No price on this page — because your number depends on your vehicle and what's inside it. Here's the order of events instead: we look at it, you hear the price, then you decide. The estimate is free. Over 50 years of combined experience on transmissions and general auto repair, in Dickinson on Highway 3. Can't drive it? We tow, 24 hours.
Tap what's happening. You'll get what it usually means, whether it's safe to drive, and what we check when you bring it in. It's a starting point, not a diagnosis — and the estimate is free either way.
THE ESTIMATE IS FREE EVEN IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO FIX IT HERE
DON'T SEE IT? CALL (832) 561-1849 AND DESCRIBE THE NOISE
Pick your vehicle and what's happening. You'll get the likely area, whether it's safe to drive, and the list of what we check when it comes in. What you won't get is a price — a real one needs the car on the lift, and that estimate is free.
It changes what we look at first — an automatic points us at fluid, line pressure and solenoids, a manual at the clutch and the hydraulics that release it. If you don't know, say so on the call — we'll work it out as soon as we see the car.
A DRAGGING CLUTCH IS A MANUAL-TRANSMISSION SYMPTOM
Pick what the car is doing and you'll get the plain-language version: what it usually means, whether it's safe to drive, and what we check when it comes in. This is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Two cars with the same symptom can have two different problems inside them, and anyone quoting you a rebuild over the phone is guessing. Bring it in, we'll put it on the lift, and you'll hear the number before anything comes apart.

$0Transmission, engine, brakes, drive train — done in this shop, not sent out. Same-day when it's available. Your car sits in secure indoor storage, not on the street.
IN THE SHOPWe road-test it before we call you. When you pay, ask for the guarantee terms and make sure they're written on your work order.
ROAD TESTEDIn real life we just call you. This panel is a layout sample.
That's the shop's own wording, and we're leaving it exactly the way they say it. We're not printing a number of days or miles next to it, because the shop hasn't published one — and a made-up number is worth nothing to you. Ask for the terms when you get the estimate, and make sure they're written on your work order before you pay. That's the version you can actually hold someone to.
Bring it back to 3409 Hwy 3 in Dickinson, or call (832) 561-1849 first if that's easier. Bring your work order if you still have it — it makes the whole thing faster. If it can't be driven back, say so on the call: the tow truck runs 24 hours.
Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed is the shop's own promise. This is what we'd want it to mean in writing.
There are two ways out of a failed transmission and they are not the same job. An overhaul means your unit comes out, comes apart, and the worn parts get replaced — you keep your original transmission. A replacement means your unit comes out and a different one goes in. Which one your car needs depends on what's actually broken inside it, and that's not something anyone can tell you over the phone. We'll tell you which one you're looking at, and why, before anything comes apart.
| Transmission Overhaul | Transmission Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | Your unit comes out and comes apart. Worn parts get replaced, the rest gets inspected, and it goes back in. | Your unit comes out and a different one goes in. |
| When it makes sense | The case and the hard parts are still good. That's most of what we see. | The damage runs past what a rebuild fixes. |
| What you end up with | Your original transmission, rebuilt. | A replacement unit, installed and set up for your vehicle. |
| Time in the shop | Ask at drop-off. Parts availability decides a lot of it. | Ask at drop-off. |

Because a transmission price comes off your transmission. Two identical trucks come in with the same noise and leave with two different bills — one needed a solenoid, one needed the unit rebuilt. A shop that posts a number for that is either guessing or setting you up for a conversation you'll hate later. So here's what we publish instead: you get the estimate before any work starts, in person, and it costs you nothing. That's the part we can actually promise.
Two reviews, printed exactly as they were written — spelling, punctuation and all. We didn't tidy them up and we didn't write any others. SAMPLE LAYOUT The third card shows where the rest will sit once the shop sends them over.
REAL CUSTOMERS · UNEDITED
“This place is great they fixed my transmission on a tundra I had. They were referred to me from a mutual friend and I know now where to go for transmission work and other mechanical work”
“great job fixing my rear end problems car is running good shifting good and the vibration has eased”
“More reviews drop in here unchanged. We don’t write reviews and we don’t buy them, so this card stays empty until the shop sends real ones.”
One shop on Highway 3, between Houston and Galveston. The estimate is free, so you can stop in just to find out what's wrong.

