I chose them because of all the other positive reviews. Was not disappointed. Excellent price and great work! Definitely recommend. I also really like that it’s a family owned business. I feel like the people who work there feel more accountable for their work than the big chains.
Just got a major break job done on my E250 great job and prices.
Jake is awesome and very kind. The quality of work that takes place with my vehicle is top notch. The prices are excellent and you will be satisfied. My car is in great condition because of the technicians at Stus Transmission!
Absolutely the best mechanic work I have every seen. Best prices and everyone is so nice and lets you know exactly whats going on with your car at all times. Do yourself a favor and contact Jake. You wont regret it.
Good & well experience Mechanics. They work on my 94 Blazer & feels like a brand new truck. Thanks Jake & his crew, very appreciated.. 5+ STARS ..
Spent multiple days researching and reading reviews of a shop that can fix my blown mt82 transmission. These guys had the most positive reviews and almost non existent negative reviews. They have been around for a LONG time and their lot had a variety of cars telling me they can work on any car. My car was fixed in a quick matter and with their own warranty and guarantee when done. If you always wanted a go to shop or always wanted to tell a friend I have a guy, this is your place.
I am so blessed to have found Stus Transmission, I lived in that area for38 years but never went to them. I heard many good things about Stus but until my transmission went out I then looked them up. Out of all the research that I did on transmission repair shops every review I read was about trust, honesty, integrity, quality and care. This made the decision easy for me. I chose Stus and I am so happy I did. They live up to the reviews and more. If you want quality work, honesty and integrity go see Tim and Jake. They are the best.
I’m just so happy to have found this place... definitely it is more than 5 stars. Jake is the best. He knows how to explain car things to girls! So if you do not know anything about cars this is your place. Price is right and excellent work. I’ll always bring my car to him.
Great family and great work. Never have to go back for the same thing twice. On the pricy side though. I have had my work van fix there as well as my personal vehicle as well. My buddy gets much of his high profile truck done there and referred me.
Busy Shop been at the location for a long time. Have had my personal truck and work trucks repaired. Will use them in the future.
JEEP SRT8 fixed on 1/2021 At first i taught it was my transmission but after talking to jake he explained the whole procedure and lucky for me they were honest about the actual problem my truck had. If i would of took it somewhere else they problaby would of said it was the transmission and would of charge me double the price. I would highly recommend them. My problem was the transfer case on my jeep srt8. Havent had a problem ever since. I am about to take in my other truck for service there too 👍🏼💯
Brought my car to this shop waited till about almost 3pm to advise me that they werent capable to do this project which consisted of adding modified brake parts.(it wasnt essential to add those parts I mainly needed my brakes checked out which was made clear. ) I was then told of another shop that could do the job ! I had no qualms with this, where the problem arose is when I arrived to check on my car to decide what I wanted to do I was told to take it to that shop down the street ! My point is that I understood that the modifications couldnt be done but I initially just bought my car there to have the brakes fixed and then I was pawned off to another shop ! Who does this I felt completely slighted especially after spending over 1600 dollars a couple of days before on another job on a different vehicle. The the main issue I had was that he didnt have any concern whatsoever for my safety after I had mentioned several times about my faulty brakes to at least as a courtesy offer a tow to the shop that he pawned my off on a real stand up guy.😏😒
What a great find this shop is. Their knowledge and experience in all areas of auto maintenance and repair is second to none. I have a 2002 Tahoe with 237,000 miles that continues to service me very well. I normally take the Tahoe along with a list of squawks to one of a few different local auto shops every 3000 to 4000 miles. Which shop would depend on the nature of the squawk/s. About 6 weeks ago I had what I thought was likely a transmission issue which I really didnt trust to my list of shops so went looking on-line for a transmission place. I found Stus and liked the reviews I read so gave it a go. The short of it is that they did a complete diagnostic health check of the total vehicle. That health check revealed that what I thought might be a transmission problem was really a mis-firing problem that occurred under load and that the transmission was working just fine with no issues. Their diagnostics also identified other more minor issues that I was not detecting but should be addressed since my goal is to keep the Tahoe running as good as I can as long as I can. I cannot report how very satisfying it is to have found a shop that I can trust to honestly diagnose the health of my autos and keep them good repair without having to monitor them. This is truly a shop that I trust has enough honesty and expertise to tell my wife to just take your car to them and do whatever they say needs be done and trust that they will know what issues might need attention and fix them, and by the way at a very very fair price and with the best available parts. I will be back for sure.
