You don't have to take our word for it! Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Cincinnati Transmission Specialists:
This place is amazing! I had a part that needed replaced and the manufacturer and aftermarket companies discontinued the part. The shop worked with me to source a machine shop that made a beefier version. Long story short, it took 1 year for the part to be made and Cincinnati Transmission was super professional about the ordeal. The installation was top notch. I recommend these guys to anybody!
Bryan Van Buren

Mike Mullenix
We all know its hard to find a good mechanic shop. Cincinnati Transmission Specialists is one of those good ones. This is where Ill be taking my car/s anytime in the future. I trust them. I've had my transmission replaced 2 years ago and its running great. Recently had some issues braking where the steering wheel would shake. They were able to diagnose it and resolve the issue. They are more than willing to talk to you, answer any questions and explain the situation to you.

Great professional service! Cincinnati Transmission Specialists were able to find me a transmission and install it, to the modifications on my old F150 truck. Goldie runs great! Thank you Cincinnati Transmission Specialists!
Dionne Davis
Our 2001 Volvo V70 XC was having transmission challenges. The automatic transmission was "catching" in 3rd gear. I found Cincinnati Transmission through the Christian Blue pages. Called and spoke initially with Heather. I was truly impressed with her customer skills. She was thorough and polite. First impressions are important and Heather made a tremendous first impression. Unfortunately, I was hoping for a quick fix. Rick was the bearer of the bad news that the transmission could not be fixed. He did say he would look for a rebuilt or used transmission if I wanted to go that direction. Praise the Lord he was able to find a used transmission. When asked, he gave a honest answer about what he would do and we have decided to trust Rick and Cincinnati Transmission to get our 23 year old car back on the road!
Mark Healy
Heather is the female I talked to on the phone. They seem very very nice and helpful with everything going on with my vehicle.
Charles
Heather was professional, amicable and informative on all levels.
Zachary Hinkle
Rick has treated us like family and runs an up front and honest business. Heather at the front desk is super helpful, too. We have trusted Cinci Transmission for about 10 years for every car issue and never looked back! I won't go anywhere else.
Mark Chapin
Excellent service for my family's vehicle!
Dow Smith
I spoke with Heather and she was very helpful with great customer service
Lamont Foster
Heather was very friendly as were others when I first brought the vehicle. They explained everything very well even for a novice.
Elgincard11@gmail.com Kkjj
Happy with service, They fixed my windows as they would work (power) and they found my door lock wasn't working and fixed that also. Heather was friendly and helpful. The only downside is the time it takes, and that's on me. I didn't have an appointment so had to wait, but it was well worth it knowing everything was checked. I will be back, hopefully, with an appointment . Thanks Cincinnati Transmission. Job well done.
Jan Washburn
We enjoy having our vehicles serviced here at Cincinnati Transmission Specialist. We continue to come back with our vehicles because of the professionalism of the staff, quick and thorough service times, and the convenience of the location. I would recommend them, 10/10!!!
Rich Albrecht @ ThompsonEquipment&Supply
Great customer service and quality and effective repairs. Will definitely use again.

I was very impressed with the knowledge of the owner Rick and how professional, but down to earth he is. He truly takes the time to make sure his customers understand what is needed and provides options for all budgets.

Robert Schooler

Michael Finn
Heather was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. It is always a pleasure talking to Josh regarding the necessary repairs on my two vehicles. I highly recommend Cincinnati Transmission Services.
Lisa Leung
Rick and his team of automotive professionals went above and beyond when we used their services for a repair on our Ford escape. They were competitively priced, provided excellent customer service (especially the ladies in the office!!), and they were honest and upfront throughout the entire process!
Carolyn Schooler
I have been a customer for years and I'm always satisfied with Cincinnati Transmission Specialist's service. I'm pleased with the time it's taken to repair my vehicles and I appreciate the transparency through the repair process. I have, and will continue, to recommend this company to friends and family!
Hannah Stacy
Heather good work
Steve Peaks
As a company that specializes in transportation, that has a CEO that is also a diesel mechanic, We cannot say enough, good things about the experiences we have for our non-CDL fleet vehicles. Rick and his team of professionals go above and beyond our expectations for every service. We recommend them to everyone that is ever in need of a mechanic. We go nowhere else and we know that we get what we pay for! The quality is always above and beyond, along with the customer service. Trin and Heather are stellar at communicating and are so friendly when we have had to wait for different services in their CLEAN and COMFORTABLE waiting areas! 10/10!
D & H Trucking & Excavating

