When most people think of transmission repair, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For most drivers in Arlington, TX, the first thing that comes to mind with transmission repair, correctly or not, is the expense. Yes, depending on the make and model of your car and the extent of the damage, transmission repairs can be on the expensive side.
There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the transmission is the most complex and intricate part of your car. Weighing in at over 800 individual parts, the transmission is chiefly tasked with shifting gears as you gain and lose speed while you drive. Manual or automatic, keeping your transmission in excellent health is one of the best ways to keep your car running for years and miles to come. So when it is time for transmission service in Arlington, TX, get your car - and it's transmission - into the bays at North Texas Transmission.
At North Texas Transmission in Arlington, TX, transmissions may be the name of our game, but we work with the systems that complement the transmission as well, such as the drivetrain. But what is your car's drivetrain exactly? It is the group of components tasked with delivering power from your car's engine to the wheels themselves, thus propelling the car forward. As you can imagine, when your drivetrain (or transmission for that matter) is in trouble, you and your vehicle aren't going to be going very far.

I can't express how grateful I am for the staff at North Texas Transmission. Another shop gave me a rebuild quote, with a *maybe* TCM replacement. NTX Transmission gave me a second opinion, and said that before doing anything else, I need a TCM, because it's failed completely. They couldn't get one, and so they told me I could come install my own and they'd recheck it for me. Got the TCM installed right there in the parking lot, and it ran like a charm. $700 part and my time, instead of $4-5k of rebuild/replace work. If anyone ever asks me where to go for Transmission work, this is where I'm sending them.

Great work and great people. If you have a 2016+ model GM truck and are being told you need a new transmission. Do yourself a favor and bring it here and you won't be disappointed.

Usually, a trip to the transmission shop is about as much fun as a root canal! Dustin and Sheila made the process seamless and enjoyable. Our car was originally sent to a shop for a sunroof repair. While there, a leak in our PTU was noted and I was told that a transmission expert needed to assess it. North Texas Trans was HIGHLY recommended by the mechanic. NTT agreed to pick up my vehicle from the first shop and contacted me once the situation was assessed and the warranty company was on board.

I had my car back in 2 days and it works perfect. Dustin called and kept me updated during the process. If you need transmission work, I recommend these folks. I will definitely be back should I need trans work in the future.

Richard and the family and crew are what all automotive repair shops should be. Fair, and honest, and more importantly they have integrity. I recommend them 100%.

I took my 03 Navigator to North Texas Transmission for electrical problems. The problem was fixed in one day when other shops couldn't figure it out for months. The total price was very reasonable. Instead of throwing your money away for shops to guess the problems i recommend you go here to have your problems corrected. It will save you lots of money. Great and friendly costumers service as well

Ill put 5 stars because Dustin seems great and knowledgeable. But I did have an issue. I called to inquire about installing a used transmission I had purchased myself, and the woman who answered the phone stated that they don't install customer owned gear, and then said" Bye" immediately after, and hung up on me. I get it. I run my own business the same way (no customer supplied gear), but Id rather be educated on the best way to go than be shut down like that. I wouldn't hesitate to give Dustin my business in the future once I do more research on what might be the best option for my car.

Totally awesome! Completely honest and forthcoming with service on my transmission. I was actually referred to a mechanic who can repair other issues with my truck. I highly recommend this business!

Critical: Professionalism I can not believe they are charging double for a remanufactured transmission vs buying a new one from Nissan itself! 12/18/2020 3:39pm was called by this company after writing this review. The man was using a tone that is highly unprofessional and invasive.

I dropped my 20 year old Nissan Xterra for a transmission check. Dustin gave it a thorough check without charging me anything. He didn't pressure me to get the transmission rebuilt, instead he gave me a practical advice on saving the money towards the purchase of an older but newer vehicle, and diverted me from spending on unnecessary services recommended by another auto shop. Thank you for your selfless generosity, kindness and charity toward others, and honesty. Wishing you more success in your business.

Seriously, the most painless repair shop that I have ever had to deal with. Very much a pleasure working with Dustin and his team. They were very efficient with taking care of my Altima's transmission replacement. 3 day turn around was fantastic.

When my FJ cruiser developed a substantial rear diff leak I was lucky to find North Texas Transmission. (Well luck and a lot of research helped.) Dustin was able to work me into their schedule on short notice for a diagnostic evaluation. They were able to keep me driving until the necessary repair parts came in and then had my repair done in one day for the exact amount originally quoted. Dustin took the time to explain everything they were seeing and provided options on what repairs to perform. I could not be happier with my experience with North Texas Transmission.

My 2006 Avalanche has 160,000 miles, the transmission went out. Being skeptical of most transmission repair shops. I went to North Texas Transmission. They provided me with confidence in their evaluation, provided me with a couple repair solutions. One key factor was that their shop is organized and clean. Picked up my truck and it drives great. Very pleased with the entire experience there. Highly recommend them.

I’ve brought two different cars to North Texas Transmission. Customer service goes above and beyond! They are honest and efficient. I can’t praise this company enough!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of me!!

Our Trans decided to tank just before 100k miles on 2013 town and country. I had a sweet brother-in-law price saving over $1k an hour outside of town. But ultimately going through our options and warranty and quality of work we decided to go with Dustin at NTX transmission. He was very thorough and genuine in selling me on his quality of work. Though he claims to not be a "salesman".

His genuine concern and honesty is what all sales should revolve around. Fresh off a long road trip through Colorado mountains, can report the vehicle had never driven/shifted so smooth. Feel I will be bringing my jeep in soon enough as well. #drivenlikeitsstolen

This was the best experience I've ever had with an auto maintenance shop. They saved me over $2,500 in unnecessary repairs to my transmission by doing a thorough and honest evaluation of my truck. Dustin was both friendly and professional, and I will be a customer for life!

These people are the nicest most helpful people we have ever met! We were driving from Chicago and hit some accident debree at night on the drive.transmission light came on and front bumper dis attached.when we arrived to Texas We called and went in with our 3 boys from driving all night, they got us right in took a look at it on the lift, did a scan. Turned our it was just a sensor and they reattached the front bumper.

They didn't charge us 1$!( which would never happen on Chicago!) for any of the things they did. They were just glad it wasn't anything serious. Anyway this is a great family shop and everyone from secretary to owner treat u like family! I 100% reccomend and would trust these amazing people to work on my car or anyone else I know!
