Took our vehicle in December 4, 2020. Got it back November 12, 2021.yes almost a year later.the mechanic was very rude and disrespectful causing a huge very uncomfortable confrontation. The owner Jim, did nothing to stop him from treating his customers in such a rude way. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL.Rude, disrespectful, unhappy employees (mechanic) slow work (obviously, it took a year to fix a crank)

My family has taken our daughters' Jeeps to Jim/Trans Tech several times now. We will definitely be a regular customer when we need work done on our Jeeps. They are courteous, professional, very thorough, and reasonably priced. They have traced unusual issues with our vehicles and figured out the cause (and fixed) every time. Its so good to see a local business run in such a customer-oriented manner. Well Done!

My daughters 2006 Hummer transmission went out, and Jim was on it, he treated us like we were his family. I also had him work on my other vehicle and again was amazing. He did not take advantage of me at all what so ever, he was honest & professional. His team was far most the best! Thank you Jim, for taking great care of us. Service: Transmission

Awesome place, with great service! I overheated my transmission over the weekend. Called them Monday morning and they were able to see me the same day. Other shops wouldn't see me for at least a week. Needed to get that burned fluid out ASAP. Jim was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions even though he was very busy. Will definitely be returning if I need any more transmission work done.

I recently took my 1970 C-10 to Trans Tech for a motor swap, new transmission and few other items. I did my research, visited multiple shops and met with multiple shop owners prior to making a decision on who I would trust to work on my pride and joy. When I met with Jim we spoke at length about what I wanted, what was the best route to get there and what it would take and cost. I immediately felt the honesty and professionalism he brings to the table so I decided to use Trans Tech. Jim and his team at Trans Tech did not disappoint.
This was a lengthy project, Jim kept in touch with me the whole time and I felt he had my best interest in mind throughout. At the conclusion of this project I couldn't be more pleased with Trans Tech, I got exactly what I wanted at a fair price. I recommend them highly due to their honesty, professionalism and quality of work.

This is a place you can trust! I originally took my vehicle to a competitor and was told my engine had catastrophic failure and had to be replaced. I started looking around to find an auto shop with a good reputation and I now know why trans tech as reputation they do. Turns out my engine did not have catastrophic failure and was fixed for a fraction of the cost the other shop was quoted me for a new engine. Having a go to auto shop is important and I have found mine.

Trans Tech offers high quality work at a cost thats reasonable. Whats important is that when youre done, youre confident the repairs solved your problems, and you know the work completed was absolutely needed. Why? Because the business has integrity, a well trained staff, and deep experience.

I brought my Dodge diesel truck to Trans Tech for some repairs and everything was completed in a timely manner and the cost was reasonable! My truck runs great and I'm very happy with the outcome! Jim answered any questions I had! I can tell he runs his shop with professionalism and integrity! My wife was impressed how clean the waiting room was for customers! I would recommend Trans Tech for all your auto needs and will bring my truck back for any future repairs!

Their work is wonderful, and the customer service and genuine care for people is so rare. I will be a lifetime customer and recommend everyone I know to them.

Diagnosed and repaired my 99 Ranger 4x4 drive train. Jim and his crew are courteous, prompt, knowledgeable, and fully professional. They fixed a rear differential problem just before it failed catastrophically. Trans Tech also checked and performed requested maintenance on the transfer case before that became my next issue to contend with. I have my truck running like new again for a very reasonable cost. Excellent service all the way around. Trans Tech has a new lifetime customer.

I just got a transmission flush today on my Suburban and they were very professional, friendly and for the first time getting my car worked on, I did not get hassled for up-sale. Seemed like good, honest work and a great business. Ill be returning.

Incredibly fair priced and great to work with. Jim and his mechanics are top rate and I couldn't be happier with the repair service from these guys! They were fast, reliable and HONEST! I just recently moved back to Colorado Springs and these guys will be my automotive mechanics for life!

I have a 2008 Expedition that has had an issue with the 4x4 front hubs trying to engage when in 2 wheel high. I tried a number of companies in town and they couldn't even replicate the issue mainly because they didn't put in the time to find the issue. Trans Tech did an exceptional job of listening to my facts around the problem and the history of it - then they put in the time (many many long test drives) to truly diagnose and fix the problem. Thanks for believing me and finding the issue! So Happy - took it to the mountains and did some serious 4x4 afterwards - two thumbs up!
