Transmission issues are scary! But when you know the place to go, it makes everything way better! Al and the guys are THE transmission guys in Ocean County!

AL bought my 1974 Thunderbird, he was a pleasure to work with, he drove from Tom’s River NJ to Riverhead Long Island to pick up the car. From beginning to end he kept me up to date step by step and the sale was a breeze. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy a classic car or you’re selling one.

Brought my honda in for a transmission replacement. Called around for quotes and settled on Coast as they offered a better warranty and fair quote. Big Al took care of me and stuck to his initial quote. Also had me come back in after a few weeks to make sure everything was good to go after some driving. Will come back for future repair needs.

Unbelievable work saved me from an overheated vehicle on the side of the road, installed a new radiator and water pump into my vehicle. My car runs and drives great now at a reasonable price for purchase must recommend to others. A+ service

My truck had an unfortunate meeting with a parking lot pole, and due to the front end damage, it was barely drivable. I called a friend for advice, and they recommended Coast Transmission and Performance. We brought the vehicle there, and they were able to get me back on the road in less than 30 minutes!! They were so professional, friendly, and very reasonably priced!! I would highly recommend Coast Transmission and Performance to my family and friends. Thank you again, you saved my day!!!

Had a few issues with a used car i purchased, Aldo helped me so much with everything going wrong with the car. He always made sure that the car was safe, and he was very informative. I can’t thank him enough!

What can I say about Mr. Al and his staff my daughter recently bought a car a Buick enclave and not knowing the transmission was bad. I took it to Amco and they told me I need a transmission. Wanted to sell me a used transmission for 6750 and said that it had 80,000 miles on it Would give me 10,000 mile warranty for one year. I spoke to Al and he gave me a brand new transmission for much less, my daughter got the car back. She is so happy with Mr. Al And his staff professional very, very friendly. Great job went out of his way to make sure that everything went smooth and even helped her out with a couple of other things in the car, I can’t say enough for this gentleman and that’s what he is a gentleman. You are my new Mechanic and you and your staff a wonderful people thank you so much for all you’ve done !!! Dominick B

Brutal! Talked to the boss on 10/17. I had a po700 code set off the dash lights on my '14 Subaru Forester. He had a good sales pitch on the phone,told me he was a Subaru guy. Dropped the car off on Monday 10/20 @9:30. Told me he would have a report for me layer that day. Nada. He called me @ 5:15 with no info for me. Told me he would have a diagnosis for me at noon the next day. Again nada. I called him @3:00 he told me he was gonna drive it and get back to me. He called me back at 4:30 to tell me I needed a new transmission without much detail. No texted or emailed diagnosis. Said he would have an estimate the next morning at 9:30. Nada. I got there at 1:00 to take my car. Gave me a song and dance. I asked him if the valve body was good he said yes. I took the car to Lester Glenn. They diagnosed it in less than an hour. Needed a new valve body. Diagnosis and repair done in less than a day. Coast wasted my time for 3 days,also had me pay for a diagnosis up front. No evidence that Coast did anything other than try to sell me a new transmission. Buyer beware!

Did not do any work on my Transmission and lied the whole time and refusing to give my money back.. Tells me my car is rusted out so much underneath that they can’t do the work and said who sold me the car the dealer should’ve never sold it to me, but yet it is at another Transmission shop having the work done now.. I have a court case coming up against this guy for the money he’s not giving me back for the work he did not do.. Beware of this guy.. Lie after lie… Finally took him to civil court, and he never showed up so it was a default in my favor. Now I have to chase the money. Went down there to the place of business with a police officer and he refused to give me my money. Even accused me of harassing him and the police officer told him that I was not harassing him.. do not trust this business. Very shady… I have to now go through the court again to get my money.. I don’t know how dumb this guy is but very bad for his business… And the funny thing about it is, I had the vehicle fixed at another transmission shop. There was none of the problems that he said to stop any repairs.. it’s so nice of him to screw somebody over that he knows doesn’t have a lot of money. Took me months to save up for the deposit money that I don’t have now…

I was in a bind… the emergency brake came apart inside the car’s rear wheel and locked up the wheel. Had the car towed to Coast Transmission & Performance on Route 37E in Tom’s River and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Al was the best… he immediately understood the problem, got the parts and fixed the car in record time. But better than that, he fixed the brakes while the wheel was open and even fixed the driver’s side window that no longer went down. This was my daughter’s car so getting all this done to make it safe for her was important to me. The price was much lower than expected and I am really grateful. Thank you again! My wife has a car with a manual transmission that is slow to catch when shifting gears. Now I know where to bring it!

