TOTAL IKE`S TRANSMISSIONS FAN!!!!

I am now a dedicated Ike`s fan!!! I was recommended to Ike`s by a friend of mine that doesn`t usually have the best taste when it comes to repair shops, but he definitely pointed me in the right direction when he told me to go to Ike`s. I was having issues with my tranny hitting really hard when I would put it into reverse & on the highway when I would punch on the gas to go from drive into overdrive. I made an appoi... view morentment & literally the afternoon that I showed up, my front right brakes started smoking like crazy! They asked me if I could leave it with them, so that they could look it over & let me know what they found, but I didn`t have a ride home. After talking with them about the situation, I knew it was probably best to leave it, so I mentioned where I lived & THEY DROVE ME HOME AT RUSH HOUR! ;D I just picked my truck up today & they greased the calipers of my 4x4 (no easy task), adjusted my throttle, & told me that later on down the line that I`d need to get my differential taken care of. The BEST part - they didn`t charge me for ANY of it! They just told me not to worry about the little things & to just come back about the differential. Seriously - I could NOT be HAPPIER about going to them! Plus, they don`t just work on tranny`s anymore - they do it all! So if you`re looking for a reputable mechanic shop that isn`t trying to pry your 1st born out of you, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!

You can feel comfortable with IKE and his guys

Very pleased with the personal service, Ike rode with me on the test drive. His technicians kept me informed and up to date on the repair through the whole process. We all shop and gather information from the web these days and it is our duty to our fellow consumers, neighbors and family to post honest truthful information. I can honestly say I have had nothing but favorable communication, advise and repair experien... view moreces from IKE and his team. They went above beyond to make my last transmission repair better than how it came from the factory, they researched and made extended effort to get replacement parts of better design and materials than original. I am still driving my 95 Mustang (pretty hard I might add) no leaks, no problems, no complaints. That is why I am posting this positive comment and why I`m taking in my Toyota Land Cruiser with OD transmission problems this week for IKE to fix. (No I don`t work @ IKE`s) Warmest Regards, TLG

Great experience!

I`m a single Mom. This is the only place in Austin to take your car...Had a "transmissions problem" that turned out not be a problem but a hose fell off. Ike`s didn`t charge me...just made a lifetime customer out of me! I was given a $2500 estimate down the street. These guys are great!

very satisfied with experience and work and the people

99` Ford Explorer with no reverse gear is in the shop. Will report on my experience. After online search and speaking with a few shops that do not rebuild transmissions onsite, settled on Ikes. Very positive Initial phone discussion on problem. Other shops very direct with not offering any knowledgeable advice, analysis, diagnoses or discussions period without pulling the transmission first. Ikes experience shar... view moreed was that it is probably a breakage in the reverse action shell and planatery assembly (no guarantees), fixed with new solenoids-seals-torqueconverter-etc for them to warranty it for 12mo/12k. Low end estimate at $1500. UPDATE - Kept up to date with work. Trust the final diagnosis and repairs. Good review of the failing components. Price reasonable. Few replacement parts checked and confirmed prices were at market. Even have complementary check-up in a few weeks. Very comfortable with giving this shop a solid recommendation and any future business.

Rare experience...

Recently my automatic transmission stopped working in all gears except 2nd. I made it home and made the usual checks. As a home mechanic I get to choose my battles and pulling the automatic transission out is not one of them! The real decision was to fix a vehicle I owned or sell it low, not working, and take on a car payment. Method used to select repair shop. The method I used was to seek recommendations fro... view morem people I trust who are unbiased and don`t know each other. Two of them recommended Ike`s Transmissions. Ike`s was fairly close to my place. Ike`s web site indicated the owner started small and built the business. I prefer this to the "franchise" approach where the owner may have bought into a business but may not have the investment in experience. I called Ike`s and my over the phone questions were answered, indicating each repair is dependent on analysis of what is broken and what else is at the end of it`s life. This ends up as a saving since certain components ar every expensive but may still be good. In addition, it means there is no thrid party transmission rebuilder in the loop. I was impressed that Ike`s also identified a leaking heater hose and crank-case plugs. These are not expensive items but are difficult access unless the transmission is removed. Thsi was attention to detail that I appreciated. I had these small items taken care of at the same time. I was able to visit Ike`s while the work was in progress and my questions were answered. The place was clean and it was busy...two positive items. Ike`s requested a 2 week follow-up check that indicated a further level of dedication to the job done right.

I`m local and I`m glad they`re local

Wow! What a relief. I just left Ike`s Transmissions on Anderson Lane. I thought I had a transmission problem and it was a solenoid problem... I took my car to two other places and then to Ike`s. He told me he would hate to give me a price over the phone and I thought it was another scam. When I got there, he took the car for a drive with me and then Joe, his floor guy, did a diagnosis. A big bill would have b... view moreeen a disaster! I`m so happy I found Ike`s. Go there if you are interested in honesty!

A winning team!

September 3, 2008 I had my car checked out at Ike`s Transmissions on Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas. I had been having continual shifting problems that led me to believe I had a big transmission bill coming my way. I had put off getting it looked at and was very apprehensive about any shop in the transmission business. A friend of mind at IBM suggested Ike`s as he had a good experience there. When I called Ike he... view more said he would not want to guess about what was wrong and asked if I would please bring it by for a road test. His manager, Joe, got involved in the process and come to find out what I thought would be a $3500 bill was a solenoid! What a break. Anyone else would have taken advantage of me, I`m sure. Austin has a winner when it comes to an honest shop at last!

Excellent care!

On August 4th I took my car into Ike`s Transmissions because a referral from a friend of mine. It`s hard to trust any shop these days and being a woman I`ve been taken advantage of before. Understanding the workings of a car is not my expertise! I spoke with the manager there and told him about my symptoms. I had taken the car to a nationally known shop and they quoted me $3852.00 to fix my car! Something told... view more it might be worth getting a second opinion. I asked around at work. I found two people, one whom I really trust, who had a good experience at Ike`s. They did not want to give me a quote on the phone. I was asked to bring the car by for a free check up and it wouldn`t cost anything for a drive to feel what I had been experiencing. A diagnostic test was taken and it turned out to be a solenoid (hope I`m spelling that right...). The final ticket was under $300. What a break! That a $3552.00 difference! Thank goodness there is still someone in Austin who`s honest. I hope everyone reading this will get the idea that Ike`s is a great place to take your car! I`ll be letting others know--

Questionable Business tactics

I have a friend who recently took his vehicle to Ike`s Transmission for what he thought might be a transmission problem. Ike sure enough told him that the transmission needed repair and $1,800 later the same problem still existed. When confronted, Ike said that it was a "communication" problem and blamed it on the customer. Apparently, the problem that existed that prompted my friend to take it into Ike`s in the firs... view moret place was a sparkplug and wiring issue, that was solved for about $50. Ike failed to mention that by replacing several parts in the transmission, which we are still not certain even needed to be replaced at all, the original problem would still exist. Buyer beware.

Best Transmission Shop In Austin!

Ike personally helped me, his employees and shop are impeccable. From my 67 impala to my 95 maxima, they did a great job and didn`t try to up-sale me. They also worked in a very fast time. Great.
