Tim's Transmission Services at a glance

Customers frequently highlight the shop's accurate diagnostics, transparent pricing, and willingness to identify non-transmission issues without charging for the inspection. Many reviewers note quick turnaround times and clear communication regarding repair options. However, a small number of low-star reviews cite poor phone communication, unresolved mechanical problems, and rude interactions with the owner during warranty disputes.

Brought a 2018 Silverado in for a pre-purchase inspection. Tim’s transmissions checked the transmission out, told me exactly what the issues were, and took time to answer all my questions in detail. I would highly recommend bringing your vehicle to them to get their opinion.

I'm grateful to these guys for saving my car and getting us in quickly. They were recommended by a mechanic I trust, and were significantly more affordable than the dealership would've been for the repair. My car (which I got used) runs the best it has since I've owned it thanks to Tim's Transmission's repairs.

I have a 2017 Ford F150 with the 6 speed transmission that developed a shifting issue. I assumed it was the lead frame that has a known issue from ford so I took it to the dealership and they quoted me $12,000 for a new transmission. Took it to Tim’s and they diagnosed it quickly as a leaking line and low fluid and fixed it for far less. They were honest and straight forward and got me moving again quick. I would definitely go to them with any problems I have in the future as well as recommend them to anyone in need of transmission service.

Tim was amazing and honest! It’s been 2 months since I got my car back and it’s PERFECT! He gave us a free estimate and several options with different costs. One of these options even included fixing it myself and he told me how much I should expect to pay and time in labor. We ended up buying a used transmission from a junk yard and he installed it for less than what he quoted us for this option! Great guy, willing to work with you, very helpful. Took about a week to get the car back but worth it to know it’s done right.

I had a great experience at Tim’s Transmission Shop. Tim was honest, knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed the issue with my transmission. Instead of trying to sell me expensive repairs, he found a fix (specific to my type of transmission) and had me back on the road in no time. It's hard to find a shop you can truly trust, but Tim provides honest, reliable service. I highly recommend Tim’s Transmission Shop if you're looking for trustworthy transmission work.
