I just had some minor work done on my car here and the bill was very unreasonable considering the services that were rendered; and that s after I complained and received a *discount.*They tried charging me $80 to swap out a battery and plug one leaking tire. We settled @ $51 but i felt like I was being overcharged.The lead mechanic complained that, because they were understaffed, they could not dedicate any more time to my vehicle which requires a full electric diagnostic check. (Some things are not receiving any power such as the passenger-side window and the rear door/hatch.)I left my car there overnight and walked 20 minutes home to my apartment. Then I walked back there today to pick it up because I will need to drive to work tomorrow. I thought they had plenty of time to check the vehicle over to find the problem and fix it. They had roughly 24 hours.FYI - The last new battery [that I had recently installed myself from AutoZone a few months back] was inferior, so Everett T&AR assisted me with replacing it. They also plugged one of my tires that had a nail in it (and a slow leak) but I just now realized I was charged for 2 tire plugs. I wish I had realized it at the shop because the mechanic and I were bickering about what I was getting charged for and we had to come to an agreement.In the end, I was over-charged for a tire plug that I was charged $25 for. I m not happy and not gonna bother calling them again to fight some more because we already reconciled at a lower price that seemed troublesome for them. I m over it, I ll just never go back or refer anyone there. Their loss because I would have brought them some more business for myself and my circle of connections nearby.

In late January, the transmission on my 2015 suburban came to their shop damaged, and they rebuilt it with a reasonable price. And now, I've already put 10000+ HARD miles on that rebuilt transmission, and it always shifts pretty well. Time and mileage can examine and prove their quality of service. They really did a great job! Alan and his technicians are very friendly and helpful too.Service: Transmission

Came in here for diagnostics on my transmission. I was told I needed a whole new transmission but wasn t given a reason why (Roughly 10k for everything). I decided to come in and the man at the front was very rude. I asked what ran up on the code for the diagnostic and he said I don t know . I was very frustrated after going back and forth with him and wanted to leave so I paid. When he handed me my keys he said Mitsubishis and Hyundai keep us in business it s great. I just felt very off put by it made me not want to get serviced by them. The receipt he gave me had no information on it besides that I refused a new transmission. Felt like they didn t even run the tests. When I had dropped my car off in the beginning a different guy was very helpful and great. But this one was so rude and not helpful at all.

I brought (towed) my 2003 Toyota Camry to the shop with a transmission issue. About a year ago my son had taken his newer Honda there for the same problem, the transmission. They fixed his transmission by replacing a line. Simple fix. He was delighted. They treated him very fairly. He recommended them to me. I too, was very happy. I have a little knowledge of cars and often am able to make a repair myself, but not transmissions. However, I suspected the Camry's issue was a rusted transmission line. Sure enough, that's what it was. They replaced the line and suggested the rear brakes needed some work. No pressure, just a heads up. I gave the go ahead and that was taken care of in a timely manner. I thought the price was fair and wouldn't hesitate to bring my car there again.Services: Transmission, Brake service & repair

Had a great experience they rebuilt my transmission about 2 weeks ago they told me my vehicle will be ready in week and it was. They gave me a two year warranty and a free check up after 2000 Miles. So far I have no issues with my transmission, If that continues I think I found a new place to take my truck.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

The quote was about 800 lower than actual cost. Transmission replaced, but gear selector incorrectly reassembled. Noticeable engine vibration through the steering wheel. You get what you pay for, take your car to the dealer if you can. I m not going to waste my time explaining why the gear selector shouldn t move through the gear selections and a shop should just admit if they don t know how to put it back together correctly.Update; transmission rebuild last maybe 5,000 miles. Avoid.2nd update: they removed the engine brace rebuilding the transmission and didn t replace it. Avoid these people.

Great experience�at Everett Transmission with Al and his team - super friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was having transmission issues with my 2005 Jeep Wrangler and brought it in for Al to take a look. They quickly did a few things to get me back on the road but ultimately I needed a new transmission. Al gave me my options, a fair price and time to decide what to do. In the end, they rebuilt the transmission�and my Jeep is running like new. Everett Transmission is now my go-to place and would highly�recommend�without reservation.Services: Transmission, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

My car had a "SHIFT TO PARK" issue and the accessories would not shut off when shutting down. Antonio diagnosed the issue and put in a new Shifter Assembly in a timely manner once the parts were ordered and received. Thank you Antonio for a great job.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

I brought my car there when I was 17 to get the transmission fixed. Now 46 years later I m took my truck there because it was shaking. Alan took it for a ride and told me to bring it back in a week when he had the space to fit it in. I dropped it off at 9am and at 4 he called me and said it was all set. Great work Alan. Thanks I highly recommend Everett transmission for all your auto and truck needs.Service: Steering & suspension repair

I am way over due for this review. I just wanted to let everyone know how good this place is. I brought in my boyfriend s car because he had some issues with his car s transmission. I met Al the owner of the shop, and we began talking, he asked me some questions about the car, and he was very sweet. He has also lived in Everett for a couple years now so he is very familiar with the area. Al was very kind enough to call my boyfriend s dealer and found out I could take his car there instead, and all the work for the transmission would be covered since it still is under guarantee. He found that out for me when I had completely forgotten to ask my boyfriend about this first. Al did not have to do that, anyone else probably would have just taken my money, but Al was very kind enough to do that. I appreciate his honesty so much. He has numerous services you can get at his shop. Very nice guy! I will always be thankful of him and I will be back for future services! I definitely would recommend to anyone.

