Didn't get the chance to do any business with Circle D because happily it turned out not to be a transmission issue after all. But, I spoke with a couple staff over the phone about lining up a rebuilt tranny and pricing estimates before I new it wasn't needed. They were friendly and responsive and were able to line up exactly what I thought was needed and provided a clear price estimate. If I ever do need transmission work it'll be taken here for sure.

Slightly lengthy, please read all. If you've landed on this review, you probably have a 6L80. I've known my Trans was roasted from a time on a Dyno. I spent a lot of time researching where to go. Landed on Circle-D - it was quite a little trip to get the car down there and dropped off. The staff are friendly and Glenn will set you straight on what needs to happen. In my case, I had a later model 6L80, and he told me it will likely need a handful of updated GM parts but won't know until he gets in there.
The trans cooler I had on the car, I'm not so sure Glenn didn't laugh at it. It wasn't to his parameters of how he wants that trans to operate. I went with a Stage 3 \ 6L80 build. I don't have a bunch of time driving the car yet, from the short trip I took before Leaving the shop it's completely different. The paddles shift fast, no flare between shifts. Thanks, Circle-D.

I have used Circle D on several occasions, each time I have received quality service and professional work completed on my vehicles. Ask for Glenn, and you can't go wrong!

Great place to have a transmission serviced. I've been a clients for several years now. Knowledgeable staff. Glenn at the front desk is most helpful! Not a cheap place for a quick repair, but you know it's repaired correctly! They stand behind all of their work performed!

Glen and his team were amazing to work with. From start to finish Glen was extremely patient, helpful, honest and wise in advising my build. I was very patient with the build turn around time and they were patient in return. I appreciated every second glen spent updating me on the build and advising added parts. I hope to work with them again in the future and I definitely recommend Circle D transmission to anyone looking for the highest quality and best customer service.

In the day and age of it being very hard to trust a lot of businesses, Circle D Transmission exceeds expectation and customer service like very few others do. They made the entire experience of getting a brand new transmission extremely easy. Constant communication through the entire process and very transparent about what was being done to the vehicle and why. Couldn't be happier with how my truck is running or how I was treated as their customer, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!
