I was deployed to the area for military duty and needed a repair in order to return home. Mic and Kevin went out of their way to welcome me to the shop and get me back on my way. Highly recommend them. Master Chief USCG

We had a transmission rebuild on one of our work trucks. The new part failed and they got the truck back in and rebuilt the transmission again at no additional cost. Fair price and good work. I would highly recommend them.

I was told by another mechanic that my 2000 Dodge Dakota needed a new transmission. Before junking the otherwise decent truck, I called Gary, and he said to bring it in as the symptoms did not sound like a mechanical issue.He found the Speed sensor was bad, and happened to have one on the shelf. Very reasonable price, very friendly and great customer service.Very glad to have the truck back in working order

Total mess. Paid almost 4000 and it blew the next day. This was after waiting a month and a half for a transmission.

Very professional experience from the initial phone call until the time I picked up my repaired transmission. Staff is very experienced and knowledgeable and the price was the best in the entire area. I was updated multiple times during the whole process. I highly recommend these guys and they will get all my future transmission disasters.

Great transmission shop you can trust these guys to not give you the run around. Honest mechanics. You can trust them with your car in their hands.

I recently had my transmission rebuilt by these guys and they were awesome! I told them I was heading for Florida in a couple days so they wanted me to drive the car around for about a hundred miles and come back so they could check things out. So I did and when I returned they found something that wasnt right. They asked if I could wait while they addressed the issue. Gary, the owner, kept me company while I waited and when they got done I was so happy to hear them say no charge! The car ran great on the way to Florida...thank you so much for your hard work!

After getting the run around from Green Hyundai (they had my SUV for a month) someone suggested I get my transmission fixed elsewhere. I called a couple of garages, one never called me back and the other said they send all their transmission work to these guys. I called them and had a quote within the hour. They gave me the number of a tow company that got my car across town fast and cheap. The part was ordered on Monday and was to be delivered on Thursday or Friday. I assumed I would get it the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Nope! They called Friday morning and said it was done. Fast, friendly, and my transmission has a one year warranty for parts and labor.

This business is a class act! They went out of their way to help me even tho my vehicle didn’t need their services. You just don’t see kindness like this anymore. I would highly recommend calling them if you need transmission service!

Seems like good dudes. They have a dyno for testing transmissions. Not every transmission shop has one of those.

This shop is awesome. We were having transmission problems and were referred to Irwin by Wilkerson’s. As soon as we pulled in they were accommodating and looked at the car immediately. They were so nice! As soon as they knew what the problem was, they told us to make sure our car still wasn’t covered under warranty. We thought this was an exceptional display of integrity and honesty on their part. They definitely did not have to tell us about that. They also let us keep our car in their lot for a few days while we figured it all out. If our car wasn’t still covered, this is the place I’d be happy to be. Nobody is ever happy when their car breaks down - especially when it’s the transmission - but we will be happy from now on knowing we have a place in town we know we can trust!

My sons car broke down while attending college down in Springfield. We had the car towed to Irwin & Dunbar for what we thought would be a transmission issue. Once they put the car on the rack, they noticed the undercarriage to be severely corroded and unworthy of a transmission replacement. Gary called me and told me the bad news. Its honesty, integrity and professionalism like this that are missing in our world today. Gary (the owner) saved me thousands of dollars and warned me of a potentially very dangerous issue with my car. This is a trustworthy business worthy of your attention.

What I like about this place is I feel like you get straight talk and they will back up their work. My experience hasnt been about up charges and hidden fees. I will take my vehicles here every time I have an issue with a transmission.

I was so glad to meet Gary at the shop who responded to the problem on my car with confidence, kindness, and great support from his team. No diagnostic fee on inspection and test-drive. I will definitely visit the shop when I have another transmission issue agian. Thank you so much!

My kids and I were four hours from home on a Sunday afternoon when the transmission failed. While waiting for the tow truck, Id scoured Yelp & Google for reviews to help advise where the car should go. The tow driver recommended Irwin & Dunbar. I read the one review and rolled the dice. Then I rented a car and we made it home.On Monday morning I called to check in. Gary called me back before noon. He said I should go grab a lottery ticket since luck seems to be on my side. Stranded along Interstate 55 for a few hours didnt feel a whole lot like luck, but finding Irwin & Dunbar sure feels like a blessing.Im four hours away and highly skeptical of most garages. I was deeply worried that theyd rake me over the coals. I spent the entire drive home and night imagining that Id be replacing the transmission. Gary explained that I had a blown cooling line. They fixed it, checked the codes, tested the transmission and charged me a really fair price for the work.This morning I feel really blessed that all I needed was a relatively minor repair. I feel blessed that the tow truck driver made the recommendation. I also feel compelled to share that the folks at Irwin & Dunbar earned a great review for their speed, fairness, and honesty. Thank you!

I had recently bought a new car and had some concerns. I brought it in and these guys are the friendliest. Im not knowledgeable on cars, but they took the time to explain what concerns they had. They not only checked my car, but followed up a few weeks later to make sure I still wasnt having any problems. Great customer service. Would highly recommend!

After they checked my car they made sure I understand what what was wrong with it. Also found some codes on it and explained those to me. Very pleased in how they worked with me. Have my car scheduled to be fixed.

Review №37

The owner, and all his guys were great, They took the transmission out of my 06 chevy 2500hd 4x4 for a total rebuild, but only after they hooked it up to a diagnostic computer and drove it to get all the info they could, no guess work. They found a couple of other issues ( worn flywheel teeth and worn starter drive gear ) while they had it apart and called me right away to keep me informed and make suggestions as to the best way to take care of the problem. I already knew what to do...if its bad, replace it while its off the truck, but i really appreciated that they called me about it. My truck is back on the road, and drives very nice now.
