Higgins Domestic and Foreign Transmission

I heard good things about this family shop, so I had my car towed there (an hour and a half from my home).They were very friendly and I was delighted to find out it wasn’t my transmission, but they could fix it. The part was $ 189. and would be ready by lunchtime the next day. The car was not ready as promised, took another day and they replaced another part without letting me know (which my son was already planning to fix for a $ 60. part!). The bill was over $ 800! I foolishly paid it and questioned it later. They were not as friendly and I was told they have a right to upcharge on parts — higher than the dealership, without authorization? Don’t go there!

I heard about this shop from a friend so decided to give them a try, and I love the concept of people running a small business. I brought in my 00′ olds alero. They mechanic named Jason was a straight shooter right off the bat. Not trying to upset me on things I didn’t really need and the mechanic was amazing, calling me each time he found a problem and not just fixing it and surprising me with sticker shock in the end. It’s hard to find and a decent and honest mechanic these days. It’s hard to mechanic. I am grateful for the work they did. And the price beat the 5 other places I checked. If you are looking for a mechanic this is the place to go. Reasonable prices and caring owners do make the business, I will for sue pass the word on this being the place to go!

I’ve taken my car to Higgins Trans many times– always positive results. Well, of course sometimes it’s bad news for the car, but at least I know that Jason (head mechanic) is giving me the truth about what’s wrong and has the experience, tools, and know-​how to get the job done right, the first time. Everyone is very friendly over there, and as we all know finding an honest mechanic will save a ton of money over a vehicle’s lifetime.
I have not had an engine or transmission done over there yet, because fortunately I have not had to, but I have referred others and they have been very satisfied customers too. Higgins Trans takes the smaller jobs too– I’ve had my breaks done, air conditioning, tune-​ups, etc. Each time– no complaints. Keep up the great work!