Great communication and fair pricing
Dylan Vogt
I've been a loyal customer of Cincinnati Transmission specialist for years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Whether it's a routine maintenance check or a complex transmission issue, their team always delivers top-notch service with professionalism and care. One of the things that sets them apart is their deep knowledge and expertise. They take the time to explain the problem in detail, offer honest recommendations, and never push unnecessary repairs. I've always felt confident leaving my car in their hands, knowing it'll be fixed the right way the first time.
Alex Stacy
I brought my first car to this shop in 2007 and have continued to bring every vehicle I've ever owned here. My kids who are now grown, also bring their cars here. The reason why is simple. They are honest and straightforward. They repair only what needs repairing. Their pricing is fair and competitive. Your repeat business is important to them and they respect your time. In my book, finding a reliable mechanic shop ranks up there with finding a good doctor. Rick and his team are like family and I trust them to do right by me and any vehicle I bring to them.
christine d.
Fast reliable service!!
AG Pest Control
All my vehicles come here for service. Fantastic and honest people. Never hide any costs and are always upfront and honest. I'd give them 10 stars if that was an option! They are the simply the best
Heath Coppenger
Great communication and service! I was told by another shop that I had a leaking rear main seal on my older F150. I thought I was facing the unpleasant task of shopping for another vehicle. Cincinnati Transmission Specialists got me in for a second opinion. The issue was just an oil pan gasket leak. I was so relieved and appreciated the honest evaluation. They replaced my oil pan gasket and even told me to stop by after a couple of weeks for them to take a quick look to make sure there were no other leaks. Highly recommend them!
Charlotte Mayer
We are so glad someone told us about Cincinnati Transmission Specialists. They helped us through a nightmare of a situation caused by a dealership service department. Their help earned our trust and respect. This is the only place we feel comfortable taking our cars for service.
Becky Stricker
10/10 I had good service, happy with the job they did on my car
Banta Tangikora
These guys are a pleasure to do business with! Honest and polite. Josh is always ready to take time out of his day to just have a chat with the customers. So glad this business was recommended to me
sue packard
It's refreshing to have a business alternative to the dealerships for great service experience. Josh is always professional and greets you with a smile. The whole gang are honest and always upfront with the services they provide.
Kon Belieu
Highly endorse Cincinnati Transmission for 15+ years of "Stellar Auto Services"! What an incredible journey and great memories that will last a life time. Want to give a special thanks to Josh Fenn for consistently making all my service visits memorable and making me laugh... Waiting areas are always clean and scented with great oils.. FYI- Cincinnati Transmission will never charge you for unnecessary automotive services.
Michelle Fulgham
My mechanic recommended Cincinnati Transmission Specialists when I told him there was a problem in the transmission going from first gear to second gear. They did a diagnostic, test drove it, and looked over the vehicle very thoroughly. They noticed that the transmission line was leaking pretty badly. I got the leak fixed and the problem went away. They could have told me the transmission needed repaired, but they didn't. They could have told me the transmission needed to be replaced, but they didn't. It cost me $99 instead of over $7,000 for a remanufactured transmission. I think that says it all, and I'll definitely return to them when I need anything else. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Dan Gierse
Cincinnati Transmission Specialists and Sharon Woods Auto Care are the best vehicle repair place we've ever used. Over the past several years they have fixed both our cars and done an amazing job. The service is fast, communication is great and Josh is super helpful. We won't go anywhere else.
Karen Serena
Best experience ever! Done in one day! God's been so good to me for showing us this place! Amazing! Thanks so very much!
rhonda hutchison
I was referred to Cincinnati Transmission by several friends that had been here before. To say the least my service was just blame above and beyond my expectations. I was shocked by the personal service and happy to see family owned businesses still in existence. The owner Rick talked me through the pros and cons of the services which was so very much appreciated and something you just don't get in this industry. I will be back!!! Highly recommended transmission service if needed.
Raynell Adams
I have had work done here for years and would not go anywhere else.
Tim
Top quality work at a fair price. Impressed that they take the time to thoroughly test drive the car after they do the work to make sure it was done correctly. Recommend them highly.
Jerry Mussari
Customer service is excellent, 5 stars. Josh was great to deal with from scheduling my appointment to picking up and payment. I have used this shop for years and they have always treated me fair and with respect. Thanks Josh and Rick.
Jim Murphy
Been coming here for several years. Always satisfied with the service and professionalism. Josh was helpful and contacts before additional work is done. Highly recommend them.
Jeff Gauger
Great guys very well knowledgeable individuals and Fenn is a great guy and good at what he does also. Wouldn't go anywhere else to have my vehicles serviced
Jeremiah White
Josh was friendly and nice. Very helpful!
Oscar Sandy
My local shop closed-owner recommended Cincinnati Transmission. From my first call to set up an appointment, to picking up my vehicle, Cincinnati Transmission and Josh were outstanding. They do a great diagnostic and then are up front and transparent about what needs attention now and what to think about in the future. Josh, thank you for all of your help. Looking forward to working with your shop in the future.
Mike Bockhorst
We love Cinci Trans! We've been talking our vehicles there for many years. We love Rick and his competent staff. Josh is one of our favorites! He is very thorough and explains everything that needs to be done. We would recommend Cinci Transmission to everyone!
Nancy Hudson
Thanks Josh for always taking care of me. I get an estimate, a fair price, competent professional service and great interaction.
Jerlian Jones
Josh great people with great customer service it's hard to find places that's honest and not just trying to run the check up I would recommend them to anyone!!!!!
