They talk to you which was awesome made you feel like a part of the team. Very polite and outgoing! I definitely recommend this workshop! Thank you again! They even dealt with my warranty people which was really awesome!

While I did not have my transmission fixed here due to out of pocket costs that wasn't affordable for me at the time, Jim and Sons did an outstanding job keeping me in the loop and were very informative and knew their stuff. Service: Transmission

This place does amazing work, i have had several shops tell me that my converter and my speed sensors on my car were bad. They wanted to charge me a ton of money! Jim and sons took my car in, took at look at it, and told me there was nothing wrong with the car, they cleared the codes on my dash and got me back on the road. They even clamped my heat shield back on so it didnt make noise! They not only saved me money and time on car repairs, but they assured me that my vehicle ran great like its supposed to.

If you need transmission work don't look any further. Their reviews say it all. Great communication, excellent service, fair pricing, and good turn around time. I'll be recommending them to all my friends and family and I'll be back if I ever need transmission work again.

I do not believe there is any mechanic shop that is as honest and fair as Jim and Sons. They are over the top friendly., they do treat you like family. I will be referring friends to these fine folks. I do not have a bad thing to say about them. Heidi and Wayne great job, thank you Service: Transmission

Cannot say enough how impressed I am with Jim & Sons. They came highly recommended by a coworker. There are a lot of hacks out there folks and these guys are the furthest thing from it. Very professional, courteous, and completely honest. I give a big shout out to Wayne and Heidi at the N. Canton store. Thanks for the great service on my new-used 08 Taco. I'll see you again soon for some PM on my 03 Corolla, which by the way just hit 500K miles and running like new.

Heidi and Wayne were tremendous in addressing a burned out clutch in our Jeep Wrangler - really came through as we managed the situation from Columbus. Appreciate their great support and expertise. Service: Transmission

I was having something weird going on when braking. They were recommended to me. They got me in in a couple of days, looked at it, serviced it, and got it back to me quickly. It was so nice taking it some place where they did not try to do more to it than was needed and were up front with me that everything looked good. Will definitely use in the future if needed!

Our 2014 Ford Transit Connect was having extremely rough shifts, and slipping gears with only 23k miles on it. Thanks to Wayne at Jim and Son's Transmission, it is running better than when we bought it. It was a small part that broke, but that small part ended up causing major issues. Wayne took his time showing us what the issue was, and the damage it caused.

We have full confidence that Wayne and the guys in the shop did their best to clean all the debris and keep us running smooth for years to come. Also, Heidi is super friendly and amazing as well! You will not regret staying local and trusting a family owned business when you take your vehicle to Jim& Sons!

I met Wayne and Heidi few years ago after working on my car I noticed how professional they are. Heidi takes care of the customers in extraordinarily way and Wayne takes care of the cars with great professionalism. I went to see Wayne the first time because the transmission of my BMW was not working good. He test drive my car and told me that a change of oil and filter will fix the problem. He was right my car was working perfectly after his work. From that day I only trust Wayne to work with my BMW'S. Price are very, very acceptable. Thank you my friends

This business and the management were very helpful and professional. I had a transmission rebuilt and the cost was very fair. I do certainly appreciate their knowledge and expertise. Thank you Wayne, and all that handled my car and performed the rebuild. I am so very grateful for all that was done.

Hands down the best experience I have had with any type of auto mechanic. I felt like they went above and beyond my expectations and treated me like family from the first phone call, to the checkout process. Will absolutely be recommending Jim & Sons and will be using them in the future! So happy with my experience! Services: Transmission, Exhaust

Wayne & Heidi are very professional & available! Brought our Subaru Outback in for slipping transmission. Other shops AND dealership recommended a new transmission. > $7,000! Wayne was able to diagnose the issue quickly (low fluid), and perform overdue service on the transmission for a very reasonable price. Car is running perfectly now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Very highly recommended.

Wayne and Heidi were awesome! Took my Outback in for a glitchy jump and they were honest about not being able to fix it. (275k miles on the transmission) Did some routine maintenance in the hopes of a small improvement. Good value, GREAT people! Would happily refer anyone to their place! Service: Transmission

Awesome service, and super fast turn around on the repair. They had me out, back to work in no time. They even shopped around for the parts at a cheaper price. Kept me updated during the whole time. And now my 10 year old truck drives as good as it did day one. I would recommend them to anyone for their transmission repairs/services.

Where do I began? From the moment Beverly answered the phone I knew this place was special. She worked to get me in right away because my schedule was crazy and was even willing to arrange to get me a ride. Then before the first impression had a chance to wear off Max steps in and goes out of his way to thoroughly diagnose my transmission and was able to pinpoint the problem without having to do a rebuild. Saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. Thank you to everyone at Jim's, you've got a customer for life!

