A local owned and operated family business, Reston Transmission was established in 1991 then moved its base of operations to Herndon in 2000 to become Herndon Reston Transmission. Since August of 1991 we have been rebuilding, repairing, and replacing transmissions. We have the expertise in powertrain that the other guys don't!
When brake components are replaced the brake lines will need to be purged / bled of air. Brake fluid absorbs moisture causing rust and corrosion. It makes sense to flush the brakes at this time. This presents a good opportunity to rotate the tires since they will be removed at this time. Rotating tires helps them wear evenly and last longer.
Transmission fluid change. Here, you'll typically remove the old fluid by releasing a drain plug at the bottom of the transmission or by removing the transmission pan, which enables the fluid to drain into a container. Although this method does remove some fluid, there is still a significant amount left behind, usually in the torque converter.
All those lights, symbols and warnings you see flash across your instrument panel mean something is wrong. Your vehicle is talking to you, Your vehicles computer system is telling you that something needs attention! Ignoring these warning signs wont make them go away. When you bring your vehicle in for service one of first things we will ask is, Have there been any check engine or other lights coming on?

I recently moved to the area and had no idea where to get my car repaired. My newly replaced transmission (less than 7 months old) had went out again and I was frustrated with the same car problems. I was told about Herndon Reston Transmission and they were AMAZING! Mr. Randy and his team worked miracles on my 2008 vehicle and it has ran beautifully for the first time in a very long time.
When there was a leak they were so quick to fix it and were beyond helpful! I'm so thankful for their service and kindness! Definitely recommend any car repairs to be done here!

Randy and his son Jake were incredibly helpful during what turned out to be a complete transmission replacement for my Audi. They worked with the warranty company, sitting through countless phone calls on hold, to ensure that the coverage was honored and my car fixed with the best OEM parts. I highly recommend Herndon Reston Transmission if you have any issues with your car!

Found this location via google maps and decided to go based on the positive reviews. After going to two transmission shops, including the Ford dealership, they could not or misdiagnosed the issue with the sounds coming from my transmission in my truck. I explained the issue and Randy stated in straight forward fashion that the issue may be something else but gave me a quote (reasonable) for what i thought the issue was.
After diagnosing and informing me of the issue, the truck was repaired. What I thought was an expense that was gong to be close to $2000, Randy fixed the issue at a cost of a little over $200. He advised me to bring the truck back if there was an issue. I may have found a new mechanic for our other car. Nelson P.

I own a 2004 2500 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty truck with over 200k in miles, that has been experiencing rear in differential grinding of the gears for some time. I have had the differential fluid changed several times but to no avail the grinding noise persisted. I thought it was the transfer case so I changed that out with a new rebuilt at a total cost of 2K. when all done.
I changed out transmission fluid and filter yearly but still grinding. I finally concluded that I needed a rear differential rebuild, which would have costed me upwards $2500.00. I called, Randy answered and advised to bring in so that he could properly assess. By his expertise it wasn't in need of a rebuild, but instead some additive that costs me $192.00.
Everything that I read positive was my experience and more with Herndon Reston Transmission shop. They saved me big time $, and for that I will always take my truck there for service. I suggest you do as well. You can trust them to be honest and friendly. (AND NO this is not someone that works at the shop or apart of the company). I am a true and actual customer.

Prices are reasonable for NOVA and they are very honest mechanics which is something hard to find. I took my car to the big dealership and they said my issue could not be fixed! I was prepared to trade it in and took it here for a second opinion. They had it fixed before the next day and back on the road. Communication was great with prompt quotes via email for approval. They also provide a free basic check, something the big dealers want $120 for. I found my new local shop.

I am beyond pleased and happy with the excellent service I was provided. I brought in my Toyota Camry 2000 after it failing safety. Not only did they help me find the best prices for parts but did an amazing job at getting my car ready to pass and be safe on the roads. I can honestly say this will always be my first pick over any other shop!

This shop was recommended to me by my co-worker so I gave them a call to get an estimate to replace my back breaks and rotors. Not only did Randy give me a fantastic price, but he was nice enough to give me a lift back to my office (keep in mind I work less than a mile away) and had my car done within a couple of hours. Randy was so nice and very knowledgeable. Herndon Reston Transmission has got my business!
