Installed rear drums incorrectly. Lost my hub caps and overall bad experience. Use J and J next door. Better customer service and probably better expertise. Will not use again.

The guys at Chester Trans really took good care of me. When my car started having trouble, I thought it was gonna cost an arm and a leg. These guys went the extra mile explaining that was wrong and actually showed me the parts. After everything, my bill was lower than expected. I have had mechanics in the past that tried to pad the bill and tell me to make unnecessary repairs. Not these guys. These guys were great!!

We where up in the PA area for business and our work truck starting having major issues. The closest place that we could talk with someone was Ed at Chester Transmission. He was very helpful as well made us feel he was being honest (he never stopped looking at you in the eyes while talking.) We had Chester Transmission fixed truck and it has been a month now and no problems. When we got home to Texas we talked with our mechanic and he said the price we received was very fair. If you want to ask someone about your vehicle and will give you honest answer ask for Ed.

ive bin going there since 1997 I have been very happy with there work trans and general repair they are very honest.

Chester Trans. is getting a bad rap it seems,I had my vehicles there before with no problems after.The problem might be once in awhile Chester Trans. will get auto parts from Church's in Ridley,Church's buys the cheapest parts and often things are defective out of the factory.

I had to bring my car back there three times. This shop is a joke. Now they told me the warranty is over I pay over $ 2500 for nothing.

I recently had got my transmission rebuild but was still noticing problems with the gear shift and the car dragging when i go uphill. then i also got my hub bearings replaced and the guy told me my sway bars needed to be replaced. Prior to that i never noticed any issues with the sway bars. after i picked my car up i started to notice when i got on the highway my tires shook very badly which never happened before. i took the car back and now he told me my passenger tire rod needed to be replaced but never mentioned i would need a steering alignment afterwards. i picked my car up and noticed that my steering wheel was to the left almost half way. i called the shop and he said oh that will be an additional 80$ but my i don't understand why it wasn't done at once and included in the price. so i called around and got a second opinion from 7 different places and they all said that he should have definitely mentioned it would need a steering alignment because know that my steering is off it becomes a safety issue while driving. This is just crazy and the fact that they did me so wrong after i spent over a thousand $ so know my only other option is to sue because i feel like he put me and my daughters life in jeopardy after i explained to him i use the highway alot and he totally disregarded that.

Find another reputable place to service your transmission. I'll be taking my car back to Chester Transmissions for what will be my fourth visit in 14 months. Initially i took my Pontiac Grand Prix because the transmission stalled. My car wouldn't go forward or reverse. A co-worker recommended CT, so I had my car towed there. They charged me $1800 and this amount was non-negotiable. I picked my vehicle up when the repairs was done and about 5 months later I noticed that my transmission was slipping. I took my vehicle back to CT and the service worker told me my transmission fluid leaked out because he failed to change the transmission gasket. I told him it didn't make since to drop a transmission to rebuild it and not change the gasket(s). According to him he fixed it. In december 2012 on the same day my 14 month warranty would expire, I brought my vehicle in to CT again because of the same problem, a slipping transmission. This time the service guy told me it was due to a different gasket that needed replacement that he never replaced. I picked my vehicle up on 1/5/13 to notice that my steering and suspension doesn't seem right. I'm not certain what the problem is butI will be back at Chester Transmission bright and early on Monday very disgruntled. Chester Transmission, Not a good place to take your car.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. IMHO DISHONEST AND POOR WORKMANSHIP.
