Thrilled to find this Shop!

Finally! Experienced mechanics who are honest, forthright, professional and warranty their services. Service consultant , Nick, did a great job communicating . They towed my vehicle 100 miles at no charge and found the hidden issues of my truck after the dealership wanted to replace my transmission. This shop saved me thousands of dollars! My truck is fixed and safe to drive.

Where to go for engine or transmission repairs…

So many service places don't do what they promise and you (and I) end up paying much more then we should, but also waiting for our vehicle to be returned. I cannot say what the long term effects of my transmission will be but here are the facts to date.
First I visited several places that could not determine what the problem was. I also visited a dealer that did $1246 of work and fixed NOTHING! Not so Engine and Transmission Center of Clearwater. They fixed my truck for the price they gave me. The results were simply amazing. Five star recommendation!!! Nick Everly was fair, informative and polite but also CORRECT. I was told my vehicle would be like a different deal and it is true. My recommendation is this IS the place to go. Oh, and by the way. After the dealer did not fix the problem, they finally decided it was the transmission and wanted $5800 to fix it. Hey, everybody these guys fixed it for half that and they did it fast (I was lucky, they had an off-the-shelf rebuilt transmission and they did the swap). I could not be happier. This is the place where you need to go if your vehicle's engine or transmission needs repairs.

GREAT AND APPROPRIATE SERVICE

I AM A "SNOWBIRD" AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY FRIENDS TO ADVISE ME ABOUT SERVICE FOR MY AUTOMOBILE. I WENT ON THE "INTERET" AND RECEIVED A CALL "TODD"..I TOOK MY CAR FOR A "FREE ESTIMATE" FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW PLEASED I AM ABOUT THE ESTIMATE AND REPAIR WORK THAT WAS DONE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT...THE ACTUAL COST WAS LESS THAN THE ESTIMATE...WHICH WAS A VERY FAIR AMOUNT FOR THE REPAIR I NEEDED.."HIGHLY RECOMMEND" THIS SERVICE GARAGE...JOHN MICETICH

Tod is very helpful

I was having problems with my transmission tod told me I needed a rebuild I'm young so my father thought that he ripped me off with the price and didn't think the guys was going to actually rebuild it so I went to make a payment they had already removed my transmission showed me my old parts and explained what they did proving my father to be wrong they did a complete rebuild and gave me an awesome warranty very honest and the work is authentic I would recommend this shop to every one tod is the man!

You've got to check these guys out...

I haven't brought my car or truck anywhere else since I first started coming here. Todd Nurenberg IS the man. Talk to him first and he takes care of the rest. They've consistently come in under estimate both in price and time...down to earth...No BS...straight up get it in, get it fixed. If you need work done, you've got to check these guys out plain and simple.
