We had a great experience here. They are true to their word about doing a detail inspection of the car when getting an oil change . Wesley went over everything with us .

These people were great to work with. Detailed analysis of work needed including photos and descriptions of how they would repair the problem. Overall took a bad situation of a broken car and they fixed it with zero hassles. Would we recommend, sure we would!

Great experience and within walking distance of my home which I really love so I did not have to tow. Very informative about my future with my present car and good advice about shopping for another one in the future. It was nice to know they will check out a used car from a dealership for about 150.00 b4 purchase. Wesley and Frank were very patient. I was not waiting in back of way too many people like Tire Discounters and they have a very clean inviting no pomp and circumstance check in space. I am very done with Tire Discounters as a new year resolution and love avoiding the expensive "honest?" dealership. Thanks guys!❤😇God Bless your business.

I had gotten an estimate for another garage before going to transmission pros. The other place told me my clutch and transmission were bad with a quote of $7,500.00. Transmission Pros replaced my clutch and my transmission was checked and it was fine. My bill was only $2,200.00. I will never go to the other place again. The employees at Transmission Pros were knowledgeable and friendly. My advise to you don't waste your time going to some place else. Go to Transmission Pros where you are treated fairly and they actually know about cars.

You have to respect any mechanic that will give you an honest opinion and not solicit money just because they can. Ulmers is on my very short list of honesty mechanics in the area. Thanks boys for being the unfortunate minority in the auto business!

I had just got my truck I just bought inspected and serviced here. I would say the people you talk to are very friendly and understanding everytime I've called them or they had called me for an update. I mentioned I wanted it back before the snow had hit this year and no matter who had called me for an update they had mentioned that they are working so hard to get it back to me in time before the snow so I felt like I was heard as a person. They kept me updated on what all they were working on. Over all they did a wonderful job the truck drives amazing. I would most definitely go back here and I've already recommended these guys to a few people. I just want to say thank you guys for your hard work you guys did amazing. I also wanted to mention for my inspection they had pictures of everything that was concerning so I didn't feel robbed like they were just trying to get me to fix all these crazy things. Highly recommend bringing your vehicle in. I'll be back for sure!

Frank and Wesley demonstrate what true customer service is all about. Took my son’s car here for his intermittent brake issues after purchasing a vehicle from out of state. Wesley went above and beyond to get this vehicle looked at with their busy schedule and after thoroughly flushing the brake fluid, retracting all calibers and re-bleeding the system of any potential air, the car is working as designed. I will definitely be taking my vehicle here in the future.

Vehicle running better now then when I purchased it. Will definitely come back for any other issue that may arise. Highly recommend Pro Transmission.

I am so happy I called Pro Transmission and Auto care. I spoke to Wesley on the phone and voiced my concerns about a grinding noise in my car. He was patient and understanding and we also talked about our love for cars. He let me know to bring it in at my convenience and the team will take a look at the issue. I dropped it off and within a couple business days, I heard from Wesley and let me know that my concerns needed immediate action for safety. I was able to drop my car off and within 2-3 business days, my car was ready. I drove it down the road and it was like night and day! The grinding noise was gone and my Mercedes was once again a quiet ride! I am so happy with the work and customer service at Pro Transmission. I will continue to use them in the future for me and my families car's needs! And will make sure to refer anyone to Pro Transmission that are in need of repair on their vehicle. My Mercedes and I thank you!Jenna

As we were traveling through Florence Kentucky, the transmission failed in my truck. We were 8 hours from home and had 5 hours more to go. The Advance Auto store pointed us to Pro Transmission. Wesley, at Pro Transmission, helped us get a rental vehicle and was able to fix my truck as we continued on to our vacation. On our way back home they had my truck done and ready to take home. They were very concerned that everything would go well for us on our way home. Pro Transmission has already been in contact with my local transmission shop to make sure we have no future troubles. My local shop and Pro Transmission worked as a team to do a follow up service on my truck. Pro Transmission covered any cost. I wish Pro Transmission was in my area because I would use them as my repair shop. 5 stars is not enough!

