This is honestly one of the best shops in Kingston they give quality, they’re completely honest and they try to get your vehicle out to you as soon as possible I’ve been going here for a while never had a problem with them. They always give me quality work and charge fair prices. I trust this shop to do the maintenance on my cars definitely will be coming back. Thanks sharp transmission for the quality. We need more mechanics like you!

These guys are honest and truthful. I definitely recommend them.I thought my jeep transmission was leaking and requested the pan gasket to be replaced. The crew informed me that it was not transmission fluid but oil leaking near the bell housing (classic Oil filter adapter assembly area ). Fast service, got me in and out right away.

The way that I was treated at Sharp was what sets them apart from other shops I have been to. I and my vehicle were handled respectfully and I appreciated that staff listened to my concerns and worked with me to solve my problem instead of trying to push me to get tons of unnecessary repairs done. If you like honesty, dedication and quality, give this place a try.

These guys took my car in same day and did an amazing job at a competitive price. They texted me before-and-after photos of all of the parts they changed (i got a new clutch). It made me feel confident seeing photo evidence of my car parts going from hurtin to brand new. highly recommended!

Milt and Team were super to a stranger/refugee come to town with an old car and broken a/c during some of the hottest days just post-plandemic opening. I was so grateful to be seen right away even though they are super busy, receive fast and kind, patient service, reasonable prices for the assessment of the problem, honest assistance in purchasing a cheap returnable part through e-bay to fix the problem, and be able to return at no further installation cost for the part, once it arrived. Very professional. Thank you so so much! Highly recommend. This is my new mechanic as I become a permanent resident. Thank you again!

I know of eight different rebuilds done by Milt and his team and NONE have ever had a problem again. You could find someone to do it for less money but never better. I am an ASE Master Mechanic and recommend them highly!

My fiance and I only moved to the Kingston area one year ago. I saw good reviews for Sharp on Yelp & gave it a go. Milt & his team are fantastic. I thought I would miss my mechanic back home, but Milt has surpassed them. Everyone is kind & friendly. The prices are fair & they do great work. We are moving again due to a job change & are most bummed to lose this place. I told Milt today that we named our car Milt in his honor. That got a good laugh :) But in all seriousness, you cant go wrong here. Why go to a corporate chain, when there are still trustworthy independently owned shops like this?

Bill and Milt are both great. They communicate clearly what is going on, what they need to do, how long it will take and what it will cost. Ive brought my vehicle to them 3 times for various issues and have been very pleased every time. They go above and beyond to be helpful in any way they can. I highly recommend Sharp Transmission.

Very happy with the service I received here! Gentleman I spoke with was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. He called me as soon as the problem was diagnosed, thoroughly explained it to me and then had it fixed 3 hours faster than he originally quoted! If the need ever arises I will return here for service!

Review №15

They gave me the info that I needed about my car but didnt mention the diagnostic fee until my car was already there. They also told me my car wasnt really worth fixing which was bad news considering I am still financing it. Mechanically though they seem to know what they are talking about.

One of the nicest people around. Def bring your car here! I wouldn’t worry if you had no clue about cars, they take their time to explain you, teach you and then proceed to fix the car if it’s really needed!

I have had four or five cars fixed by Milt and his crew over the past 30 years. Each and every time, I have been absolutely satisfied with the quality of the repairs, the cost of the repairs, and the high level of communication to keep me in the decision process. They dont come any better than these guys. When I have a problem that needs an expert, they are the place that I think of first.

I havent had any work done here, but they were extremely helpful when I was trying to find someone to checkout a used car that I wanted to buy in the area. They even offered to go pick it up to check it out before I drove in from out of town. The dealership wouldnt let us do it, so they didnt end up doing anything, but their helpfulness and advice was excellent!

Car towed there on a Sunday and I was certain the transmission was gone on the 89 Volvo....it wouldnt move an inch, just revved as if in neutral in every gear. Seems all it needed was a good cleaning of the transmission filter. Drove it home Monday and it shifted like it should. More than impressed with the honesty of the mechanics at Sharp in Kingston! Diagnosed and repaired without going to the most expensive repair first. Thank you so much for having my car done in less than a day, without even expecting it there, and charging me a fair and decent price to clean the tranny filter.A local Swedish car mechanic had quoted me $6k to replace the transmission. Quoted less than $2k by Sharp for the same job when and if it comes to needing one. This is where Ill be taking my car from now on!

