Gardendale Wholesale Transmission & Automotive in
Gardendale (AL)

This family owned company is unreal! I spoke with Brannon while visiting this area of Alabama. Our Suburban decided to start vibrating/shaking... looked online for a company to take a look. Not only was Brannon exceptionally knowledgeable, he also was friendly and professional. The tech, Billy, stayed a bit longer than planned, to help us replace a part. They didn't try to over sell anything! Matter of fact, they gave me great reason why not to do extra "jobs" away from home... just to wait until we were closer to home if they were needed. Part and labor even came warranted! These amazing people treated me like family, and I can't be more thankful for taking care of me and my family! Do not go anywhere else! Take your car here. They will take care of you!

Our transmission went out on our way to vacation in Florida. We got a hotel in Gardendale and saw the great reviews for Gardendale Transmission. We called the next morning and they assessed our repair on a Tuesday and had us back on the road by Friday morning. We still got to enjoy our vacation and the car was ready to head back north. Their service from start to finish was top notch. We also experienced a miracle of generosity from God there. Thank you for helping our family.

I just want to thank Brandon and the team for getting my transmission and a few other things fixed up on my truck in a timely fashion. They have great communication and customer service. They let me know everything before anything was worked on and kept me up to date on everything through out. Recommend this shop 100% for transmission work and other repairs. They worked with me on the price too which is always a blessing. Thanks again gardendale wholesale transmission and automotive.

Brannon is an honest, transparent, and reliable person. He has completed a great deal of work for my family over the past few years. Although we encountered a few issues with Knox Auto Parts, he consistently remained honest, calm, and transparent. I can be difficult and upset at times, but Brannon always maintained a calm demeanor and a customer-first attitude, which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Gardendale Wholesale Transmission to anyone.

Brandon is Honest and Nice I would recommend him to anyone in my family….. And he is fair with his prices. And don’t try to get over on you. BrandonGOD BLESS YOU

This company is attentive to good customer service and good work. I had to have The transmission in my company’s 2008 F150 rebuilt. The price was competitive the work was good. I had one small issue after the rebuild and they promptly took care of it. Brandon understands really well the necessity for good communication. I was called with updates and the truck was ready when they promised. I recommend them highly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Service at Gardendale Wholesale Transmission! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough great things about Brandon and the entire team at Gardendale Wholesale Transmission. From the moment I walked in, I was met with professionalism, honesty, and top-notch customer service. Brandon is an absolute expert at what he does. His knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the job done right made all the difference. He took the time to explain everything to me in a way that was clear and easy to understand—no jargon, no runaround, just straightforward and honest communication. Not only was the service fast and efficient, but the quality of work was outstanding. They diagnosed my issue quickly, walked me through my options, and made sure I was comfortable with the entire process. They truly care about their customers and go the extra mile to ensure you leave with a vehicle that’s running perfectly. Gardendale Wholesale Transmission is by far the best transmission shop I’ve ever been to. If you need a team that is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and delivers exceptional work, this is the place to go. Huge thanks to Brandon and the team—y’all are the best! Highly recommend! 🚗💨

Honest and reliable! They were able to diagnose my problem quickly and give me all the best possible options for repair. Highly recommend!

I was very pleased with the service I received. I needed an older transmission rebuilt, and this family owned buisness did a great job with friendly service. I would recommend this shop.

I can't say enough good things about these people!!! Literally go above and beyond to make sure your experience is the best it can be. I'm 66 and was left in a terrible situation by another mechanic, Brannon made sure I was made completely whole in the mess. I will be forever grateful. Don't go anywhere else before you talk to them!

After two days of “diagnostics” using the newest wiz bang technologies at another shop, I was advised that my Subaru Outback needed a new transmission and that it was not engine related because there were no codes. Contrast to Gardendale Wholesale Transmission who, within a few minutes, diagnosed that it was not the transmission, identified the engine issue, and referred me to someone who could fix it, which they did. This could have cost me thousands of dollars. I really appreciate the integrity and skills of Gardendale Wholesale Transmission.

I recommend this place to everyone! Brannon and his team are very polite, professional, and do very good work in a short period of time. Very fair pricing as well!

I had my transmission serviced there. I know the owner is from a Christian background. I prefer doing business with my Christian Brothers in Christ. I just had a powersterring pump, upper and lower sterrig shafts and rack and pinion gear installed. Everything is in working order and restored. Honest and reliable work. I'm still using this place of business as recently as 11/7/2023. All my repairs are done here and done right. Honest people to do business with no doubt. I give them all the stars as allowed as approval.

My transmission failed, I searched the Internet for transmission shops in the area, I found Gardendale Wholesale Transmission. I liked his website and the reviews posted on Google. The tow truck driver tried to convince me to take my vehicle to another shop because Gardendale Wholesale Transmission was only open 3 days a week. I read a handful of customers reviews, I didn’t read anywhere in the reviews,people were not happy. Even though I didn’t know anyone in this town, I trusted what others had to say about Gardendale Wholesale Transmission. Brennon kept me informed along the way. I have to say, I was more than happy with the guys at Gardendale Wholesale, their prices are more than fair. I am a owner of a auto repair facility from Michigan Kirk Todd

I thought I just needed transmission fluid fill up & took it to Gardendale Wholesale for inspection & repair. I received a phone call that afternoon advising I need spark plugs & a tune up- I was expecting a huge bill but it was very reasonable. I was very pleased with the service, the efficiency & the friendly staff. I would definitely use them again. My car purrs like a cat.

