Pran Jai
Called for estimate on transmission flush and was advised they only do repairs now. However, he was very helpful and provided more details on the type of work my car actually needs and saved me a couple hundred dollars of irrelevant maintenance. Seems like a honest shop.

I had an issue with my 1999 Toyota 4Runner—the clutch pedal was almost on the floor, and shifting gears was difficult. I took it to Mister Transmission at the Dixie location, where the problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed. Despite the car being 27 years old and the parts not being easy to find, they got me back on the road the same day. The staff were very competent and friendly, the service was fast, and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

I brought my car in to have the clutch replaced back in March. I was in a rush to get my car in somewhere, and after having been quoted $5k by the dealership, the staff at Mister Transmission accommodated me within the hour and did the service for $1k less than the dealership. Later, there was an issue with the battery when the car was returned home and they looked at it for me at no cost. They even called a week or so later to make sure that the car was running okay.All around great service, great prices, and friendly staff. Thanks a bunch!
