Capital Transmission Service

Make the time to read the reviews. You will thank us for saving you time and money. Mike will lie to you and not lose any sleep about taking what you already don't have. what he is doing to the consumers should be allowed and is. Why because the california laws need to change. The amount of money they charge and were forced to trust. My situation i didnt read the reviews i saw they had over 4 stars. That wont happen ever again. People judge people based on what they drive or where they live. It's unfortunate that people can't think outside the box. To assume that someone like me wouldnt know people that i could call for help. I try not to bother them with little things like water instead of wiper fluid. But when things happen that are out of my control and im being forced into accepting because I brought my car to them..mike cost me 3 additional weeks of a car rental. He notified me a week after the transmission was delivered that my car hasnt been touched because his mechanic was out due to being exposed to corona virus. He knew my situation. His guy was back for a week before my car was touched. To finding put that the boss was broken. So 3 weeks he has my transmission not once inspecting it prior. He cost me additional 2.5 weeks for my rental. My car is still not fixed. My transmission has to be pulled again. Prior to starting the work i requested that my parts that were being exchanged out be kept. Per mike the owner word for word:( Looks like the old clutch/flywheel parts got tossed? Those were installed in the Kia close to 3 months ago.) I expected at least an apology. My car was there for 3 months because he kept dropping the ball and giving me excuse after excuse. Yes i had to find a unicorn. That took under 2 weeks. It had to be shipped from the east cost. Outside of that, i got excuses. I know why i got pushed aside and treated like this. Other peoples money and retaliation for calling him out. He knew i couldn't just come take my car back. He knew i couldn't afford that. Its unfortunate that today there are people like this that take advantage of people. Learn from my experience and take your car to transmission warehouse.

They did the work on time and at the estimated price which was less that half of what the dealer would have charged. The honda dealer said the repair charge was more that the blue book value of the car, had I listened to them I would have junked the vehicle, now it runs perfectly again.

They did a great job, even verified it, and saved me from spending that outrageous amount i was quoted at the other place. The clutch is doing great!

Needed a transmission rebuilt in an Isuzu Rodeo and shopped around for someone knowledgeable about this particular transmission and getting the repair done at a fair price. Mike at Capitol answered all my questions and is quite knowledgeable. The transmission work was completed on the date promised and more importantly the transmission is performing very well; no leaks, shifts well, no problems. The ultimate test for the transmission work done will be longer term but can't answer that question right now. Price was more competitive than others.

It's working fine. The price was reasonable. They said they will take a look at it. They came on the estimate and the transmission is still working. It wasn't particularly cheap but it wasn't particularly expensive either. We got it done in just a few days.

We weren't sure what was wrong with the car, a 1989 Cadillac. It was making a noise when you drove it especially on the hwy. It was only making the noise when the car was moving so my husband knew it was somewhere in the drive train. I was starting a new job in a couple of weeks and we needed for the car to be reliable. Capital was very highly rated, so we decided to give them a shot. Mike was very friendly and explained every thing that transpired with the car on the phone and in person. Turnaround was a little over 24 hours. We will not hesitate to take our vehicles to them in the future. Their courtesy, professionalism and speed of repairs were all excellent.

They were friendly, easy to talk to, explain things really well, and knowledgeable.

My only complaint is that they didn't have the tool to reset the computer for the new transmission, I just thought that since they are a transmission shop they would have that but not a big deal.

