What customers said about transmission
P&M AutomotiveFinally getting around to do this review. Sorry it is so late. Back on May 21, 2026 my wife and I headed out with our Ford F250 and our new travel trailer.

Frontier AutomotiveFair priced and quick turnaround. Went here for a transmission fluid drain/refill. Kody took time to answer some questions and explain things to me over the phone, which was appreciative. I would return for car maintenance in the future!

Getting work done on your car right now is expensive anywhere so I’m not trying to hold that against them but, yeah, I got unapologetically hit with a giant bill. The work was fine. My car works. The communication was abysmal. They will tell you they will give you a call and then they…

It’s not always easy to find an honest and reliable auto…