Great place reliable, Koko very nice and kind.
I love this place. I had them work on my 2008 honda accord. My brakes were locked up. They fixed it quickly and I have had no problems since. This place is family owned and very nice . 6 stars
Always reliable and trustworthy, recommend getting any repairs done
Too early to tell just took my truck in today and they need pull the transmission and work on.
Great service and affordable prices. Best repairs for Land Rovers Range Rovers. I will come back and will definitely recommend to my friends.
I was having trouble with AAMCO, so I towed my car here where I met with Jake and he was very friendly and understanding. Before coming here I spoke with Jose and explained to him that AAMCO said I had to get a new transmission or a rebuild. My D5 light was blinking after I had my mechanic fixed my rear main seal. Jose said it sounded like an electrical problem, that he would need my car for 1-2 days to find the problem. Two days later I get a call stating I had a broken cord that led to my transmission. He fixed it, he saved me from replacing a transmission that didnt need to ne replaced. I highly recommend this to anyone. Thank all of you for all of your help. I will be coming back if I have ever have a problem I cant figure out.
I finally found a spot where I can bring my vehicle and trust that its in good hands! Not only do they do a thorough job but they are fair in prices. They look out for you and my vehicle has never been in better shape since I brought it in. Great people that do their best!
Stus AE Transmission has been in business for over 60 years but this is the first time I ever brought a vehicle there. My 2005 Jeep generated a Transmission Over Temp light a couple weeks ago. I took it to my normal service guy and he said he didnt do transmission work. He referred me to somewhere else but, I remembered Stus, having grown up just down the street from this facility. I took my vehicle there, explained that problem plus 3 other issues I was having. Tim was very patient and really listened to me. He never made me feel that my questions or concerns were stupid and explained all the technical car stuff in terms I could understand. I really thought he would say that I needed a whole transmission but, he said NO... lets try some less extensive (and less expensive) options first. Stus was able to fix all my issues for a very reasonable cost. Although my car was there a while as they are extremely busy, they called several times proactively to let me know what was going on. I said no hurry since I had another car and told them to take whatever time they needed. I will definitely be bringing the Jeep back to Stus for any other maintenance needs since they are NOT just transmissions. Also, Tim gave me the hint that my Jeep was probably good for 180,000 more miles IF I started using better gasoline! I would Definitely recommend that you bring your car to Stus for any vehicle maintenance.
Very happy with the service. They were quick to take me in and get working on the car. I needed the a valve module in the transmission. They were conservative with the job and didn’t jump straight to a transmission rebuild. I have a crazy schedule that they worked with. I had just one day off, and had the car back the following day before I flew out. The shifts are smooth, and clean, barely noticeable. I had a little scare on the freeway when the car was holding 3rd way too long. I called them, and they explained what had to happen next with the car remapping and getting driving habits.Now it’s just a matter of the car’s computers remapping, pondering and discussing. Best of all was $200 less than the estimate.
These guys really saved me. Re-built my transmission for significantly less than other quotes I got and did it in about a week! They were super helpful and did really great work. Their re-built trans feels great!
I rarely take the time to write a company a review unless they truly deserve it for....It is very hard to find an honest, and trustworthy auto shop or any type of shop for that matter. Every auto shop I’ve been to, I’ve felt like a number where the company is just trying to get you in and out and they have a half qualified high school kid turning a wrench. I can honestly say Stu’s is one of the best auto shops I’ve come across. They thoroughly listened to all the problems with my car, took care of every problem, and included pictures and all the old parts to show me what work was done, and it was at a reasonable rate. Thank you Stus for realizing that quality of work and customer service is the center of a successful business.
This was my first visit, and I thought the service provided was professional and friendly. Theyve been around since 1950, so they must be doing something right.
I have had the pleasure of getting two (2) separate vehicles Transmissions rebuilt at Stu’s and cannot say enough about how fantastic it is to work with this great group of people! The work has been great and our vehicles are running like new! These are honest folks that earn your trust by providing expert testing to see what the problems are and an accurate accessment of what is needed to restore like-new performance to your vehicle. I recommend Stu’s to friends and relatives if they are in need of quality service in a timely manner.Sincerely, Dave C.