I had moved into the Northern Kentucky area from both Michigan, and most recently North Carolina.I had worked for Ford Motor Company for 40 years previously.I asked Jeff Schaff for a reputable auto repair company because of my 2006 Ford F-150's looming transmission issues. Jeff had grown up in the area around Florence and did not hesitate to recommend Pro Transmission.I dealt with both Frank and Wesley on multiple repair issues that surfaced with my 2006 truck's 270,000 + miles.I strongly recommend people to do business with a proven, experienced, cost conscious company.Bottom line, they are honest and "do right" by their customers.Jerry and Joni Campbell15635 Lebanon Crittenden Road, Verona, KY 41092

I have dealt with many mechanic shops throughout the years. I will now only go to Pro Transmission. They did a great job on the truck and it comes with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. They answered all my questions and even stayed a little late on a Friday so I could have my baby back. 100/100

My car has a delayed shift that may occur only once or twice a day sometimes up to 5 times a day. It happens as I accelerate. When it does happen it winds out as it misses the gear and then pops back into gear. It never kicks an engine light on which frustrates me because when I bought the car I paid 2600 dollars for an exclusionary warranty specifically for this issue. Your business seems like a great business. I had hoped that since I left it there for over a week you would be able to figure out the cause and fix it. I appreciate that you didn't charge me but 21 dollars for the gas you put in the car and nothing else. Overall I am extremely satisfied but I was hoping you could figure out the issue before my warranty runs out within the next year. I just am concerned it will continue to get worse and I will eventually need a new transmission. The delayed shift does happen. Thank you.

I had my transmission then my struts service here in the past month. They are honest, clear, and thorough. I drive 45 minutes out of my way to go to Pro Transmission because every mechanic near me is shady or doesn't want my business. Save yourself time, money, and a headache and go to Pro Transmission.

I cannot recommend this company enough. I have only taken my vehicle to them on a few occasions in the past decade and each time the customer service is exemplary, the cost is minimal, and the work is done correctly and timely. This IS THE ONLY shop in Northern Kentucky that I fully trust with my vehicle. They are the ONLY shop that was honest about my transmission repair years ago, everyone else told me it needed replaced, Pro Transmission knew I only needed a sensor before they even laid eyes on the car. While everyone else in town gave estimates averaging around $2,500, Pro Transmission fixed it for under $250!!! Take your vehicle here, you won't regret it.

I went outside my comfort zone and decided to take my car to a new service shop. How grateful I am I took it here, my Honda civic was having a issue with a sensor in the transmission. After the service my car shifts smoother than the day I purchased it years ago. The staff is super friendly and never hesitate to answer the phone when you have concerns/questions. I will definitely be returning for my future mechanical needs. Also frank was very friendly in person and over the phone definitely appreciated the exceptional service

Really friendly, no-hype shop! I mentioned being a rideshare driver and needing the car to earn a living, and they got me right in first thing in the morning rather than making me leave it and miss-out on any income. Their pricing was fair, and right in line with what I’d expected to pay, not to mention WAY less than at the local Hyundai dealer’s service center. Very positive experience!

Friendly staff, reasonably fast service at an affordable price, I would recommend to anyone needing transmission serviced or replaced.
Was referred from Chad @ Surber’s on 18 to go see Pro Transmission Frank the MGR. Service was incredible as in taking great care of us. My Infiniti QX56 having some issues I drop it off for them to services it, but they could not, due to part issues. They diagnosed it twice and didn’t even charge me for it. I couldn’t believe it. Nobody does anything for FREE these days…. WoW!!! 5 STARS. For that reason in wanted to do business with them & the Manager Frank. High Kudos. We are going to refer everyone to Pro Transmission. Thank you again

My Mazda was having some clutch problems. After getting a crazy quote from a different place, I called up to ProTransmission and they quoted me a fair price for all four parts the other place said I needed. Frank told me he would take a look at everything. My car was done within a few days and when I went to cash out, I was very surprised by the price, as it was under the quote he gave me first, turns out I didn’t need all those extra parts the other place said I needed. He treated me fairly and with respect and I will definitely be back if my car has any other problems!!

Frank was up front with details and after rebuild the price remained as quoted. I have a 400 turbo which I abused now it's like new. Frank is a straight shooter, doesn't blow smoke if you know what I mean. Refreshing for a change.Update:Had the TH400 transmission rebuilt by them, it lasted ~2.5 years. I don't drive it much ~200 miles a year at most -1972 vette. Long story short it went out again , all i had left was 1st gear left. They took it apart called me and said the broken motor mounts caused the internal issues. I took it to someone else who was amazed. I'll complete this review once I speak to the owner. MOTOR MOUNTS--NOTTTT
