Exceptional price and customer service! This place was recommended to us by our mechanic due to the repairs necessary for our rear differential being more than they can typically accommodate. Billy gave us an honest quote based on what we described to him, but managed to actually save us money even though our truck needed more work than we original thought. The repairs were fast and they even guaranteed their work by saying they would check it in 500 miles. We couldn't be more relieved, happy, and grateful!

Was referred to these guys by Certified Transmission and what a reference. Called and explained my situation, over the phone the guy patiently explained things and sent me over some forms to complete some measurements to provide them so they could custom make me some parts I needed. They could have easily scheduled me into the shop so they could run the measurements and charge me labor and diagnosis to do so but walked me through it to save me some time and money. Once I got the information over to them, they were prompt to respond with quesitons to be sure they had it all correct, said they would get on the project and call me when they were done. Phone rang the next day, parts were built and ready. I was able to send someone over to pick them up same day and the following day have the new drive shafts installed. The fit perfect, no complications at all. Truly impressive service and that is super hard to find these days. Will certainly use them again when needed and tell everyone I know. Price was more than reasonable and less than other customer shops online charge and I have to believe these guys are providing a better prodcut.

They have rebuilt the rear end on my 04 F150 pick up in an orderly and fast manner. I have not gone past my 500 mile initial break in for the rear end yet but so far the truck seems to be running terrific. Great bunch of men.

Billy and his shop were so busy that they couldn't get to my jeep. I busted a rear lower shock bracket, but thank you again for the emergency referral.He got us going again. When it comes time for a new rear Axle Upgrade Ford 9 or Dana 44 I'll ask Billy and let them do it For Sure ! There is a reason they get so many good reviews.

I'm sure they know what they're doing and will do a great job on your transmission. Just be ready there's a man there who is a super big jerk. I tow vehicles there often and every time I walk into this shop my day is ruined for the next few hours as I'm thinking what I did wrong to him and how I might avoid him next time I see him... He usually is to the far-right when you enter the building. Just keep walking straight and you'll meet the friendliest people!

Gears fixed up the diff s on my jeep fast, and with precision.Had excessive noise and vibration from a bad install before bringing it to them. I think Billy was the tech who fixed it up. No noise, no vibration, absolutely mint craftsmanship. Can t wait to break in the new parts and go wheeling.Would recommend this shop to others looking for diff work. 10/10

These guys know their stuff and don't do things half way. Inherited an '05 F150 that needed attention. It wouldn't go into 4WD & the RF bearing started making noise. After putting in a quart of gear oil in the front & rear diffs, there was no doubt I needed a reliable shop to take it to. Another shop quoted $5,300 just to replace the differential. That quote told me the other shop was just swapping parts & not correctly diagnosing the problem. Gears Unlimited accurately assessed the problem. The differential didn't need to be replaced. It just needed new vacuum switches to get the 4WD working again. They also inspected the vacuum lines, found some cracks/leaks & replaced all the lines so there wouldn't be any issues. They also took care of both front bearings and did it all for about half of what the other shop quoted just to swap out the differential. If you need driveline work this is definitely the shop to bring it to.

Cost way more than quoted and then after I received the narrowed rearend it was missing a gasket between the carrier and there were bolts missing. Definitely NOT what I had paid for! Will NOT be recommending this place to anyone!!

I am very pleased with the work performed on my truck. The mechanics changed my pinion bearings in less than 24 hours. Everything looks great and it s riding so much better. Thank you Gears Unlimited staff

Ordered new front and rear gears with a limited slip for my Toyota Tundra. After shipping the install was completed in a timely fashion with guys that stand behind their work. After following the break in directions I then had the fluid swapped out and couldn t be happier with the finished product. 10/10 recommend gears unlimited

The front yoke and pinion seal had broken and had to be replaced to get us back on the road. They got the job done very fast. Knowledge, courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend this shop!

I have had to have a couple of maintenance items completed in the last year and Billy and his team have been exceptional, I really did not know this kind of customer service was still around. I highly recommend them for any of your needs, they make you just want to come back...

All rude dry personality all look like brothers with no emotion they seem depressed here.Dirty hands on the light interior of my car oil and grease stains. How hard is it to wash your hands before you start touching and working on the the interior of a car. Broke chunks out of my wood grain. Side air bag piece hanging off had to snap back in myself. I do not recommend but good luck if you do. I would definitely check my car inside and out before leaving if you do decide to use this horrible place.

Was referred to this business by a friend for the fluid change of my differentials. Price was good and expected a good service but noticed afterwards my running boards on my truck were bent on both sides. Would not recommend going to them and paying a bit extra some place else.

