Kyle Richie
I brought my 2015 Scion tC to them the end of last year and it’s been a rough battle trying to figure out what’s wrong with my transmission but both Kyle and Rob have been super friendly and helpful throughout each time I’ve had to bring it back, I have no complaints at all as I know my car isn’t a very popular model so I’m sure it hasn’t been easy but they’ve taken such good care of me and my car. As well the hold music is very upbeat and great to listen when needed.

N 9
Was looking at doing some preventative maintenance on my transmission. Thought I was having some issues with the transmission so I wanted to get an assessment done. Turns out there was no issues found with the actual transmission. The service manager was open and honest with what they checked and was part of their free diagnostic. Would definitely return if I ever experience any issues in the future. Trustworthy team here at Mister Transmission.
