If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! We were from out of town and on vacation when our car broke down and they went out of there way to help us and fix our car even though they are always busy they got us fixed up and back on the road as fast as they could. They went out of there way to make sure, knowing we had to drive back home pretty far, that it was also safe in a lot of ways to go the distance. They also saw a bad tire we had and didnt realize so they got a new tire and changed it for us, which I think was a parting gift since we annoyed them so much calling πŸ˜‚ Wish they were closer to our end because I would bring any vehicle i needed work done on back that I had an issues with for sure. Great people great service great work. I want to thank you all again for everything you did from Florida to Kentucky and back 😊 from the Robinson clan 😊

Brought in my Audi A4 for a new transmission. I took it to 3 different shops before this one and they all tried to screwed me over but Bill’s Transmission was super honest and the price point was really great. Transmission runs amazing and feels like new. Currently getting a wheel bearing and ball joint replaced and I’m definitely going to keep using them in the future! If you’re worried about what shop you choose to fix your car, you should definitely choose Bill’s. They’ll take care of it for you.

Manager Brandon scheduled my transmission install within day of it arriving at the shop from the reman facility. The install came off without a hitch within the time frame I was quoted, and the price was very fair. Also, Brandon answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend Bills Transmission for any transmission work.

Best transmission place in the Northwest Florida, Not only did he take care of my transmission, he’s guys done some other mechanical work for me and they are real good at what they do.another thing I liked about Brandon is he told me a price in the beginning and that is what it was and he lets you know when and how much from the start I highly recommend Bill’s transmission to anyone

Recommended by our regular auto repair shop for work on our 2001 F250 Super Duty after the transmission went out. A rebuild was completed and they did a great job. Transmission performs better than when new. This is the best place in the area for transmission work! Brandon and the team there are really great.

These guys are great! They kept me informed throughout my repair. Very professional and friendly. Much better experience at Bills than at other shops I’ve previously dealt with. My car shifts so much smoother! Very pleased! Definitely recommend them to anyone.

My 4-runner was making an unusual noise. Brandon took the time to research and found out what was wrong when no one else could figure out the problem. He has also changed my oil on several occasions, and other general maintenance. When I go in, Brandon and his father, Bill are always eager to assist. It is nice doing business with local family owned businesses. I would highly recommend them.

Brought a transmission in on a Tuesday. Guy said it would be done the following Monday and they would call. Okay, fine. We get it. Theyre busy and it would take longer than the usually 2-4 days...Monday comes around and no call. Tuesday, no call. Wednesday WE finally call them and they say it is not done, had an issue with getting the parts or something and that it would be done the FOLLOWING MONDAY.Okay.. fine. Fine. Somewhat understandable.Well Monday comes around again, no call. So Tuesday WE call THEM again. Guess What? Still not done and wont be done until THURSDAY. Thats 2 and a half weeks folks!! When we were initially told 6 days.It takes 2-3 days to pull it apart and put back together. We took it up there already out of the truck, all they had to do was take apart and put back together. Ask any mechanic. Even though they were busy, it SHOULD NOT have taken that long. Or they should have told us up front how long it Would be. Would of taken it somewhere else if we had known. We were borrowing someone elses car and husband took off work that day to put the transmission back in the truck but could not because it wasnt done, 2 weeks after we brought it there! Super unprofessional would not recommend.

This is our second time using Bills transmission ( different cars). I brought our old suv in for what I thought was the transmission ( I have zero mechanic training) nope power steering, much cheaper fix. I have never seen a shop do it’s absolute best to save their customers money. As long as their doors are open we will use Bills.

Ten Stars if I Could! 100% Recommended.I asked a half-dozen locals (friends and family) for there recommendations. Bills was the unanimous response.Keywords: THE BEST, quality work, well run, reasonable cost, experienced techs, friendly, respectful, trusted, confidence, no surprises, etc.Bills Transmission is a locally family owned and operated business (2nd Gen managed, 3rd Gen on the job training). I quickly saw the honesty, care, quality and performance that reflects Pride-of-Ownership.The shop is VERY busy! Make an appointment and get there ON TIME, or early. Waiting area is small - inspections and routine maintenance can be relatively quick. Just remember, automatic transmissions are complex, bordering on magical! Even for experts, like those at Bills, quality work takes time and money.

Review β„–25

Took my vehicle in to Bills Transmission in Panama City, Florida and asked them to have a look at it because it was making a very loud noise from the rear end. I had already had a diagnosis performed at another shop, who recommended that I take it to Bills. I knew that my pinion and bearing needed to be replaced. After a couple of days of not hearing from them, I finally called and the person on the phone informed me that indeed my pinion and bearing was bad, but that I also needed to replace or rebuild the rear end, because if they just replaced the bearing, the noise would not go away. I agreed to have them rebuild the rear end instead of replacing the entire rear end with a used one. It took them about a week to repair, and with no communication aside from me calling them to get an update on when the repairs may be complete. After paying them $1800 for the repair, 2 months later, the noise is back and as loud as ever. It was a little noisy the day we picked it up, but not as bad as previously. After only 2 months I am dealing with the same exact loud noise as before, and I am not about to pay them another $1800! Bills came highly recommended from many people that I talked to in Bay County, but I am not the least bit impressed.

I decided not to take my transmission work to this location. Reason being I can confirm that the other reviewers report of indifferent and somewhat surly attitude of the owners (his son I think) is true. When you go in they appear to be very busy and when I have driven by they have been busy. I think this is translating into an attitude of We dont really need your business and we have so much business we really dont care if you use us or not. They really didnt seem to care if I gave them the work or not, they were indifferent..... this naturally moves to the next step... that is - We dont care if you are satisfied or not as we already have so much business. I didnt give them the work and went elsewhere. Eventually this type of customer care will backfire on them... not yet though... not enough competition in the area.

These guys are top notch. My transmission went out while I was on vacation from ohio. I took my truck to bills on Tuesday and told them my situation and that I was leaving Saturday. They stayed in communication with me on the issues and rebuilt my transmission with a new computer and external cooler and had it back to me Friday night. Drove back home Saturday with zero issues. Thanks guys I appreciate your great service.

Review β„–35

They took over a week to give me an estimate. I authorized the work, but it took 5 days longer than they told me it would. No one would ever call me and update me on anything. After it was finally fixed, I go into to pick up my car, they gave me a price that was $111.00 higher than what the owner told me it would be (in his words, This price is firm). Then, the guy Brandon at the front desk was so RUDE. I was giving him over $2,000 and he acted like I spat in his face. He never once thanked me for my business nor apologized for the misquote, nor the delay in the repair. And to boot, I drive off and my speedomoter isnt working. They never hooked the cable back up. My exhaust has also been backfiring, as they took it off and didnt weld it back properly. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. They are unappreciative, rude and unprofessional.

I personally felt like the transmission was shot on my truck...Bills came highly recommended and diagnosed the trouble and saved me a ton of $$$. He could have gone with my thought and replaced the tranission but instead, was honest and repaired only what it required. Thanks Bill and Team
