Kenny's Transmission

I had these guys put a transmission in a Mountaineer in April 2012, within a month the interplanetary went out, that had nothing to do with Kenny's, the mfg part was bad, it happens no matter where you go. Kenny's brought me in, fixed it in a day, drove us wherever we needed to go. Almost 2 years later, running like new, actually better. I would never let anyone touch the transmission on any car that I own, ""I trust them"". There is more to this story, but its all about them going above what was expected and it would take time to communicate. I would \r rate them a 10+. Transmission shops are often over priced and shysters, not this shop. There pricing was reasonable, actually lower, so when they quoted me, I asked the owner how can you do it at that price, he responded, I'll make money, I just don't need to over charge you for what you need, you would and could pay more, but that doesn't make it right. The price they quoted and delivered on was far below Edwards and another another coast to coast . \r Gary B more

Took the family Chevy in for transmission issues per a different shop on the southside. Getting a second opinion before spending that much money like the other shop quoted us for. Kenny’s people made the diagnosis. It was not the transmission it was the catalytic converter..did not charge for their expertise and referred us on to get it properly fixed. Thanks to the honesty of Mr. Dearing’s people, we got the problem fixed at about 10% of the proposed bill from the other shop. more

The transmission on our Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was completely rebuilt here for 1600 dollars. We dropped off the Jeep on a Thursday for them to inspect and provide a free estimate. They didn’t get to it until Monday. I was told there was significant shavings collecting in the pan and that a planetary gear was nearly worn away and that the only best solution was the rebuild the transmission. Since my Jeep only has 64,000 miles we decided to have the work done. They were finished on the date promised, 4 days later, for the quoted amount. It’s been a couple weeks and no problems. more

I had Kenny’s Transmission replace my automatic transmission and cable on my Chevrolet full seized van. The van was taken to another company first. They quoted 200% of all other quotes. When we decided to take the van to Kenny’s transmission, other company refused to reassemble the transmission. Kenny’s kindly towed the van and retrieved the parts. Bill at Kenny’s was very familiar with this model GM transmission and gave us a written quote that was easy to understand. Kenny’s was very friendly and helped keep us informed of their progress. The final cost was $1300 and was right on compared to the original quote. I got more than my money’s worth considering everything. This was the first time I’ve used this company and will be back for their friendly, knowledgeable service. The repair time was slightly longer than expected, but no surprises came up during the course of the work. Keep up the good work, and take your vehicle here with confidence. more

The automatic transmission on my 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport went out. I called Kenny’s Transmission and they towed it to their shop and rebuilt the transmission.\r \r I was taking my 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport to the corner gas station and when I was leaving the station to go back home – nothing – the engine just revved and would not go into gear. The station was nice enough to let me push it to a spot on the side of the building until it could be towed the next day. The next morning I called Kenny’s Transmission and explained what happened the night before.\r \r They said they would tow my car and let me know. I called back the next day and they verified that the transmission had gone out. They stated that was pretty good for this vehicle in that the average is between 80,000 and 100,000 miles and my vehicle had 110,000 miles. My Jeep was towed on Monday and on Tuesday they said they would have it ready for me on Friday. I called back on Friday evening and asked the status of the Jeep and they said they were waiting on one last part to install and they would test drive it and call me back. they close at 6:00 pm on Friday and are not open on Saturday so I was not sure if I would get the car back for the weekend. They called back two more times after 6:00 pm and the first time they said they just got the part and were installing it and they called back and said they were test driving it and that I could come and pick it up. I went and picked it up after 8:00 pm and they were waiting there for me. they said they were doing everything they could to get the car back to me without holding it over the weekend. \r \r I appreciated that extra effort because everyone is ready to go home early on a Friday but they stayed and finished the job just so I would not be without a vehicle any longer than I had to be. I would and will recommend them to anyone any kind of transmission issue. They are honest, dependable and give you a fair price.\r more

Kenny’s Transmission diagnosed the problem with my car and gave me a price quote for the repairs. I was impressed with everything there. We loved the way they included us about the status of my car. They were very accommodating to us and were very responsive and professional. more

