Paul took my call, great guy. Very personable and down to earth.Got my van into shop at blazingly fast speed. While other shops in area told me it could take from 3 days to 3 weeks!His Guys took the vehicle, pinpointed the leak, fixed it and returned it by 9am the next day. I probably dropped it off at 3pm and I hit the road by 10am next day. A1 trans took the initiative and earned the business.I could nitpick the repair and cost but there wasnt a need. They did what I needed them to do and they didnt press me for anything else. Cost was up front and transparent and the service was quick.Pro: Fast, friendly service, understand your needs and they felt compelled to help find a solution. (You cant say that about the big stealerships, I mean dealerships nowadays)They make you feel like a customer and not a number. A/C office area had a couple chairs for waiting.Cons: parking lot can be tricky to navigate. Lots of project cars sitting around collecting dirt.Location is tucked right behind main road making it difficult to see, but if you have GPS it gets you right there. They could have spent and extra 5 min and wiped down every little drop of fluid that had leaked onto undercarriage, but who am I kidding its an older vehicle.Neutral: price was on point, not expensive, but not cheap, very average pricing. Office needs a good clean (spiders and webs and dirt, but its an operating small business so I cut them some slack)

Good folks to work with. Family owned and operated. Did a great job for me.

Fast service and fair price.

Good, honest people. Paul the owner even showed me the transmission pan. Make sure you dont make the same mistake as me, get your transmission checked every year.!!! It will save you alot of money and worry. No one ever told me to do that. To late now. I will definitely go to A 1 transmission again when I get another car.

Very professional, great communication and they got our truck done as quick as possible at a fair price! Had a new water pump put in, serpentine belt, transmission serviced and out ac fixed in less than 2 days. My dad has also used them and also had great service

I was traveling back to NC when my transmission went out in Ocala Fl. I called Paul that night and he said he had a transmission in stock and he could have in put into my truck the next day. With some issues after the install I finally got back on the road. Great staff and owner.

Fast turnaround time and great service; My transmission was rebuilt and working find after 1 month of service.

They are very honest and sincere. So thankful for what they did to fix my sons car. Would definitely recommend them. Mario was great in communicating. Thanks again.

3rd generation auto repair shop, father-son and team are all awesome. You know it’s good when the lot is full and the phones are ringing. Good prices for great service.UPDATE 11/2020 This team continues to impress. We’ve been back several times with our vehicles, little things here and there, and always quick, cost-effective and professional. Paul, Mario and the A-1 family are awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻

Horrible all I have to say Im so upset with how everything went down and all the money and nothing is fixed trying to stay calm about it.

These fellows are like every other place their experience is like other shops in to, but their a little different, their more personal, kinda of people like in the 70s and 80s like they use to be...

Excellent service by the entire staff and mr paul and mario manager and technicians will go back without reservations to great service fixed right

We have been coming here for the last 3 years and my extended family have been customers over the last 15+ years. They provide great quality work, reasonable prices, fast service and they are the friendliest staff ever! I will be coming here for years to come!

Best service in Florida. Ive been their customer for years. They are honest and A1 mechanics. I wont trust anyone else like I trust them.

Went in for a heater core. I guess they couldnt complete the job. So Paul, owner, inquired if I thought of just by passing the heater core. That wasnt completed successful. I had to return a couple of times(being 4 trips made) I feel, Even this, they boys dont care about Your inconvience. HAROLD who unfortunately works seems to be a misersble, Poor UNPROFESSIONAL Worker. Short story, eating to a diner. Held conversation with fellow mechanics. I told THIS place tried to fix my car & messed it up more. Their response was, Thats where you messed up at, going there. Referrals to how Awful This(A-1 Transmission) is. So embarrassing!

Excellent very professional and highly trained mechanics

Very honest shop

Good honest guys here. Paul is an honest guy and will fix your vehicle rite. They stand behind there work. Nobody wants transmission problems but they happen. Dont get ripped off by other transmission shops take your vehicle to A1 transmission you wont be disappointed

Paul and his team were true life savers for us! We were passing through town and had transmission trouble. Even though it was closing time on a Friday, they were so gracious to help!Other shops refused but A-1 stepped up to rescue a couple of stranded travelers! They quickly eased our fears, fixed the truck, and charged a VERY fair price! What a blessing! Great service, good hearted people, and highly recommended!! Thank you.

By FAR... MOST RELIABLE, MOST HONEST, MOST CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED. NEED SOMEONE TO TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY? A1 TRANSMISSION IS YOUR PLACE

Everybody is so friendly and definitely know what theyre doing. You can be confident in knowing that whatever is wrong with your vehicle they are the guys for the job and for a very fair and reasonable price. Installed a new torque converter in my car and it works amazing. They even found other things I wasnt aware of and brought it to my attention and resolved them for me and I had my car back in no time. Thank you so much A-1!!!

