My father brought his 4x4 truck here. Told us it was the transfer case replaced it didn t work still. Then said it was the 4 wheel drive motor, replaced it and still didn t work. After 2500 bucks of work he gave up and said he thought it was a fuse or relay. So now we re out 2500 bucks and still have a broken truck

If you're in a hurry don't take it to this place. If you expect communication don't take it to this place. If you want things done without your prior approval this is the place. When you call for an update they will tell you he's out on a test drive and when you leave a message you'll never hear back from them. This guy took a year to rebuild a four-speed transmission and then he took it upon his self to paint it Chevy blue when it come out of a Datsun. He will throw a number at you to see if you'll pay it and when you question it he'll reduce it just a little bit.Service: Transmission

*Update* I got my car back, and I stand with my previous comment. I will never go here again for sure, maybe for a refund. Not surprised with their attempt to charge for extra stuff.Probably the most incompetent bunch of people I ever met. If you want the run around then go here. If you want to wait three days for a job as simple as replacing a dented pan then luckily this place is open. No one knows what communication is at this transmission shop. If I could give no stars I would.Service: Transmission

Oakwood Transmission had my car for two weeks with absolutely NO communication with me as to what was going on with my transmission. My husband and I called multiple times and were told by the front desk lady, they were on a test drive with my car and would call back shortly. They never did. I had to physically go up there to check on my car and once again it was not there and was on a test drive???? This made me feel extremely uncomfortable!! I was then told they would definitely communicate with me the following business day with a verdict concerning my transmission--to no surprise they did not!!! I was really in disbelief with the poor communication and customer service, so I picked up my vehicle the following day, paid the stupid diagnostic fee and went else where. Not sure what their problem was, but they wasted my time!!!!Service: Transmission

I highly!!! recommend this shop. I have owned a service based business in Los Angeles for more than 30 years. I have over 5,ooo reviews and every review is 5 stars. I wish they were local for me!!! Service and Quality!!!I was traveling and needed a new transmission in Richmond Va. and was done by Cottman Transmissions there. Atlanta was as far as I got I guess they got me (an out of towner). Did not stand by the warranty and extra labor out of my pocket. I was taken to a hotel while the trans was fixed right this time. It was done back on 12/3/2021 it now 7 months later and 13K miles later and not one issue. Actually runs cooler than ever before because they recommended a new upgraded cooler because I tow a lot. I have had 0000 issues. I purposely waited this long to do the review. Please don't use anyone else if your trying to decide on who to use.Service: Transmission

You can't find a Auto Shop's like this anymore. Those brands names have put them out of business. But this is a jewel that we found, one of the last of it's kind. We receive knowledgeable, professional and friendly services. It cost us our small savings, but our vehicle is running and that means a lot. They take their time and diagnosed the problems. I recommend Oakwood Transmission shop and thank you.Services: Transmission, Oil change

Can't say much about thier work but they kept my van for a week, I called 5 times before I could even get a quote on a new or rebuilt transmission that would cost me double for what I paid another shop to do in 2 days. And they charged me $125 just to look at it. Definitely would not recommend.

I have taken my vehicles to Oakwood Transmission several times for transmission repair, brakes, tune-ups, etc. The owner has many years of experience and expert knowledge in this field! The price is very fair for the level of expertise you will receive. I feel very good about supporting this local business! The job is always done correctly with integrity, honesty and quality. They also warranty their work.

Engine wrench warning came on during trip from SC to Gainesville, GA. My wife was traveling alone so she pulled into Ford dealership for diagnostics and repair. Within 20 minutes they diagnosed a blown transmission requiring either a new or rebuilt transmission for approximately $8000.00 and requiring 2-3 months to fix. Upon family advice from Georgia in-laws, took truck to Oakwood Transmission for a second opinion. They worked us in and within 1 hour had diagnosed the problem as low transmission fluid and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with the transmission itself. They changed the filter, pan gaskets and completely refilled the fluid after isolating the leak. We had them do a complete transmission service. All together the bill was under $500 and we were back on the road right as scheduled. Donald and his team showed absolute professionalism and integrity and treated us with total dignity and respect, and kept us from being ripped off by the local Ford dealership! I feel encouraged that there are still small businesses out there that are more concerned about doing the right thing than seeing how much they could scam a customer out of. Donald and his whole team made this upsetting episode virtually painless, and we enjoyed all the friendly banter with the whole staff!Van SanderferLincoln, NEServices: Transmission, Auto engine diagnostic

I just wanna say that was by far the best experience I ve had at a mechanic shop. I was nervous about my problem and left with such peace! The whole staff was so friendly they actually showed me my problem instead of leaving me in the dark and just charging me. I will definitely be back and suggest them to anyone!!! Thank you all for your kindness! My car is running great!

My transmission blew up while head down 75. I had it towed to the Toyota dealership who quoted me $5000. After searching online, I ended up having Oakwood Transmission take care of it. They were incredibly helpful and fast - as i was stuck waiting with no other ride to take me home. They quoted me $3100 as worst case scenario and stuck to their word. I ended up with a complete rebuild. Thanks for your help, guys!

The owner Donald is an amazing guy. He does have a lot of cars though so you might have to schedule an appointment. I don't think that you'll be in and out in one day.

I have a 97 dodge ram 1500 pickup,They rebuilt the transmission and front end upper and lower ball joints,It drives better than a new truck.It was an awesome job done by these guys,you can depend on them to do it right and for what it cost it was well worth it.

to who it may concern if your looking for a transmission shop that's more than a transmission shop you should visit the good folks at oakwood transmission my son has a 95 ford pick up that needed more then a transmission repair it need motor repair like brakes plugs wires and vaccume you name it after check out other repair shops in the area we decided on oakwood transmission don the owner walked us threw everything that he would do to the truck and in the end its never run so smoothly plus my wallet didn't take a huge hit with his honest low prices long story short great honest work for a very agreeable and low price .

I have spent nearly $7000 in the last two years with Oakwood transmission on my 2000 GMC Yukon the transmission haswent out-three times in the past two years thinking it was under warranty each time I took it back and it up costing me $700-$1500 each time so I wanted to just take it with everything they were in the back and take it to another transmission shop when he tells me you're already in the whole $700 and each time it cost me more money I would never recommend Oakwood transmission to anybody
