Had a full transmission rebuild and one seal was bad on the top of the transmission and they did replace it fairly quickly. But when asking about a transfer case leak ( we did not have before) I was told it was a seal on the back side of it and they do not cover it. I was told they “usually do t have a problem out of them and we don’t mess with the transfer case”. But we didn’t have this problem before they worked on it and was told if you want it fixed bring up here and we can charge you to fix it but it won’t be covered under a warranty. Will not be going back up there for anything. Could have spent an extra $500 bucks and had it done right the first time and a “we touch it we warranty it”.

We love James - He is always so polite on the phone and always willing to help! Even if he can't do it- chances are he knows someone who can!

If you're looking for an HONEST, reliable, and TRUSTWORTHY transmission guru then look no further! After taking my vehicle to another shop in Athens, I was told that I needed a brand new transmission due to metal shavings being in the transmission oil (I'd just purchased a 2014 GMC Terrain and it was, at times, shifting hard and seemingly slipping. At other times, it would shift out beautifully with no issues). I informed Mr. James of what it was doing and he told me to bring it to him to diagnose because it may not in fact be the transmission. Turns out, it was NOT. After he diagnosed it and drove it for a bit, he informed me that I needed to have my wheel sensors replaced and my ABS system serviced. He highlighted what I exactly needed to get done on the diagnostic paperwork he provided. Took it to Classic City Motorworks in Athens. They ordered new speed sensors, put the new ones on, and now my car is driving smoother than before, with even more take off power, and is consistently shifting out smooth. James Transmissions saved me from what would have been a $6k-$8k job! While I do have to finish getting the ABS system serviced, the wheel speed sensors being replaced has me back on the road and not regretting purchasing this car. Never once did I question what he told me was going on with my car. He made it clear if there was nothing wrong with my transmission that he was not going to have me pay money for something my car didn't need. Will definitely recommend any and everyone that has transmission issues to his shop. I wish I could give 10 stars!

You want find a better person who sticks to his words than James. He’s so kind and understanding with unbelievable knowledge when you talk with him about your issues. He was recommended to me by someone at another auto garage in Watkinsville Georgia. Unfortunately, due to some failure with new parts we had trouble in the beginning but in the end James made everything good. I will never use anyone else in the future but James transmission. Thanks James, this old man truly appreciates everything you’ve done. You probably lost money on my job but I will try to recommend everyone I can in the future and also use you on my other vehicles in the future.

I was recommended by friend. James was very nice and performed a detailed check and test drive of my car. He didn't charge me. It was so nice to a student who has just moved into this city. I will definitely come to him later when my car need repair in the future.

Was told the whole transmission needed to be rebuilt for an estimate of $5500. Got a second opinion and was told the transmission was fine, the torque converter was fine, and that it was only a history code that needed to be cleared. Hard to find a honest mechanic. Be sure to get a second opinion before taking this one’s opinion.

Charged my Dad $125 for unapproved diagnostics that produced the results of an OBDII scan. "We never apply "hidden cost" to our work. When we provide you a quote on a transmission rebuild, we give you a set price range ahead of time. We promise you won't ever have to worry about any surprises."
