University Transmissions

Very friendly and efficient! I will certainly return! He serviced my car right away on a SUNDAY! Thank you so much! And the front office staff are so friendly and welcoming! Such a doll. Thank you.

We were quoted $ 360 for a water pump and thermostat by phone on Saturday for a 2000 Saturn LS. Since the car wasn’t running, we had to have it towed there first thing Monday morning. When the guy checked out the car, he said, «Oh, an LS… I thought you said it was an SL,» and the price jumped several hundred dollars. Perhaps the quote over the phone for a different Saturn model was an honest mistake… I have to give them the benefit of the doubt to be fair. We felt somewhat cheated about the vastly different phone estimate compared to the quote when we actually brought it in, since that was a major consideration in towing it there, but we could not drag it around at that point to find another repair shop. To make matters worse, the due bill of $ 562 didn’t even include a thermostat when the $ 360 did, so maybe you can see why I wouldn’t feel like trusting them with a big repair again. This was a bad experience I didn’t expect from UT. They did agree to let us pay a $ 160 balance on payday, so that was decent, but it shouldn’t have cost that much in the first place.

Meh

Wow Armando is one awesome guy! First off my prayers are with your mechanic for a speedy recovery. These guys are truly honest and know what exactly what is wrong. I expected to pay a huge repair bill, but Mando found a loose screw that this other shop did not tighten when they replaced a speed sensor for my ’93 4Runner. He topped off the tranny fluid and applied Lock-​tite to the bolt. Thank you again for your honesty and expert help. That «grinding noise» is gone and it runs great.

Had a quick and no hassle oil change here today.
Mando actually seemed to appreciate the, ah, interpretive dance I used to demonstrate what is going wrong with my transmission — now that I like this place, I will be bringing my truck back for the Big Issue.
No pressure, no hard sell. Thorough diagnosis of problems and good work done at reasonable prices.
A keeper.

Great service and great prices! I recommend this place to all of my friends!

I am your typical car owner that takes her car to the dealership service center. This is mainly because I own a hybrid. Today, my power window wouldn’t close… leaving my window wide open. I called up Toyota and explained the problem. He mentioned that I would need to come in before 3pm to run some tests and to see if any parts would need to be ordered. What kinda tests need to be run on a window?!? I knew for a fact that «tests”=$$$ and I didn’t feel like it was worth it for something that seemed simple. I called University Transmission mainly because I had heard good reviews. I talked to Mando and drove down during lunch. He was very friendly and they got to the car right away. They were able to fix the window in about 30 mins. I was right about the window being a simple fix too. They explained what may have happened and I got to see the inside of my door :)
If I had gone to Toyota for this I probably would have paid for a couple tests and crazy labor fee to open the door panel and put the screw back in.
Mando and the guys that work at this place are great! I’m so glad I have a place I can trust :)

I went in here on a rec from a friend. My truck has got 251,000 miles on it so I have to be kind to it to keep it running well. I just needed an oil change. I made an appointment so I would not have to wait. They had a bay open for me when I drove up. Armando asked me if I needed my tires rotated. I asked how much that would cost and he said it was free with the oil change service. I like free. Hells yes, switch those bad boys around. They also looked over everything underneath just to make sure there were no obvious problems and gave me a report on my brakes. This is way more than the Jiffy Lube guys do. Plus I got all this for $ 24.95. Woo hoo!
I was checking the place out while they were doing my service. They do transmissions, oil changes, and most major services. They also offer free towing if you have your vehicle serviced there. The customer service was definitely five star. Everyone was über nice all while being professional. I have found myself a new oil change place.