Skinny Black
This is my go to mechanic for any repair. This place is awesome from ownership all the way to mechanics! They do one rare thing you don't find anymore?. They only fix what needs fixed and do it for a fair price. Hmmm remember when that was the norm? They still do it! Josh is always great at communicating with you from check in to check out. Highly recommend this place for all car repairs! I'm a lifelong customer!
Kevin Englehart
Josh was awesome! He was so helpful and knowledgeable. He explained all issues and even walked me through how it was gonna work to fix!!!
Austin Brummett
We use Cincinnati for our Fleet mechanics. They always have us in and out of the shop with a smile. Josh is always friendly and always greats you with a smile at the front door. Highly recommended!
Bill Brummett
They fixed my brakes under their own warranty! I was surprised and thankful! Josh was delightful and made me feel like he heard what I was saying and wasn't trying to double talk me. Good place to go for honest repair work.
Candy Hart
My most recent repair was taken care of by Josh and involved replacing injector wiring chewed up by squirrels. I have been taking all my vehicles to the Sharonville location for probably about 20 years and would not think of going anywhere else. Finding people in the auto care business that you can 100% of the time know that they can find the problem and make only the repairs that are required is like finding gold. Add to that their very reasonable costs and commitment to excellent customer service you have a combination that is nearly impossible to beat.
Steven Burgess
The experience here could never have been any easier. We were treated with professionalism and respect. They are very knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone.
Mark Smith
This is an awesome garage that is totally focused on the customer experience. I trust them with my classic cars as well as my everyday drivers. You will not find a more honest place to take your car.
Nick Pacak
My grandparents and my mother always went here when I grew up as a kid. For years and years my family trusted this place. Two and a half years ago I got my first car. I have always taken my car here and will never take it anywhere else. The service is outstanding. Any time I have had a problem with the car it has been resolved. My oil changes, wheel bearings, brakes, and tire rotations always make my ride smooth. Every time I pull out my car feels like it did when I first got it. I want to thank Josh. He has always been a pleasure to talk too and I sincerely trust his word and expertise and he has always pointed me in the right direction to help maintain my livlihood and my car.
Billy Wasson
7/9/24 I just want to give a shout out for Josh at Sharon Woods Auto Care. He is so attentive and helpful. I can drive in there anytime with a small concern - like a questionable light being on, or a tire looking a little low, and he checks it to reassure that I'm safe and good to go. If he thinks it's something more serious, he tells me so and we set an appointment. I've been going to Sharon Woods Auto Care for years and years, even before my husband died 15 years ago. Their pricing is reasonable, and they take such good care of me. I know practically nothing about automobiles, so I trust them wholeheartedly with my car and turn it completely over to them. It's getting quite old, but they've kept it in good shape and running smoothly. Rick, the owner, and everyone there is so nice. I won't go anywhere else! They definitely get 5 STARS from me! Sue Byrnes
Sue Byrnes
A local auto repair shop highly recommended Cincinnati Transmission Specialist as the place to go to get a second opinion on transmission repair. After inspecting my Camry, it was determined that the steering wheel pump that was installed by another auto repair was defective, and it was not the transmission. I appreciate the honestly. While I was there, I had CTS replace the front stabilizer links, which only took a matter of hours to complete. I highly recommend CTS if you are looking for accurate diagnostic and fair pricing on auto repairs.
Joyce Evans
CTS provided excellent service for a rather unusual AC situation. They found the problem and fixed it very quickly. They were very fair with the price, professional and courteous. We will definately be going back for any future work.
Elaine Barrick
Update 6/28/24:
Highly recommended! Rick and his mechanics took a highly stressful situation of our seized Hyundai engine and made it completely comfortable to my wife in I with replacing with brand new redesigned engine with warranty! They towed out Hyundai from Fairfield Hyundai who would not cover our 100,000 warranty. They work was completed within 2 weeks and car is like a brand new one! Definitely earned our business for the future in all our automotive needs! Thanks
Rick was most helpful in taking an already stressful time of replacing our seized Hyundai Sonata engine that Hyundai if Fairfield would not honor 100,000 mile warranty. They towed our car and replaced with new rebuilt engine all within 2 weeks. Car is like new again! I highly recommend Cincinnati Transmission's for all your automotive needs!Brian Brelsford
Traveled in from out of town to visit family. Transmission failed 1 mile from destination. Rick, understanding the situation, prioritized my repair. Had a new Transmission with warranty and back on the road in under 48 hours. Quality work, fair price, outstanding service. Thank you CTS and Rick! Grateful!!!
kip crumrine
Rick and his team were absolutely stellar. A quick diagnosis that stumped three shops before them proved that I was in the right spot. The fact that they are family owned and has been built from the ground up to the successful business that they are today, is even more impressive. If you are looking for professionalism and honesty, in an industry where we as women often are worried that we are being taken advantage of, Rick ensures That you have all pieces of information and are able to have the reassurance that you are getting value for the money being spent, which is absolutely competitively priced! We will absolutely go nowhere else ever again for our maintenance!!!
Heather Smith
Rick is a gem in a world full of mechanics. His expertise on complicated repairs is invaluable and unmatched. His transparency and honesty steadied me through a very costly decision. I feel confident I made the right decision to get my car repaired by Cincinnati Transmission Specialists, and I now will look no where else when in need of a mechanic.
Torey
My mom took her car here this week. They were very honest and upfront. The customer service was top tier and they don't try to nickle and dime you! She will be a return customer and I 100% recommend Cincinnati Transmission Specialists
jamie hardy

