Rancho Transmissions

Everything they say about Sal is true… He’s honest and kind with great customer service. Drove around with us for a bit and told us it wasn’t the transmission then confirmed it with the diagnostic. He gave us a great recommendation which we trusted since the referral was from him (Rancho Autocare was amazing as well). It’s nice to feel valued even if we didn’t end up being his client.

Sals he’s a professional transmission technician he fix my truck a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel I have problems with my transmission and sell give me a quote other reasonable price very honest person and they’re recommending anybody this shop on this person thank you
Salvador keep up with the good business and being so honest

Sal and the boys did a great job overhauling the transmission in my old Dodge pickup. The work was done at the quoted price and in the quoted time. Couldn’t be happier with the results. THANKS!

Met Sal today… awesome guy. Had transmission done. Got it done the amount of time he quoted me. Price more than reasonable. If you’re in l.a. river or o.c. it’s worth the drive. Thanks again Sal. Highly recommended.

I’m very Leary of taking my vehicles anywhere. I almost always do it myself. I took my truck to Rancho transmission and spoke with Sal who was very professional and easy to talk too. He test drove my truck and with in two minutes said there was a problem but it wasn’t the transmission. He explained that it was my catalytic converter and sent me to a muffler shop. And that was the problem and I had it fix same day. I’m very impressed with Sal and Rancho transmission. Very honest and friendly which is hard to find these days. I returned and had Sal service my transmission. The truck runs great shifts nice and smooth. Thanks again to Sal and his team at Rancho transmission. Look forward to doing business with you again.

Rancho Transmissions is the real deal. Being a «car guy» I’ve always been a bit weary of taking my car to a shop so when the transmission on my sons car was failing a family member said to go to Rancho Transmissions. I met with Sal who said let’s go for a ride. I thought I was going to push the car again but he really knew what was happening with the car. We drove it down the street and then the failure occurred again. He explained what was happening and after sitting for a few minutes we drove the car right into his shop. The transmission work was completed in less than a week as promised and the price was fair. His follow-​up a few days later was a true sign of a reputable business. I will share this business with any of my family and friends any chance I get.

Just like thank Sal for doing such a great job on my suburban ! He went beyond and above what was necessary to repair my vehicle and was very honest about the work. I do recommend Sal.

Sal and Pete are really knowledgeable and do a great job. If I ever have a problem with my vehicles I wouldn’t go anywhere else. You cannot beat honesty, or excellent service and that’s exactly what this shop is about. If sal cannot do the job he will refer you to another honest shop. Thank you Sal

Like many, I found this business on Unilocal.After reading such great reviews, I called and spoke with Sal. I told him my Civic was having transmission issues and invited me to bring it in. Within 15 minutes of showing up, he had diagnosed the problem and provided an estimate. He was quick, personable, caring and honest about what needed to be done. It’s hard to find great customer service but Sal has it. I wouldn’t think to take my car anywhere else.

I found this shop on Unilocal and was happy to find an honest specialist that was fair and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this shop more highly. If I could give them more than 6 stars I would.

Outstanding service, a Gentleman to do business with, my trans feels better than new… Thanks Sal at Rancho Transmission.

Sal is a very honest & friendly mechanic. My clutch stopped working so I assumed I needed a replacement. I had my vehicle towed to Rancho Transmission for evaluation. Sal diagnosed the problem, discovered it was a mechanical part that had fallen off & completed the repair within hours. What I thought was going to be a costly repair, turned out to be an inexpensive labor charge. I would highly recommend Sal & Rancho Transmission.

I dropped my 2008 Ford Fusion off on Monday and it was ready for me to pick up on Friday morning after a transmission rebuild. My local Ford dealer quoted a price of $ 8,000.00 & Rancho Transmissions charged about one-​third of Fords price. Great customer services. A big thanks to Sal & his crew!

Outstanding! I checked Unilocal for a local transmission repair shop after Aamco quoted me «somewhere between $ 1700 and $ 2500». Sal took my car for a ride (with me), asked me a lot of questions and determined that my transmission was OK, but I needed a new fan clutch. Total cost out the door $ 537! Very professional, explained everything in great detail and had my car back in business in less than a day! When you walk through his shop, you can tell this place is well run and means business. Shop is clean, well organized with fresh coffee and water available. If I could give SIX stars I would! For the record I am in no way related to or affiliated with Rancho Transmissions, just a very pleased customer!

