CRIMINALS
My review and experience is definitely vastly and drastically different from my first. Now after having a completely ridiculous experience I now feel that this shop was just trying to scam me and run away with a quick and easy buck. I took my Nissan Titan in as it had intermittent issues with the transmission disengaging starting out from a complete stop, A/T check light blinks on and off, goes off, then the check engine light comes on and stays on. I pull over, put it in park, turn the engine off, start it back up, and drive off like nothing happened. The transmission shifts and operates normally. I drive it easy for a month or two, check engine light goes off and its fine until the next time it happens. I took it to useless excuse for a shop. They worked on it all day. They called me up and told me I need a whole new transmission and a remanufactured transmission would cost $7500 and a used would be $3500. I asked how much to repair it, and was told also about $3500. I immediately started looking around online, and found used transmissions for under $800 with free shipping and remanufactured engines are typically about $2800 for 1st generation Titan 2WD. The code that was showing from the check engine light was a solenoid error - P1767 which is part of the valve body. To replace the valve body, its just under the transmission pan and valued at about 1-2 hours labor. A remanufactured valve body is about $250. A new one is about $1800-$2300. None of the actual numbers I found remotely matched up to what I was told... who ended up being the manager of the transmission part of the shop. I then took it to another shop who looked up the code, and told me that its most likely an electrical issue due to the nature of the problem. They also pretty much confirmed all the prices that I looked up and found. Bottom line is, DONT EVER TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS SHOP - THEY ARE CRIMINALS!
