Allen Transmission 9725 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO 63119

"Told them I needed my transmission replaced on my 70 Chevelle due to a previous diagnosis from a shop. I noticed the car had issues going up hills and slowed down on the highway. They did a test drive and said it’s the engine not transmission. Super nice about it and tried to help find a performance based shop to figure out why it was having issues. Very nice people and fast service. They had replaced the transmission on my sons 2000 Acura TL a couple years ago and did a great job on that too."

"I recently purchased a used car from out of state. I noticed immediately that the car, which has well under 100k miles, had a transmission problem. I took it to Allen for a diagnostics and pleaded with the shop to eliminate all external causes (including computer issues) before recommending a rebuild/replacement. In particular, I urged them to consider (or rule out) the possibility of flashing the transmission computer to reset the shift points, since many owners of my make and model car had successfully eliminated the problem with this method. The shop assured me that it could identify the precise cause of the issue - specifically, a very hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gears. To my dismay, they concluded that the problem was internal breakage and my transmission had to come out. Based on their recommendation, I bought a used transmission and paid to have it installed at a different (3rd party) mechanic. Upon installation, the new transmission had EXACTLY the same issue as the old. The mechanics then flashed the computer and solved the shifting issue, meaning that the original transmission had no internal breakage, and could have been fixed in the same manner. Instead, I am out a very large sum of money, for no good reason."

"3 weeks after getting my 2012 Nissan Altima inspected at Plaza Tire Service, I started hearing vibrations coming from the front of my car. I went back to Plaza Tire Service and after 3 hours of waiting, I was told that it "sounds like it's coming from transmission." They wouldn't even tell me where I could go to get the transmission fixed. So I found Allen Transmission on Google and drove straight there. The woman was so kind to me. She made me feel much better about the situation, while simultaneously being honest with me about how much rebuilding a transmission would cost. The next day, one of her mechanics found the root of the problem. Plaza Tire didn't fully tighten the lug nuts, and my wheel was very close to falling off which could have been life threatening. Allen transmission doesn't even specialize in tires, and they tightened the other 4 lug nuts without charging me a dime. I fully recommend Allen Transmission! Very professional and excellent, high quality work."

"I had an 18-foot box trouble that we believed had transmission issues. Mind you I'm from out of town We dropped it off there and the owner checked it out and said that it was coming back with different codes related to the turbo. He went beyond the call of duty and referred a business that works on Isusu trucks. Sent their phone number to me ."

"Loved working with Bevin at Allen Transmission. We had to get both of our cars inspected and emissions tested. My husbands car did not pass and we were recommended to go to Allen Transmission just down the street. Bevin was able to take the codes that had pulled up and tell us exactly what needed to be fixed. Within a couple days we were ready to take the car back and sure enough it passed with flying colors! This is a good company that can be trusted with your car. They are very friendly and made what could have been a disaster into an easy fix!"
