Eh, gotta give props and mahalos to Tracy at Certified Transmission Differential. Had my Chevy Silverado towed in 'cause transmission had no forward gears and Tracy made quick work of the rebuild. Truck is running smooth now, no slippage or issues. Plus, price was cheaper than I thought it'd be. If you need transmission work, this place gives fast, friendly service at a fair price. Would definitely recommend.

Certified trans is the go to Tracy is easy to work with and very knowledgeable. I went in for a rebuild. But wanted to do couple more things to my transmission. We agreed and it went well. Super fast with the service. Got my truck back in 3 working days. I will continue to do business with Tracy highly recommended

Here s my story about this business. First of all, absolutely amazing service. A while ago my engine light came on, (2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, 42,000 miles) then it went off, then it went on. I went to Artesian Auto, which is the best mechanic shop on the island. Aaron is the shop manager. Nicest, most polite guy I ve ever met.He tested my engine and saw it was something with the transmission. He recommended I call a place called Certified Transmission Differential. I called and Tracey answered. I told him my symptoms. He was straight to the point and said he has been in business for 40 years and bet everything it was my torque converter. I told my Wife and she said she would feel more comfortable taking it to the Dodge dealership.So I honored that and took it there. $204 dollars for a diagnostic, and they said you guessed it torque converter is bad.Here s the difference between them and CTD:1) dodge was going to put a refurbished torque converter (that s fine, doesn t have to be new, just fixed??) into the van, slap it in and call it a day, $2900. Nice, thank you Dodge for giving me another problem in about 30-40k miles. Dodge offers a 2 year, 24k warranty.2) Tracey has a guy who personally rebuilds them and has for about the entire 40 years he has been in business, they never break, AND they add the updated OEM parts to it so it will last as long as a torque converter SHOULD ACTUALLY LAST, which should be about 120,000 miles (or more!) Oh, and Tracey charged me $1361.00. Why? Because it costs x dollars to get the part AND have it built properly and stuff, plus the rate of work on it. He can do things faster and more efficiently but he s honest and only charges for the work he does because HE LOVES HIS JOB. Oh, and he didn t have to, cause he said I wouldn t need it, but for my Wife s peace of mind, he gave us a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty. Problem is we are moving off island. He told me it won t break, but IF something happened, he would ship me the part free shipping for me, and I would just take it into someone else. Awesome.So there you have it. THANK YOU, MAHALO NUI LOA Tracey. I hope you are in business for a long, LONG time.

Tracey is the best transmission specialist. He gave me a quote that is 80% less than the dealer's estimate. He was accomodating as well by getting my vehicle back on the road by the end of day. I hope to not see him again for any transmission issues, but i know he will be honest and fair about pricing during this challenging economy.

I called and asked what their rate were for a diagnostic for my transmission-FREE. Tracey was knowledgeable, genuine and friendly. My car was a little more complex and he offered for me to come again to do another scan on my van. I haven t had any repairs or work done yet but first impression means everything. Thank you Tracey.

We are very grateful for Certified Transmission Differential - Auto Transmission Repair & Rebuild Service, Honolulu, (we were referred by the Shop Manager Zack at Starkey s Auto Repair), who placed Customer Service above sales/monetary gain with unnecessary repairs and returning our business delivery vehicle back in a timely manner, (Unbelievably, the NEXT DAY!), at a more than reasonable cost . It is a blessing to our business to have found a Transmission Shop with such high morals and integrity . Thank You .JeremyFurniture Now OnlineService: Transmission

These guys are dependable and unbelievably fair, where pricing is concerned.I cannot see myself using another differential shop as long as these guys are on Oahu.My vehicle is foreign and frankly, a pain in the *ss, and nobody ever wants to work on it. Tracy was not only up for the challenge, but he delivered. I picked my car up a month ago, and it has been nothing but smooth sailing. No slippage. No problems. No concerns. If you are having clutch or transmission issues, I urge you to give these guys a call. You will be so glad you did.Service: Transmission

Anyone looking for transmission repairs or even general repairs NEEDS to check out Certified. These guys are legit. Tracey and Brahda are the real deal. My AOD trans in my 1993 F-150 took a dump on me, lost drive and OD. Contacted Tracey and he took me right away. And just like that, boom....repairs done right.These guys have decades of experience, technical knowledge, and skills. Honest work at an honest price. So forget rays, kiyos, all trans, and anyone else. Certified is gold in my book. Highly recommended.Service: Transmission

A very reputable shop referred me to Certified for transmission work, so I took my Explorer to this guy. Owner can't or doesn't want to deal with extended warranty companies and was not willing to take on the challenge. Long story short, he held on to my car for more than 4 months and only called the extended warranty company twice while he had it sitting in his lot. I wouldn't recommend taking any car to him. I ended up going to Hawaii Transmission on Sand Island Access Road who has over 30 years of experience as well as taking on extended warranty companies.Service: Transmission

A solid place to receive work done on a vehicle. Employees were professional and did the repairs correctly the first time. No upselling on prices which was nice. Quality work and honest craftsmanship all around.

I called about my transmission having problems, he told me to come in and he ll check it out for free. Told me I need some new motor mounts and gave me a great price. I can tell this is a good honest mechanic.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

Short and to the point visit. He knew what he was doing and handled it quickly at half the price of the next guy. It was only a transmission quick learn, but I'll definitely go back if I need something else done that I can't do myself.