Thank goodness for Al and Dave's experience and knowledge! After visiting Toyota Service for my 2007 Prius where I was told I needed a whole new radiator because the cap and seal were worn and that was the only way to fix it, Al and Dave both said I didn't need it. Al also saved me money on the spiral spring in my steering column that did need replacement versus what Toyota would charge me. Also, Toyota would have charged me separately to have my tire pressure light sensor replaced when, after Coastal's spiral spring repair, it alleviated that problem. I will be back to Coastal Transmission for all my future repairs.

My father has an older Mercury Grand Marquis, his transmission blew up and we ended up finding Coast Transmission and Performance. They had great customer service, very knowledgable, gave updates while the car was getting worked on. My father had a great experience, the transmission is fixed, and the car sounds and drives new again. Thank you!!

Al was incredible when I took my 2016 Jeep Wrangler to him. I called Al on a Monday morning thinking I needed new shocks in the Jeep (which I did) but Al also took me in and made sure every i was dotted and every t was crossed when taking care of my car. Al was able to fix my jeeps full suspension kit, he also quite literally saved mine and my girlfriend's lives by pointing out and fixing a serious danger with my wheels. If I had drove another mile with my wheels as they were, there is a good chance we would have both been fatally injured if it were not for Al. To top this all off, Al fixed a ground wire free of charge. In all, Al fixed 2 wheel bearings, installed 4 shocks, fixed a full wheel assembly, a ground wire, and a rim on my jeep in an 8 hour timeline and the pricing was more than fair. I cannot thank Al enough for all of the quality work he did and for making my car feel the best it has in years. Thank you Al!

Cool and friendly guys. I'm not even a customer (yet) but they were still incredibly personable and talked to me about a few of the cars in their lot just because I was there.

I can’t say enough good things about Al and his team at Coast Transmission and Performance! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with professionalism and a warm welcome. The quality of work was outstanding, and my car has never run better! They completed the repairs on time and within budget, which is always a plus in my book. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets this shop apart. If you’re looking for honest, reliable service and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, look no further than Coast Transmission and Performance. I highly recommend them for all your automotive needs!”

Went here to have some work done and had a great experience with great prices. Al and his team were awesome and very knowledgeable. A plus was looking at all of the beautiful classic cars they had on the lot. Will definitely be back.

Brought my car 2005 Toyota Camry with 500k+ miles on it to Al. He said the trans needed to be replaced but explained might be cost effective to look for a newer car. He said if I get a used car, he would take a good look at it and he did. On his own time he took my car for a test drive and explain things i might want to look into, he also scheduled time for me to come back so he could write up what i would explain to the dealership and fix what is under warrantee. I don't know too many small business owners that would do this. Its nice to know there are trustworthy business owners out there.

I have always had the best experience here with Al and this establishment. Him and his guys really go out of their way to make sure you’re happy and it’s done RIGHT. Not only has Al done work on some daily drivers for us, but he made my Chrysler 300 sound badass and he’s cleaning up the mess Autolenders left for me. Al doesn’t have to do anything but he absolutely wants to, and that’s what makes him the best man there is. Everyone here is very personable and provides remarkable results! Al and his crew are the most honest and trustworthy out there. They always go above and beyond, even on their off days, taking extra time and care with my vehicle. I recommend anyone I know to come here and I would trust Al’s word and work over anyone else.

Coast transmission helped me numerous times. Fast, quality service. Super nice folks with years of knowledge of ALL makes of vehicles. Al is very generous and has donated his time for charity events on several occasions. I would not trust my vehicles with anyone else but Coast transmission.

I will start this review by stating that my writing skills will not do justice to the level that Allen and his team are worthy of. I live 2+ hours away and called the shop because my mom lives locally and I needed to have her car towed due to a trans issue. I called the shop on weekend and Allen picked up and assured me he would look the vehicle as soon as it was delivered. He kept his word and promptly called me with his honest opinion once they diagnosed the car. He told me the car was not worth fixing and that who ever sold it to us was a crook. He could have made 5K plus on repairing the car but felt that due to the extensive damage he would not put his own family members in such an unsafe vehicle. His honesty is unheard of in the car repair business so I am happy to recommend him and his team to anyone that needs their vehicle repaired. Thank you Allen and team.

Thank you for your exceptional customer service! Al was so caring and put so much attention and detail into getting my Volkswagen Thing back to mint condition. She needed a little love and she looks & runs beautifully now!!

Al and his team are the real deal. Their recommendations were spot-on, making my fathers 1970 Nova perform like a champ. If you want no-nonsense work and solid results, ask for Big Al. Highly recommend!

Had to have work done on our 66 Chevelle and our 70 Duster 340. Al and his right hand man Dave gave more than we could have hoped for. They not only take care of your car like it was one of their own...but they care for their customers the same way. You just can't ask for better service than that!! Thanks guys....we appreciate you!!!
