I have a 2500 Diesel truck that needed the clutch replaced. As I have the engine turned up a little, a factory replacement clutch would not work and slip immediately. I had already purchased an aftermarket clutch kit, but most shops wouldnt use customer supplied parts. Thankfully, it was no problem for Ed and his team!They replaced the factory clutch assembly with my upgraded South Bend clutch, replaced the rear main seal that was leaking badly, washed the transmission and inside of the bell housing. They also discovered a cracked clutch fork and replaced that with OEM part from local dealer.The work was done in a very timely manner (less than a week), and VERY reasonable priced. Other shops were much more expensive and many were at least a month out to even look at the truck. I would gladly return to their shop for future work.

Ed and Rickie were very awesome! They rebuilt the transmissions for my 71 plymouth roadrunner and my 79 Trans AM. These guys are very knowledgeable and professional. My new go to place for any transmission needs! Thanks guys!!!

Took a bmw with an auto ZF auto transmission and they got it up and running within a week. No other shop has the guts to even touch a ZF auto, but these guys swapped my transmission and even changed the valve body with a new one. While still being about $300 under other estimates. I flew in Tuesday morning, picked up the car, got a tune up, and drove 1,200 miles the same day! I trusted this shops work and it really shined through. Its been 1 year since, 6 months past warranty, and this transmission has held up better than anything so far. Car was 300hp stock; it is now about 550whp and the transmission is still going strong!Just one quick tip Ed (: you were right that sometimes these transmissions dont require coding. But it will still cause communication between ecu and the transmission module. All that is needed is just a quick vin match to prevent further issues.

ED is one of most help full, honest, good man, any body need Differential work go to this place you wont be cheat. went to many places all give me lie, Finally went and talk to ED he give me good advice and my problem was solved. Thanks again ED.

Can’t thank Ed enough for doing such a great job rebuilding my 2007 Ford Explorer transmission. Ed really goes above and beyond when doing his work and you can tell he really knows what he’s doing. The SUV drives better than ever and couldn’t be happier! So glad there are mechanics like Ed you can trust who take pride in their work...thank you!

Had to get my transmission rebuilt, happened to drive by and get it checked out. Was helped by Ed (the owner) and he is VERY professional and honest. After a reasonably priced quote, I went with them and within a few days my car was running again in flawless condition. These guys are straight up and do fantastic work. 5 stars well deserved. Thank you!

Competitive pricing and good service. My trans went out and they got me a great deal on a used trans. Id recommend them to a friend

Mr. Ed is the awesome person that I met in my entire life since I know. He is the must loyalty person who always do his promises. I highly recomet his shop to everyone for all you need in transmission seevicr,change and replace Im so thankful to this place and to Mr. Ed. I really appreciate it his service.

Hi my names GabeI Googled Ed’s Shop And after talking to him i new he was the man for my Transmission Rebuild on my 2011 Chevy Malibu He’s very Knowledgeable and honest I trusted him right from the start + he sends you pictures of your damaged transmission before and after I really liked that so if your looking for a shop you can trust and get the job done in a timely manner call the transmission specialist thank you ED my car and truck shift great 👍 👍5 STAR SHOP⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We took our car here. Mercedes was going to charge us an exuberant amount of money. But Ed said hed work with our third party extended warranty. He had to fight tooth and nail but got it done for the most part! Our car was tricky because it was not only the transmission, it was the radiator and tork converter. We are glad we finally got it done and had to pay little out of pocket! Thanks again Ed for all your hard work and time. My husband and I greatly appreciate it!I would definitely continue to do business with Ed. Very honest, trustworthy man of his word.

Hawaiian Ed is the very best and trustworthy!

I would like to take this moment to say that Ed the owner is honest hard-working guy that we had issues with my 6-speed on the 535i BMW but he never gave up to get it repaired and work with me until we had it it completed even though he had some issues he didnt charge me 4 because he felt bad of the time it took to get it done, his staff is very knowledgeable and he is very knowledgeable a very honest and hard-working man that we should all aspire to be

Same thing like the other reviews. Keeps dodging my calls and have assistants talk to me. But no problems ever resolve.What happened to this place? Beware people. They also give great warranty but when your car needs servicing....they wont honer it.What is the point of warranty?! No good. STAY AWAY!

These guys are awesome. My other trusted mechanic gave me a $1500 estimate for the repair on my transmission leak. I was about to auction the car for whatever I could get. I went to these guys just to get a second opinion, they kept the car overnight for diagnostics (No Charge!), the next day I call them to see how things are looking (expecting the same answer $1500) and they tell me that they have fixed the tranny for $95, seriously!!! thats amazing. the car drives way better then when I brought it here. Totally recommended, these guys are as good as it gets and they were able to accommodate me with tons of cars already in their garage. Ed has a cool demeanor!

I would recommend Ed, He know all the parts dealers aroundO.C county & L.A & he try to cut your cost lowerPlus he has a lot of experience, He will help you all the way, For sure I will go back to him !

So many positive things to say about this place. I drive a modified car that came in with many repair issues besides needing a clutch install. The owner Ed was able to solve the car problems that wouldve have been turned away by other shops. Instead, Ed went above and beyond to fix my car, including finding a custom fabricator. Instead of ripping me off with outrages prices for custom work, Ed was still able to give me a very fair price. Thank you Ed for running around town to find the suitable parts. And thank you for the awesome service.