Honest and fair. I brought my deceased Dads old Chevy Truck and wanted it restored and they treated me and the truck with care. I highly recommend this shop.
Had these guys do a bunch of work on my 67 c10. They rebuilt my rear end super fast and cheaper than the rest. Had no problems what so ever. They also had to replace my front and rear main seals on the motor. Since I already have a work truck I had them take their time. They did an amazing job. No leaks. They fixed an exhaust leak for free. Love these guys. Thanks Tim.
The customer service provided by Tim was top notch. He was very pleasant and helpful. Answered all my questions as well as bringing other things to my attention that gave me a better understanding of the trouble I was having with my SUV. The fleet services from my work recommended Stus, they send our work vehicles there. Im very satisfied with the work done on my transmission. The performance exceded my expectations. I came here based on both my co-workers recommendation and the very positive customer reviews. I live about twenty minutes away, but would be more than willing to drive an hour and twenty. Obviously I would recommend Stus.
The first time I went to Stu Auto I had gotten an estimate from a near by repair place. They told me it would cost $120. Then I went to Stu Auto and he fixed it for $30 dollars.He never tries to up-sale. Other than regular maintenance he doesnt fix it unless its broken.First mechanic Ive ever really trusted. Thanks Stu!
I lived in long beach for 50 years & always drove by stus not knowing how good their mechanics were. So when my trans started to go out I decided to go there. Its hard to find an honest & great mechanic.nowadays. thats why I gave them 5 stars
This shop takes pride in their workmanship. The follow-up proves they care about their work and puts them ahead of most independently owned shops. My car was repaired in a timely manner and I am p,eased with the results. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
The place has a family feel--a good family, that is. Were comfortable with their workmanship and integrity. Weve been but a couple of times, but we trust them, and their prices seem reasonable. Wish their hours were a little later, but maybe they have a family life at home, too--so not complaining.
Great service! My truck rear end is like new again. I will be using the facility again . ILL will also recommend you to take your vehicle there. Jake and his DAD are very good people.
Honest work, good prices. Will be coming here for my transmission needs.
I was VERY impressed with Stus -- I was hesitant about going to someone I didnt know but when my car was having trouble in Long Beach, far from where I live, I didnt have much of a choice. Yet, as soon as I met Tim, I felt at ease and that I could trust them. Not only did Tim kindly explain what was wrong and could be wrong with my car by filtering it through my car-savvy boyfriend, he also told us a few tricks to using insurance if my car DID end up needing a new transmission (it didnt thankfully). A few discounts later and I feel like I received a very fair price for the work that was done. Although I live in Santa Monica, I would consider taking my car here in the future.
Tim and Jake are very knowledgeable, kept me up dated on whats was going on with my vehicle and explained everyhing thoroughly, very friendly atmosphere will be happy to tell anyone to go there and by the way the car is running just great.
Came in without an appointment for a tail light that was out and the staff immediately accommodated me and only charged me $20!! Fast quick no nonsense. Highly recommend
I Ed and spoke with a CSR about what K need plus the CSR informed me to go to the shop bcs he is not understanding the trans part I am requesting.I called to Trans Team and the CSR said they had the trans part for several dollars.
Great prices. They found me an almost-new transmission in Las Vegas, had it shipped here next-day, and installed it for only $3,000.Fast service. Another shop told me it would take a week. Stus was only 3 days (which saved me money on a rental car)Experienced mechanics. The guy that worked on my truck has 40 years experience working on transmissions.Most of all, theyre an honest shop, that wont sell you what you dont need. Rare these days.What else could you ask for? They will be my go-to shop from now on. (And Im 80 miles away!). Thanks Jake.
Just took my Tahoe with a hard shift between 1st and 2nd. They were friendly and found a cheaper fix (other places would try to get more). Honestly is something rare. I highly recommend
These guys did a wonderful job replacing my clutch! They came highly recommended by a trusted family friend and they did not disappoint. Fast, reliable and reasonably priced!