Great place to take your vehicle! Friendly service and they wont gouge you on the price! They handle most services, not just transmissions. I will definitely have them do my next needed service!

Paul put a rebuild transmission in our truck and gave a 12 month/ 12,000 mile warranty. Four thousand miles and less than 12 months later, the transmission burned up when we were in Texas. We had to pay $5000 for a new transmission. After speaking to Paul a couple times, he said he would give us a refund for parts but not labor, which I dont believe is right. It is now almost 2 months later and we have yet to receive anything from him.

Friendly employees. Good customer service. Repair was done quickly.Was a little disappointed with the greasy finger prints inside the car though.

Paul and his team are great. The most reputable auto repair I have ever used. I have trusted A-1 for years for all our auto repair needs and always been satisfied with their incredible service.

Excellent service, Honest!, friendly and nothing but professionals!

Really nice. Fast work and the workers are nice. Everything is fixed with my car now. Top of the top.

Great place, always honest!

Fast, honest and attentive service. Made my 2 year old feel right at home during our wait with PBS cartoons. Truly grateful.

I have been using A-1 Transmission for years. Mechanical work as well as transmission. Honest abd good work.

Very upbeat and positive staff nice experience!

Paul and his staff are great mechanics.Only does what needs to be done. Saved my boss almost $3000.3 different shops said the transmission was shot. Paul serviced it, worked fine! Less then $120.

They take care of our vehicles. Honesty and good mechanics. Prices are in line. Nice waiting area and service with a handshake, smile and you can trust them.

Great service and good price best place to get your car fixed.

Always first class service and experience.

Best mechanics in town. Ive used them for all my car issues and maintenance. Honest guys and professional, and will go the extra mile to work with you.I bought a used car that had issues a few years ago and A1 had it up and running in no time. Best of all, they charged $200 less than what was quoted at another repair shop.

I was referred to A-1 by another company. They are awesome and have earned a customer for life. Thanks Paul

Great people, they really take care of you.

Accurate quote. Top-notch service. I highly recommend them if you want quality parts and service at a fair price.

Great service, exceeds expectations. Sticks to their word and warrantee.

Just found out that they put a junkyard transmission in my truck. Wasnt even the correct year for the truck. Took the money for a rebuild an put an older used transmission in my truck.

Paul and Steve are awesome people..........They take care of all of my vehicles for my office. Trustworthy bunch of group........cant always say that about a mechanic. J

Quick and Respectful Service from Paul and the mechanics

No one told me that there was a charge for them to look at my vehicle. They could have told me on the phone. I would have went to a different place that does free estimates.

Saved me tons of money just by being honest! I will be taking ALL my business to them since they do about everything when it comes to car and truck repair. Genuine and friendly, they are the best!

Took my car in for a transmission service. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The were very honest with me and up front with everything.

Great company that repaired our transmission and had our work vehicle on the road 2 days later. They also came and picked the vehicle up from our shop.-Tate Parada

This is the best company to build a transmission by far . I spoke with Ivan and he got the info he needed from me on what kind of truck what model what was u gonna be pulling and what size tires was I running and after he asked these questions I knew this company knew what they was doing . Ivan is very informative and very customer savvy . This company reminds me of the old way America use to do business with great knowledge great service and great parts . A Big Huge thank you to Patriot Transmissions and Ivan for a job well done . A very satisfied customer and all of this is spoken from a mechanic company that has been in business over 30 yrs but just didnt have time to build myself .

What a great experience good price and my truck was repaired correctly. Highly recommend and I dont just anyone touch my truck I feel safe having A-1 work on my truck and in the future as well.

Excellent mechanics. The reception area is very clean.

Best mechanics in town get the job done and they worry about you more than the car great people

Tells you 1 price and then changes the price when you show up to pick up your car by hundreds and just stood there and said well it is what it is. Used to love these guys! Can no longer recommend this shop. Very disappointed.

Trustworthy mechanics at a very fair price... been my guys for a few yrs now and am very happy with their service

A1 Has been my shop od choice for 30 years....never found a need to change.

A great place to go for any auto work but Second To None when it comes to Transmissions this place is wonderful

I had a 2005 Ford Explorer transmission done through Paul. Very reasonable, honest & they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend him.

Very efficient and reliable. Prices are very reasonable, turn around time is very fast.

These guys are awesome will not go anywhere else..If you want a for real honest mechanic this is the place..

Professional service you can trust, at a fair price.

First class service - I recommend Paul & Steve for any kind of service on your vehicle.
