The owner was extremely friendly, courteous, and honest. The transmission in my Ram 3500 went out. After several shops I checked Alamo Transmission. They had pulled the transmission, and allowed me to look at the damage first hand. They repaired my transmission faster then I had expected, and the cost was no surprise from the quote, they also beat the local competition on price. I highly recommend this shop, and will certainly use them again when I need to.

Had my Dodge Durango transmission rebuilt at Alamo Transmission and it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life taking it there. After the repair i had to return about eight times due to problems with the transmission. So finally they decided to rebuild it a second time. They cut my exhaust pipes and re welded it back, looked like a 5 year old welded it. I had to take it to a muffler shop to have the damage fixed, they also forgot to re install my 4x4 axle prop shaft. When i went back to the shop to look for it they almost threw it away with there trash because they did not know what it belonged to, luckily it was laying in the shop floor they also forgot to re- install my transmission dust cover which is now missing. Long and painful journey with this shop avoid them they do sloppy work and there mechanics are not ASE certified. Ended up having the transmission rebuilt by a different shop.

My transmission went out so I took it here to be fixed. I got my car back late and the engine cover was missing. That was back in July it’s now October and the transmission is grinding slipping and smoking when I drive. I paid for a NEW transmission not a rebuild or repair job, NEW. You will be reported to the BBB. And as far as the 3 year warranty... right, you will fix this I will not be paying any not services or parts or I will sue you.

My mom dropped off her vehicle here 2 weeks ago. They told her that it would be ready in a week tops. They said it would be ready the next Friday. Friday comes around and they pushed it to Sunday. Sunday comes around then they changed it to Monday, then Tuesday, and now on Wednesday they said it was ready to pick up. They said they would have it ready by noon on the dot and they just need to test drive it for 20 min. My mom gets off work at 2:00 so you would think that would be enough time, right? WRONG! We pull up at 2:30 and they’re STILL test driving it. The guy here said to come back in a hour and my mom was not having it, so we parked in front and waited. It’s been 2 whole hours and we’re still waiting. Im very upset at this inconsistency. If you don’t know when the vehicle you’re repairing will be ready, don’t give the customer a said date to come by and pick it up. Very nice people, don’t get me wrong. I just wish it wouldn’t be delayed as it was.

This place is a SCAM. The rebuilt the transmission on one of our pilot cars and the transmission went out within 3 weeks of the rebuild. They claim 3 year warranty on the transmission but when contacted about fixing it they quit answering the phone and wont talk to the boss or the shop that has to do the new rebuild. SCAM SCAM SCAM. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY REASON.

The worst experience I’ve had with a mechanic. I’ve already taken my truck to get it fixed 3 times. The owner said he would install new one the first time but only rebuilt it. 2 days later it broke down. Then he was trying to charge meanother $950 for that driveshaft and the pinion. I took the transmission the last 2 times to get it replaced the second it lasted 3 days and the 3rd time it last only 2 days. Terrible service the owner is a liar.

I’ve taken 3 trucks in the past year here to Alamo. I now have a trusted transmission shop to go to. Took Azzam my 2017 Raptor after I blew the transmission and he only charged me labor. No up selling or gimmicks. 2001 V10 Dodge Ram, I thought the truck was done for, but he fixed the truck and now have been running strong for 1.5 years more to this date. My poor Caddilac Escalade had a shower of an oil leak and he fixed it without hesitation.Least to say Azzams shop is now my pit stop when needing service! Great person! Thanks again

Review №21

Needed a new transmission so i decided to give them a chance. The owner made it so convincing that it would be done soon, three months later i pick it up, drove it for a day and the transmission went out again. So i took it back to get it replaced and now its still leaking and im waiting for them to fix it. Its a brand new transmission so i dont see why it should be leaking. Id recommend doing your research and try not to get scammed

Rip off! Take your car to professional mechanics! I decided to give this small business a chance since I live in the neighborhood but now I regret it! Ihad several repairs done on my Toyota truck. Drove it for about 30 miles and it was back in the shop. It spent the next three months in the shop, owner Azzam kept giving me different excuses and at one point, blamed one of his mechanics, Alex, for the delays. Four months later, the truck was still not safe to drive. I decided to have it towed to a professional shop, Fox Toyota. Come to find out that the truck had been moved to the back so I wouldn’t see that the passenger side mirror was missing! Fox Toyota informed me that some of the parts had been spray painted black, fresh paint smell. I will be pursuing legal action. These people should not be doing business in our neighborhood! I wonder if they can even change the filter and oil in a car properly!

Had a transmission fixed on my Cadillac twice with these guys the second time they left my car with no oil. And didn’t fix the leaks that i had paid them to be fixed, took it back again they LOOKED at it said there was not any. needless to say about 3gs I had to take it to a reliable mechanic to fix their problem. last time doing business with you guys.

