Chapter 04 · Honest pricing

Prices in plain English. Before you say yes.

Real ranges. Real dealer comparisons. A real receipt from last Tuesday.

Fig. 04.1 · The ranges

What you'll actually pay.

Every row below is a real range, not a starting-at teaser. Diagnostics are free when you drop it off. You pay when I start ordering parts. Your number lands in this range unless I find something worse on teardown, and if I do, I call you before I do anything.

▸ Dealer numbers pulled from real customer quotes in our Google reviews.

Final number depends on the parts your specific year-make-model needs. I confirm parts cost with you before ordering. No surprises at pickup.

The no-upsell pledge

If your transmission doesn't need rebuilt, I'll tell you. I sent three people home last month with a $180 fix instead of a $4,000 rebuild.

I can't say enough good things about this place! My car's transmission was giving me major headaches, slipping gears and making all sorts of awful noises. I was expecting a huge bill and a long wait, but these guys were amazing.

Fig. 04 · Financing

Need to spread it out?

A rebuild hits hard at once. I get it. Most customers finance through Snap Finance or Koalafi. They approve almost everybody, including rough credit. You apply on your phone while I'm tearing it down, get an answer in minutes, and pick a plan that works.

Step 01

Apply from your phone

Fill out a short form on your phone while I tear down your transmission. Soft credit check. Doesn't hurt your score.

Step 02

Get an answer in minutes

Approvals up to around $5,000 for most customers. Even if your credit's rough, they work with people the big banks won't.

Step 03

Drive out, pay monthly

Pick a 3, 6, or 12-month plan that fits. Truck's back in your driveway that week. Payments stretch out behind it.