Phyllis Blankenship

Connie Sumner
The team at Cincinnati Transmission Specialist were very professional and thorough on diagnosing my issue with my car. I highly recommend this team of experts. They were kind, curious and prompt with relaying any information.
Dawn Gray
They were very quick about getting my transmission replaced. Rick was very informative, kept me in the loop, and didn't talk to me like I was dumb because I'm a woman.
Taylor Swinehart
This is the best Place to go for any auto issues. I have been coming here for 12 years. Every time is an excellent experience in time, parts, & especially service. Most recently, I was driving home when there was a problem with the battery or so I thought. I decided to drive to the garage for help. Since it was not a planned appointment, I had the pet dog with me. Did I mention it is pouring down rain? There was no choice to be outside. So there we sat in the garage office waiting to hear the results of the problem. An hour later, the manager said that someone will drive us home. I was very grateful for the car service as well as the drive home. By closing time my car was ready for me pickup. I am very grateful for the quality of work, and service when I go here. They get 5 stars! Thank you so much. I will always call Cincinnati Transmission for all my car needs.
Beverly A. Gfroerer
Our 1998 4Runner, 221,700 miles, was still in good shape, but in need of a new transmission. Kept advised after a used transmission with 100,000 miles was quickly located and promptly installed after arrival. We hope for an additional 100,000 miles! Highly recommend this company.
Linda Mathews
These guys have the cleanest 'Garage' I have ever been to. The professionalism and honesty keeps me coming back.
Sheri Fortner
The staff was very personable and the turn around for my car was only a few hours. My front axle snapped and they fixed it the same day and got my car back. Highly recommend these guys!
Sean Hensley
My transmission on my 2017 Honda Odyssey started to intermittently hard shifting, starting up in 2nd gear. Cincy Transmission (CT)blessed me with a new transmission after helping with the charge on my extended warranty company Endurance. Rick was a pleasure to work with. CT met and exceeded my expectations for responsive communication, thoroughness, and just easing your anxiety from car troubles. Thank you CT! Thank you Rick! I highly recommend them. My favorite auto repair guy recommended them to me for my transmission needs. A fine example of good people knowing good people!
Anita Grolmes
Highly recommend! Thank you for EXCELLENT service! I recently had my oil changed at a local Toyota dealership and was told I needed $500 maintenance @ 45,500 miles. I declined. Yesterday, I took my car to Cincinnati Transmission Specialists (formerly Sharon Woods Auto Care). Josh inspected my car carefully and said it didn't need any maintenance and that my car was in "great shape." I've definitely found a new shop for my car's regular maintenance and repairs!
Cheri Williams
Whether minor maintenance or major repairs, I only trust Cincinnati Transmission with my vehicles. There is a level of care here that you just don't find anywhere else!
Samantha Gaston
Always takes good care of me when I go to them for service. I have had 3 transmissions in 3 different vehicles and they have helped keep my cars running for years longer. They stand by their work.
John
Very impressive staff. It was recommended by my mechanic of 25 years, and he did not steer me wrong. The unique issue with our Ford Focus was explained very well, which definitely gave me the confidence I needed to trust this shop. They were adamant that I not take the car until they did extensive tests to make sure the issue was truly fixed. I definitely recommend.
James Dawes
I can't speak more highly of Rick and his staff. They were recommended through a friend of mine, who is a mechanic who he had worked with for years and decided to go with Cincinnati Transmission. I was treated very well and his prices are very reasonable. Thank you guys for helping with my van!
Nick Ferrigno
Fast, reliable, VERY professional!!! Took my car in for service, was waited on very professional, called me in 2 hrs and told me the problem and had it fixed in no time!!! If you want a professional job done at a very reasonable price, THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Rick is the owner and he strives to keep his customers happy!!! Extremely happy!!
Patrick Conneighton
I have been using Cincinnati Transmission for over 15 years for all of my personal and business vehicles. Their work is fully guaranteed but above all, they can be trusted to do the job right the first time. I would give them a 10 star rating if there was one.
Dan Nease
They are the best. Don't waist time going somewhere else. CTS team has serviced my fleet and personal vehicles for years. I would not go anywhere else.
Rod
Excellent experience, staff and mechanics do quality work. Rick Justin Josh very knowledgeable. I have a fleet of 30 vans running each day with their help maintaining them. Thank you guy's.
Eric Dallas
Very highly recommend Cincinnati Transmission Specialists for any car service. They have repaired multiple things from batteries, A/C, Timing belts, tire replacement all the way to simple maintenance with oil changes and tire rotations. Always does the job right and fast. They are the best around town!
Brannen Martin
I would never take my cars anywhere else. Very helpful and informative staff. Highly recommended for both minor and major repairs.
Jennifer Martin
I was very pleased with the service at Cincinnati Transmission. My truck had been worked on at two other service centers and the problem still wasn't solved until Rick and his guys worked on it. I definitely recommend the business. You can be sure that they take care of your vehicle the first time. Thanks guys!
GoodDay!
Been a customer for several years. Had questions about transmission issues.. Rick asked me leave the car for a day. He researched the issues and tested the car. He identified the problem area and we are set to take care of them. They always do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it!! Trust them and just keep going back!!
Bernie N
I'm more than pleased with the work Cincinnati Transmission has done for my vehicles. This is my "Go To" shop. -The staff are very professional -Reasonable prices -Rick is straight to the point, no sugarcoating
Smoov Blak
I highly recommend Cincinnati Transmission Specialists!
livinincin
Quick service and friendly employees. Josh has always helped out the best he can with our commercial fleet repairs. Always receive an update on our vehicles within a day or so of diagnosis and repairs made within the week, if possible. We are and will continue to be returning customers and highly recommend this shop to any other business, friends, and family.
Chelsea Collins
