I was a little stressed out because I was having issues with the transmission on my 2019 Jeep Compass. I found Father and Son Transmissions online and decided to call them, based on all of the positive reviews on Yelp and Google. They provided me with a lot of detail over the phone about the options that I had as far as repair. Their technicians were able to properly diagnose the issue with my vehicle and confirmed that my transmission had to be rebuilt. The price was very competitive, and they completed the job ahead of schedule! They provided me with excellent customer service, at a very competitive price. Definitely satisfied with their service! So happy that my vehicle is back up and running!

Angel and his father are friendly and nice to work with, fair prices and exceptional service. They used quality parts to change my clutch on a 95 accord 👌🏽

This shop has been good to me, when I first pulled in they checked my truck test drove it and pulled codes, they notified me there was engine codes and recommended I fix those before I fix the transmission (because it would suck to pay to rebuild and it still had issues) after fixing the engine issues it still had slipping and hard shifting issues so I took it back and Angel recommended a rebuild and explained everything straight forward with more than enough detail about the process. It took about a week for them to fix it and drove just fine off the lot. I was happy with Angels quick response and updates as the build was being done. He also had his technicians stay late to accommodate my busy schedule, he was more than helpful. About 5,000 miles later I felt the transmission hard shifting into first, I called Angel and he stood late just to check out the issue! Angel and his father took my truck for a ride, checked the codes nothing came back and they said it was probably the engine intake valve, sometimes the butterfly valve gets dirty or just goes bad (in silverados), they took it apart quickly and clean it up, this was an engine problem and he still went out of his way to help me out After a busy day of work I was more than grateful that he was more than accommodating. He told me if I had anymore issues to let him know and keep Him updated if the problem arises again because I'll probably have to have the intake replaced and programed. Angel is busy but tries his best to accommodate when he can, they do good work.

I needed a rear main seal replacement on my civic so I thought since this place specializes in transmission removals that it would be the perfect place. I called Angel and he told me that due to the holidays they were busy and to call him a week later, I thought that was understandable and so I waited a week and called him again on the date specified, he told me again that they were very busy and to call him once again on Friday the next week, so I did but my call went straight to voice mail twice on a business day in the afternoon, so I left a voice message with my name a number. I got a weird gut feeling that he was just avoiding my main number, so I called using my Google number and sure enough he picked up, I clicked on him, he then proceeded to return that call on my Google number which I never answered. He never called me on my main number that I left a voice message with, he was obviously avoiding the job on my car for whatever reason which is fine but don't give me the run around for two weeks that I wasted waiting, I could have had my car fixed already. Just say you can't do the job because it's not worth it for you or that you're way too busy and I'll understand, this was such a waste of my time, all the comments here about the quality of work might be true but he's not really upfront.

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Fathers and Sons Transmission Service! They did a fantastic job rebuilding my 2017 Silverado's transmission, which gave out surprisingly at only 60,000 miles. It's been a couple of months since the rebuild, and I'm blown away by how well my truck is running - even better than before! The best part? The price was significantly lower than what the dealership quoted me. Special shoutout to Angel and his team, who was incredibly informative and kept me updated on the status of my truck throughout the entire process. I'm extremely happy with the repair and highly recommend Fathers and Sons Transmission Service to anyone in need of transmission work. They truly exceeded my expectations!

If I could give 6 stars I would. It’s hard nowadays to find a shop you can trust to do quality work, be honest and keep you updated on what’s going on. My jeep is a problem child, always has been so I’m always careful about choosing who I ask to do work that I can’t do myself: in this case I’ve been having transmission related headaches for over a year, been to different shops, spent thousands of dollars on parts and labor that I probably didn’t need to if I’d come here sooner. Angel and his crew know what they are doing, not only did they fix my transmission issues but they even fixed the suspension! They noticed some control arm bolts were so loose they weren’t even able to be tightened anyone - so they did what you yourself would do if you noticed it - they fixed it, even thought it wasn’t a part of the work my jeep was there for. The damn thing drives better than what I dropped it off, I might end up keeping it. Thanks Father & Son Transmission. Top notch all the way. Don’t hesitate to take your car there.

The transmission on my 2017 Suburban was starting to slip. I had over 93K miles on it and I didn’t want it to get worst. I reached it to a few shots and found Father and Son Transmissions in Whittier. I spoke with Alex and he explained they were backed up and I couldn’t get the truck in immediately but they got me in as soon as they could. After speaking with Alex and having them inspect my Suburban he explained in detail what they found and the plan to get it fixed. I was pleased with how well he explained the problem, and how they were going to remedy the issue. They had my truck ready before the expected time and was very pleased on how well the service was with Father and Son Transmission. They seem to hold themselves to a high standard and care for their customers. They treated me with the utmost respect and delivered a superb service. After a few thousand miles, and a couple of road trips later I must say that my Suburban feels like it came off the factory floor. The gears change smoothly, obviously no slipping and I’m worry free about any mechanical issues. Thank You Alex and your team for such an awesome experience.

I blew out my transmission on my 1998 Chevy Explorer Van in February 2024. I knew it was going to be expensive and probably take forever to get my van fixed. I went on Google and found Father and Son. I spoke to Angel...he told me exactly what parts they would replace and assured me they could fix my van. He gave me a fair price and it did not change. I rarely give feedback on any service, but this time it is well deserved. Angel and his crew are professionals! They repaired my van in ONE Week! What I appreciate most of this whole experience is the level of integrity I experienced with Father and Son. No hidden fees, no excuses, and completed on time. BTW...my van runs great!