Would you like to know what’s wrong with Jim and Sons? …Absolutely nothing! For the past two weeks I’ve had a horrible squealing noise coming from underneath my truck. A friend looked at it, told me it was the u-joints and offered to fix it for me. While I did appreciate his generosity, the squealing continued after his attempt. I then took my truck to a large chain auto service center to get their opinion and an estimate.

Their diagnosis was also the u-joints and their estimate was through the roof. I asked another friend if he knew of an honest affordable place that I could take my vehicle. Before I could finish asking he blurted out “Jim and Sons”. I set up an appointment to have my truck looked at the next day. Beverly and Max were two people that I dealt with at Jim and Sons.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a more pleasant experience dealing with anyone not only in an Auto shop but also in any service industry as I had with those two. My truck was dropped off the following day. Beverly was nice enough to drive me back to work within minutes. A few hours later Max called to let me know that my truck was ready. Not only did they save me well over $200.00, they also fixed the u-joint that my friend installed incorrectly. I would recommend Jim and Sons in a heartbeat to anyone. Do yourself a favor and go see them. You will not regret it.
Roy Baker
Honest & professional. I took my vehicle in to have the transmission checked. It was not the transmission at all. It just needed axle repair. They could have said I needed a new transmission. But they did not. And the final bill was less than my oral quote. If you have a transmission or drive train issue, I highly recommend this shop. Totally worth the drive... even if a little out of your way.
Nancy F.
Excellent experience! I had my car towed to Jim and Son's right before Thanksgiving. They drove it, did a diagnostic test, and broke the news to me with an detailed explanation and quote. All my questions were answered throughly. The car wasn't worth fixing due to the fact that it was 25 years old. They didn't charge me a thing! They were even ok with me leaving the car in their lot a few extra days due to the holiday weekend and me struggling to arrange for a tow to the scrap yard. I felt that my junker and I were treated with the same respect as if I owned a Bentley!
Howard Keith
Jim and Sons does great work. I have had several vehicles serviced Canton and Cuyahoga Falls, at both their locations and they did a great job on both. I highly recommend them if you need any type of transmission work done.
Kyle Barry
These guys are very professional. I live in Pittsburgh so they are 2 hrs from me but I still get my transmission worked on there when I am in town for work. It's one of those places you can take your car and know that you are taken care of, that everything will be figured out and done right so you can leave not having to worry about it anymore. Highly recommended!
Dave
Very, very excellent customer service.... and great transmission work too !!! Any company that takes the time to "hand write" a "thank you for your business card"... is just top notch. The work to 2008 Ford truck was quick and at a fair price. I am now a loyal Jim and Sons customer... (PS - if your hungry, they can give you directions to a small local restaurant, within walking distance, best breakfast in years)
Christina Paul
These guys are awesome. They really care about you and not just taking your money. They stored my car, free of charge for 2 months while I tried to figure out what to do with it and then they helped me load it onto a flatbed to move it away, happily, even though they weren't going to get to do any work on it after all that time. Every time I called, the women who answered the phone was polite and kind. Top notch people to do business with.
Michael Bauder
Jim & Sons Transmission is the very best, call them first before anyone else. The entire staff is so great, from Beverly who will set you up with your appointment to Tiffany who will always keep you updated on the progress of the repair. I want to thank the skillful techs who got my 09 Fusion with 230k miles back on the road. I love my car and to be driving it once again feels awesome. Runs like new.

I highly recommend Jim and Sons to anyone who doesn't want to say goodbye to their car because it has too many miles and because someone told you it would be way too expensive to replace the transmission. Go to Jim and Sons, and get it repaired, you won't be disappointed. Trust me and Trust them. Great People!!! Thanks to all
Jennifer Derthick
The customer service is wonderful and they tell you exactly what they did with your vehicle. Very honest.
Dave Obney
Took my 2012 Honda Odyssey in because at 90,000 miles it was surging and making noise and not shifting right in lower speeds. They checked the Honda service bulletin and on that recommendation, they updated the software and did a flush/refill of the transmission. It's running perfectly now. That repair was quite reasonably priced. There is a reason if you ask people around here about transmission issues, they'll recommend Jim and Sons. Great service!
Brian Limbert
Had some issues with the front end of my 4x4 truck. The entire staff there is incredibly helpful and courteous, EXCELLENT customer service! They took the time to do the job right, and taught me a few things about the mechanics of it all. Thanks!