I have known about Stus since I was very young. My dad was a self-taught mechanic and did most everything on our cars and many friends cars as well. However, he always went to Stus when a transmission needed a rebuild. When I started driving and needed transmission work, he told me to take it to them. When a trusted mechanic refers you, you know you can trust the recommendation! My dad passed away 13 years ago and Ive been bouncing from mechanic to mechanic with no small amount of frustration. Then I learned that Stus now does much, much more than transmissions! After more than 40 years, the staff still doesnt disappoint! Tim and Jake go above and beyond to make sure things are done right and in a timely manner. On one occasion, Jake and the mechanic who was working on my sons car stayed late so they could keep the promised delivery date. My son had to get back to his Marine Base so we were really up against a wall with time. They came through like the champions they are. I especially love that they take the time to explain in detail what is going on. I worked on cars with my dad when I was younger and there are few things that irritate me more than an attitude of You just wouldnt understand, little lady. You will NEVER experience that here!! Thanks to all the staff for all that you do! It is good to have finally found a place and people I can trust like family!
I drop my 1979 k5 blazer. The truck been siting up for years. So I took it to stus. The work is Amazing. Far price and Jake and Tim is Very knowledgeable and great customer service I advise anybody to go to Stu s for work.
Quick and cost effective service.
Best Transmission Shop in Long Beach/ South L.A. Honest, fair, and the best VALUE for the dollar you can get. Reliable diagnostics and professional service, with a polite and friendly atmosphere (once you found a parking spot - they are always busy).
I am so Glad to have my truck back hip- hip- hooray I am all 😆thank to StusAE Transmission in North Long Beach they get the job done Fast !!! it feels so good to know that God still have honest people that love their work I was led by faith this place is amazing cant thank them enough.. The best experience was being introduced to his son as one of Gods children, so I will definitely be back and I will pass along this information to anyone that need their transmission done thank you, thank you, thank you, your hospitality was it great God bless. Stylist Ms Beverly @Hair explosion Salon in Lbc.
They know what they are doing. They are quick and very fairly priced. My Cooper 2011 runs like new.
Tim and Jake and the crew are the best! They are honest, Always serve with precise work, and have very fair prices. And for that Im a lifetime customer. Thanks guys.
Good guys! Fast, quality, honest work. They are really there to help, not just take your money. If you want your car to get cared for, not just wrenched on, bring it to Timbo over at Stus
These guys came highly recommended when the transmission went out in my 97 f-350 and with good reason they take the time to make sure its done right and they even got me an amazing deal on a rental while my truck was down I dont think I have ever had a smoother or more pleasant trip to a mechanic shop and my truck is driving like its brand new with 350k on it Tim you and your guys are awesome thank you
Ive been a happy Stus customer since 2010 and through two different vehicles - Im thrilled to have finally found what I believe to be a competent mechanic in this area after having been so disappointed with Pep Boys for a very long time.Finding an auto shop that you trust is just a nightmare for most of us, so I really cant say enough about how great Tim Giffin is to deal with. I go there for EVERYTHING now, even oil changes. Literally, no one touches anything under the hood of my car now other than Tims guys.Stus AE does all the mechanic work for the Long Beach Police Dept, so you know theyre good.So, my advice is that if it has wheels - take it to Tim.
Had a great experience, jake was very helpful and the techs did a great job swapping my differential and now my car feels great, transmission wise, but either way fully recommend this place they will fix you right up and get you going.
Awesome service very honest and reasonable Ive been going there for years and just had the transmission done on my f 150...as always Perfect!
We have been going to Stus sense the 60s, before it was a full service garage, and the honesty, care and fair cost will keep us and other family members going there. As a woman, I appreciate that Tim has always taken the time to explain any questions I have. Thank you Stus!!
Blue Nissan Altima....Reasonable prices,They were very knowledgable of my Car problem...Amazing Customer Service..Efficient...They made me feel welcomed....I would reccomend them to anyone that has issues with their car....I am a Very Highly Satisfied Customer....My Car runs better that ithas in a long time....I love this place 😊
Very professional honest people Good customer service very good price very recommended place to take your car !!!!
Great customer service! My 1992 truck has never ran this good.Thank you very much,Russ & Christine
Once again Excellent Services. They have continued to provided excellent services where my car runs like new.
