I had some harder to find parts that no one else would look for and they took the time and found the pieces I needed. They were extremely friendly and helpful. I'd recommend them to anyone. Thanks

There's really a lot to be said here, but Google won't let me say it all so here's the short version. My van was there for 5 weeks, it probably should have been done in 3 and it would have hurt me much less as a result. The work was done well, and there were a lot of obstacles (more than there should have been). I would be willing to use these people again or recommend them to others, however due to supply and staffing issues I would recommend waiting a while for them to get caught up and parts to become available before bringing your vehicle in.

A lot of this is pandemic related so I don't really know how long you might want to wait, but if you really need the job done and you can't find any other way to get it done these people still delivered under very difficult circumstances (under pre-pandemic circumstances they said it probably would have only taken about 1 week). The only reason I rated it so low is because the two weeks longer that it took to find out there weren't any new transmissions to appease the insurance people could have been research done while waiting for other things (especially considering it is a common transmission and a place that specializes in transmission repair ought to be on top of stuff like that IMO). Considering I was told this kind of thing is happening to quite a few other vehicles they have right now I decided to write this review more as a reflection of the whole experience rather than just a reflection on the business (something I very rarely do). I hope that the next time I come in things will be running smoothly and I can give this place a much better review.

Another shop messed my diff up. Jeff quoted $2700 to rebuild. When they got it in Jeff was honest that it didn't need rebuilt. It just needed the correct lube. Paid under $200 and I'm super happy. Also had them do preventive maintenance on my trans and still picked it up on time the next day.

I received great service from Chance. My Silverado's transmission blew up and Chance replaced it with a rebuilt one. The new one drives like silk. The price was great and they gave an accurate time and price estimate. Very happy with them and I highly recommend them. They are honest folk. Service: Transmission

Transmission rebuilt, for 1959 Cadillac in feb 2021, car had a lot of other work done. Finally ready to drive august 2021, trans blew up after 100 miles, due to faulty rebuild. Wouldn't honor warranty of 12k miles or one year. Beware for anything old. Do not take here.

My vehicle was lat Chance for much longer than I thought it would have been. I did understand the circumstances with Covid and employee short staffed. Once my vehicle was looked at I got an honest diagnosis of the issue I was having and I received great service to get the issues resolved. Very good company and I'd recommend anyone to go to Chance with their transmission needs. Jay at the front desk is a great guy to work with.

I had my transmission replaced two years ago with Chance for over $4,000. My Tahoe is my soccer mom car and I drive around the state for sports and doesn't get pushed. I was a couple thousand miles over the warranty but they said they would look at it for me and would be $1,500 to $2,000 to repair. I was told transmissions don't last like they use to by Chance.

My truck that I over pull with has lasted 10 years on the last rebuild so I went back to T&T Sale for my Tahoe. The owner is awesome and got me fixed for $900. Not a fan of places that have repairs that can't last two years so I really am not impressed with Chance. Going to double down with their reply and want to clarify that the $4,200 replacement didn't even last 2 years on a soccer mom car. I don't do business with anyone that can't provide quality products.

These folks were awesome! They replaced the clutch in my 08 Tiburon. I was able to bring in my own parts and they charged me for labor only. And the labor rate was much better than other places. They were even able to move my appointment up to accommodate me moving out of state. Thanks, Chance! Thanks, Jay! Service: Transmission

They worked me into their schedule, checked things out, fixed the problems, and now the car is working like new. It cost a little money, but much cheaper than buying another car. Now this car is running and shifting like new! Thank you all, Jay, the counter lady and the service tech. Job well done!

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. I made an appointment 3 weeks in advance dropped my vehicle off with a very clear list of what I wanted done. I called after my vehicle had been there all day and it hadn't been touched. The excuse was they werent sure what they needed to do. I explained to them again what I wanted done. There were 4 things check on a vibration, determine where another noise was coming from as well as change my rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid.

I called 30 min before they closed everyday for a week and was told they were waiting on a lift. I've never seen a place start working on a vehicle complete 1 task, then go park the car in the parking lot and just let it sit. Why wasnt the vehicle worked on when the appointment was made and worked on until it was completed? This place never once called me they have zero communication and are extremely disorganized this place is suffering from poor management.

After my car sat there for 8 days and only 1 thing that was supposed to be done was completed I went and got my car. I'm still getting some vibration from what they did fix. I took it to another place and the work I asked to be done was done that same day and I picked it up the same day I dropped it off. I wont mention the place that actually got the work done because this isnt an advertisement for them this is a negative review for Chance Transmission.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague! Let's change the jingle from "Chance Transmissions your transmission experts" to "Chance Transmissions your transmission flunkies"! There wasnt a thing expert about the place!

Courteous, friendly, thorough, and professional. They not only rebuilt my transmission, but found another serious problem along the way and let me know about it, giving me the option to have them fix it while it was in the shop. Had they not found this problem or ignored it, it could have cost me another several hundred dollars to have fixed later. It's no wonder they've been in business so long, and have so many customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone having transmission problems.

Well, I'm one of the few that has had a bad experience. I bought a rebuilt transmission from here, and it lasted a year. Coincidentally, so does the warranty. Talking to Chance, they wanted to point blame at everything but the transmission. I took it for a second opinion, and my suspicions were correct, the transmission alone was at fault. It was poorly built and only lasted a year. Now, I will never return to Chance because instead of taking blame and trying to help a customer, they wanted to point a finger and in the process, pointed four others back at themselves. Now I'm stuck with a vehicle I can't afford to fix.

After drop off the entire experience was bad. Final price ended up being $800 more than originally quoted and my car didn't make it off the lot before things started making noise. When I called them about it the first response was to blame me for the issue! No apology just pointing the finger at me. When I got the car back to them at the end of the next day I was told it would be "first priority" the next morning.at the end of the next day I had to call for an update just to find out they hadn't looked at it yet.

Once they did look at it I was told they would have to rebuild the transmission again. On top of bad workmanship previously good parts were damaged during the first rebuild and again I was told they "couldn't have damaged that" despite the fact the transmission will not come out without removing the parts. End result was a one week job took three weeks and I had tow my car home and work on it to make it drive able after paying $2700 to have it "fixed". Long rant to say NEVER trust this company. The previous owners obviously didn't sell their dedication to customer service along with the Chance name.

I stopped in during my lunch break to talk to them about bringing in my Jeep. Jay told me to bring it in that day and even stayed late for me to be able to drop it off after work. They started working on it immediately the next day and had it completed in no time. Then when I got the bill I was even more impressed. Fast work at a great price. Kudos to chance transmissions and service manager Jay for giving great customer service and fast turnaround.

Voted worst out of 4 connecting states, these guys charged me for new parts that they didn't even install and charged me 1877.50 I got 2 other opinions before returning to talk to (Jeff) about the matter, he simply replied that the tranny left his shop with the new parts, i'm a real customer not a family member or friend writing a great review about this company. we as customers need to stand up and not let companies walk over us.

I work at an aircraft company here in town and I ask all my fellow employees to tell their family and friends to tell their family and friends to stay clear of this company, maybe we can get them to close the doors for good. have a blessed day

I was in a terrible fix. Being out of town and I use my car for work, Jay and staff did a great job of getting the part in quickly and even loaned me a shop car without me asking. Jay laid out my options and they were cheaper than a dealership quote I had gotten earlier. Even though I was out a lot of money, I was very pleased. I even had to bring the car back because of leaks and they handled it immediately on a Friday after hours.