In all my years this is the most honest mechanic I've ever had. Quoted a great price for a list of services I need. Returning on Monday. Praise God for this company. Returned on Monday and my car is in tip top shape. I trust them with all my car needs.

These folks are great!! Dropped my vehicle off for transmission work. Ended up in the hospital. Called Brandon several time to reassure him I was coming back for the car and always made me feel at ease and not to worry. I'm out, got car runs great!! Thanks GWT.

I’m so happy I found this place! I will definitely be returning and I will tell other Uber drivers and others about your service. It’s very hard to find a knowledgeable mechanic and now I think I found that and honesty! That’s for fixing my issue, as well as the speedy turnaround and excellent communication.

I’ve used these guys several times over the years for clutches and a couple slave cylinders. They have always been honest, amazing to deal with, and quick to get the work done. Most recently, I was having some transmission issues with my Corvette. I dropped it off hoping it would be a simple fix. They spent the day with the car, put it up on the lift and determined that the transmission would eventually need a rebuild. Knowing the price was more than I would want to spend on a car of that age, they suggested I should get what I could out of the current transmission and look for a low mileage used transmission to save money. They also didn’t charge me for their diagnosis and the time they spent with my car. Who does that? Exactly, nobody. I have two cars that will need a clutch soon and there is no doubt where I’ll be taking them to get the work done.

These people are about top quality work and live up to that standard. We've always have had great work with understanding to help us at the last min. bring our autos in for repairs because my wife and I are handicapped and have to wait white the repairs are done. If you need repairs you'll find no better people to deal with along with top work in what they do.

This is without a doubt the best mechanic shop I have ever used in my 58 years. Brannon, Scott and the whole crew are knowledgeable and capable of conquering anything. I have a car that most shops that I took it to would not work on. I don't understand why but whatever. Gardendale transmission has been working on it for years and I have not had any repeat issues. The honesty and integrity that they have and the measures they will go through to do what's best for the customer and your vehicle are amazing to say the least.

Brannon and his team are top notch. They have worked on my vehicles over the years and have continually exceeded my expectations. Prices are fair and the work quality is excellent. They have earned my business

While driving home from work the other day, my truck went into limp mode and was stuck in third gear. I went online once i made it home to find a locale transmission shop to take a look at it and decided to take it to Gardendale Wholesale Transmission based off reviews only. I'm glad that I did. I dropped it off Monday expecting it to be a day or so before I would be contacted with the dreaded news that I would need a new transmission. To my surprise, I was called about 15 minutes after I had arrived home with good news, the transmission relay failed and would be repaired and ready for pickup by the end of the day. I know that not everyone will be as fortunate as I was with such a simple fix, but the fact that they didn't try the old bait and switch and sell me a bunch of unneeded repairs was a Godsend. I will definitely be taking all my vehicles here for repair in the future based only on the owner's honesty and character. I almost forgot to add that the cost to repair my vehicle was really reasonable also. Thanks again Brannon, I appreciate your help.

Brannan and his staff are great! My father-in-law was driving my wife's vehicle while she was visiting them one weekend when it made a loud noise and quit pulling. Fearing the worst, someone told me about this shop. I called Brannan and inquired about the cost of a transmission rebuild. He told me the estimate, but suggested possibly replacing it with a used one (with warranty) which was much less costly than rebuilding the one in it. As it turns out, it wasn't the transmission at all. It was a defective axle which had recently been replaced elsewhere. He replaced it and covered the core charge, sending the defective part back to me so I could get my money back on it. He could have taken advantage of the situation with my being out of town and sold me something more expensive that I didn't need, but didn't do that at all. I very much appreciate his honesty and would take something to him again in a heartbeat!

I took my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 over there on a Sunday, and parked it outside the gate came back on Monday am, and told them what it was doing with not shifting while it was in Drive........Figured it would take a couple of days, and BRANNON called me at 11am, and said he thought the could have it fixed before end of the day! Talk about fast service! Turned out it wasn't a major problem like I thought it was something they found by running a diagnostic on my truck.......They repaired it, and I was driving my truck home on Monday evening! Will be taking all my problems to them in the future! Oh yeah I paid over the phone, and picked up my truck after they closed!

Brannon and his team are just awesome. For me, the first thing I look for in a shop is honesty, the second is fairness. These guys have both.... And more. If you are looking for someone to give you an honest assessment and do the work at a fair price, look no further.

Brannon the owner is honest and kind and doesn't rip people off like some do. My sister has used them for years and I have twice and each time he bent over backwards to help us any way he could. I recommend them to everyone I know.
