I am very pleased with their work replacing the torque converter on my 2016 Honda Pilot. This is major work and it took about 5 days, but they saved me big time over what the Honda dealer wanted to charge for the job.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

I had a good experience with this place. I contacted them after my own dealership made me feel like I was wasting their time when I broke down, which only added to my stress. But when I contacted Valdosta Transmission and spoke with Lee and Brandon about my situation, they were very nice and professional., which was a breath of fresh air, considering the situation. They were able to fix the problem, and get me back on the road at a fairly reasonable price. I will be using and recommending their services in the future Service: Transmission

We are very happy with the service. Our Chrysler town and Country hit a deer and caused a leak in the condenser causing the transmission to burn up. The owner is extremely patient in explaining and answering my thousands of questions, lol.The COVID issue caused a back up in being able to get parts in a timely manner so it took 3 months to get our transmission rebuilt, but they took care of us!We also took them our Ford Transit that was having a shutter that we thought was also a transmission issue and we were quoted at the dealer $900 , right after spending over $2,000 on a transmission. We just didn t have that kind of money We went to Valdosta transmission and they took care of the shutter for $100! I know every situation is different and not everything can be fixed that easily, but we are thankful for Lee and his honesty and and willingness to help us out.I definitely recommend this place

They fixed my transmission in half a day. Super friendly service. And even fitted Mr in the schedule the day I drove up. It cost me 1050.00 to change the leadframe and service the transmission where everyone else was around 1350 to 1600. And I checked 6 different transmission shops from valdosta to Tifton. Best experience I have ever had at any mechanic shop! I would trust them personally to work on all my vehicles!!!Service: Transmission

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. The staff were courteous and helpful. I had to wait a short time while they diagnosed my problem and I talked to Richard, the owner, during this time. It felt like he was my brother or something by the time I left. I was told by another shop in town that I needed my transmission rebuilt and it was going to be over $3,000. I went to Valdosta Transmission for a second opinion. They told me the problem was much smaller, not my transmission, and it cost me only $425. They could have told me it needed to be rebuilt and charged me way more money because I know nothing about transmissions. This type of honesty in today's greedy world is rare and I just wanted Richard and the staff at Valdosta Transmissions to know that I truly, truly appreciate it. I have had no issues with my car since I left Valdosta Transmission. I rarely leave reviews but, when a business shows knowledge, honesty, and efficiency like this, I had to take the time to sing their praises!! I will definitely be referring anyone who needs any type of transmission work, or just an honest diagnosis of what is actually wrong, to Valdosta Transmission.

My 2002 Envoy's transmission wouldn't shift into 3rd gear. I started looking for a shop that I could trust to get my vehicle fixed. While searching reviews I started reading the reviews for Valdosta Transmission. With so many wonderful reviews I decided to call. Richard gave me a price and a more than reasonable one I might add. We decided to have Richard and his great team repair the vehicle. They received my vehicle on Wednesday and on Friday I picked up my vehicle transmission fixed and ready to drive. Thank you Richard and your team for a wonderful job. I am recommending Richard at Valdosta Transmission to anyone who has problems with their transmission. Richard at Valdosta Transmission is the place to go. Thanks again Richard and your mechanics are the best.

Transmission went out in my college child's Nissan. Initially took to dealership they called to confirm it was the transmission after performing diagnostic testing. I was disappointed with the price given to me to repair the car and they couldn't promise it would be that exact price when they were done. We chose to pick the car up and find someone local to the area and more reasonable. I searched through google and yelp apps, reading posted comments of other customers experiences and chose to call Valdosta Transmission. Immediately Richard made me feel at ease, he was very friendly and gave me a set price to replace the transmission once I provided the VIN number of the car. That price did not change and he had the car back up and running within 4 business days. I got the same warranty the dealership was going to provide and the car is running great. I would highly recommend Richard and his team of mechanics to repair anyone with transmission problems. Hope I don't need his help again, but if I do will call Valdosta Transmission. Thanks for your help, friendship and honesty Richard.

I can't speak any more highly about Richard and the shop. We had bought a bad transmission and needed the old one rebuilt. He squeezed us in and managed to get the truck fixed in the midst of a hurricane. He even stayed late at the shop on a Friday so I could pick up the paperwork, and the day before so I could get the truck. He was honest and definitely fair. I felt he went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied customers. I'd recommend the shop to everyone, and I'll definitely be a returning customer!! Excellent customer service is hard to come by these days, Valdosta Transmission definitely isn't lacking here!

