When you take your car to Ralph's, you know it's always in the best of hands. When local transmission industry veterans, Mario & Maria Jauregui, purchased the shop, they were drawn to its strong local roots.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Very professional and respectful. I called them Monday as I was literally dropping my truck off to a different shop & the way (Bri I think was her name) carried herself over the phone just made me feel at ease, like I had trust in them and that my truck was going to be in good hands. I had never met them nor am I from Modesto. She told me I could bring it in right then and there & offered free towing. BOOOOY DID THEY DELIVER EXCELLENT SERVICE! She kept in contact with me everyday and by Wednesday my truck was ready for pick up☺️ I’m so thankful for all they did. I will be sending everyone I know to this shop as well as continuing my transmission services through them, even if I have to drive to Modesto ☺️ I honestly can’t say enough how satisfied I am with Ralph’s transmission.

From the first phone call to picking up our vehicle, dealing with Ralph's was a complete pleasure. They took a very stressful situation and made it into a positive experience. Bree and Eva were so sweet and explained everything to me in great detail. I can't thank you enough. We just picked up the car and so far so good. Thank you again! If you are in need of transmission repairs or replacement, do yourself a favor and call Ralph's!

Mario and family are great. There friendly and professional. They make you feel like family. Took my car in and they had it diagnosed and told me how much it would cost and when it would be ready. Great service. Car is going down the road fantastic. Thank you very much.

Price is high but it’s worth the money also I know I could’ve got it cheaper somewhere else but last time another shop did the job they cut off my exhaust and welded it crappy back together. They did a fantastic job on my Suburban just came back from a 1400 mile round trip from WA and ran perfect and the girls there are really knowledgeable. Will definitely come back to get it serviced and hopefully not another transmission down the road but if I do I’d definitely come back to them.

Super clean shop, quick appointment, and friendly staff. Scheduled a routine transmission and 4x4 differential service. I saved over half of what I was quoted by the Chevy dealer. Really nice ladies up front offered to call an Uber for me. I nicely declined, and my dog and I did the 3-mile walk home. We stopped for sniff breaks and got great random photos of Modesto.

Ralph’s transmission is the best! The office staff ladies are the top notch. Knowledgable, patient and helpful best describes my time dealing with my transmission concern. Their diagnosis was spot on, fix was quick and my truck is shifting great again. Thanks Ralph!!

I highly recommend Ralph's to solve your transmission service needs. My van drives better than ever. Ralph's Transmission gave me the best possible attention and service money can buy. My transmission burned up driving up a mountain. Three other mechanics wouldn’t touch my transmission. I believe that transmission building and repair is the brain surgery of the automotive world. This might sound hard to believe but I had my van towed 100 miles just so Ralph’s could handle the repair. Ralph’s backs their transmission with a 3-year warranty, which made me feel a lot better. I asked them a lot of questions. A LOT! This was .a huge investment for me, and I only want to do it ONCE. Since I depend on my vehicle for my business, I needed a compete and lasting solution. If I was to spend the money to repair it, I needed it done right and I needed a SUPER-DUTY transmission. Mario and the entire staff explained in detail what I needed to properly repair my transmission. They were even able to diagnose the cause of the failure. They completely rebuilt my transmission instead of slapping Band-Aid on the problem. They communicated with me about the type of parts going into my transmission and they guided me into making decisions about using heavy-duty parts. I’ll update my post with anything new. Bonus: The Taco truck at Ralph’s makes delicious food.
