Ideal Transmission

"They tell you one price is cheap then I put the car in the shop take your transmission out and then tell you some outrageous price or you're not going to get your car back believe me I've been there"

"Buyer beware. They claim to know what they’re doing but they don’t. How are they still in business? Read all the reviews and ask around town especially in the annex building where they hold arbitration. Just ask them how many times a month they see them in there. It’ll blow your mind! They had my truck 4 times for over 6 months and drove it (without my permission) to silsbee Toyota and was told it was a bad transmission and flashing it will do nothing but they ignored them and gave it back to me still with a bad transmission. I got part of my money back thankfully from arbitration or who knows how long it would’ve taken if I went with the judges ruling. Save yourself money, time, and frustration and do yourself a favor by avoiding this place like a plague!"

"My wife got her transmission rebuilt less than a year and a half ago with these guys and it's already starting to fail again. Poor craftsmanship at its finest. They should close there doors with the work they are producing. I definitely regret using there services and don't recommend anyone go to them."

"Do not use these guys. I am a 1988 graduate of JHS and my mother is 83 years old. Ideal Transmission is the only game in a small town and know it. My mother’s 2014 Nissan vehicle suddenly started shaking and couldn’t shift properly. She would turn it off for a while and it work but the problem started again later. She Took it to ‘Ideal Transmissions’ and they said it needed replacing and they couldn’t find another one so they would have to rebuild the original for $6600. That didn’t pass the smell test so we had them put the parts in the back (in buckets) and my family hauled the vehicle to Huntsville to a family friend’s transmission business. The Huntsville Transmission repair shop was very surprised at the $6600 price and found 3 replacement transmissions in 15 minutes. The total cost at the Huntsville shop was $2700. My mom drove it for two days in Huntsville and in a parking lot it did the exact same thing as the original problem. When we took it back to the Huntsville shop they found it had at least one bad relay and that “the book” suggested to replace both. The cost for the relays were $300. Those are the facts, make your own judgements."

"They charged me 3600 for the transmission to be rebuilt then another 125 for a sensor they said was bad. However I got my truck back and then I had no break lights at all. I carried it back to them to get things checked checked out on fluids and to inform them on the light problems that I'm having now and they wanted to keep driving it for another few days and told me to bring it back then so they could check it out. I'm very unhappy with the work and the price that I've paid. Will buy a new one next time for half price at oriellys and do it myself."