Thanks Milt!!! For the great service and honesty thats hard to find in this world today.... On 12/8/08 I broke down on the NYST south. I asked the tow truck driver to take me to the most reputable transmission place he knew, and that he did!!!!When I walked into the shop, I first asked if I could use the bathroom, when I walked into the bathroom I was surprised to see how clean it was for a repair shop, too me the first good indicator.. After peaking in the shop and noticing a clean organized work environment I felt even better.... After leaving the vehicle and having them diagnose the problem they gave me two options, factory rebuilt or rebuild the existing.. I did wind up going with the factory rebuild with a great warranty and to this day almost four years later and no problems, I would highly recommend Milt and his crew!!!Also to this day Milt will answer any questions in regards to the vehicle I had repaired almost 4 years ago without any hesitation.... But let me remind you the questions I ask are regular service questions, not problems Im having, because I have had no problems what so ever!!!THANKS again Sharp TransmissionsTom T

I am so happy I am I found Sharp Transmissions. They are my only car care providers now and I bring my vehicles to them for everything. They earned my trust and loyalty with their fair prices and honesty. The work they performed on my cars is superior to all other service stations AND the dealers I have used.

I have been a customer of sharp transmissions for the past ten years. They have worked on all of my cars. The work has been up to exceptional standards. I have them complete all my services from oil changes to major service. I have always been totally satisfied. The shop is manned with techs who have years of experience that care about my car. They are professionals. Like the old adage you get what you pay for.

A few years ago I has Sharp fix my transmission on a Toyota mini van. My regular mechanic said he thought it was shot but said to take it to Milt. It was less expensive than I expected and that van ran for many years after that. I just sent a friend to Milt the other day and his car runs better than it did when it was new. It made me happy to have my friend so pleased and to know I can recommend Sharp with confidence.

Kind, honest people that do great work.Milt’s sister was a joy to talk with while waiting . Bill was very kind and knowledgeable. He should wear a white lab coat with all the customers he has to deal with😊. I will be a new customer.

Excellent shop. I first took my Jeep Grand Cherokee a couple years ago due to a faulty wheel bearing and a few other issues. Being fairly new to the area I didnt have a trusted mechanic yet, so I just went to a big name tire shop at first. The sound of a faulty wheel bearing is not too hard to recognize and I told this big name store this was the problem. They said your wheel bearings are good but instead they try to sell me new brakes and rotors. So, I took my Jeep and left.After looking at the good reviews here I decided to give Sharp a try. The owner, Milt, easily diagnosed the issue as a faulty wheel bearing and diagnosed other issues I asked about. What I think is so great about dealing with Milt is he takes the time to go over the exact problems and what could cause them. This is not a type of place where they will try to upsell you or tell you to fix things that need not be. They will fix what you ask and do it right. Milt is an expert in his craft and his personality conveys that he cares about his customers. It is very rare to go into a random mechanic shop without being recommended or knowing someone, and be treated like an old friend.Thanks Milt

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Sharp Transmissions. A friend and I were driving to NYC from VT for a weekend trip and I had car troubles on the drive down on Friday evening. Sharp was super helpful Friday evening and then they fixed my car for me first thing Saturday morning. They really too the stress away of a very stressful car situation. My drive back to Vermont was so smooth after their repair! Thanks! If I lived closer they would certainly have all of my car repair business.

My car broke down on the thruway, four hours from my home. The tow truck driver recommended this company as the place to drop it at. Dealing with an unfamiliar repair shop is always stressful, but I could not be more happy with this place. Sharp put in a used transmission for me, and I have not had a single problem since. The car runs like new here six months later, and Sharp even put in a muffler I needed within the same price. I am so pleased to have been recommended here as a stranger, and would highly recommend Sharp Transmissions to anyone. If they treat out-of-towners this well, you know they will be great to all those in the Kingston area. Thanks for the great service!

Incredible is all I have to say. My truck started slipping and immediately I brought the truck to Milt. He diagnosed the problem which was a known defect that the manufacturer knows about but was not covering. I had an extended warranty that the company was not going to cover either. Milt went above and beyond to work with the adjuster to prove this was a warranty issue.I got my truck back a few days later with the transmission rebuilt by Milt and his team and it runs perfectly. This is the second vehicle that I had work done at Sharp and if I ever need work on any of my other vehicles, I will definitely be getting them over to Milts place.One more thing. It nice to walk into a place where they talk to you and explain things rather than just take your keys and say well call you when we know whats wrong.Thanks again Milt. You have a lifetime customer.

After spending a few hours online searching out the issues my car was having I took a ride to Sharp transmission. From what I read on the internet this problem might cost me over $1.500 Needless to say I was a bit stressed out. The mechanic/owner on duty had me leave the car overnight. The next day he phoned and informed me that,my issue could be given a band aid and the cost would be about 1500. He advised against it and told me to drive the car in auto matic rather than the shift option. After speaking with him it became clear that he was all about helping.To sum it up 8 months later the car is still working I am following gis advice.. run her till she dies. This shop saved me a lot of money that most other places would have gladly taken.
