Gars Transmissions - Paso Robles, California

Emily Vander Pol

This place was so wonderful, i ended up here after my old ford was having issues on a cross country trip. The knowledge, kindness and swiftness was greatly appreciated. I was in and out with a new to me (used) transmission in two days. I am so grateful I ended up at Gar’s transmission.

I had a great experience from the moment I dropped off my Dodge Pick Up. There very people friendly, honest and know there transmissions. I highly recommend them.

Great people, very honest and upfront! With work with you to get everything handled! Highly recommend to give them a change the next time you have any transmission or drivetrain issues!

Honest and honorable people who do great work!! I should NOT have had warranty coverage because I didn't follow the checkup schedule, but Gars stood by their work anyway and paid for repairs!! I'm still kind of in shock.

Gars rebuilt my 1996 Dodge 2500 46RE after it failed catastrophically about 18 months ago. During the job, their customer service was excellent. I paid $6500 for a complete rebuild, upgraded torque converter, new catalytic converter, and some electrical diagnostics. I was very happy with their work, and they gave me one of their t-shirts for spending so much!

Since they're ATRA certified, all of their trans work is warrantied (if you follow the maintenance/checkup schedule, which I didn't). My van drove like new for about 25k miles before the torque converter started to fail. I took it to a shop on the east coast, and I called Gars when they found brass in the pan. Gars worked with them and paid out about $1300, which they weren't obligated to do! I continue to wear their t-shirt with pride!

Had them regear my car, pick it up was leaking fluid, took it back they “fixed” it, turns out it was still leaking, dropped the car off for a 3rd time and when driving home my head gaskets went bad, had to have a the engine replaced. Called them they said there’s nothing they can do. DO NOT EVER GO HERE

Great place with wonderful people. Costumers service was outstanding. It was hard to find a shop that can actually reprogram the TCM for my vehicle. Not even GM dealer Could get it reprogrammed because they said it was to old of a model. And Chevy dealer wanted to charge me double of what Gars Transmissions charged me. Not to mention that after several attempts, we couldn’t get the issue solved on my first visit. (Nothing that had to do with them). They had me come the next day, to make sure I left with a up and running truck. With no extra charge!! Couldn’t be more thankful. I Definitely recommend them and I will surely be going back to them for any vehicle problems I have in the future.

These folks are absolute experts. I was in hobble mode on my Jeep and they cleared the computer immediately allowing me to get back on the road. They really know their stuff and I trust them.

Highly recommended! Very honest, kind, and knowledgeable people. They gave me honest advice, which meant that they lost $3200, by recommending that I trade in my car instead of going through with the repairs. Additionally, they offerred me the option of calling them to ask for "car advise" when I was ready to purchase my next vehicle. Lastly, the quoted price was very reasonable for the work needed. I was quoted $1800 more for the same job , by another mechanic.
