This business is just out to get people money but do NOT deliver on the services that they CLAIM they provide! I contacted Universal Transmissions back in March of 2022 about my Nissan Murano. Spoke with Mr. Chuck who claimed that they would diagnose my issue for free. First of many lies!! He charged me $500 and then told me to use the finance company that he works with and it had to be paid back with in 100 days! Me thinking that he was really trying to help me did it! That company is like these high interest places that if... read more

What I think is this business or rather non business should be shut down completely. Liars that charged us 3585.00 for a rebuilt transmission in which all parts inside the transmission were replaced with so called new parts on a 2018 Camaro yes 2018. Upon arrival at this place a lady was going off on the worker about her car (red flag indeed). But we went on inside and was told they usually ask for full payment before doing the work (second red flag). We told him the guy down the street only ask for half down so why is he as... read more

Business response:

Thank you for your comment however there are always three sides to a story. You forgot to mention that this 2018 Camaro was in a car wreck and the air bags blew out and have been pieced together with glue as a short cut among other things that have been damaged during the accident and maybe short cuts on other things too. We mentioned to you that the company we always use to programmed your vehicle did the calibration and right after the check engine light came on stating that it needed to be calibrated. When this happens, t... read more

Universal transmission is one of the worthless places, take it from me. I spend $2500.00 on a job that warranty was not honored. I have called their number at first, he sugarcoated and said how smooth it was going to be, I agreed, and I decide to continue with the repairs, the repair charges were going to be $1995.00 with a warranty for 6 months, about 3 months down the line I took it for a State Inspection, and I had issue with it, it would not shift from first gear to next. I called them, they asked me to bring it in, (had... read more

Business response:

Hello, Could you please tell me what location was this done at? Are you stating that your car is still not fixed?

CROOKS!! QUOTED MY 70 YEAR OLD MOTHER $1100 TO REBUILD HER TRANSMISSION THEN ONCE THEY STARTED WORK RAISED THE PRICE TO $3000 ON A 20 YEAR OLD HONDA !!! 

Business response:

If you are going to write a bad comment, then you should list all facts of this transaction. The 20 year old Honda is not a little 4 cylinder Civic, it is an Odyssey which is one of the biggest transmission that the Honda had fabricated. When Josh quoted your mom and even try speaking with you, he gave her several options on the pricing of the transmission. If the option your mom picked is not satisfied with you, then please speak with her or call Josh and pick another option to your budget. We are here to do a service. Her ... read more

One of the managers I believe Mark flat out lied and told me that he and car warranty company came to an agreement but that was not the case I'm finding out a week later. Stay away from this shop unless you love headaches.. Never call back just poor customer service all the way round

Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review 11/5/2019 Universal Transmission has had my vehicle since May 9th, 2019. I was initially working with David Peterson and nearly three months later handed off to Antonio (He states he's the manager of all locations but works out the 1960 location). Initial quote was $6800 after a diagnostic to rebuild my transmission. Today is November 3rd, and my car is still inoperative. They did work on my transmission and after they "fixed" my transmission David Peterson stated they co... read more
