I’ve had good luck with both All Drive and Knudson. All Drive will likely be able to get you in quicker. Also a lot of small town guys won’t touch transmissions.
I agree with All Drive Transmission on Martin Luther King Drive!
Would like to keep it under 6k. The quote I got was 8k, but this was a chain mechanic shop so was hoping other places were less.
Yeah, that seems high to me. I’m NC Iowa so I can’t help you much on that. With that price, you want to make sure you have several years left in it.
Not sure what make and model you have, but 3-4k for a rebuilt tranny seems to be the going rate last I knew. Have you looked into getting one from a salvage yard? May save you a few dollars.
Yeah, that's the debate I've been having. Its a 12 Lexus with 135k miles on it; very annoyed as the whole reason I bought a Lexus was this stuff wasn't supposed to be an issue with them. The used car market is pricey right now, so I think it still makes sense to fix it
I've looked at a couple junkyards online, but no luck so far. Its a Lexus, and the mechanic said since transmission issues are rare with them, its pretty much impossivle to find a brand new one.
Yup. My Camry is a champ and every other Toyota I've owned has been great; not sure why this happened. Nothing is guaranteed I guess.
Honestly for your situation, I would probably call Knudson. He’ll go for a drive with you and give you a good idea what he thinks he can do. Might be that the flush wasn’t done well enough…or maybe you’ll need a rebuild. I’m confident you’ll feel like you’re in good hands either way…and that he’ll give you good advice as to how to proceed.