I had a transmission issue with my car and I took it to a shop off of I-75 on Madison highway... and they told me it was the whole Transmission that needed to be replaced. $3800. I got a weird feeling they were just trying to rip me off so I left. Being Active Duty Military Stationed in Valdosta, it's hard to find shops around here that have a good reputation. I did a google search again and found Valdosta Transmission. So I took my vehicle there and met the owner of the shop Richard. From the start he was VERY friendly and hospitable. He explained everything he was doing to my vehicle and walked me through the process of finding out what was wrong with my transmission. Turns out it was just a sensor that needed to be replaced and it was DRAMATICALLY less than $3800. This dude has been fixing transmissions since he was 17 and over all great at what he does. If you need your transmission worked on, go see Richard. You're in good hands there.

I broke down off I10 on my way to Oklahoma for a funeral for my fianc� s grandmother. Took time off work for this and everything of course it s an important family matter. Had to sleep in a rest stop first night and then got a tow the following night to an off road auto shop in Madison FL. I was told that they do transmission work because that s what I was told I needed and thought so also. I spent two nights in the hotel next to the place till they opened on Monday. When Monday arrived I went up there and was told that they don t do transmission work actually so this whole time was wasted and wasted money in the middle of nowhere. Very frustrated as is the auto shop diagnosed my truck without informing me and even charged me the diagnose fee and of course I had no other option? So I had to call a tow truck to tow me to Valdosta Transmission and I called them that morning and explained everything going on. Lee quoted me a price over the phone and I told him I would be on my way. It was the best deal around also to be honest. I made my way to his shop and he pulled it right in and diagnosed it and quoted me a VERY reasonable price and even took me to my hotel about 10 minutes down the road! I m just saying nowadays you CANNOT find that anywhere! I paid half off the work already and I ll be picking it up Thursday! And I didn t even want to wait to give a review because he s the most honest, generous man around here. So please don t settle for anything but Valdosta Transmission!

When I check engine light came on, I was told the issue was the transmission. When I asked friends and coworkers who they would recommend, everyone immediately said Valdosta Transmission. Made an appointment on Thursday to have it looked at. Richard explained everything to me in great detail as to what the issue was. Luckily, there was a slot available for them t began working on my Buick right away. He also had it ready on the day he estimated. Now, my baby runs great. I would recommend him to EVERYONE. Very professional and funny.P.S He takes care of us military troops too.

We had the front differential of our SUV replaced here. We were on a short timeline since I had to go out of town, and didn t want to leave my wife and 2 year old without a vehicle. When they received a defective part from their supplier and realized they weren t going to meet our timeline, they immediately called us and offered to pay for a rental car for us. The install was perfect and the SUV has been running great since getting it back. Absolutely 5 stars for customer service!!!

Excellent customer service, great work, honest pricing! Was quoted on the phone and left not spending a dollar more, not for tax, not for shop fees, not for environmental fees. First time that's ever happened. Valdosta Transmissions does a great job not just doing what you ask for but in the case of my clutch taking care of other parts around it that will likely need replacement soon so it doesn't need to be all taken apart again. I will be back in the future.

Honest work, fast, & great price. Showed up 30 min before opening on a Sat. Richard was happy to discuss the issue I had with my stranded Trailblazer...stuck in drive, but shifter in park. Many would see this as an opportunity to gouge a customer with an expensive transmission repair for what turned out to be a $40 repair. He worked my vehicle into the schedule and back on the road a couple hours later. Very honest businessman!

I have had some extensive work done by Richard and his team at Valdosta Transmission and I am very satisfied with my experience. I am a college student and needed to have my valve cover gaskets replaced, Richard and his employees stayed 2 hours past closing time to finish my vehicle that day, because he knew that I only had one means of transportation. On top of that, he offers fair and competitive pricing, I called around to several shops getting quotes and his was the best priced. He is a top competitor of car care in the Valdosta area.

Valdosta Transmission is a great company, when other automotive businesses shut me away for a difficult job Valdosta Transmission stepped up and decide to help me out which I am very great full for. They do great work and their customer service is top notch, I've never had a company call me after to check up on how my car was doing anywhere else! 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

After a transmission fluid change, the torque converter shutter is gone and my 4runner is shifting like new! Richard was more than helpful and even went out of his way to get the part that I needed when he didn't have it in stock. The price was good and its been about 2 months now with no problems! Its hard finding mechanics to trust and I would gladly use Valdosta Transmission again.

