Chatsworth Transmission

I never write reviews but thought Al and his office maneger Crystal went above and beyond!
I was heading up north with my Honda Odessey loaded full of furniture and things for my sons new apartment, when my car broke down. I managed to make it down the street to a auto shop, who knew it was a transmission problem. He referred me to Al at Chatsworth transmission, it was a Monday at 4:00, I called a tow truck and Al was so nice to wait for me to get there, and take me to a rental car place to get me to my other sons baseball games in Stockton, he assured me that my car would be ready to go with a rebuilt Transmission by Friday to get up to my other sons place in Eureka. Crystal kept me informed all along the way,
I came back on Friday to pick up my car, and it was ready just as Al said. I picked my car up an continued my drive up to Eureka. That following Monday I got a call from Al, as a courtesy call to ask how the car was handeling, as Al knew I had a long journey ahead of me. I have to say iv never had an auto shop give me a courtesy call ever! My car drives like a dream and I will send all my friends and family from Orange County to Chatsworth Transmission! Al your the best, and Crystal and your Mechanics were all so nice! Thank you all so much!

I was referred to Al of Chatsworth Transmission by AAA & I am beyond ecstatic at the repair done to my car. I have been having car
issues on & off for years, going to multiple mechanics/​shops around the San Fernando Valley only to have them partially fix the issues. Immediately when I went to Chatsworth Transmission, Al was able to not only rebuild my
entire car transmission (it has over 140,000 miles but it’s like I’m driving a new car) but he also noticed an issue in my engine (that I had previously attempted to fix) and took the initiative to talk to the mechanic that «fixed» it & had them finish the job correctly. Al is a trustworthy mechanic & man.

I was referred to Al by a Freind who promised me that he is a great mechanic, and will be able to get my car up and running. Well, After visiting the dealer and finding the cost of replacing my transmission $$$$ I thought why not give him a try. Al was very nice and comforting .he right away started looking for parts that needed to be replaced, but luckily he found a new transmission from a car just like mine that was totaled, and was able to replace it. Needless to say he worked Magic, my car now is in excellent condition up and running just like my friend promised. Chatsworth transmission is the place to go when you have any transmission problems. I strongly recommend it. Al is like a doctor for transmission. Oh, and BTW I paid half the price I was quoted at the dealer.

Al/​Chatsworth Transmission saved me thousands of dollars!!! I was told by 2 different transmission shops that that my transmission needed to be replaced, I wasn’t sure if I should invest thousands of dollars to replace my transmission in my car. I called Chatsworth Transmission and received a better explanation over the phone then I did at the 2 shops that claimed they diagnosed my car, It turns out my transmission was not the issue, it was a part that cost less than a $ 100. I’ve never met a mechanic so honest in my life, Al was fully aware of what the other 2 mechanics had said and could have taken advantage of the situation but didn’t. He even took the time to explain to me what to look out for in the future and what questions to ask. I told him that’s not necessary because he earned a loyal customer for life,
I will never go anywhere else…

I was referred to Al, the owner of ‘Chatsworth Transmission’, by a friend who had some work done by him. He exceeded my expectations. I was a little skeptical coming in, I expected they will raise the price at the end of the job. But to my surprise, they replaced the part I needed fairly quickly with very REASONABLE price. Al represents his company with utmost professionalism.
I highly recommend coming here if you need your car checked out. They’re great!

Ive been coming to Al’s Transmission for ten years now best PRICES in town AND fast service, even though he only does transmission’s he will also do other things you need to help you out!!! His LOYAL, TRUSTWORTHY, AND WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT’s wrong with your car. I wont go anywhere else cause I only trust him. His prices are CHEAP AND HE HAS GREAT SERVICE. TOO bad he doesn’t do paint jobs lol

Wonderful, wonderful! Al is a gem. He went to great lengths to make sure that my transmission was repaired correctly — he actually got me a brand new one — after a botched job 18 months ago AND wouldn’t return my car until he was sure that everything was in perfect running order. He’s also an extremely nice man, very accessible, and seems to have very nice people working for him. That’s a sign of a happy work environment.
I was ready to get rid of my car after the transmission repair because I thought it was falling apart, but Al convinced me otherwise, and for that I’m extra grateful. (I really love my car.)
Al, you have my trust and appreciation. I will refer anyone to you anytime they need transmission work. Thank you so very much!

My Acura needed transmission work a couple of years ago and Al took very good care of my car. I was expecting it to cost much more than it actually did. Then just a few weeks ago, my husband’s Honda hybrid broke down on the freeway. The transmission was shot. He got an estimate from a shop for over $ 2000 more than Al’s at Chatsworth Transmission. His car is running like a dream. We couldn’t be happier, and recommend Al to anyone who needs transmission work! Thanks Al for helping us stay car payment free!!!

