Skagit Transmission Inc

I recently had to have a new transmission put in my Volvo and skagit transmission came highly recommended. The staff members all seemed very knowledgable and kept us up to date on the progress. We now have a car that runs well and the cost was almost exactly what they originally estimated and what we had budgeted for.

Facing the possibility of a 2500 mile drive, I was very concerned about my clutch being able to handle both the mileage and steep mountain passes. Brent and Steve listened carefully to my concerns and asked intelligent questions. Then they suggested that Brent test drive the car on a very steep nearby hill.
It turned out the vehicle is likely suffering from smog device congestion, but the clutch and transmission are fine. The vehicle has 100,000 plus miles on it and will likely have problems in the future. Their patience and honesty have won my business,

Do I really have to give them a star. Actual rating is: ZERO STARS!!!
It’s been a couple of years since my ex-​husband and I were scammed out of a bunch of money by those amateurs and I have long since gotten over it but I have a Unilocal account now and somebody else might benefit from my review. The mistake we made was that we took a car that had a bad motor and a bad transmission to Skagit Transmission. We were told they would testdrive the car and hook it up to a diagnostic machine and then call us with a recommendation. They conveniently diagnosed the transmission problem but failed to mention that regardless of what they do, the car is ready for the junkyard. I can’t remember how much money we ended up getting scammed out of (around three grand) but the endresult is that we were not even able to drive the car from their place to the junkyard — it was dead. Dead with a brandnew transmission. Since they installed the transmission they were able to collect from us — legally. And it’s true: I can’t prove that they defrauded us knowingly — that’s just my suspision but if they can’t tell when a car is beyond repair it means that they are incompetent. They can’t have it both ways — either they are honest and incompetent or they are scammers who know their trade. Caveat emptor.