Such an excellent place. I recommend it to everyone and anyone. This place works very well and their prices are some of the best. If you’re looking for mechanical work look no further. I’m grateful to this company and I’m upset at myself for not having taken my car there to get the clutch installed but instead I took my vehicle to have the c/v axles and something else that has to do with the axle.

On November 1 2019 I took my van because if a loose alternator wire that was killing my battery. After one day they told me it was ready. Im thinking at the most I would pay about 150 dollars. The bill was 775 dollars!! I could not believe it. They couldnt justify the the amount of labor to charge that much.They didnt install any parts only some electrical tape. Im no dummy I am capable of fixing my own van but I just didnt have any time since I was leaving town. The guys name is Alex. Be careful and hold on to your money and go somewhere else. These guys will rip you off..

Review №54

A COMPLETE RIP OFF!! I took my truck to this shop because there was a strange metal to metal scraping sound which came from the middle front of my truck. They told me I had a bad up joint and my brakes were bad. Which didnt fix the problem. I took it back in then they told me I had a bad clutch and that they I had the wrong air compressor for my truck. At the end they didnt fix the issue I wanted fixed. I ended up paying 1500 in total. I dont recommend this place to anyone. I took my truck to another shop and they had other problem fixed that same day. It turns out I had a bad differential. Alamo transmission was a big headache and a waste of money.

Good Evening My name is Adrian and I wanted to Say Thank You to Sam and Staff. I saw the only review on this Auto shop and Who ever wrote it had to be Fake or just looking to hurt this Company. Well anyway I took my Mitsubishi Mirage 96 and had a bad oil leak and some seals that popped off. Not only did Sam have one of his Guys Shuttle me back to work but had the car Ready next Day. Come to realize a couple day later similar problem arose but was not charged and was Fixed. Great Job Guys for Being a True Blue Auto Shop and Thank you for Such a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!

I took my truck here because there was a knocking noise coming from underneath. I left it thursday afternoon and they told me they were gonna inspect it and call me the next morning but i never recieved a call. I called them a couple times on friday and they would say they still hadnt checked it. So on saturday i called and they said they didnt find nothing but that the only thing they found was a nail on the tire. When i took the truck there was no nail. So i went to go pick it up and it was a gash with a screw on the sidewall which there was no way of fixing it also my gas cap was missing. I told the owner and he said he couldnt do anything that because things like that happen. So i had to go buy a new tire and a gas cap. Keep in mind its a 33 x 12.5 r20 and it had about 85 percent thread. Dont take your vehicle here. They dont know how to treat a client and wont pay if they damage something. I should have read the reviews before taking it there. Never bringing any vehicle here again!!!

Review №86

My check engine light had turned on and I decided to take it here for a diagnostic. I was told that a circuit was broken as well as an overheating problem. I asked the man (Sonny?), who claimed to be the owner, what my options were and he said he couldnt do anything but open up my transmission and see. I asked if he could give me an estimate so I was aware of how much money Id have to spend and he said he couldnt tell me which was very odd and basically sucked. It just didnt make sense to me that he couldnt give me a ballpark of the cost. Two days later he calls me saying basically my transmission is messed up and he needs $1750 to fix it and when I asked for my other options since I couldnt come up with that much money on the spot he said he couldnt do anything because he took apart my whole transmission. Anyways, had to get my jeep towed out of there and was left with more problems to deal with. Save yourself the trouble!

In Nov 2015 RIP OFF!! RIP OFF!! it is now July 2016!! Im in the military with a family of 6 including myself. Took our suburban there to get transmission checked out. SAM and SKULLY took it apart and said it will be no charge to break it down and take a look. He told me it needs to be rebuilt......Then he gave me a price. I wanted to take it somewhere else but he said CANT do. He must REBUILD it. Claimed it couldnt be put back together. So we had no choice but to let him fix it for nearly $2400. After their work on it 2 weeks later I had the same problem. Took it back under warranty but shortly after twice more same problem. Took it back 3 times. Claimed it was fixed 3rd time. Family(of 5 wife was pregnant w/6th)and we moved from TX. Transmission failed 4th time when we got to Louisiana on the HWY. Called, they BLEW me OFF!!!! Will be suing because they refuse to refund me.

After calling them out on the lack of service I paid for, they agreed to do the service i paid for. I marked the gasket and pan to see if it was removed and gasket replaced. They wasted my time yet again. After waiting two hours for them to do the service, i inspected to see if they indeed do the job this time. Again I was disappointed. This place does nothing but steal your money. Save your self the trouble and go somewere else.

We given him 1000$ down payment to fix it and is June 2016 and I need to call the police to can get my car because they didnt let us pick it up.
