Said he would rebuild my turbo 350, my case was missing a chunk. He said he was giving me a better case. I got back a dud of a transmission. Painted up, I just took it out of my car recently thing is pissing transmission fluid from the new pan gasket. The front pump is beat, yes he said he would replace it. I have a nice car and because of an injury It takes me a lot of time to pull motor/transmission. Also doing a good job, my summer was ruined last year. He just goes" pull it out ill change the pump right infront of you" . Some people can't just drop a transmission that easy. Shop was a complete mess, the bench tester was filthy and full of parts. As soon as I hooked up the linkage it didn't feel anything like my previous transmission. Tells me to my face he bench tested it, he absolutely did not. I got duped. He was nice and definitely has good reviews. There was a nice older truck there but I GOT DUPED.UPDATE I was never offered any money back , i told him it wasn't working as soon as I got the car back together last summer. He has offered to refund me some money now that I left a negative and honest review. You never know what someone is going through. To casually tell me to "just pull it back out " is ridiculous. This transmission was immediately leaking everywhere, shift selector bushing and the pan. The amount of slop i could feel just hooking up the linkage i knew it was at least a very used unit. I got another rebuilt transmission same case i had before. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL MAKE ME HAPPY.

John is a one man show at Top Notch and stands behind all his work. Not only does he take the time explain his work to a customer, he is incredibly genuine. Ive been to a lot of mechanics and John stands above them all. He built me a 700r4 for an unheard of price with a very quick turnaround. John passes the savings to his customers by building transmissions in volume. You'll be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere else.Service: Transmission

John has rebuilt several transmissions for me. His work is high quality and the parts used are high quality as well. Great turn around. The most honest mechanic I have met tell you whats going on with the transmission and even shows you pictures and videos. I highly recommend him for transmission work. Prices are great too.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

I didn't think my truck would ever run again I really needed a reliable vehicle for my children this Winter John went above and beyond to repair everything that I needed to have done and even went into deep demonstration of hands on to let me see exactly what he had to do not only was it a pleasure to have him work on my truck but a pleasure doing business with him as well I would recommend John to anybody thank you again for my truck it runs better than before and going above and beyond. Definitely could use more mechanics like you in the world.Service: Transmission

Installed a rebuilt transmission from John which had a minor glitch. John went above and beyond to stand behind his warranty and make sure we were happy with his work. He is truly a stand up guy which the world could use more of nowadays. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much John.

Hands down the best deal on having a transmission rebuilt. Had a full rebuild done for $450. That s no typo. I was quoted 4x that at every shop I spoke with. Found him through a craigslist ad. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. Worked around the clock to get it back to me in a timely manor. I drove down from Syracuse, well worth the hour a half drive. Would travel twice as far again if I ever needed( not that I will need to) this work speaks for itself! If I could rate higher than five stars I would without a doubt.