I was introduced over a year ago and I they have services 5 of my vans for the past year. Honest, professional and they also work fast. Usually I get my car back the next day. Highly recommended, especially nowadays where most mechanics/​body shop are not trustworthy. I compared his prices and each times he ends up being the cheapest.

Very honest will diagnose the problem in minutes.
He is very busy because he is the best of what he does… You want to get the best you need to go to Al
Will recommend Chatsworth Transmission for any problem you have with your car.

I brought my 89 Benz here with a bad transmission. They quoted me a fair price to rebuild it. A couple weeks later, the bucket was running good as new. Okay, maybe not new because it’s an old bucket. But I don’t have to push the car in reverse anymore, so when it comes to the work done here, I couldn’t be happier! I’d definitely recommend them. Thanks, Al!

My 2005 VW needed transmission work, my mechanic referred me to C.T. And I am glad he did. I called Al and told him what had happened with my car, Al offered me to tow the car to his shop since I had no time to take it in, he had diagnosed the car and called me with full explanation, since I was borrowing my brother’s car I asked him to take care of my car asap, and his customer service was very pleasant he promised me that the car will be taken care of in 4 days, and it was I picked up my car driving with no problems. Thank you chatsworth transmission for the great work you have done, I will definitely be a returning customer.

I asked my freind for a reliable transmission shop around my area since tge one i went to last year was terrible, she gave me Al‘s number
I took the risk and called him talked about my car‘s issue and since my car was not drivable he offered to tow it to his shop for diagnoses
I took his offer and happy did so. Al explained me the problem i have with the transmission and explained what will he do to have it fixed and running so i left my 07 bmw with him, once the transmission was fixed Al called me to come and pick up the car. Al promissed me that my BMW will be ready in two weeks, and it was
At the time of pick up of my car Al gave me a one year warranty for his work, thanks to Chatsworth Transmission team my car is running like new
Thank you Al for your great work and great customer service

The guy won’t honor his own warranty
Transmission went bad after it was completely rebuild at this shop
What good does a warranty do if you can’t use it when needed
Very slow and unreliable service …
I will not use or recommend this place to no one

I had a tranny problem on my BMW 325i and looking for the right transmission shop is a big deal, I started calling for a quote and the range was so wide so you think. Who’s giving me the right quote? Until I found Chatsworth Transmission which gave me the best quote for the job. I went and checked the review first and read a couple of bad reviews on not getting your car as promised, costumer service etc. I call the shop again and spoke with Al and he seems pretty honest and sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. So I said to myself… I gonna take a gamble with this guy and see what happen. To a surprise, he did the job on time as promised. I did’nt write this review until now (waited for 2 months) to make sure that the tranny will not fall apart. So far so good, keep up the good work Mr. Al.

We were recommended by our regular mechanic, as our transmission had failed. We got there and all seemed well, though we ended up buying a used car in the meantime, because he was going to have our car for roughly three weeks, which was a little frustrating, but sure, we could deal. He gave us a pretty good deal on a rebuilt transmission, and you really get what you pay for with that.
We ended going back three separate occasions, and thank goodness for a warranty because each time the car was there, it was there for at least a couple weeks. I get that a rebuilt transmission is going to be a hit or miss kind of thing to put in your car in the first place, but the length of time it took for us to get the car serviced under the warranty was a bit on the ridiculous side. After the transmission failed a fourth time, we decided to get rid of the car, because at that point another three weeks in the shop just wasn’t worth it.

I have been a customer since 2013 when I had my fist car serviced. The owner Al was very kind and professional. He explained what was wrong and gave me all my options of repair.
I left feeling informed as well as satisfied. I have since taken 2 other cars and referred several people. If you are looking for honest quality work. Fair prices and exceptional customer care… LOOK NO FURTHER!

Al is always very knowledgeable, caring and helpful. My family and friends have all been going here for years to rebuilt our transmissions. We are all completely satisfied.

Al is the man! I brought him my 06 Audi A4 2.0t quattro
I had a previous mechanic destroy because he had no clue how to work it. No other mechanic would touch it for anything less than 3k up front. Al was a life saver. He told me he would check every piece of it and get it running for me. He did so. I wouldn’t have my car running if it wasn’t for Al. He also works on my mother e350 and my wife’s e350 Benzes and we all love him. Anybody who has something negative to say about Al probably just doesnt understand what a good mechanic is. He’s a busy man and his shop is as well you have to be ready for that when anything is great quality for an inexpensive price! Thanks Al!

I would give these guys 6 stars if I could! Great service, great prices.
I thought I was having transmission problems but as it turned out I just needed a complete service. They saved me on time and money!
They changed the transmission fluid and filter the right way by dropping the transmission pan. Installed a new filter then adding tranny fluid. Not the reverse fluid flush offered by those quick oil change places. That can actually do more harm than good because that way never gets all of the metal filings out of the transmission. My SUV runs very smooth now!
I was very happy with their serviced and felt well taken care of.
Nice to see old fashion service done right.
Thanks Chatsworth Transmissions!
