The Motto says it all about this company,

"Where Honesty and Integrity Still Matter". The best people, very friendly and HONEST, which is very rare today. If you think you are having a problem with your transmission, this is the place you need to take your car. Another big plus is that they didn't treat me like "a dumb blonde" when I came in and told them my trans was slipping, DO NOT GO ANY WHERE ELSE, why trust your car to someone you can't trust? You can trust Great State Transmission. The only thing is that they are NOT open on Saturday. BIG FIVE STARS TO DON AND TRACIE.......(Teri from Rockport, TX.)

The people at Greatstate Trans...

The people at Greatstate Transmissions were very fair with me. They looked at my t.fluids and drove my car and got the manager to come look and told me there was nothing wrong with my transmission. They recommended a look at the engine to find my power surging. I took it to the dealer and they ran a computer on it and found a bad coil. I would not have known any better and they could have charged me for their time but they didn't. I will always sing their praises.
