be fine. No explaination was forthcomming from the owners daughter and the owner was nowhere around.

I took my car in a few months back to get the oil changed. Had a decent experience, it is close to my office so I was able to drop off my car and come back after work. I got the synthetic blend oil change for $20 and thought it was a great deal. I attempted to bring my car in again this morning and they told me that the $20 deal would not work for my car and I had to use the $50 full synthetic. I was extremely concerned because they either put the wrong oil in my car the first time or were trying to take advantage of me and get me to spend more money. Needless to say I did not leave my car there and will no longer use their services. The sad part is that it was the same service manager I dealt with the first time that told me the $20 deal would not work for my car. When I explained to him that I took it to him previously and was concerned that the wrong oil has been in my car for three months he shrugged his shoulders and said we will flush it out. It was absolutely ridiculous and I hope he does not feel that way with all services that they provide. Next time he may shrug his shoulders when they don't put the lug nuts on tight enough.
