Absolute lifesaver! Honest, reliable, and friendly experience from beginning to end. I can t believe I haven t taken my cars here before. A Friend of mine just told me that this is where they bring all of their cars and trucks. High-quality service, and the prices can t be beat.

Outstanding service. Family run business. If more businesses were run like Alphonso s, the world would just be a better place. I was in a bind last year and needed a transmission rebuild for my old Jeep Grand Wagoneer while I was on a roadtrip. Difficult to find parts and only a true mechanic that cares and knows what he is doing would take the time to rebuild my old transmission with 200,000 miles on it. They charged me a very fair price for the amount of work and time that went into getting my old jeep back on the road. I ve had bad experiences with mechanics, sloppy work, bad customer service, talk down to me because I am a woman.. but I experienced the complete opposite with Alphonso. He answered all my questions and even shared photos of the transmission in pieces as he was rebuilding it. Highly recommend this business!!

To anyone who has ever had a good experience here, I would say that you are either lucky or you already got ripped-off.I came here in November 2022, because my vehicle had been shifting hard at times between 1st and 2nd gear. I came to Alphonso's for a transmission inspection. They inspected my vehicle for about 30 minutes and concluded that my car was in the early stages of transmission failure. The owner laughed and said that because I had so many problems with the car that he wasn't even going to charge me the $40 for the inspection. He told me to either buy a new car or replace the transmission ($7k).I spent that next few months trying to decide what to do. I wanted to get a second opinion because these guys gave me a bad vibe, but I also did not want to spend a bunch of money just to get the same answer elsewhere.I went to A&E Automotive (they are just down the street from Alphonso's). A&E inspected my vehicle for 2 days. There were no check engine lights or codes, so they couldn't easily figure out what the issue was. Make a long story short, the Adaptive Learn Drive Cycle needed to be reset, and now my vehicle shifts as if it was brand new. The car just needed to relearn how to shift. It was never a transmission issue. In addition to this, A&E gives you a complimentary inspection. They take pictures of every part of your vehicle. They don't just tell you what needs replacing or maintenance, they SHOW YOU with actual proof. That is something that I have never seen any other shop do. So if you have issues with your vehicle or need to do any maintenance, I recommend that you give A&E a shot and ask for Mike. He was a great and honest mechanic.Service: Transmission

The best transmission shop in town! Alphonso's is a local family run business. They treat the costumer with professionalism, expertise and integrity.Absolutely recommend!I brought my old Jeep into Alphonso after AAMCO would not honor their warranty when I began to experience shifting issues with less than 5K miles on the rebuild trans. Alphonso was able to quickly diagnose the problem in 5 minutes. AAMCO had installed a component backwards!Alphonso also notice a broken transfer case mount and found a replacement for me. Install and wait times were minimal and price was very fair.I will always bring my transmission work to Alphonso's from now on, thank you!Service: Transmission

I was the classic case of a person that a dishonest mechanic would try to take advantage of: out of towner, having transmission problems on the long drive to California, with a vehicle model known to have transmission failure problems, and stressed about the return home. But luckily for me, Alphonso is the most honest mechanic I've ever met.Alphonso took the time over the phone to talk over the issue with me and discuss potential problems and options. When I came in, he took more time with me to look over the car, check the condition of the fluid, and diagnose what was going on. He could have easily lied to take advantage of my situation and told me that my transmission was failing and wouldn't make it home, and he would be happy to replace for $$$. But he didn't.After looking at the vehicle and fluid, Alphonso deduced that the transmission fluid was old and the mechanics that serviced the car right before we bought it about 15,000 miles ago did not change the fluid. All we needed was a fluid and filter change. Alphonso did it quickly and efficiently, at a fair cost. Afterward, he took more time with me to show me the condition of the old fluid and filter, and what I should look out for on the drive home in case we encountered any other problems. We made it home with no problems, thanks to Alphonso.Service: Transmission

I had a great experience getting my transmission repair online 1994 Toyota Tacoma. It was done in record time and the price was very reasonable.

Just got my car back after Alphonso put in a rebuilt transmission on my 1994 Ford Explorer Limited Edition. It runs like a dream and was worth the money. Him and his sweet wife, are great. I would highly recommend Alphonso's Transmission.
