Best

These people helped me with my car. These people really care for their customers and I appreciate them helping me a lot.

Worst

I went to the guys over at Budget Transmission Center a couple of times and I was really not impressed with them. First and foremost they take far too long to do the job. I went...

They're thorough and will do the job right. 10/15/2013

Budget Transmission Center fixes the car and they fix it right. I've taken eight or so cars there. I have a lot of old cars they've worked on: transmissions, engine lights, mufflers, and all sorts of other stuff. They don't take short cuts and they give you good customer service. I'll have a car not riding right, where the wheel keeps falling off, and take it to another service station. They'll always check the nuts and not really solve the problem at all. The first time I take it to Budget Transmission Center, they'll fix the bars and I'll never have problems again. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 10/15/2013

I was pleasantly surprised at Budget Transmission Center's service and their pleasantness to work with. I have used them several times. The first time we thought there was a transmission issue with the car. Gears were slipping, and we thought the car was dying. Joe took a look at it and recommended a much cheaper solution, cheaper enough that we thought we'd take a shot with it. It was a small gamble but it worked out. The transmission did not have to be replaced. We took our car in again two months later, and once more, Joe took care of it. more

Good customer service. 10/11/2013

Budget Transmission Center gave me a reasonable estimate and a reasonable price. They gave me a ride home as well, which I appreciate. The only issue I had was not with the service or anything; it was just that it took longer than expected. The vehicle was tied up for a full day. They were replacing a cylinder on the clutch. I had worked with them in the past and knew I could count on their service and their professionalism. more

I'm not satisfied with the service at all. Very dishonest. 10/10/2013

I went to Budget Transmission Center on a Wednesday. They checked it out on that Wednesday, then didn't tell me anything until the next week. They told me it would be around $600. I said that was alright. I waited a few days, and they said they needed to do more things to my car, so it would cost $2,700 in total. I said, "No, that's impossible". They had just told me it would be only $600! After that, I waited another couple of weeks to call and ask what was going on. They told me they were working on it, but I went there to look and saw that nobody had even touched it. They had told me it would take just a few days to fix the transmission. Everything ended up taking almost four WEEKS. Once I did get it back, the transmission still had a leak in it. I'll tell people to go somewhere else, not here. more

My truck is running fine, service was good, they are very friendly, and they did a good job.\r \r Sammy would call about once a week to update me on the car and towards the end Sammy called every few days to tell me about the project. more

Understanding, friendly, delivered everything I asked for 8/22/2013

I first learned of Budget Transmission Center online, and I am very happy with the service. Pick-up and delivery is included with the service, so even though I'm a little far from them, they still make it very convenient for me. I called them because I needed a new belt and water pump, but they also fixed other things that needed to be done with my car. I let them know that I was going through certain changes with my car, and they were very understanding and delivered everything I needed. They also have a warranty on their services. They worked promptly, and I didn't have to wait long at all. Staff is very friendly, and I will continue using them. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend their services to anyone. more

This has not been a good experience at all. 8/14/2013

With Budget Transmission Center, I have had to take the car back several times to have repairs completed. One of these times was because a part wasn't available. I don't think anybody even looks at the car until the afternoon, so whatever time I expect to have it returned to me is postponed. It hasn't been a good experience at all. I have been very disappointed. I took my car there 8 or 9 years ago, and it was all fine; however, things have changed so much that I wouldn't recommend going there. RESPONSE FROM Budget Transmission Center: I am very sorry that you feel that way. It is not like us to have these many issues with any car. I value you as a customer and will do what ever we can to make it up to you. Again I am sorry I will work on what's going on to repair our scheduling issues and our time frame so that we don't disappoint you or anyone else. I thank you for your feed back and look forward to making things up to you. Thank you. Sammy more

Skilled workers, but bad scheduling habits. 8/13/2013

This was my third time getting work done at Budget Transmission Center. I am satisfied with the work they do. The only problem I have is the amount of time it takes. For a person who needs their car to get back and forth and to transport themselves around, it's hard when you bring it in on Monday and don't get it back until Friday! They give me a date to bring it in, but then don't tell me when it'll be back. The scheduling is pretty poor. Other than that, they are courteous and really do alright with the work itself. RESPONSE FROM Budget Transmission Center: I am very sorry that you feel that way. It is not like us to have these many issues with any car. I value you as a customer and will do what ever we can to make it up to you.

I was having some car trouble. When I took it in for an oil change, they told me the transmission was leaking. So I called up Budget Transmission Center after seeing their advertisement in the phone book. They said, ""Bring it in, we'll look at it free of charge."" It turns out it wasn't the transmission but something else. They fixed it up for a good price. They even took it for a test drive after. It's been fine so I'm very happy with them. more

I have had several experiences with Budget Transmission Center over the last three years. They're great. I find them to be really trustworthy people, and that's what you want when you go to a mechanic. They won't rip you off. more

Great work, long process 6/6/2013

They told me my truck would be ready in 2 weeks and it was more like 6 weeks. The time was my only issue but my truck is running fine, service was good, they are very friendly, and they did a good job. Sammy would call about once a week to update me on the car and towards the end Sammy called every few days to tell me about the project. more

Best quote, quick service, picked up my car for me! 6/4/2013

My transmission blew out about a year ago, and Budget Transmission Center were quick, and great to work with when that happened. They came to my apartment and towed my car to their shop and kept in contact with me about the work being done. They have been absolutely phenomenal and accommodating for me. I have been using them ever since because they gave me the best quote and had my car back to me in two days. more

Work diagnosed and fixed in one day! 5/30/2013

Budget Transmission Center worked on a seal leakage on my axel which was leaking transmission fluid. They diagnosed it, fixed it, and transported me to the job all in one day! It was a fast and easy fix for my car that I really appreciate. more

Very easy, friendly, and affordable 5/28/2013

I needed new brakes and I brought my car in to Budget Transmission Center for that. They were able to get the brake work done for me within one day, which was great. I ended up having trouble with the new brakes and had to take the car in again the following week. They were able to fix the issue and replace the brakes at no additional cost that second time. I continue to use them and I recommend them to all my students and coworkers. They are reasonably priced and very friendly. I especially like that when I call to get a quote, it is not just a quote that I receive but the actual price that I am charged. The only recommendation that I would have for them is that they should call the customer ahead of time when they will be keeping the car overnight. The second time I was there for the brakes, they let me know they would be keeping the car overnight until four o'clock in the afternoon and it was difficult to coordinate a ride from work that late in the day. more

A painless way to have your transmission fixed. 5/23/2013

My transmission stopped working so I took it in to Budget Transmission Center. The place was very clean and the people were very pleasant. That's why we picked them. My experience so far has been great but I hesitate to give them full marks because I would like to see how the vehicle runs a bit longer. more