The only reason they got 1 star is because yes they did replace their bad differential in my truck. However, because the differential was never filled with gear oil, like they said it was to begin with, it locked up while my husband was driving. Dispite what Billy the owner, screamed at us across the counter, wants us to believe a severally locked up front differential, such as one that does not have gear oil, can cause OTHER DRIVETRAIN ISSUES. Now, thanks to Gears Unlimited, I not only needed the transfer case but now a transmission because they did not fill the differential and told us they did. And yes I have the pictures to show that the differential did not have gear oil in it since July. Spider gears won't show signs of rust with gear oil in a differential. I am not ASE certified but I have work in the industry enough to know it connects and works together. I went to Gears because they were know to be good. Biggest regret, will not be recommending anyone to them anymore.

Guys can t even get a drive shaft right for me, took three times THREE (3) to make a correct drive shaft and still will not function correctly. The first time I called and explained my set up, I was TOLD to measure from the center of u joint to rear u joint as well having an 1 space with the yoke pull outward. I did as exact time, I received the drive shaft and it was 3 to short. Then they remade the 2nd one it was the correct length , but took a 5 min drive and the glue came undone on the shaft, and then I had to pay tow fees and took me 3hrs to get home. THEN I had another one made and then it twisted the drive shaft into two pieces. Now they are saying my car was rubbing on my exhaust and it broke because of that, my exhaust was in fact NOT rubbing and had 2 of clearance! These people are a JOKE and do not use them, they told me after this 3rd shaft was made that that had full 100% confidence in it and it broke and then didn t want to refund me any money back at all, it was non refundable. After all the trouble I went thru with them I highly do not recommend! They told me they do not make aluminum drive shafts for my set up when all day long they are making them for other similar set ups. It all COMES DOWN TO THE MONEY BECAUSE CARBON FIBER IS HIGHER DOLLAR THEN ALUMINUM AND THEY DONT WANT TO LOSE MONEY. Stay away! Stay away!They then say, they can t make me an aluminum driveshaft because I make too much power, 800? Really yeah that s why I ve been running a DSS shaft for years on my old set up and made more power on it then I did on youre shaft and still can t hold. U guys are so far behind in the car industrial it s not even funny .

Great local place to get parts for my mega truck. They have also set up my gears and lockers

Awful customer service. Charges for more shop hours than actually spent on gear installs without disclosing that with customer and loses supplied parts. Not the same gears unlimited that it was a couple years ago. I've spent thousands with them on gear installs and drive shaft builds. I'll never go back.

They do wonderful honest work. Had them install a Locker and new seals in the front axle of my Jeep. Had one seal fail on me took it back up to them and they fixed it free of charge with no hassle or questions. Also had them fix a leak on my transfer case. I will never use any other shop, only Gears will be touching my Jeep from now on. You guys rock!

Billy and his team at Gears Unlimited were great to work with. They were able to fix my truck within a few days and were very knowledgeable.

I own a shop and have been referring and using Gears unlimited for years. Recently sent my father in for rear end rebuild. Had a warranty issue with a seal failure and they took care of it 100%. 1st problem ever using them, but it happens sometimes. They even replaced both the ring and pinion. Very stand up! Thank you Darren! I will continue to use and recommend!!

Very nice staff seems to be on the up-and-up the guy pulled me to the back to show me the work he needed to do to correct my DriveshaftAnd finished in the same day. Decent price and my truck performance is excellent. I will be returning in the future.

I got my front diff repaired and whatever parts my repair kit missed they got for me. Comparing the cost of getting a repaired unit against repairing a used one is a bit more than half and looks basically like new.

Did a great job on my Jeep and were nice enough to drop it off for me at an alignment shop in Independence when they were finished making repairs.

Took a Ford F150 rear axle with one side bent 3.5" one way and 1.5" another. Came back the next day and it was perfectly straight. Very fast service, nice folks and clean showroom. They know what they are doing.

They have experienced guys here that will take the time to look your vehicle over and make the right call not just the money making decisions. They are very specialized knowledgeable in and around gears for your vehicle. They helped us figure out a noise that was coming from the drivetrain and got it fixed.

I brought all of the parts to this guy and all they had to do was install them.Their price was almost $800. On top of that the owner is arrogant and has zero customer service skills.I would suggest going elsewhere.

Had them swap the 3.08 gears to 4.10 in my 2015 Tahoe 4x4. Price quoted was fair and accurate. The time quoted was exactly what it took them to do the job. They answered all my questions and treated me right. Need anything drive line wise don't waste your time anywhere else!
