ABC Transmission Service

$4,626 for a rebuilt transmission — honestly, the best money I’ve ever spent on a car. Here’s the story: I have a 2016 Chrysler Pacifica that’s fully loaded, but it’s getting older. More importantly, it’s a handicap-accessible van for my daughter who has cerebral palsy. New, it was about $65K — and now comparable vans are well over $90K — so when the transmission blew about 10 days ago, I was beyond bummed. I needed to get back on the road fast. I called around and a bunch of garages and “trendy” places kept telling me I needed a brand-new transmission (and quoting numbers that made me choke, ok tear up a bit). Then I found ABC Transmission — and it was a completely different experience. They work on everything from 60’s muscle cars to Honda Civics. They only do transmissions, and they’ve been doing it for over 15 years, right in the same location on South Tacoma Way. They fit me in, installed a rebuilt transmission, and had my van ready by the end of the week. When I picked it up, it was washed, cleaned, and even filled up with gas — the kind of top-notch service dealers used to provide. These days, dealers tend to delay repairs and push you toward something new (been there, done that). So yes — it was more money than I wanted to spend. But it was absolutely the best money I’ve ever spent on fixing a car fast. So if you need training work save yourself some time and get the ABC Transmission on South Tacoma Way

I was referred to ABC transmission by Jiffy Lube for a possible transmission issue. I dropped my vehicle off and they did not find anything wrong with my transmission. They were very honest did not charge me a penny since there was nothing they could do for me. David was a great communicator checked in with me when he said he would. I would definitely take my car back if I had transmission issues.

One of the things I appreciate about "ABC Transmission Service", in Tacoma, WA, is that it's a Generational, Family Owned, Business. My family has gone to them for decades, for all of our Auto Transmission Services. The staff has always treated us like Family, providing a professional, friendly, no pressure/no up sale experience. Their transmission knowledge and mechanical work is Top Notch. And their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend ABC Transmission Service. They're just great people to work with. And I love supporting our local, family owned, businesses.

ABC is such a rare find - growing up in a small town in the '60's, I remember our family mechanic - he was a mechanic in WWII, and could fix anything. He was also the nicest man you'd ever meet, and he was a family friend essentially. I do most medium-sized repairs on all my cars, but replacing a transmission is beyond my available time / tools & possibly skills. Our Town & Country needed a new transmission - not something anyone looks forward to - ABC owner/mechanic is incredibly nice, obviously highly skilled & experienced - kept us current with repair status with frequent phone messaging, & was always available by phone if needed. He remembered my name every time we came in. A new transmission would have been too expensive, so they ordered a used one - he assured me that they would send it back if it didn't seem right. After a great repair, the alignment of the car was different - I brought it back, & they sent it to an alignment shop - no charge to me. Everything is perfect, and I feel that I got the best price & value possible. I can't remember if I've ever had such confidence in a repair shop since I was a kid, going with my Dad to Ray Fundum's garage in Nebraska. My advice - don't hesitate - nobody likes the expense of repairs, but you couldn't ask for better service. Treat them kindly - they will look out for your best interests as well. You don't have to think twice about whether or not they will do their very best. A rare & very valuable local shop. Thanks ABC!

I had a great experience with ABC Transmission. David was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He was able to get my Chevy Malibu examined and diagnosed within 24 hours, which I really appreciated since transmission issues can be stressful and inconvenient. David kept me informed and got back to me quickly with a clear explanation of what was going on with my transmission. He took the time to walk me through the diagnosis and made sure I understood the situation and the next steps. It’s not always easy to find a shop that communicates this well and works this efficiently. Overall, the service was professional, prompt, and very helpful. If you’re looking for a transmission shop that responds quickly and provides honest, clear information about your vehicle, I’d definitely recommend ABC Transmission. Thanks again to David for the excellent customer service!