These guys competently and quickly fixed our commercial dump trucks transmission. Ed is a kind and smart guy that clearly knows how to fix and rebuild transmissions. This is one less thing that Ill have to worry about if I have any mechanical issues with our Junk Studz commercial trucks. 5 STAR review is well deserved....thanks again guys!

Came in 4 gasket a new filter for my transmission was told it was leaking from the top of the transmission would be better to replace the whole thing will seek others opinions the staff was very helpful and and knowledgeable

Ed is the most honest guy Ive met. After my usual Porsche guy said I needed a new transmission, I wanted to get a second opinion. I found Transmission Specialists on line with everyone giving it a 5 star rating with the exception of one goof ball. Ed took the time to check out my car and determined it wasnt my transmission. He installed new plugs and injectors and now my car runs great. I saved over 10k. This was about a year ago. I had a check engine come on yesterday and even though he was busy, he took the time to diagnose the problem and turned off the check engine light at no cost. Cant say enough good things about him.

Ed is awsome my car is in good hands when I take it to Him. Thank you for your patience with my stinker of a car :)

Great place for transmission work I am 100% satisfied with my complete rebuilt transmission Ed is a real professional !

Found the shop from Google. Ed was straight forward from the start. Took my car there, explain my transmission problems, and Ed gave me diagnostic and recommendation with alternative to fix my problems the next day. Picked my option, he went on to fix as we discussed. Few days later he consulted about something he needs to do, gave my permission, he proceeded. Everything was straight forward and headache free. If you want your transmission fixed without BS I would totally recommend Eds shop. My high mileage car now running smoothly and with peace of mind since the rebuilt tranny comes with warranty too. BTW, Ed was very courteous, very knowledgeable and I got ZERO shadiness on dealing with him. Again, thanks for fixing my car, Ed!!

I would recommend these guys over anyone else in the county! They rebuilt my beat up, unshiftable 4L70e on my SS Trailblazer to handle even more power and shift better than when it was brand new from the factory. I couldnt be happier. Call Ed for all your transmission needs!

I had my f250 diesel transmission rebuilt by Ed and his team a few weeks ago and cant be more pleased with the rebuild and customer service. I was kept up to date during the whole process and was sent pictures of the work being done, would highly recommend.

Took my F150 to Transmission Specialists & they took great care of my situation. Thought it was a transmission issue. Instead, they discovered it wasnt & instead of paying for work that wasnt necessary, they replaced a bracket that had broke.....only got charged for work that was necessary...Highly recommend...they took great care of me & will go back to them in the future.

This fool told me I have 3 year warranty on my transmission or 100,000 miles 2 years later my transmission having problems I told him the engine was replaced because it overheated he tells me to bring the car in one week later he tells me that due to my engine overheated warranty wasnt going to cover it 😂 I pick up my car as I was driving bunch of smoke comeing out the back got home and the transmission drain bolt was hella loose.....That same day I went and dropped the transmission oil pan come to find outMr. Specialist didnt even put a filter on my transmission. I didnt even think twice about calling him it was not worth my time this guy is a joke ... Car is 2003 Mercedes E55 AMG

What can I say, Ed took care me. I have a 2003 Acura TL (not the S model), he rebuilt my transmission and it shifts like butter!! Thanks Ed!! this car previously was only repaired by Acura. Ed renewed my confidence in the small shops!!

My experience with ed hitchcock was the most awful business experience I have ever had...(I AM WRITING THIS TO SHOW ED HITCHCOCKS CHARACTER ) I was a newly licensed California state contractor just starting out in business.I poured a concrete patio at his house in corona Ca. The patio had brick ribbons every 8 to 10 feet in each direction and a brick border around the entire edge..one of the concrete Bays had a piece of rebar that was to close the top of the concrete and was sticking out...it was my fault 100 percent..I came back and removed that slab and re poured it...I get a call 2 weeks later and Ed said the slab did not match in color with the other concrete slabs..which I believed him because we mixed that slab by hand...so I agreed to remove the slab one more time and re pour it.and I did do that as promised...the problem is I was in the middle of moving when all of this was going on...Ed filed a complaint with contractors state license. Board the day after we poured the first time...but I was not notified about the compliant because I never notified state license board with my new address...so he attacked my bond and received a check for almost 4000 dollars..he had the money from the bond company before I re poured the slab for the 3rd time and never told me about it.. I didnt know until 6 months later... I took a new transmission in my Chevy dually truck as payment for part of the concrete work.. which he charged me 1400 dollars for a stock turbo 400 transmission... the part that is hinky on Eds part is he let me replace the slab two times knowing I was unaware of him receiving 4000 dollars from the bond company when I was doing the right thing by replacing the bad concrete work.. he made 600 dollars on the whole thing because the total job price was 3400.. he is a good business man but not a good person.. I never contracted again after this...thanks for reading.... Marty Nall

Good people and clean work

Ed is stand up professional and honors his warranties!!!

Been trying to get a hold of ED. They keep taking my messages and dodging my calls. I just had a couple of questions, and I did finally get a hold of ED he said hed call me right back. NEVER HEARD from him. good luck trying to get things done.

The best in the market ... are very technical people ... a lot of variety ... with a huge ability to solve any problem with just calling e. ... inform you..they from there solve you..they tell you directly, when, how ... and most importantly how much ..