It really does not get any better than Stus AE Transmission. The owner, Tim, is a great guy. Very honest and upfront and you leave your car knowing that it will get taken well care of. Unfortunately my clutch was absolutely SHOT so I went in knowing it wasnt going to be a cheap job. I didnt do any shopping around, I relied on reviews I read from a couple of sources, and Stus stood out on top everytime. I also like that I was told my car would be ready the next day, and I got a call the next day telling me to come pick it up! Im very happy with the service I received here. Hopefully Ill not have a need to return, but if I need more work done Ill know where to go!
Lots of experience here, will definitely use them again. Thanks guys
Full rebuild on a 1964 C4 ford automatic, only 3 days in the shop and now drives great! no more 15 minute warm up sessions. These guys are no BS and they know old cars.
They are simply the best and most affordable car repair shop I have dealt with since my father Lewis Hall Jr was alive. My dad told me of this shop when I was a kid. Then it did not matter to me, now it does. Thanks Dad and thanks to Stu’s AE Transmission Complete Auto Repair.
I had an excellent overall experience with Stus. Tim provided great customer service and was very helpful in explaining the process along the way. I will be returning for any future repairs my vehicle needs.
I was referred to Stu by a friend of mine great guys very knowledgeable these are my go to mechanics for now I differently recommend going here for all your auto needs 👍
The best auto shop period !! Jake was such a great help. No hidden fees, he kept me update with all he was doing to my car, and now it runs great, thank u so much for the great service !!
They were super nice and made my ride that has 249,000 miles on run like a new car thanks Tim Thanks Jake
Last week I took my 20 year old Ford 150 for basic service and as usual all went well. A couple years back they solved a problem in my manual transmission that I thought I would have to just deal with and they did it not knowing it was a problem, just performing a general maintenance service on the system. This week I had a broken clip near my clutch pedal and they took a half hour out of their busy schedule; I mean every lift had a car and every parking spot taken; and replaced that clip, shook my hand, and said, Have a nice day. If you want to have a nice day, take your car to Stus.
Family owned business I was visiting my son in California my clutch pedal broke they got my vehicle in right away and fixed it next day early enough for me to drive back to Arizona reasonably priced great service honest and upfront. I would highly recommend this place.
Good customer service. Knowledgeable and honest.
Stus AE Transmissions is more than just transmissions! I hadthem build up a Saginaw 4 speed for a Camaro many years ago and they did a tremendous job. A friend mentioned some auto work he had them do recentlrecentlypaid them a visit. Long story short, they are the only place that listened to my concerns. My big Chevy had two disintegrated lifters and 3 bent push rods! Now its quiet as a mouse and runs like a top! Thanks, guys! Youre awesome!Samuel M. King
Like the shop. They are honest and do a good job. I had my transmission rebuilt and my daughter did to. They used to only do transmissions but now they do all repairs.
Great service, and lowest prices for transmission service
I found Stus AE Transmission through Yelp.I was hearing a humming noise from 15mph+, so I started doing research on the internet. I narrowed the problem down to two things: either a bad wheel bearing, or a rear differential.I first went here in January, and they couldnt figure it out just yet. They told me to come back when the noise gets louder. They told me for the time being, it is safe to drive.Fast forward to June, I took it in and had them check it out. Tim had George go on a test drive with me. George told me what was wrong, and gave me an explanation to back up what he had said. He told me that while the vehicle is moving, and with the key turned off, the sound would go away if the rear differential was bad. If the sound was there, then its a bad wheel bearing.When we got back to the shop, I told Tim that I will bring it in a few days later; I needed to drive to work. He told me to refrain from driving it much longer, just in case it does fail. I dropped off my truck a few days later, had George drop me off back home, came back before they closed, and now Im a satisfied customer.Although transmissions seem to be their specialty, they do handle most of everything else. I would definitely recommend them to people I know.
Very Professional, Very Pleased With The Service Done To My VW Jetta Transmission, Saved Me Alot Of Money That Other Shops Wanted To Charge Me. Thanks, Will Be Servicing My Car With You Guys From Now On.
I used an outside service (Repairsmith) to find out about them. They performed the service I needed in just about an hour including waiting for the part I needed.I hope your service (whatever it may be) goes well too!
