When my 4X4 recently experienced manual transmission problems, my first thought was OH OH, where do I go and not get soaked. After reading all the glowing testimonials about Dauntless, I decided to give them a try and I am so glad that I did. Due to the inclement weather we were having at the time, I asked Gil if he could have my truck repaired by the next day. Not only did he come through but he also kept in constant contact and went into great detail about the problems, cost, etc... I would highly recommend these people to... read more

Dauntless Transmissions was the BEST Mechanic experience I've ever had BY FAR. My Honda broke down in Raleigh when I was going from Virginia to South Carolina. and I though that I would have to spend my day dealing with "mechanics" who didn't care about my situation, and only cared about the money. But I was wrong. Dauntless Transmissions didn't only want my car to work right, and were willing to go the extra mile to figure out what it was, but Gill and his son truly wanted the best for me. although they had to give me some ... read more

I was going from Wilson to RDU when my car died on 540. The tow truck took my car to Dauntless. It was diagnosed as a faulty alternator. Gil said it would be ready the next day, so I got a ride back to Wilson. I picked it up the next day. All was well until it died again 5 weeks later== another faulty alternator. I called Gil and he said to bring it back in. I explained I was in Wilson and he said to take it to my mechanic and have him to call him. Two days later I went to pick up my car and my mechanic said that Dauntless h... read more

The transmission failed on our Honda Odyssey 2002 3 yrs back and I took the van to Dauntless and Gil, the best person i every met gave the assurance not to worry and fixed it so well that i have no issues so far and the van runs like a horse when i hit highways particularly. And as he promised he changed the transmission oil every year at no cost. His son Max is a very nice guy too, they always delivered the van to my home after any service they do. They are like a family more than business, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ... read more

Loren B. I have used Dauntless Transmissions for over 20 years. I just had a 1999 Acura transmission repaired. Gil and Max did a fabulous job. They are great people who you can trust. I tend to own cars and drive them many miles in my job. Gil has done three transmission jobs for me. One for a Buick PArk Avenue around 250,000 miles and then again around 425,000 miles. My 16 year old son finished the car off around 485,000 miles (nothing wrong with the transmission). Gil also rebuilt a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee which was my da... read more

Best auto service/Transmission service in the area – I was in the process of beginning to restore a 20 year old sports car that has alot of sentimental value, but no real cash value. After reading internet reviews and asking for Transmission shop recommendations at 3 autoparts stores, I had to see if Dauntless was as good as everyone said. After a brief external look and my description of the transmission issues, Dauntless said the issue might be due to old seals. However, after doing a full inspection, it was clear the tran... read more

Finally! A mechanic I can trust! – Like other reviewers, I found Dauntless Transmissions after having been jerked around by several different mechanics, to the point that I was afraid to take my car anywhere. Recently, after an experience with a garage that left me feeling helpless to keep my car from kicking the bucket any minute, a friend recommended Dauntless Transmissions. This was right before Christmas. I called Gil and left a message, and not 10 minutes later, he called me from the road. They were driving to Texas for... read more

Apathy Lost – Having lived in Raleigh for over 52 years, and been to many a auto repair shop, I had come to believe that the best you can hope for is to not get too badly taken. The integrity of a shop is only as good as the man that stands behind it. At Dauntless Transmission, I found a man that puts his integrity first. I talked with him on the phone before having my car towed in, and he took the time to talk me through the possible issues that might result in it not having to have taken into the shop in the first place. W... read more

Honesty is a trademark – After the excellent reviews, I decided to take my BMW 318i to Dauntless to diagnose a grinding noise from under the car. The dealer thought it might have been the center driveshaft bearing. Gil and his team determined it was the heat shield that was rubbing against the drive shaft. He saved me a ton of money and refastened the heat shield....problem solved. Thanks Gil and team.
