Getting ready to head on...
Heather O
Getting ready to head on the road for a 4.5 hour drive and the Drive light on my dash started flashing. Not wanting to end up stranded on the side of the highway I searched for somewhere to take my SUV and settled on Mister Transmission. When I pulled into the lot there was not a parking space to be found. They were swamped! I explained to the lady at the counter what was wrong and that I was travelling back home. I came to find out her name was Mandy. She had the problem diagnosed and a part located in no time. Within 2.5 hours I was out the door. She could easily have sent me on my way but knowing I was from out of town she went the extra mile and had me taken care of, in spite of the crazy day they were having at the shop. Can’t say enough good about this place. From the fast, friendly, efficient service to the cooperation and support the workers had for each other. They seemed to genuinely like each other and it really showed with the energy and atmosphere present. Thanks so much for taking care of me. Highly recommend this shop! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Heather

Mike MacCluskey
We own a Nissan Pathfinder with the dredded CVT transmissions that self destruct. Through my research there are only 2 choices in Metro. The Nissan Dealership at a premium price point, and this location of Mister Transmission for a reasonable price point. My experience with the knowledgeable staff, and level of professionalism was outstanding! They made me feel at home and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend!

We stopped in just after closing time on a Friday after we had heard a sudden unexplained loud noise in our car. The two guys who were done for the day were very friendly and happy to help explain the issue to us and ease our anxiety! Thank you!

Jamall Gray
These guys are amazing. I took my car to another shop originally and after 2 hours they said I needed a transmission bearing. I took it to Mister Transmission to have the work done and within 15 minutes they diagnosed that I just had a broken belt in my tire. They refused to charge me anything for the few minutes they spent! I changed my tire and car now works perfectly. Thanks guys you are awesome! You just don’t get service like this anymore!
