Jeffery Graham185 days agoHad my ford escape s transmission and PTU fluid changed at Dave’s. I don’t ever write reviews but they were honest and fair in their pricing. They checked my brakes and rear differential fluid said that I can wait on them where other shops said I needed to get them serviced. They’ve also saved me money in the past with my old dodge Durango that I thought was having a transmission issue but it ended up being a throttle position sensor causing it not to stay in overdrive on the freeway. I was very surprised that they use amsoil with how fair their prices are. I 100 percent trust Dave’s automatic transmission with all of mine and my families and friend’s vehicles.Posted on Google

Allen558 days agoThe reviews speak for themselves! My transmission went out on a 4 year old SUV out of nowhere. He allowed me to source my own part and it literally saved me thousands over going with OEM. Fair prices and great customer service. Thank you so much! A month later and it's still running strong zero red flags.Posted on Google

Bill Green806 days agoDave's Transmission was highly recommended to me. I thought I had a big transmission problem for my 1999 Suburban. I went to see Daryl and told him what I had been told the problem likely was. I was expecting big expenses. Daryl plugged a diagnostic machine into my car and he said "You have 2 spark plugs that are acting up." He suggested I get the spark plugs replaced with a mechanic and that would solve the problems. I wanted to pay him, but he didn't even want to take money for the diagnosis. I insisted because I am from out of town. What a guy! Thank you, Daryl!!Posted on Google

Mike Winmill1672 days agoI'm from out of state, my transmission started acting up on my way to Wisconsin. Wouldn't go into overdrive. Instead of trying to tell me I needed a new transmission. They said they could try to adjust the bands. They were able to adjust, transmission works like it should. It probably need to be rebuilt later, but for know it's working good. Honest Company. Would highly recommend it.Posted on Google