Had an issue with my flywheel pressure plate, they had the best price in town and quickest turnaround!
Chris Horwarth
I took my 1999 BMW 740i to Cincinnati Transmission Specialist because it would go into failsafe after driving it for an hour or longer. I was considering replacing the transmission, but Rick asks me to let him run a diagnosis to isolate the problem. He found a few problems not directly related to the transmission but could be causing the transmission overheating and made the repairs at a reasonable cost. He asks me to bring the car back after 500 miles for a code scan to make sure everything was working properly. Over the 500 miles of driving the car went into failsafe once. Rick conducted the code scan and determined the auxiliary fan was not working so I had it and the wiring replaced. Since the repairs I have driven the car for over 3 hours' drive time with no failsafe. Thank You Rick for saving me thousands for not having to replacing my transmission.
Ralph E Sanders
Awesome company and experience with Cincinnati Transmission Specialists! Josh was very knowledgeable, helpful and thorough. I had my Ram 2500 transmission replaced by them and I will continue to use them and recommend them in the future.
Nick Katlein
Their communication and service is second to none. They answered all of my questions and eased my concerns with the process. They completed the work in the time frame they quoted and they did an excellent job. I can not recommend them enough! Thank you!
Angela Gray
Great group of guys at the shop. Very honest and straight up with you. Very please with my experience. My truck runs great now
Ethan Glessner
Best shop to take your car ever! Very friendly and honest. You will not be disappointed.
Greg
Fella's at the shop are straight forward they told us what was best for the ride and necessary
Ross Miller
Excellent care and attention was given by Josh and Dustin in the office. My van's transmission was replaced and is mobile once again in only one day! They have a terrific thriving business!
Dan Stein
Replaced my 2007 dodge caravan transmission in 2 days from when I called for $4600. Good communication. Nice office workers. Didn't get a loser vibe like most other places. I paid a little more but I'm confident in the work. I would go back.
Joe Young
Our family has used this auto repair shop for many years--and will continue coming here for all our repair needs. It's more than just excellent work by the mechanics--the friendliness and helpful attitude are amazing! Thank you to everyone for diagnosing the problems with an old truck and getting it back into operating condition without extra, unnecessary work. Josh and Dustin are easy to talk to and always helpful. You'll get straight answers here!
Deb Hover
They were so polite and helpful. I will definitely use them again.
Melissa D
Outstanding service; professional, knowledgeable, and super helpful. The diagnosis of the issue was done correctly and addressed accordingly -- unlike the shop I had seen before, in this one I received the right advice and recommendation. Thank you, Rick! If you're looking for a shop to get your vehicle fixed right, look no further.
Adam Akka
At 215,000 miles my 2001 Eurovan Westfalia's transmission went bad. The VW dealerships and specialists I called all said to send it to CTS. None of us knew how complicated the repair was about to be. Transmissions for this vehicle are no longer made or even serviced and used ones are barely available. In about 6 weeks they rebuilt the transmission and sent it home with me, but it started acting up so I brought it back. Diagnosing it took several futile rounds of efforts, but Rick assured me several times that he could and would fix it or I could have a full refund. Finally, after exhausting many options for repair, Rick found a low-mileage transmission and control module and at his own cost purchased and installed it. The van is running beautifully again now. I have never seen such dedication to customer satisfaction in my entire life. I completely recommend Rick and Josh and Cincinnati Transmission Service. Thank goodness for an old-school business like this one.
Christopher Phillips
Thank you josh!!!!!!! truck wasn?t working quite right had just bought it. Brought it up to josh got it diagnosed and fixed all within reasonable pricing. Josh you freaking rock man. Truck runs great!
Jerome McNay
After months of experiencing a worsening steering wheel shake which could not be fixed by another mechanic or the local dealership I took my car to CTS. Josh and the team had the problem diagnosed by lunch time on day 1 and had the car fixed the next day. The 3 year warranty they gave me lets me know that the issue is fixed for good! I cannot recommend CTS highly enough!
Aaron Papp
Second time I have used this shop. Had power steering repaired this time. Josh went out of his way to keep me updated on repairs. Super quick service. Highly recommend.
Brian Upchurch
Very honest and fair pricing. I don't regret taking my car to this shop. They are very polite and courteous. Overall, this business is honest and fair.
Olive W.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and felt comfortable with the staff recommendations. Replaced a transmission in my Toyota and when I showed around on price they were at market average or a hair below, but they included a 3 year guarantee/warranty, that others didn't. Definitely would recommend!
John Tewksbury
Highly recommend this place!!! Great experience!! Excellent service !!! Got my vehicle back to my very quickly!!!
Kirk Jones
Always does a great job, never go anywhere else.
theLast Word
Excellent customer service. Fair price and delivered when promised. Would recommend to anyone.
Brian Upchurch
Our car is 24 years old most places told us our car wasn?t worth the fix or parts are hard to find. I?m so happy that Josh and the team at Cincinnati Transmission were able to see the value in our car and able to put the transmission back to better than new. Every time we drive the car we are amazed at how awesome our car drives. Thank you - you are our people!
Sarah Richmond
Transmission on my van was going out. Took it here. Josh was up front about everything. Gave me prices and worked with me to make sure I could afford it all. They made sure that it was done right. I will be using them for my future needs.
Jack Robinson
Came in with a parking pawl issue. My truck would roll upon in park. I was expecting this to be a transmission job where they had to drop the transmission and re build some stuff. Expecting to spend around $2500. Upon inspection they found a loose cable, and fixed that up real nice and pretty. I asked them to do brakes and rotors. So total bill was less than $700 and my truck feels brand new. Called on a Wednesday, was in on Friday morning and picked up my truck around 3pm the same day. very happy customer. Will return with any future needs.
Andy Harris