I lived in Long Beach for fifty years and used Stus faithfully over the years, and still use their service when I return to Long Beach to visit my grandkids. I live in Colorado, but that does not keep me from using Stus.
I am very pleased with Tim and his staff here! I took my Nissan Xterra 2006 in to him when my car was overheating and I was very stressed out at the time and he was so nice and reassuring about fixing my vehicle in a efficient and timely manner. Tim and his team here found all the problems with my Xterra and had my car running great at the end of this experience! His prices are good and the work is more than sound! He is honest and upfront with all your car needs! I sold my Xterra and felt great about the mechanical condition it was in and bought myself a new Nissan! Now I am going to Tim regularly for my oil changes and maintenance! I will forever be a customer here! Thanks guys for always taking care of me!
From the moment I walked in, there were friendly smiles and hand shakes to greet me. Tim and Jacob were very helpful, their team Koko and his other crew member were able to find the rattling noise problem on my 2013 maxima and pin point it was coming from the transmission. Tim sat with me and explained the options and made great recomendations at a good price. What really made me say I came to the right place was when Tim the owner called me on his day off to check if I had any other questions regarding the work of the car and promised to call and inform me on the status as it was developing. He was true to his word and kept me informed. I picked up my car today and I am really satisfied with the work, my car shifts beautiful and with no noise. Thanks Tim and crew for all your help. You now have a new loyal customer and Im only having my cars worked on by your team!
Excellent customer service and top notch would highly recommend .
Excellent customer service. The job ended up being cheaper than the quote.
Great service, great communication, did exactly what was expected and would highly recommend to anyone.
Top service at a competitive rate. Very busy at times, so there can be a wait.
Stus AE Transmission is awesome. I would highly recommend going there if you have any transmission issues.I had my 1995 Volkswagen Winnebago Rialta towed over 30 miles to get to Stus, as this shop came highly recommended. Most shops wouldnt even take on the job of repairing the transmission on my Rialta, but Stus stepped up to the plate.Not only is it a difficult task to rebuild the transmission on a foreign RV body, the problem is also compounded by the fact that parts are hard to come by for a 20 year old RV. Stus did a fantastic job on the rebuild --the car drives smoother than it was when I first bought it; they also installed an aftermarket cooler!Price was better than any other shop that I considered — and they have a 3 year warranty.Also, they do other auto work in addition to transmissions...Ive been having a problem with coolant leaks recently in my Volkswagen, and Stus has patched me up and even gave me a great deal because I had to bring it back a few times due to old hoses giving out. Tim @ Stus transmissions is knowledgable, as well as a very fair and honest guy.I highly recommend Stus!
Wonderful Communication and handling my Insurance Claim to rebuild my transmission.
Such a nice Family run business... people you can trust, which is hard in this industry.
Fair prices and quality service. Tim takes care of business by doing an inspection and giving you a list of what needs to be done now and what can wait a while.
Best place to take your vehicle
Great service and quality work.
Fair pricing...family run...quality work
Im a 1st time customer I had a oil leak I brought it to Stus working with Tim was joy he took break care of me, I do not wish for any more problems But if I had any I will definitely come back
Honest and fair. Always good work!
Today, I called and spoke with Robert about an issue with my car. The suggestion he made was the one that was best for me. Although I have not (yet) personally gone to Stu’s AE Transmission Complete Auto Repair, I highly recommend them based on this experience.
We only trust stus to repair our fleet vehicles........city of long beach fleet service👍
Great to have service my ride. Thanks.
I have an 03 VW. The transmission went out. I took it to a friends mechanic and had a very bad, costly experience. I finally found Stus. The car was repaired right, the first time, at the cost that was quoted. I couldnt ask for better service.
Stus rebuilt the transmission in my 2007 F350 diesel. The transmission lasted 2 yrs and less then 40,000 miles. I took it in less then a week before it blow up again and they couldnt or wouldnt diagnose the problem. Said it was out of warranty.
There for a simple alignment, they seemed understaffed so I had to keep calling but definitely ran well after. Price was well underneath what dealer asked.
There is a reason its called transmissions. I would stay away if you need anything else fixed.
The dealer wanted me to put. In a rebuilt Trans, for just under $4000.00. I went to Stus and they replaced a sensor off and running, for $700.00 😛
