What clients say about Firestone Transmissions in South Gate (CA)
Horrible transmission shop. Took my 1970 Ford C4 transmission to get rebuilt here and they had to redo it three times. And each time it felt like they kept giving me the runaround and had no answers to why the transmission kept failing. I also asked for a transmission cooler to be installed and explicitly asked for hardline all the way from the transmission to the cooler and of course in a spectacular fashion they used rubber hose. Additionally I had them install a B&M star shifter and of course they somehow managed to Jerry rig that too not even using the provided brackets to attach the shifter cable to the transmission. They also couldn’t figure out how to wire a neutral safety switch. I rarely write reviews and hate tarnishing a business’s name but when charging hard working people money for a service being capable and professional is required. Complete incompetence from this transmission shop and the gentlemen working there. Steer clear.
I took my toyota pick up to fix my transmission and my truck came out worse
They broke so many other things and ended up “losing” some of my tools i left in the truck.
I would not recommend place at ALL please take your vehicle elsewhere even if you have to pay more. Took my car for a transmission replacement it took them over a week to get my car fixed. I drove car for about 2 weeks and I started having problems again, car started leaking oil so I took it back.
Javier said car will be ready the next day my car has been in his shop for more than 3 days and it’s not ready. Javier (mechanic) will not answer multiple phone calls or give you update on vehicle to avoid talking to you, if they answer he will put someone else on the phone and they are clueless on what’s going on. Please look for a better mechanic Do Not give them business. I would give them no stars if I was able too.
If i could of put zero stars i would. This place is trash they dont fix anything and its been 3 cars i took there and its the same story the old chubby guy be lying to your face he doesnt rebuild your transmission he will just buy a used one and hope it works.
Had transmission switch on my 72 camaro, they left the converter bolts loose the spark plug cables unplug transmission mission bolts loose this place should not be in business save you’re money and don’t go there! You have been warn!
My truck broke down twice and had issue after issue after they repaired it supposedly. Went back with it about 5 times and they had no interest in fixing it the right way. Definitely not recommending them to anyone I know.
After weeks of sitting at the Mechanics, i got my car back in worse shape than when I took it in. Neither Mechanics seemed very knowledgeable and after giving them thousands my car still doesn’t work- trusting the guys at Firestone Transmission was a very regrettable decision.
Don't come here! I paid for a new transmission - when they said that was all my car needed- my car kept breaking down - i had to keep playing them everytime i would go -untill Javier
(the owner)suggested i replace the entire engine- when i got mad- he told me he never wanted to see or speak to me again.( there goes my three year warranty )
Be careful with this shop, my transmission fix didn't last long and Javier "the owner " won't honor his warranty. They don't know what they are doing. BAD MECHANICS!!
Give you one price then when he is working on the car say more$$, at the end say extras charges. In my case I chance transmision there, my is car is bad bad condition for a lot of money .... So be carful don't go there
Te dan un precio, cuando re estan trabajando el carro dicen que es mas , al final tambien cobra cargos extras que el experto en transmision segun no "sabia" y ahora mi carro esta mucho peor, por tanto dinero que pague !!! Asi que tengan cuidado, les recomiendo no ir a este taller