They had to totally rebuild my transmission. They towed the van in, did a complete diagnostic, explained the problem to me, gave me an estimate, and performed the work. They ran into additional electrical problems, but didn’t finish the job until they could guarantee that the new transmission wouldn’t have problems with the electrical like the original one did (it blew at only 66K miles). I was very pleased. They sent a tow truck out to pick up the vehicle. I did have to call to see where they were on the job several times, but I tend to be impatient. They explained the details to me well. Overall cost: $1549.30. more

Kenny’s Transmission had to rebuild my transmission in my Chevy pickup. They took it for a test drive and said I was correct in what the problem was. They said if I left it that day it would be ready on Tuesday, 3 days later. Got a call on Monday afternoon saying I could pick it up that afternoon. A day sooner than promised. I spoke with the owner when I picked it up and I enjoyed listening to a man that was more like the way things were in days long lost by most all businesses today. When I spoke with the mechanic the first day he also showed me he was a person of integrity. The employees I spoke with were much the same as management. Was very pleasant to see. All in all, it was $1500 to rebuild it and I got it back one day sooner. Thanks. more

My 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 135,000 miles on it was having transmission problems. Called Kenny’s Transmission and described the problem to them on the phone. They asked a lot of questions and said to bring it in for a look. They told me on the phone that if it had to be rebuilt it would take around $1500. That is less than half of what the dealer would charge. It took a couple of days to hear from them that it did need a rebuild. They said it would be about 5 days to get completed. I was in no rush due to having another car available at the time. I think they took 6 days to complete. Final price as right what they said it would be. Runs as good as new now. The people I dealt with were very nice, professional, and treated me with respect. more

Kenny’s Transmission rebuilt my transmission on a 1996 GMC Jimmy truck after diagnosing wear and metal inside that had contributed to my symptoms (transmission had gone into safe mode and only used gears 2 and 3). \r I took my truck in at noon, and by the next morning I had a diagnosis. Since it was still on the lift when they called me, and I expressed it was my online vehicle, they committed to a 2 day turn-around.\r It was ready on time. As others have reported here, they are great on quality of work, honesty, and price. Use them for their repair skills and honesty. I will always choose them over the national chains.\r more

The owner at Kenny’s Transmission was very nice to deal with. We took our 1999 Mercury there and they thoroughly check out the transmission before any work is done. He gave us his recommendations, told us the price and the work was done by the end of the day. The transmission is fixed and the car is running great. It was a good experience and I would recommend them highly. more

Took my car in over the weekend and promised it would be done ASAP. It was done fast, and they did a great job at a good price. more

I thought my truck's transmission wasn't shifting right. When I went to another shop they wanted $49 to run a bunch of tests and not even drive it. I came to Kenny's and they test drove it, checked the fluids, the computer, and then told me there was nothing wrong. It just shifted different than I was used to with my other vehicle. When I thought it was time to pay they told me I owed them nothing since they didn't do any work on it. If I ever actually need work on my transmission I will definitely be coming back here to get it done. more

I was having problems with the exhaust system on my Nissan and needed the cheapest and best work done as soon as possible. I received a few quotes but Kenny's still managed to trump the competition. I paid about half the price and received stellar workmanship! Thank you guys for doing such a great job and for not draining my bank account in order to do so...referrals will definitely be coming your way! more

There was a failure with something installed in my vehicle after a few months of having it installed, it was no longer in warranty but Kenny's fixed it free of charge. more

Kenny's Transmission kept all of their promises and were extremely honest with me when the transmission went out on my work truck. I needed the vehicle back as soon as possible they fit me in at the earliest convenience and delivered when they said they would. more

They were just about a grand cheaper than any other places I went for a quote, I never used them before and the second I walked in I felt welcome. They fixed EVERYTHING that was wrong with my car, even the things I somewhat ignored, my car feels like new and when I went in for a follow up they remembered me right off the bat. They stand by their work and are top rate in their customer service skills. I won't ever be going any where else. It was not how my car felt that truly mattered but how they respected me as a human being that took the cake. more

I'm so happy that my car is back to normal, they completely rebuilt my transmissions from scratch and now my car has never run better! more