Great experience, Josh and the team at Cincinnati Transmission were so helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with me and my family as we asked a great deal of questions. They went above and beyond to help me in a difficult situation. Having a transmission go out and the cost associated with having it fixed or replaced is not an easy one and they really made me feel better about the whole process. They have the best warranty and their price is in-line with others who might not offer the same kind of warranty. I could go on and on about how happy I am with their service, but do not take it solely from me, give them a call and check them out for yourselves.

Hands down the best AUTO shop, let alone transmission shop I've come across. These guys are looking to do right by their customer - won't try and talk you into unnecessary repairs. Let this crew advise and ultimately repair your transmission issues - you won't be disappointed!

This is my go to place for my automobile issues. Good people and good work. Tell them the Ford Expedition guy sent you!

I had my transmission replaced at Cincinnati Transmission. The BEST customer service I've ever received anywhere. Rick is extremely knowledgable, patient, diligent and dependable. There prices are fair and I felt I could completely trust them to give an honest assessment of what was going on with my vehicle. If I could give a rating of 100%, I would!!!!

CTS replaced my transmission, squoze as much money as they could out of the cheap warranty company, that tried everything they could to not cover their portion of the repairs. Their knowledge, experience, and accessibility made this expensive process as pleasant as possible. I had just purchased a house when my transmission went out, so I was watching every penny like a hawk They where extremely patient with me being cheap, and trying to rushing the completion along. If you have your vehicle repaired at Cincinnati Transmission Specialist you will drive off feeling confident in the repairs, and appreciative of the friendly service, and fair pricing.

This is the best in town hands down.

Great place! I was driving a church van from eastern Kentucky when it broke down. The tow truck took us to this garage which I believe was God's plan. I had to leave the van but Rick called the next day explaining the problem and had it fixed. We received honest, professional and very friendly service. Shout out to Rick and staff, Cutshin Bible Church is very thankful for your help and generosity. Dwight Lewis

Josh and Rick at Cincinnati Transmission are amazing, honest, and knowledgeable. This is absolutely the only place to take your car!
Dave Willacker
The staff was amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Took me to get a rental car and even gave me a ride home when the rental place couldn't help me. Definitely recommend!

Cincinnati Transmission saved me from a full transmission overhaul to a minor repair. This family business also does more than transmission work with top quality service and value. Their level of professionalism is top notch as they put up with me and I know I can be a pain when it comes to matters impacting the wallet especially in current times. Develop a relationship with this shop and no more looking around when next thing needed repair comes up. Thanks again to Cincinnati Transmission for the top notch work they did on my car... hasn?t run this smooth in years!!
Paul Dasilva
Josh Meyer, and every staff member I spoke with was very kind and helpful. They explained any work being done to my car and why it was necessary to be taken care of. I will continue to take my car to them for all future automotive repairs.

Rick, Josh, and all the guys are the best!

I took my s10 in for diagnostics on the transmission, and after a series of test drive was able to determine that a shift solenoid was bad. I came in with the idea of needing a new transmission obviously would be a costly option, but Josh saved me a ton of money with the correct diagnostics. Only took 2 days to get the truck working again. **New Review since I can't leave two reviews** 3-9-2020 I took my 2008 Lexus IS250 AWD to them for a terrible noise coming from the rear. I explained what had happen to Dustin Svenkerud and he assured that everything was going to be fine and Josh Meyer was going to diagnose the problem. Dustin called me back same day and informed me that my differential input bearing had burned up. They had me back on the road within a couple days with full repairs. The cost was very reasonable without breaking the bank. I will be a customer for life.
Van Brown
Great bunch of guys eager to help.
Leon Plummer
I have been taking my vehicle to Rick for years. Through all the issues I have had with my cars, Rick was always fair, matter of fact, and explained everything in a way I could understand. Being someone who is not as knowledgeable when it comes to repair work, etc. on vehicles, not once have I felt cheated or exploited by Cincinnati Transmission Specialists. No matter the problem, the shop is always able to diagnose the issue, walk me through the process and have the problem fixed before I knew it. I can't speak higher of this shop, the management and the workers overall. The professionalism displayed is refreshing when positive customer service experiences seem to be far and few in between. 10/10 recommend and will continue to take all my personal vehicles here and recommend my friends/family do so as well.
Taylor Foster
Theses guys are the best no questions asked. I took them my truck in May of 2018 to have a built transmission put in my truck due to the fact the old one was going out and all this truck does is pull a trailer. They put in a great transmission loved it. Now fastward to early this year I had to take it back because something was not right. They took it in and checked it out found something failed and it went out it was under warranty still. They completely redid e everything on it and installed a cable I was going to do myself and never charged me a dime. I will not go anywhere else for this type of work again hard to find someone who will stand behind what they say they will do now a days but not these guys other shops could learn something from Rick Josh and the whole crew up there. From the bottom of my heart that k you very much for your help you have a life long customer and I will send others to you also.

Wow! Believe the hype! This is one of the best shops in the city. My car broke down in West Chester on Thursday ?? They helped me get a tow & I had my car back for the weekend!! Their front desk people are very up front, very helpful, and very nice. I'll never get my work done anywhere else!

Great place to get your car worked at.

Our 2012 Ford Explorer broke down when we were driving from Northern Michigan to Orlando this year. We woke up in Cincinnati on a Saturday with no power steering or terrain control in heavy rain. Cincinnati Transmission got us in for an inspection on Saturday morning.It was a recall problem missed by our local Ford dealership in Michigan, but Ford was unhelpful and would not pay or preapproved the repairs. Waiting for a Ford dealership to work on the car would take several weeks. Cincinnati transmission was extremely friendly, helpful and competent. They went into high gear and obtained and installed the module and re-programmed the car?s computer by mid afternoon on Monday. Their charges were very reasonable. We highly recommend them.
Michael Stack
I dropped off my old fairlane a while back because it was blowing trans fluid and oil all over everywhere after rolling it for awhile. Obviously the dude I bought it from had done some work to hide the issues, so by the time I'd run a few thousand miles, the thing was a waterfall, I couldn't drive it anywhere and feel good about it. So I took the lump and dropped it off at CTS at the recommendation of a pal. They had the thing for longer than expected due to part availability, but when I got it back, the motor and trans were spotless, they had tuned the carb and adjusted the timing in addition to the work that I'd asked them to perform. The service was excellent and I couldn't be happier driving this thing around and not having to worry about f**king up my friend's driveways. I'll be dropping off more of my junk for these dudes to wrench.