(832) 561-1849Can't make those hours? Night drop is available — leave the car and the keys, write down what it's doing and how to reach you, and we'll get to it. Closed Sunday, but the tow truck still runs.
If it can't be driven, don't drive it. Call (832) 561-1849, tell us where the car is, and ask for the towing cost on that same call — we don't publish one on this page.

Including the ones nobody likes asking — what it costs, whether you're about to get taken for a ride, and whether you can make it home. Fifteen answers below.
We don’t publish a number, and we won’t invent one for you over the internet. A rebuild price depends on the vehicle, what failed inside it, and what parts it needs. What we can promise is the order of events: we look at it, we tell you the number, and then you decide. That estimate is free. Call (832) 561-1849 and tell us what the car is doing — you’ll get a straight answer about what has to happen next.
Yes. That’s the whole point of a free estimate. Nothing comes apart until you’ve heard what it costs and said go. If you don’t like the number, you take your keys and you owe nothing for the estimate.
Free Estimates is how this shop has always worked. We look at the car, tell you what we found, and give you the price. If you decide not to fix it here, that’s your call and there’s no charge for the look.
Nobody can answer that from a phone call, and be careful with anyone who tries. An overhaul rebuilds your original unit; a replacement puts a different unit in. Which one you need depends on the condition of the case and the hard parts inside. We’ll tell you which one your car is looking at, and why, before any work starts.
Yes — night drop is available. Leave the car and the keys, tell us on the message what it’s doing and how to reach you, and we’ll get to it. Shop hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to noon.
We run 24-hour emergency towing. Call (832) 561-1849 any hour and tell us where you are. We don’t publish a towing price on this page, so ask on the call and you’ll get the number before the truck rolls.
Depends on the symptom, and the checker further up this page will tell you what we’d say. Short version: a burning smell, a hard grind, or a transmission that won’t shift means stop driving and call for a tow. A small leak or a Check Engine light usually means drive it here gently, soon. On a transmission, the miles you put on a bad one are what turn a repair into a rebuild.
Financing is available with approved credit (W.A.C.). We’re not going to print terms, rates or a lender on this page — ask when you get the estimate and you’ll get the real answer for your situation.
Yes. All makes and models, including diesel. Tell us what you’re driving when you call.
No. Transmissions are what the shop is known for, but the list on this page runs from computer diagnostics and drivability problems through engine service, tune-ups, oil changes, brakes, steering and suspension, exhaust, drive train, electrical and hybrid electrical, heating and cooling, air bags and passenger restraints. If it’s mechanical, ask.

The shop’s own words are “100% guarantee on all of our work.” We’re not going to print a number of days or miles next to that, because the shop hasn’t published one and we’d rather not put words in the owner’s mouth. Ask for the terms when you get the estimate and make sure they’re written on your work order before you pay.
Same-day service when it’s available, and quick turnaround is what the shop aims for — but a real answer needs the car in front of us. Parts availability decides a lot of it. Ask at drop-off and you’ll get an honest window instead of a number designed to make you say yes.
Call first if you can — (832) 561-1849. It lets us tell you whether to drive it in, drop it at night, or wait for the tow truck. Walking in during shop hours works too.
3409 Hwy 3, Dickinson, TX 77539. Customers drive in from Houston, Dickinson, Friendswood, League City, Pasadena, Webster, Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City and La Porte. Broken down somewhere in that range? Call and we’ll tell you straight whether we can get a truck to you.
Same shop, same free estimate. These are the mechanical systems we work on when the problem isn't the transmission.
Call during shop hours and you'll talk to someone who has heard your symptom before. After hours, use the night drop. If it can't be driven, the tow truck runs 24 hours.
