Report
They put a terrible transmission to my Mini Cooper, they kept fixing it in a 3 year period, they kept my car for months every time the trans was failing, and that happened at least 4 times I told them multiple times to return my money. They didn't do that, I lost over 4K and had to sell my car eventually. Be careful, these people are trash.

Report
My wife's car started leaking transmission fluid while I was in the hospital. I had the car towed in. It took a little while to be repaired, so my wife called for a status check. Franco explained the transmission lines were shot and needed replacing, and, they would have to fabricate them. Anyway, to make a long story short, my wife was extremely satisfied and happy with everything. The work, the price and especially the people at Quality Transmission. The courtesy, Franco extended to her, she had nothing but praise. Now she's happy, and that makes me happy. Thank you Quality Transmission for a job well done.