We were traveling and had a rear wheel bearing failure in Virginia that was diagnosed and replaced at a Firestone store. When they completed the work our truck still vibrated the same way it did before they started work on it and we discovered differential fluid leaking from the replaced axle seal when we stopped for gas a few hundred miles down the road. The Firestone store in Wilmington did warranty repair and when they were done the axle seal was leaking much worse than when we brought it to them and then we were told that they had no one certified to do the repair. Everett Transmission Replace the rear wheel bearing and seals that Firestone failed to do properly. Antonio called to tell me that the passenger side rear wheel bearing also needed to be replaced. Once Everett Transmission replaced both wheel bearings, there was no noise or vibration and we drove the truck to Columbus Ohio then home to New Orleans. We greatly appreciate the honesty and quality of service provided by Everett Transmission. In addition to the lack of expertise we witnessed at Firestone stores, the Wilmington store s failure to meet the Firestone warranty obligation, I have to wonder if the store in Virginia replaced the wrong wheel bearing.

I purchased a new transmission a year-and-a-half ago for my 2007 Honda Accord. The service and price was very satisfactory. In addition I brought it there for my 2000 as well as my 20000 mile service, The Mechanics for quick professional and courteous I would recommend them strongly to anyone looking for a good mechanic.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

A mechanic friend and I were recently discussing shops we've had bad experiences with and I was reminded of my experience at Everett Trans that happened before Google reviews were a thing.Per the recommendation of a family member, I brought my vehicle here to have the transmission rebuilt for $1800 and Al was initially friendly enough as well as staff. After about 900 highway miles, it needed the governor pressure sensors replaced because it wasn't up shifting back to first so they replaced them. Fast forward another couple thousand highway miles and the whole trans needs to be rebuilt again but Al wants another $1250 and mistakenly I agree. The 2nd time I go to pick it up, he tosses me the keys without wanting to answer any more questions so I take it and leave.Anyone want to guess how long the second rebuild lasted? About 6K highway miles and it wouldn't shift into 3rd anymore and was making a rubbing noises which sounded like the input shaft above 25mph. At this point I got rid of the vehicle and got something else.As a mechanic myself, I understand that every shop has hits and misses so I'll avoid giving a 1 star review, it's just unfortunate that this was my experience with them.

This review is overdue, but this place is great! As a young gal, this was my first time taking my car to the mechanic so I knew just about nothing. They got my car in the next day, explained what they needed to do/gave a quote, and it was done same day! Even refilled my oil, which I had no idea was low. I would definitely recommend!

I went to two mechanics after my clutch went out asking if they could help. Both said they "didn't do that" and then told me about Everett Transmission. After calling I was able to get the car towed in and they had everything ready the week after. I would recommend this place to anyone who has transmission issues.

Amazing, Outstanding, Impeccable, and guaranteed satisfaction!!! I had a transmission issue with my X5 BMW 4.8i. In fact, BMW of Boston wrongfully diagnosed the problem. Unhappy with BMW of Boston, I brought the car to Everett Transmission. Mr. Luis, a very pleasant man, has warmly welcome me and towed my car to his shop for free. Everett Transmission precisely and effectively fixed the problem that BMW of Boston could not fix. There is a highly respectful staff at Everett Transmission. They work well with Extended Warranty Company. They don't want troubles, but they fix troubles on a timely fashion in a reasonably affordable price. They are very courteous and try to fix problems as soon as possible.Overall, Everett Transmission is the best of all. I am so glad I have brought my car Everett Transmission. I will refer all my friends and family members to that amazing place.

After having several transmission issues with my 2002 Odyssey van I consulted Yelp and Google reviews and found this shop. Called and talked with the owner and made arrangement to drop off for full analysis and their recommendation. Louis handled the check-in and very capably explained the process they would use and the estimated costs of the likely options they would have. He called later in the day, just as he promised he would, and gave me the options. I chose the remanufacture because of the 3 year/100,000mile nationwide warranty. He said he would need three days to turn it around which fit my schedule, but I told him I really needed it by 4pm of the third day to take family members to Logan for an international flight. Louis called me a day early to say that the van was done early because he knew I really needed it on time. When I picked it up I then scheduled a time for them to do a timing belt replacement.This is one of the most friendly, competent and professional car repair shops I have ever used and I find their prices to be very reasonable, especially considering that this is Boston and not rural Virginia where my wife and I lived before moving here to be with my son and his family in retirement (assisting with childcare logistics). This van works really well for our current situation and I hope to get another 3-4 years of service out of it.My one wish? That I would have done my search for a great transmission shop at the first indication of trouble. The level of diagnostics that these folks do is extremely good and they really know transmissions. Would likely have saved me about $600 that I paid for a temp sensor replacement and three transmission flushes.

I had my 2007 Ford Explorer fixed here and the repair went perfectly. They are exceptionally nice and easy to deal with and the price was awesome for high quality work. They also offer a warranty on the repairs. They knew what was wrong with my vehicle immediately because Explorers commonly have transmission problems.

Al and his team are a solid 10. Not your typical run around auto service shop. Will handle your vehicle like its theirs, will treat you like family, and will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. Can safely recommend Al and his team at Everett Transmission without a hesitation.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

Had purchased an older vehicle a month ago . And Al was so very helpful with re building my transmission as well as fixing a few other issues that I had not even thought about . He uncovered that my rear wheel bearing was about to come off and also fixed my E brake that was no longer functioning. It was long process but he was very patient and answered my questions . Sometimes its not always about getting the job done cheapest. It was quality of the actual work . I'll be using Al again in the future. He's a stand up guy.
