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

They were in and out with how they did the job. This was my first time using them and I'd go back. The prices were reasonable and they were very honest and straightforward with me. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 4/22/2016

I go to the guys at Budget Transmission Center all the time. These guys are really great and I always feel comfortable leaving my car with them. The thing that really keeps me coming back though is their prices. They really have great value and they don't try to get you for every penny that you own which I really appreciate. They do great work at a great price, why would you go anywhere else? more

The service was good 4/13/2016

I recently had some work done on my car by the guys over at Budget Transmission Center and they did a pretty good job. The service overall was good and I am happy with how everything turned out. The only thing that kind of bugged me was that they originally told me they would respond to me the next day, but it ended up taking them a couple of days to get back to me. I mean it is understandable because I imagine they had other things to take care of, I just would have appreciated an update on the situation. Other than that though everything went really smooth though and the price was nice. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 4/13/2016

Budget Transmission Center didn't change my transmission, but I did take my car in because I thought that maybe it was the transmission what was giving me problems. So, I took the car in and upon assessing it they told me that all they had to do was change the coils. One of them was burnt so the car didn't have enough power to switch from one gear to the other. The company seemed to be fast and honest, They were professional and the price, you know, it was fair. It wasn't too much or too little, just fair and I don't have any complaints about that or about anything else. more

I can't recommend them 4/12/2016

I would like to preface this review by saying that the guys at Budget Transmission Center are nice, but I cannot recommend them to anyone, nor will I be going back after my unpleasant experience with them. They kept my truck for months and they told me that they were going to bring in a wire specialist to fix the problem, which is why it took them so long. During this time, my wife was very sick and I was on social security, so I really needed the truck. It cost them $3000 and they didn't fix the truck properly, so I had to bring it back two more times, which cost me an additional $600. $3600 for a poor experience left a very bad taste in my mouth. I also suspect that they transported transmissions in my truck while it was in their shop, because the back of my truck had a lot of oil stains in it. They cleaned it up, but I wasn't too happy about it. They also broke my gas cap and had to replace it. I had never been to their shop before, but they had a sign that said 'transmission mechanic wanted' and I should have taken that as a sign. It was a really unfortunate experience and I wish I had never taken my truck to Budget Transmission Center. more

They take far too long to do work 4/7/2016

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 to them twice last year and they had my car for a total of three and a half months, which is just too long for me to be without my car. When I got my car back the second time it started springing problems and flashing lights within a month or two and when I took it to another place, they showed me where these guys had been careless and missed doing certain steps. They just jump from job to job and they don't necessarily finish what they start which is what led to me having problems after they had my car. The guys that work here are great guys, but I simply cannot afford to keep going to them any more. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 4/4/2016

So far, Budget Transmission Center has been excellent. I have recommended them to friends already. First of all, they are affordable and every time that I have a question, they can answer with specifics about what they need, what's happening and what parts need to be changed and why in the vehicle. So far, I have never had a complain about anything that they have done. They also provide transportation while they are working on the car. If you need a ride back to your house or to come back to the shop, they take you there. This is the only mechanic that I have used that did that, usually they let you figure it out for yourself. So, that's a very nice touch. If I ever need to, I would definitely use them again. So far, I'm satisfied with the service and I don't have one single complain. more

The worst place to take your vehicle 3/8/2016

I had a terrible experience at Budget Transmission Center and the people who work here were extremely careless with my truck. I had my car in their shop for two days and during this time, they were going to tow it to another garage. My truck had no brakes which is why it was in their shop and when they went to move it from their tow truck, the truck rolled down and hit their garage door, completely damaging and scratching my truck. The worst part is that they weren't even going to tell me. When I came to their shop, the guy made a comment like, "I should charge YOU for my garage door," and was completely unprofessional and didn't offer to make things right or fix my truck. This was last summer and I'm still upset about what happened. It was just awful, do not take your car to Budget Transmission Center. more

Completely unsatisfied. 3/1/2016

Last year, in September we settled upon an internet ad for a transmission replacement. The ad stated we could get a new transmission for $1,300. I didn't even know it was going to Budget originally. The internet ad was in Middletown and I guess they have someone putting up ads and having them handle the work without knowing the pricing. When I went to go get the car they later told me it would cost double what they quoted. When I decided I didn't want to pay that and pick it up, It was completely disassembled. Before I can take it they had to assemble it but they would charge 6 or 700 dollars just to do that. So instead I had them do the work instead of assembling it and taking it elsewhere. I was totally displeased they had it for a month. it was night mare dealing with them We wound up paying $2,300 which is way over $1,300 we were expecting to pay. Totally not pleased with their service. Its a 3rd party that is booking these things and they just assume its OK to fix without knowing what price was quoted to the customer. We did get the car repaired that's why the 2 stars, but we were totally not pleased with it. Up until a year to bring it back if something happens to transmission. We contacted Sammy the owner of Budget and he said we were third customer at the time who was badly misquoted by and outside party they work with. more

Fair price and good work. 2/18/2016

Budget Transmission Center is right down the street from my real state office and I took my older car there because I started having issues with the transmission, it started slipping. So, they took a look at my 1989 vehicle, so it was a tricky one to repair, and I asked if they knew how to fix the transmission in such an old car and he said no problem, so I told them to go ahead. I thought that the pricing was fair, I know how to fix them and I have done transmission work before so I knew what it was going to be, the cost was certainly fair. more

Like gold 2/8/2016

I recommend to Budget Transmission Center to everyone. Their prices are great, their services are great and I don't feel like I'm getting robbed. A friend of mine recommended them to me, and I've been going to them for at least two years--and have also sent my brother there. They have worked on electrical problems, the alternator, battery, door locks and something with the ignition. Sometimes they deliver on time, but sometimes they find other problems or need to go deeper. I would rather they fix it than deliver it on time and then something breaks. They have saved me a lot of aggravation. One time they towed my car for free when I had an axle and a drivetrain problem. I could have driven it over there, but they said not to. They are always great, friendly and take care of me. They tell me it is fixed, and I know when I get it back that the problem is fixed. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/8/2016

I had a problem with my vehicle making a pounding noise when going into gear. I brought it to Budget Transmission and everyone was very nice. The Owner Sammy even was nice enough to give me a ride home, so the mechanics could diagnose my vehicle. I had a problem a few days after receiving the vehicle back where a O'ring was bad an I was getting a little leak of some type of fluid. I Called and they told me to bring my vehicle in as soon as I could. I had the vehicle there within hours. They checked it right away and made the repair. I was on my way in a matter of an hour. Thanks again guys more

Excellent service. Quick and professional. 1/27/2016

I had a very good experience with Budget Transmission Center. I went there to get help with my transmission and the service was excellent. I had no problems with them. I had my transmission installed and also they've been taking care of my transmission services ever since. Things like the oil and overall maintenance. They rebuilt it a couple year ago but I have continued suing them. The boss there running the shop, Sammy, he provides excellent service. They are quick and professional, recommend them all the way. more

They did a great job on my Dodge Durango truck. I needed many things done on it and they did an awesome job. The staff is very professional, friendly and respectable. I knew that my truck needed major work. I'm one woman that knows about cars and trucks. So gave them a list of what was wrong with my truck and they took care of it. IT was the right BUDGET for me. Thank You guy's. more