Top notch crew!
John Waltz
I have been taking my cars to Cincinnati Transmission Specialist for 15 years. Rick and Josh are very trustworthy, which is the first quality I look for in a mechanic shop. I have multiple drivers in the family and own 6 cars with half over 100K miles. Any time something seems wrong as well as when it?s time for regular maintenance, Cin Tran is my first call. They are very accommodating with my schedule and will let me know the timeframe it will take for the maintenance based on their schedule. I feel confident and comfortable that they will tell me if something is minor and doesn?t need immediate attention or let me know if something needs to be addressed right away. They have and continue to earn my trust and respect.
Bob Volz
Fast, friendly, professional, fair prices.
Chris
We were traveling from Michigan when our truck pulling our camper started acting up. I called 4 places that could not see us. 1 place gave us the number to call here. While Rick and Josh said to come on in we will be waiting for you. They were wonderful, prompt, did not take advantage of us. We were at there mercy. THANK YOU so much.
Jackie McGinnis
Quick service, very friendly staff, and extremely helpful. They were able to get my car in the same morning I had just brought it in to get checked out. Prices were very reasonable, and they were able to get it done a little faster than estimated.
Martin Fehringer
Josh and Cincinnati Transmission Specialist have been amazing over the last 5+ years we have been going there! They are always so friendly and explain everything that is going on with my cars. They always give me the best price and I would never take my cars anywhere else. Doesn?t matter if the problem is big or small they can fix anything and very timely. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new place to take their cars.
Chase Hymer
The kind folks at Cintrans have maintained our fleet of heavy duty carpet cleaning trucks for many, many years. Josh and Rick and their crew are experts in just about anything. Engines replaced, transmissions , tune ups, steering isues, electrical. You name it ,odds are they will fix it right the FIRST time and do it at a fair price . Way cheaper than dealers. The place to go! Mike Murrie Steamex Eastern Custom Carpet Care.
Michael Murrie
Folks, if you are having trouble finding a top-notch shop to work on your vehicle to...look no further. Honestly!. I have taken a couple vehicles to Josh and his crew and have found nothing except courtesy, quality and most of all integrity!!! He actually took care of the transmission on my Chrysler 2003 Town and Country after another mechanic had already "fixed" it but wouldn't guarantee it. Josh replacement my trans and guaranteed his work. As it turns out this guarantee was not even necessary...40,000 miles later we are still running like new. One final note...I'm not sure why others felt compelled to leave bad reviews here but I can tell you that Josh and his crew have been so good to me that I recently had a vehicle towed 40 miles despite the fact there is another repair shop just 3 miles away. The honesty, integrity and commitment to quality are by all mean worth the couple extra bucks for the tow. Thank Josh and crew...once again....great work!
Gary McNay
They don't communicate in a timely manner and they kept my car for a month to put in a second transmission!
Jennifer Williams
Took my car there to inspect work done by another transmission shop. Gave me very good insight into the issues I was having, talking points for bringing it back up to the shop that did the work, etc. Was very pleased with the organization of the shop, way they conducted themselves on the phone, and the overall service received. Would definitely go back again.
Der Jo
My trans starting shifting erratically on the way to work and this was the nearest transmission shop. These 2 guys, Josh and Justin, I think, said I was only low on transmission fluid. They put a quart in and didn't even charge me ! Can't believe it, I was ready to spend a ton on a new trans and it cost me nothing by going there.
JOHN GEDNEY
Josh Meyer and his team were great to work with. My experience was nothing less than outstanding!!! I called Cincinnati Transmission to get a 2nd opinion of a diagnosis of transmission issues from another business with my 2008 Toyota Sienna. He offered to squeeze it into his already full and busy schedule because of a upcoming trip I had planned. He was incredibly thorough in his inspection of my van and determined that it did not need a transmission replacement at all! Rather the issue was a clogged air filter and a dirty throttle body sensor! It was a huge savings to me and gave me peace of mind that everything was okay with my van. Josh saved me the huge expense of needless and ficticious work that another place wanted to perform. Josh was easy to work with, returned phone calls as needed, and even sent pictures of what the issues were. I will be a returning custumer and recommending this local business to all my friends!!!
Timothy Wall
Unquestionably the best auto repair experience I've had. Immediate service, fair price, and on-time completion just as they estimated. When an unexpected additional issue was found (that was not their fault) they even handled that perfectly and did everything they could to ensure we were satisfied. My family will work with them exclusively from now on.
Eric Anthony
Really nice people to do business with - very accommodating & show great concern also.
Roger J. Ullrich
One of the best service experiences I have ever had. They diagnosed my transmission problem in spite of the dealer stating that there was none. The car is still under warranty and so I have to take it back to the dealer. Cincinnati Transmission did not even charge me for a lot of diagnostic work. They could have just flushed the system as I had asked but they heard that something was wrong. Just flushing the system was not the answer and they did not hesitate to do the right thing. Now I hope the dealer has the same integrity.
David Freudenthal
Absolutely by far the best experience I've ever had with getting my car serviced. Josh and Rick took care of me and 100% exceeded my expectations which were rather high to begin with. I was on the fence on trading my car in but with a 3 year warranty on my rebuilt transmission i couldn't pass it up. Absolutely recommend these guys for any sort of transmission work!
Chris Mentrup
These guys are fast and trustworthy. Will not take my honda anywhere else
Cheif Bobo
Very fair and honest . Thought transmission was slipping ended up being something else that was alot less expensive to fix.
Christina Ridner
I took my SUV to the dealer to find out that my rear differential had gone out. The dealer quoted me a fairly high price to complete the repair. I came across Cincinnati Transmission and gave them a call. Josh explained the options and I was able to get a used differential with a better warranty than the dealer offered, not to mention Cincy Trans was 2/3 the price. Josh was professional and was able to get my car done in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend reaching out to them to see if they can help you. Thank you Cincinnati Transmission for doing great work at an affordable price!

