I brought my car in last year for an oil leak and rear differential fluid change. They are fair on pricing, considerate and get repairs done in a reasonable amount of time.

My 25 year old BMW 528i was leaking transmission fluid and starting to clunk when changing gears. I expected the worst and started researching transmission repair companies. One national brand told me to leave the car for an entire day for a "free estimate." I don't expect not to pay for a man's work and after researching that shop's reputation, I decided to go with Red-D, which is not 1 mile from my place.

I came by at 8 on Tuesday but it was raining and Wes and I agreed tomorrow would be better. He said they don't work on BMW, but I said it's got a GM transmission and so he said that will be fine. I dropped the car at 8:00 Wednesday and expected to wait most of the day for the estimate, but within 2 hours Wes called and told me that he can fix the 2 leaks and recommended full service as well.

I agreed and asked him when he could do it, expecting to have to make an appointment. He said he could finish it today and the price was not even close to what I had expected. I said "do it." At 2:11 he called and said the car is ready and come pick it up. I walked over and paid him and got in the car and WOW! Smooth as butter and no more leaks! I do lots of reviews and this is one I have gone the extra mile to review thoroughly as transmission problems are a scary deal.

I highly recommend Wes and his family owned business. They've been there 30 years and I've driven by there for 30 years. The place is clean and you will find many positive reviews besides mine. Thanks Wes! I'll see you in 40,000 miles.

Wes and the family/crew at Red D are awesome! From their customer service to their quick and reliable work! Both times I took my Jeep in for work to be done, it was done before the end of the business day! Very quick turn around time. I highly recommend this shop. A great place that I found just by searching around on google.

I called and spoke with Wes and he was very helpful over the phone. I brought my car in at 7:30am Friday morning, they had it diagnosed and called me back with the results in a few hours, tracked down a replacement driveshaft locally and fixed my issue. New Ujoints, replaced driveshaft, transmission filter and fluid change and had my car ready by 5pm. Great service!

Today I took my car to Red D for the first time to have the transmission fluid changed. Wes wrote me up and my car went in right away. He came up to me a bit into it to tell me my oil pressure switch was leaking oil badly which I confirmed because I had been smelling oil burning but didn't know where from. They changed it for a mere $25 parts only because they were already in there.

They saved my engine from burning out and I am so thankful to them! I was in and out so fast it was perfect timing. These are some honest, standup guys and though I hope to never need repair services, I will definitely come back again for maintenance!

I haven't used other service shops with the exception of Maita Toyota. I have only experienced professionalism and integrity from this family owned business. Personally I have experienced professionalism and resolution to all my vehicle repairs. Yes, I highly recommend Red D Transmission.

Professionalism, friendliness, integrity. I am beyond impressed by Red D Transmission. We called Red D asking about installation of a transmission cooler to make our 2012 Ford Escape tow-ready. I got straight-forward no-nonsense information but was told they'd need to inspect to see how much clearance was available for an installation. They also provided a timely courtesy inspection.

Imagine my surprise when Wes called and said, "You already have a transmission cooler factory-installed." He told me it was fine for my intended application (towing a 1500lb ultra-light trailer) and he wouldn't recommend changing it. Wow Red D Transmission, you just earned a customer for life.

Just wanted to give a special thanks to Joe in the front office very honest and trustworthy. Straight shooter. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who has transmission problems. If you need an honest quote and repair come here first. I'm a technician and came here for a service and they took care of me. Once again thank you Joe.

I was referred to Wes by a very good friend who stated Wes was a great and honest business owner. Everyone is looking for a mechanic who is honest, right? I took my vehicle in and there was a misunderstanding but let me tell you..... Wes made it right. He fulfilled his word and wanted his customer to be satisfied. He is truly a man of integrity, the way a business owner should be. I have now found a mechanic I will use for all my vehicle needs. Thanks Wes.

I am so grateful for the service that i received at Red D Transmission, They were very helpful and professional. I brought my car to them and they explained to me exactly what was wrong with my car. What I liked the most is that they told me how much it will cost and that is exactly what they charged me. At Red D they are honest, professionals and great at customer service,
Thanks RED D keep up the good work.
