Andy’s Transmission

While traveling through the area my transmission just stopped working. I was recommended to Andy’s but still was expecting a major expense. I had gotten the van to a motel parking lot by revving the engine an barely creeping down the road and was hoping to get it to the shop the same way, but in the end had to have it towed. It was looking like a a very sad day. However when I got it to the shop, Andy started it up and got it into his shop and told that it was a stopped up filter and got me back on the road in 45 minutes, and I drove it the 400 miles back home without a hitch. He did warn me that even though it was working now, the fact that the filter was stopped up meant I had a bigger problem that I would have to deal with eventually. He could have just a swell told me I needed a new transmission and I would not have known the difference. I am really impressed with the honest way I was treated and wish Andy the very best.

While out of town last year I had a major tranny problem diagnosed as having something to do with a valve body and an estimate of around $ 900. Since that wasn’t going to happen I waited until I got back to Mount Shasta and took it to Andy’s. He was completely familiar with the problem and said there was a kit he could install for around $ 300 that usually did the trick. It did, there has never been a problem since and I am grateful we have a shop and an owner like that here.

Only Transmission shop in town. Had them replace the clutch on my Mini. then 30K miles later needed it replaced again. They had the car for a couple of weeks. A few days after I picked it up I heard a racket under my hood. Looked and found protective shield loose and shorting on a live wire. Brought it back to Andy’s, the rest of the bolts were still sitting on the work bench. The clutch went out again in (30k+/- miles) had a back yard mechanic put in a hvy duty rally clutch it is holding up better. Why didn’t Andy’s recommend a hvy duty clutch?