No problem, little high on price. Prompt and fast service. Would recommend

It went very well. My father was a mechanic so I know how hard it is to find a reputable mechanic. Mike was very professional and knowledgable. I brought the car in for an estimate. I had already gotten two other estimates. Mike drove the vehicle and quicly diagnosed the issues. I knew what some of the problems were as my father was a mechanic and I usually do my own servicing. The major issue was the Torque Converter. The secondary issues were the transmissions age and mileage (163K). It appears the torque converter was failing and as such could be contaminating the main transmission since both are hydrailically connected. As the torque converter fails and develops metal shavings it will transition into transmission causing additional issues. Anyway, to make a long story short the transmission was rebuilt (Torque converter, clutch pack, bad 2nd gear roller brg and bad 2nd gear, 2/3 speed modulator, etc...) I just drove the car home and it shifted smoothly and discretly. It shifted better than when I bought it when it had 67K miles. The replacement parts used were of better quality than OEM and the new programing was done. Mike showed me the old damaged parts. Lastly I got a 36k/5yr warrantee. The only other manufacturer to provide a 36k warrantee is ATK Rebuilders. I chose Capitol Transmission (Mike) based on Angie's list and I was not dissapointed. Also, the shop is still in business during these hard economic times; a + (reputable). I must bring car back in 2 weeks for a ck and every yr thereafter to maintain warrantee in force. All other shops only provided 1yr/12k miles and no checks after installed. I was pleasantly surprised with Mike's knowledge, his history with Honda Transmissions, the price, level of service, and his relaxed but professional attitude. An added benefit is that Mike is actually a very friendly and pleasant person. I recommend Capitol Transmission for transmission work.

Mike was very pleasant and professional. He gave me an estimate of between $2,750 and $2,800 before I asked him to check all the fluids since it had been sitting for over 4 years. They even sprayed all the black widows! Sorry guys! Mike shopped around to get the best price for the part that were needed, to keep the cost within my budget. The cost was right on! I picked up the car, took it to the smog station and it passed!

They were very good. It was great. It was very well-priced and everything was on schedule. It was something that was going to cost a lot. My experience with them was excellent. They were definitely just straight forward and gave the best value. I didn't feel like they were trying to gouge me because I got quotes that were double.

I had the best experience with Mike and his staff. He explained in detail what needed to be done and kept everything under budget even when something else came up! You always wonder if someone is pulling you leg and taking you for a ride and we felt he was straight forward and sincere. Thank you Mike!

good expierence overall-got my vehicle back on time-walked out the door with a 36000 mile 3 year warrenty on the transmission. To keep the warrenty valid ill be taking the truck back in week to allow them a quck(10 minute) inspection of their work to make sure everything is operating correctly. after that ill need to have them look at the transmission once a year for the life of the warrenty. So far Ive been very pleased with their work. my suv is running like new. I went from thinking i would have to get a new vehicle to feeling like i can squeeze a handful of years out of my

I recently had a problem with my BMW's ZF automatic transmission and ndash; it slipped when put in reverse. I am a mechanical engineer and, after having a few unpleasant experiences with and ldquo;professionaland rdquo; mechanics, I generally do all of my own car repairs. However, I knew I would be in over my head on this one, so I did a lot of research on the internet and made several phone calls. I soon found that my problem was very common for vehicles with ZF transmissions and was most likely caused by a broken reverse clutch drum. The west coast's only authorized ZF repair and remanufacturing facility recommended (based on the age and mileage of my car) that I have the transmission repaired for approx $2100. Unfortunately, the ZF facility is located about 500 miles away in San Diego. I found that could get my transmission replaced by several local shops with a rebuilt unit for $3500 - $6000. However, I couldn't find anyone who was willing to repair it. In fact, one shop told me and ldquo;There is nobody in the Sacramento area who can fix your transmission and ndash; you'll have to have it replaced.and rdquo; I was about to give up and pay for a rebuild when I called Mike at Capital Transmissions. When I described the car's problem, Mike said and ndash; and ldquo;Sounds like a broken reverse clutch drum, I've fixed a few of those.and rdquo; Right then, I knew I had found the right shop. Mike quoted me a price of about $1800 unless he found additional problems when he had the transmission apart. Within 2 hours after dropping off my car, Mike called to say he had pulled the pan and verified that the drum was indeed broken and he had ordered the new parts. Two working days later, Mike called to say the car was ready and my total bill was $1819. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased! This has been by far the best major automotive repair I've ever had and it has restored my faith and ndash; I strongly recommend Capital Transmissions. They are fast, honest, reliable, and reasonable.

Excellent.