If I could give 10 stars I would!!!!! Honest, GREAT customer service, quality work, can't I ask for moreI had an estimate from O'Steen Volkswagen on my Routan to replace the transmission that would have cost me $6000. I took my van to Richard, owner of Valdosta Transmission, and he gave me some phenomenal advice that saved me over $5000 dollars. I didn't get any work done at his shop and he could have just let me believe that I needed to spend $3000 to fix it at his shop. He was honest and walked me through how to work with the manufacturer and dealership to get the work I needed for a greatly reduced price.If you need an honest, knowledgeable mechanic....call Richard at Valdosta Transmission.

Valdosta Transmission is what all mechanic shops should strive to be, and I can't say enough good things about it. Richard was flexible with my schedule, incredibly professional and helpful, and even let me store my Jeep in his lot for a couple days while I tried to decide what I wanted to do. Overall he is a top notch mechanic, and I will be definitely bringing my Jeep back to Valdosta Transmission in the future.

I had trouble with my transmission and was referred to Mr. Richard. So glad I came to his shop. I took my vehicle in on a Wednesday morning and the repairs were finished the next day. I couldn't be any happier with the work he's done. He was very kind and helpful and his price was very reasonable. Thank You!

Told Adam exactly what I wanted done to my truck. No calls for 8 days. Went down there today and they didn't know why they had my truck, but they did confirm they performed a test drive. After I told them what I wanted done again (rear output shaft bearing and seal on transfer case) they didn't want to do the job citing parts are hard to find and part shortages. So I'm gonna order the parts tonight and do the job myself this weekend.Oh, and when I started my truck up, the 30 year old AM/FM radio was blasting!!! I never use it.Hope you guys get it together.

This shocked me when I saw the problem I was having with my F-150 in my mind I'm thinking the transmission was trashed however it was just the throttle sensor they could have easily said it was the transmission I was prepared to pay and have it ripped out however the honesty that is seldom in this business with transmission companies just overwhelmed me I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that they were not reaching for money they were only reaching for solutions that helped me save mine....I am not getting paid to post this I'm only being totally honest regardless of who you've dealt with in the past it would be a shame if you were to overlook this company my name is Paul Smith and I wholeheartedly support Valdosta transmission....

The owner, Richard, was extremely helpful and the customer service was beyond extraordinary. I was visiting in town for the weekend and he made it his personal mission to get my transmission rebuilt as fast as possible. He even offered to get me a hotel room. On top of the fast and friendly service their prices are better than anyone in town. I would HIGHLY recommend Valdosta transmissions to anyone who needs work done.

This was probably the greatest experience I've ever had with any automotive place. Heres my story, my father passed away a year ago and he was a great mechanic and auto body painter. He had a 99 Dodge Durango he built from the ground up that had a transmission problem that I waited all year to get the money to take care of it because it meant so much to him. Richard was the first call I made and I was so excited. Later on I was told to change my choice (something told me not too and I'm sure glad I didn't). The other shop I have no shame in saying was Lowndes county transmission he gave a "pretty price" but this man ruined everything. He began ranting on the phone cussing about people's beliefs and choices in life calling them names which I can't even repeat this to me was very disrespectful (considering his reviews speak for his work) I reconsidered before they could even tow my vehicle to the other shop. I told Richard about my encounter and he actually took off the total price id pay all because I had to deal with the other shops disrespect and scrutiny!! He agreed to still fix my dads car and within days. He kept me in every loop through the process. Richard gave me something more than service and respect, he gave me a part of my dad back. I can't thank him enough truly.

Valdosta Transmission is awesome. The staff/service people were just so friendly and caring. We took my truck in on a Monday evening, and it was ready Thursday afternoon. If ever we need any services for our vehicles, Valdosta Transmission is our first choice all the way. We highly recommend Valdosta Transmission.

The reviews are spot on. Lisa, Richard and the entire team at Valdosta Transmission will take excellent care of you and your car. We trust them with our transmission work all the way from Gator Chevrolet in Jasper, Florida and they are well worth the trip!

I was recommended to Valdosta Transmissions by Bens tire& Auto, I was having an electrical problem with my car causing the transmission to act funny. After talking to Richard I knew I had taken my car to the right place. I was Really impressed to find the owner Richard actually rebuilds the transmissions himself , for 32 years. Richard checked my car and found a bad ground wire on the engine. When I asked him how much I owed him, He said no charge it was an easy one to find. He also told me it was a common issue on my year car. I just wanted to say thank u what a great company and staff thank u Richard. May god bless you and yours. Sincerely ( a customer for life)
