Due to supply-chain issues, we will not be working on Toyota or Nissan transmissions until parts availability improves. Since 1965, drivers in Sacramento have come to us for transmission repairs. We know cars inside and out. The many service extras that we offer have made us Sacramento's repair center of choice.
We are a local, family-owned business that was founded in 1965. Because we are not a franchise or part of a chain, our name is on the line every day and every customer is important to us. We invest in training and equipment to ensure that our people always have the skills and the technology to get you repair done right.
Transmission problems require immediate attention and the longer they are permitted to continue, the more damage they can cause. If you encounter any of the symptoms of a failed or failing transmission, bring your car to the experts at A-1 Transmission Service Center for an external diagnostic service.

I think the word expert can be more of a slogan than a reality sometimes. Scott at A-1 Transmission is an expert in his business. I learned more about my Ford E4OD than in the previous 20 years I have owned it. It was worth every reasonable dollar I paid. I think that expert repairs at a reasonable is what everyone is looking for.

Went there many years ago had a transmission rebuilt it worked for years sold that van, I was very happy with the rebuild. Last week went again fixed my f150 in 1 hour. Fixed what needed to be fixed did not make up things to be fixed. Did not overcharge. I believe if Scotty says what needs to be done to your transmission then it needs to be done, he will give an honest answer. I've been to a transmission shop twice in my life. Scottys A1 both times and I've walked out satisfied both times.

I have taken my vehicles this year to scotty's with no clue on what was expected to be diagnosed. Let me just say that this shop is straight foward and professional. During this pandemic you get people who are not always honest due to loss of income/ business. I do not believe them to be dishonest or taking advantage of me. Scott was kind and considerate. I definitely would return here in the future. Thank you guys here at Scotty's A1. Appreciate you all. God bless!

From the moment I called for advice to stepping foot in the door I was absolutely impressed. Immediately being greeted with a warm, friendly, comforting hello. A breath of fresh air! Efficient, precise, informative every step of the process. A transmission on visual display in the clean, organized seating area allowed for a hands on explanation of what needed to be done. Scotty was the most professional, personable, amazing guy.
I left all my stress and worry at the door and knew I was in great hands. My truck runs great, no more transmission leak. Thank you to all the crew that worked on my 2002 Ford F-150. Everyone of you have my seal of approval in the great book of my trucks life. I highly recommend this place to averyone who wants great quality service from great quality people. Thank you!

Scotty's is a first class transmission repair shop. Their knowledge and service are exceptional. They are old school - they do all their own work on transmissions. They know the internals. No drop and swap here. They have all the special tools needed to repair your transmission instead of forcing you to buy a new one. They are straight forward and never have any hidden agendas.
They back all their work hands down and make no excuses. For example, I had a transmission overhaul on my '04 Ford explorer. I brought it back for its few hundred mile check up and mentioned a slow fluid leak. Scotty put it on the lift and showed me the problem (an o-ring leak in the drain/fill assembly). Scotty personally drove to the parts store for the new plug and had my vehicle repaired and me out the door in 45 minutes. Scotty's may not be the cheapest but the are the best value in the area.

After the transmission in my work truck went out, I needed it fixed quickly. The tranny went out on Sunday, I called Scotty's the next day, within an hour I had a diagnosis, and my transmission was rebuilt and ready to go Wednesday afternoon. My truck was actually ready before I was ready to take it back. There was a small issue with the fill tube, I brought the truck back just this past Monday and it was fixed within an hour. Would definitely go back if I needed to

Good, honest work done in a timely manner. I truly appreciated the information Scotty shared about both vehicles in my family. I will return to this shop if i ever have problems again, I own a Chrysler so yea. I highly recommend that anyone give these guys a call if your vehicle is having issues. The price is right because the work is correct. They ain't old yet but very old timey experience! Thanks guys!

Took my old Ford Explorer to Scotty and he and his team took care of me. They were honest about the problems and what it would take to fix it. I feel confident in their abilities and happy with the service they provided. I ended up not getting my car completely fixed at that time because to me it wasn't worth the trouble but I'd definitely go back in the future.
