Alamo Transmissions

Well, I was there today. Very nice men. Good service too. Was done before it was due. Transmission and oil, gaskets, filter for both and fluids. With tax it was $239. I think that was a great price. And my van runs strong now. Yes, I recommend them. Will use their service again for family vehicles.

Jesse James used a gun. This company uses a wrench to rob you. I took my truck in to have the clutch replaced. I was charged $1400. I was finally told the truck was ready to be picked up. As I was driving home the truck sounded like a motorcycle. I took it back and the owner acted like he was doing me a favor by fixing the exhaust leak that was left by his workers. When I got home the truck wouldn’t start. The owner came over and replaced 6 spark plugs and charged me another $216 dollars. The truck still didn’t start and the owner wanted to replace the fuel pump (probably to milk me for another $500 dollars). I had a real mechanic look at the truck and he found a vacuum leak that was probably caused when the clutch was replaced. I strongly recommend that you don’t use this shade tree mechanic unless you want to get ripped off.

Jesus told me when I took it in he would drive it and test it out on a Thursday. Friday he said he is going to replace the transmission fluid and filter by Monday and it would be a little over $200 By then he would know if it was the problem. Monday came and I didn't hear nothing. Tuesday, Jesus called and said he was going to order a part a sensor for the transmission because he thinks it would probably but not guarante me that this would fix the problem but would try it and it would total cost of $460. If we needed to rebuild the Transmission it would cost me $2200 he stated. Well if maybe this would fix my car I said let's do the sensor the filter and of course new fluid. Wednesday he said he was waiting for the sensor to come in. Thursday late afternoon Jesus called me and said I've replaced the filter the sensor and the fluid but it didn't fix. He was apologetic I told him that we would pick the car up in the morning to please have the old filter and sensor available. Friday morning 1 week later from when i drop the car off. I called Jesus and asked him how much was the total amount so I could have cash ready to pay him. He said he was giving me a break and I would pay the original price of the fluid and filter change of $239. I showed up at 12 noon like we discussed and Jesus wasn't available. We waited till 12:30 Jesus told us he didn't replace the sensor and that it was to expensive. So asked i asked for the filter he said he didn't replace that either. He knew that the transmission was blown. So I asked why he was charging me $239 if he didn't do nothing to the car stating he faulty wire and put the transmission on his computers. So he charged me for things we didn't discuss and replaced with out my permission. He didn't replace anything he said he would do. I believe he was for me to say rebuild the transmission. My car sat there for 1 week getting the run around everytime I called. Don't go here. He seems very nice but he just wanted my money!

I took a transfer case to this shop, the only issue with it was it leaked out of various locations (51 year old transfer case). Basically it needed seals and gaskets. I got the transfer case back, bolted it in, and it still leaks it the same places. Essentially I paid $1000 for someone to paint my transfer case. NEVER AGAIN!!

If you want work done right, this is the place to bring your vehicle. Work was not rushed, Jesus took the time to properly diagnose, provided with a quote and was able to preform miracles during the pandemic.
