In todays work environment I've gotten used to people being super lazy and not really caring about you. That was absolutely not the case here! Cory was so awesome. We broke down on our way home 20 minutes outside of town with our 3 kids and dog. He hooked us up with the kindest tow truck company, I think his name was Stan. They came fast and picked us up.
Then western transmission did everything they could to get us fixed up so we could finish our drive home. Thank you so so much for taking care of us and making us feel like you cared.

Made appointment mid July for August 12. Called a week before appointment and suggested I bring vehicle in August 11 since I had to travel nearly 100 miles. When I came in August 11 there was no record of my appointment. Service writer said no problem they would get it in next day and call me in the morning. I called on the 12th am and was told they would pull the transmission pan and call early afternoon with diagnosis. 4 PM I called and was told they were getting it in. 4:45 I get a call that my transmission is trash and for just $4000 I could get a transmission.
I said put the pan back on and I would pick up on the 13th mid day. Got there at 3:30 and writer says we have to wait while he writes the bill. I get billed $176.00 for removing my pan and replacing. The crazy part, the original estimate was to replace solenoid pack for nearly the same cost. They also used the trans fluid and filter I provided. Not happy

Brought my transmission in to have it looked at and we decided it would be better to order a rebuilt transmission. I was told 6 days would be the time till its ready for pick up. Today marks a month that I have been waiting. I still don't have it and won't for another week "hopefuly". not impressed. I use my truck for work and have had to pay for a rental this whole time.
I've almost sent as much on the rental as I will for the transmission. I will not be recommending this service to anyone who needs their vehicle fixed in any short amount of time

I highly recommend Western Transmission! I run a transport business and my truck's transfer case blew up on me. They not only fit me in that day but they were able to find a replacement when all other places were on backorder. And they got me back on the road by the end of the day and didn't try to hit me hard on the price because of the urgency and the limited availability of the part I needed. These guys are AMAZING and they know their stuff.

I came to Western Transmission in August for a second opinion on a car problem we thought was a transmission problem. Our car kept breaking down. After looking into it they determined it was an overheating problem on our Nissan. So they ordered an extra part for cooling, installed it, and I have had no issues since. It has been 9 months now! Just wanted to come back and leave a good review. These people are really good at what they do.

I have no complaints, I brought in my car on 10/7/18 because I expected it needed a new torque converter. After a quick inspection done by Corey, it was found that the transmission pan gasket was faulty. The whole staff seems friendly and concerned about your car personally. I am happy with the work and am building a relationship with western transmission. I hope I have no issues with my car in the future, but if I do, western transmission can help me.

These guys are great. Super friendly to the diy crowd - answered all of my questions and gave me a heads up on what to look for and how to do preventative maintenance myself. They filled me in on what was going on, what they thought was needed and not. If I lived in Idaho Falls permanently I wouldn't take transmission work I needed done anywhere else.