I found rancho transmissions next to a mechanic shop i used to use, i looked them up on Unilocal and saw their reviews. I went in for an estimate, he quoted me $ 1600 for a rebuild for my 1995 Jimmy 4×4. His price is very good, and he gives you an 18 month unlimited mile warranty.
Sal, who i think is the owner, was very knowledgeable about transmissions, he explained to me what they were going to do, what was wrong, and they told me it would take 5 days, they finished it in 4 days, i was back on the road in no time. I am very pleased with the service, they actually care about their customers. I will definitely be back if i ever have any issues in the future, and i would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I came in Thursday with a problem with my clutch petal, and getting into gear from a cold start. Sal diagnosed the problem, and I dropped off my car later that day. I got my car back the following afternoon.
Sal is great. He is very accommodating and pleasant to work with. The pricing is very reasonable. This place is full of honor and integrity. I will definitely come back or recommend this place to anyone who has transmission issues.
By the way, don’t wait too long at the front desk. I went to the door between the front area and the garage. That is where I found Sal. I don’t think anyone works the front desk. At least, I haven’t seen anyone the two times I was there.

After noticing my vehicles third gear was significantly slipping, I soon came to the realization that the transmission was dying and I was going to be spending some big bucks sooner than later…
So, I started looking into local transmission repair shops and pricing, but first I called Aamco and described in detail what was going on with my vehicle. From the get go their pricing was very suspicious and the guy I spoke to, surprisingly didn’t seem very knowledgeable and was somewhat shady.
I even called my local dealership, however their pricing was through the roof and the warranty offered on a rebuild was weak.
I then went on Unilocal and soon discovered Rancho Transmission after seeing all the positive feedback. However, before contacting Rancho Transmission, I contacted my local mechanic and he said he refers all his customers to Rancho Transmissions and that he’s the best in town.
I ended up calling Rancho Transmissions on a Friday after the shop had already closed for the day, but Sal the owner said he would stay and check out the vehicle if I wanted to bring it over.
He soon verified what I already suspected, which was the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Third gear was almost completely gone.
Sal is very friendly and brought me to the back repair area of the shop and took the time to explain in detail the inner workings of transmissions, parts, and how he incorporates upgraded parts on his rebuilds.
He is a super nice guy and extremely knowledgeable! That said, I was sold, becides I would rather give my business to a local business owner than some shady corporate conglomerate like Aamco or a dealership.
After dropping off my vehicle on a busy Monday morning he was nice enough to give me ride back home. He even picked me up from my house a couple days later when the work was done. The job was completed on time and the agreed price did not increase. The warranty he includes is the best you’ll find out there.
Sal ROCKS and he is all about giving awesome customer service!
I will be coming back for any future automotive repairs and will be recommending Sal to my family and friends.

Sal is a super nice guy! Totally coming back here for future repairs on my scion. Thanks sal: o) you just earned a customer for life!

I found this place when I had a transmission on my car fail. Sal diagnosed the car but it was a so edifice problem the dealer needed to diagnose. He didn’t charge me for his time because he said he really didn’t do any work. This is unheard of nowadays because everyone charges just to put your car on the lift.
I promised I’d be back for other work and now my car needed axles and upgraded brake kit. I had supplied the parts and once again Sal was willing to work with me in providing the labor, another thing that most shops don’t like to do because they make a profit on parts as well. (just remember if you supply low quality parts that don’t work it would be your job to get the replacement. But Sal is a such a good guy he do probably take care things for you.)
The labor rate Sal offered was very fair and where there was labor that would overlap he didn’t charge extra for time where most dealers and chain repair shops do. I’d say that the rate he charges is below what most other shops charge because he does an efficient job of estimating the real world time and cost.
I am overly satisfied with the service I received and would recommend Rancho Transmission to anyone that needs an auto repair mechanic that makes you feel comfortable and confident in their work. I now have my GoTo shop for mechanic work… it’s only taken me 15 years to find a place that I TRUST.

Im so happy with the «Amazing Service» I received. My alternator went out, I called and Sal accommodated my need, he was prompt and took my car in right away. Such a courteous and friendly staff. You can’t go wrong with this place. I will definitely bring my car back for any future repairs. Thank You «Rancho Transmission & Automotive! :-)
