Globe Automatic Transmissions

horrendous. got a rebuilt transmission from them 6 months ago (which, if done right according to Vito can last forever). it’s died 4 times. can’t tell you how much this has cost me in lost work, tow trucks, rentals.

Vito Is The Best!!!
No one more honest.
He has done every vehicle I’ve had that needed a transmission so far and NEVER had to do it again (I’ve had trannys rebuilt before I met him and only to have to do it again after a year)
Mercedes 420sel: Atleast 12 years ago and to this day I start it up and the tranny is the part i never question.
TBird 4cyl turbo: No one would touch it and he got it going (Mercur xtrati tranny).
Windstar: (one of the worst Ford trannys out there) Vito took his time with it and made it perfect, thank You!
Even my Bus: 6.5 Turbo Diesel w/​4l80E Chevy Tranny (Very Big): Shifts Flawlessly, Goes into Gear like Butter!
Countless more advice and assistance with many other vehicles that saved me from needing a replacement.
Recommended (I very rarely recommend anyone) to many clients (DO NOT BRING TO ANYONE ELSE): Always returned to me with a thank you and happiness with dealing Him.
If he has the availability, Have him do it & Thank you Vito for Years of good experiences.
You can contact me at anytime to confirm my review

Pete from Pit Stop in Bay Ridge has moved here!
If you look at my Pit Stop review you will realize why this is now the place to take your car. He’s reliable and honest, which is all you could ask for in a mechanic.
This new location is in a busier spot so it might be harder to find at first, but he said he will eventually change the Globe sign and put his signature Pit Stop sign up with the red race car.
Check this place out if you are close to Sunset Park or Borough Park!

Really great, trust worthy shop! I had problems w/​my truck. I did do a lot of research before I brought it in to try to trouble shoot it myself. I asked them to take a look at it for me & that if it was a tranny issue that I was gonna junk it bc it was gonna be more than the truck’s worth. They had it a few days and gave me a call back. They told me it was the vacuum modulator that was shot. This was one of the things I thought it may have been. Man I was happy. I can’t say enough about how honest and genuinely nice Vito is! Ask for him, I believe he’s the owner. I would definitely recommend this place, and will go back if I have another issue.

My regular mechanic noticed a leaking rear main engine oil seal as well as a leaking oil pan seal in my recently-​bought 2009 model car. The job was too big for him to handle– the transmission would have to be pulled– but he warned me that it was a «big job» and could cost into four-​figure territory. When I asked for recommendations on a shop to do the work, Globe Transmissions and the owner Vito were recommended very highly. Not having any better options (and after reading a couple of reviews on Unilocal) I decided to give it a shot.
I brought my car in around 9 AM on Thursday (I called first). By about noon that day, Vito called me with the news– as my regular mechanic had observed, I had two leaking oil seals (including the dreaded rear main seal). We talked through the estimate on the phone and I OK’d him to begin work.
By about 2:30 PM on Friday (the next day), my car was done. The total was exactly the number he quoted in the estimate– here’s the kicker: it was FAR below the range my original mechanic said I should expect to pay– about half of the top number in the speculated price range.
Vito and Globe Transmission shop offered honest, fast service at a reasonable price. My oil leaks are fixed, and while it’s never fun to be on the hook for big $$$ car repair, I feel grateful that I was able to connect with a shop that didn’t mess me around, take advantage of my situation, or do any funny business.
Highly recommended.

I’ve been going to globe transmission for many years. They’ve serviced various cars and SUV’s that I’ve owned. They’ve surprised me on a number of occassions. My most recent experience came when my SUV was having problems shifting out of first gear. I thought for sure the transmission needed to be changed. Vito called me and told me it was a minor adjustment that needed to be made, and made the repair. Made my day!
When I picked up the vehicle another customer came in and had a similar problem. Again, Vito advised that it was really just an an adjustment that needed to be made. He could have easily sold us both a new transmission, as we were both expecting just that.
It’s been over a month and the SUV is running with no issues.
I give Vito and Globe high marks for their honesty, good work, and reasonable prices.

My mechanic recommended Globe when a warning light indicated my transmission was slipping. Globe reset the computer, test drove my car, and said me everything was fine. They said the alert was probably triggered by slipping in ice.
Globe did everything promptly, courteously, and they didn’t charge me a cent, since they said nothing was wrong. You can’t beat that kind of customer service.

My car transmission broke. I heard a loud metallic sound, then I could no longer drive in reverse. My car is low mileage, so all I needed was a part fixed, not a transmission overhaul (a few years ago, with another low-​mileage car, I got tricked into one… an expensive mistake)
I was happy to find Globe Automatic Transmissions, which was nearby my home and had a good rating on an Internet site. Vito, the owner, correctly diagnosed the problem (a broken band) and gave me an estimate over the phone. They were open for drop-​offs on Saturday (no losing time away from work) and he fixed the same week as promised. The total cost? $ 850 plus tax, which was reasonable for transmission work.