Great people

I went to Cincinnati Transmission on a Friday before a holiday weekend. I did not expect to be able to get my car back on short order even though I asked if it was possible. Josh let me know that they were very busy, as was obvious by the number of cars in the stalls and waiting service, but that they would see what they could do. I had heard that before from other shops and was not holding out much hope but Josh was able to deliver above and beyond what was expected! Everyone I encountered at Cincinnati Transmission was very professional and courteous not to mention that the shop and waiting area were clean and in very good order. I sincerely appreciate the fine work they did as well as the attention to detail that they maintained. I highly recommend Cincinnati Transmission Specialists and will be back for any of my cars that need their service.

Stopped leaking transmission and had great communication! Thanks!

Simply the very best service in the city. They service our entire fleet in a timely manner, and always at a fair price. Easy to deal with and honest. Fast turnaround times are important to keeping our business going, we rely on our trucks daily and trust that when the work is done... it's done right the first time.

Great customer service. Very knowledgeable technicians. They are very clean and respectful of your car, and do not try to up-sell for unnecessary services. Cincinnati Trans is the only place that my family trusts with our vehicles.
Ryan Graham
I have been bringing my vehicles to Cincinnati Transmission Specialists for years and they have performed a variety of services for me - AC repair, brake/rotor replacement, spark plug and battery issues to name a few. The team is extremely professional and provides a thorough explanation of what has happened, what needs to be done to fix the issue and what this will cost. Updates are provided to the customer throughout the process and repairs are timely. Prices are extremely fair. I appreciate the transparency provided by the entire team and highly recommend their services.
Katie Kaminski Feldkamp
I had my Honda Accord transmission rebuilt here 5 years ago and it ran like new after their work. Recently, my 1999 BMW 528i needed an overhaul. The cost would have been excessive for such an old vehicle, but they recommended a used transmission with a 3 year warranty at about half the cost of a rebuild. I went with that, and although it took almost 2 weeks (with a rental provided), I am very happy with the results. My car runs like new again!
John Abbate
Rick Lamping and his team are so efficient and well priced, anytime I need a repair or even an oil change I go to Cincinnati transmission specialist.
Keith Schoenfeld
Always great service and timely repairs. The only time I had any issue was with a part and they stood by it and made things right, above and beyond what they needed to do.
Dan Lane
This is the best shop in Cincinnati and the only shop we ever take our cars in my family. Their customer service is stellar!
Chris Yantek
These guys are the best. Took really good care of me. Made sure my car was up to par. Since I am new to the area and going to school here I was lost without my car. They checked everything and got me back on the road with confidence that I will be safe. They are family owned and operated and you get that feeling of trust dealing with them. They will have all my business in the future.
Cathie Houk
Great service. Very fair and easy to do business with. I was able to manage repairs on my daughters car in Cincinnati from Chicago.

great experience from start to finish. Service manager Josh Meyer answered all my questions and seemed extremely knowledgeable. customer service is great and they stand behind their work.

They did a great job on my Audi!
Adam Goessling
The team at Cincinnati Transmission have serviced and conducted repairs on my automobiles for many years. The work they have done has ranged from addressing complex transmission issues to rather straight forward bearing replacements. In all cases their ability to quickly and accurately identify the specific problem has been excellent. The repair work they have completed for me has been of exceptionally high quality. They also stand behind their work and they are good people. I would recommend them to anybody needing transmission or drivetrain repairs.
Joseph Gargiulo
Cincinnati Transmission Specialists is Fantastic! They have taken excellent care of my family's vehicles for several years now. Their pricing is fair and the work is top notch. They truly treat customers like family, and will continue to earn my business.

Great service. Had 60-70k on the transmission when we sold the truck and it still felt new. Great warranty and quality of service. Would look if i ever needed any other repairs.
Colin Ellison
Wanted to give a big thanks to Rick Lamping and the staff at Cincinnati Transmission Specialists. After a few issues with my husbands car we were referred to Rick and his staff. I can't even begin to describe how happy we are with the service we received. From start to finish we received nothing but impeccable professionalism, and honesty. Rick was very thorough with explaining the repairs that needed to be done. By him explaining the how's, and the why's, made it easier to understand how important it was to do the repairs needed. My husband and I wanted to thank Rick and his staff for taking such great care of us and Cincinnati Transmission Specialists will be the first place we call with our car repair needs in the future.
Lauren Schoenfeld
They just replaced the clutch on my heavy duty diesel pickup. Not only did they provide great service great expertise they also recommended and installed the best clutch for my uses and my vehicle. We replaced a south bend dual disk clutch so my expectations were extremely high. The clutch they chose and installed not only works perfectly even when hooked to a large trailer pulling my excavator up a large hill, but it?s also made the truck much more drivable compared to what I had before. It?s truly like a different truck. Thanks Josh and Rick for taking such fine care of my vehicle

OUR REVIEWS
Bryan Van Buren, 10/27/2024This place is amazing! I had a part that needed replaced and the manufacturer and aftermarket companies discontinued the part. The shop worked with me to source a machine shop that made a beefier version. Long story short, it took 1 year for the part to be made and Cincinnati Transmission was super professional about the ordeal. The installation was top notch. I recommend these guys to anybody!
