I have been bringing my Corvette as well as my Ford Pick Up to Sam and his guys for quite a while. I've learned that Sam is knowlegable, honest and reasonable and his shop is much more than just a transmission shop. Over the years, my Corvette has needed repair on everything from motor mounts, electrical, cooling system, U-Joints, drive train, brakes, as well as scheduled service. Sam has been able to do all these things. Since My 'Vette is an '86, many of the parts are hard to find and considered obsolete, but because of Sam's contacts throughout the U.S. it was soon back on the road. Sam has also done repair and scheduled service on my Ford Pick Up. Most recently it developed a charging system problem, but it turned out to be more than just changing the alternator. Sam's tech's diagnosed that some of the wiring had shorted out resulting in the problem. They had the problem fixed and I was out of there in no time. I've recomended Santa Rosa Transmission to my friends in the past and will continue to do so!!!

We have trusted both our cars to Santa Rosa Transmission for a number of years now. We have always had fantastic service at a reasonable price. The people are wonderful but best of all our cars are wonderful as a result of taking them here. We had the transmission rebuilt several years ago in a car with very high milage. We have been going back to them for EVERYTHING now and couldn't be happier. I read some 1 star reviews here and boy did they get it wrong. Service is fantastic and reasonable.

My first stop at SRT was to have my old beat up Ford Explorer's transmission rebuilt. I told the owner, Sam, I wanted a new one because I didn't want my 160,000 mile car leaving me on the side of the freeway. He assured me he could save me money by doing a rebuild instead and that I didn't need a new transmission. I'm over 210,000 miles now and the thing shifts like the day I purchased it brand new. SRT sent me emails to bring it back in to be sure the rebuild was still going strong and I scheduled a oil change while I was there. Since then I've had two wheel bearings replaced. I got competitive quotes for all the work and SRT was cheaper off the bat. Sam always sets the right expectation, and communicates his progress and costs. I don't shop around any more bc I know SRT is going to take care of it and I don't have to worry about being treated fairly. I'll be taking my old car there until it dies.

I love Santa Rosa Transmission. I have been taking my car to them for a very long time. I am driving the same 1999 Saturn and I credit the long life of my car to the excellent care that it has recieved at Santa Rosa Transmission. I wouldn't have the confidence that I have in Santa Rosa Transmissions with any other garage. The shop is always clean as are the rest rooms, and I think the employees are not drinkers or druggers. I believe that this is very important when it comes to being able to depend on the quality of the work that they do on my car.

One of the most difficult things to do in life is to deal with the public in business. Unfortunately people seem to be more inclined to try to get something for nothing now than in years past. It usually comes down to communication and listening. Each of us have our own areas of expertise and depend on others for the areas they are good at, (note I didn't say are excellent at.) I also took my 1988 Ford one ton to SRT and they served me well. They even drove me home,so I could leave the truck there. The repairs were expensive, but we as customers seem to forget that the shop has to pay rent, salaries for all of the employees, utility bills, insurance (their liability insurance bill is probably obscene....)property taxes and on and on. All of this comes out of the work performed. I have difficulty correlating the expenses of most all things now with what I paid 60 years ago. However SRT will take the time to talk to you and explain what the problems are. You then make the decision based on what they explained. I have found that as they do the job, if they find something else is wrong over and above the original survey and estimate, they will call you on the phone and explain and you can tell them to proceed or not. If we as customers do what we can to make their job easier, I have found that they will bend over backwards to do their best. Automobiles are expensive to buy and to repair, but they beat the horse and buggy and we don't have to clean the stalls. I have had three vehicles in to SRT and I am certain that they do not have bad intents towards their customers. They don't want bad reviews because they know that one bad review can cause more damage than the number of staisfied customers who never write a review could make up for. No one wants a bad reputation. Good work leads to success, and they know it and do it. In spite of the bad reviews written here, I shall continue to use SRT because they are the kind of friends I like to have.

Santa Rosa transmission was unable to pinpoint the problem with my tranny at this time and informed me immediately. It was comforting to know that instead of blindly continuing with dismantling my transmission and charging a large sum of money to guess at what was wrong, they returned my vehicle until it can be further diagnosed and fixed at a later date. Thank you for the honesty!

Good communication. Quality work

I felt like this was a well run organization. They seemed to know their stuff. Pricing seemed fair and the staff was friendly...There appeared to be no place to sit down if you wanted to wait. I went for a 2 mile walk down Santa Rosa blvd, but wouldn't recommend it as a nature hike. The 1/2 mile walk to Luther Burbank's home is worth it though if you're into plants and gardens
