Pro Trans Transmission Specialists

«If I could give this place 0 stars, I would» I saw that phrase all the time on Unilocal but it wasn’t until I came to this place, that I knew the feeling.
After a service light came on, I decided to take my car to this place, because I wanted the mechanic to take a closer look. They said that they may know the issue but that they found more issues while searching. The final price being a minimum of $ 400 dollars and then several charges on top off that. Also because «work» had already been done on car, they charged me before I could even get my car back. All in all, I paid $ 1800 before I was completely fed up with them.
A month later I took my car to a trusted shop in Maryland and the mechanic mentioned that somebody unplugged some fuses and rigged some things, triggering the light and other issues. The mechanic in Maryland fixed it for $ 16 while I was getting an oil change.

Pro-​Trans Specialists were awesome from the beginning. It all started with failing brakes. They explain everything that they are doing to your car and even why it would fail. They do not fabricate numbers and charges out of thin air. After the brake job, I took my car there to replace a clutch because I’ve got a lead foot and sometimes pretend my car is a racer (it’s not). Since then, I’ve always taken my car to Pro-​Trans for any problems I encounter while in State College! Thank you so much for your hard work and service.

Pro Trans is officially THE spot for any sort of transmission/​clutch issues that you may have.
Let me begin by saying that I have never owned a car with automatic transmission, so I really can’t speak to those types of repairs, but the work they’ve done on my manual was excellent. We brought the car here to have the clutch replaced. Typically, I go in to car places with my defensive Italian tough-​girl attitude («Yea? You think my car needs that? Well, my cousin Paulie says…») because I hate getting either a) gouged or b) looked down upon because I have two X chromosomes, but it was sooo unnecessary in ProTrans. These guys are not only very easy to work with, but there was no gouging or down-​talking. They are good about only fixing what NEEDS to be fixed (at first glance, they thought that the clutch may not need to be replaced, and were looking in to a $ 40 repair, which was refreshing). The mechanic took the time to go everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that had to be done to the car (including giving us the old clutch so I could call the dealer and bitch about it wearing out because it wasn’t set properly) and also asked if we had questions or concerns before leaving. They also have a great warranty policy, and require a 500 mile free «check-​in/​check-​up» to make sure everything is running smoothly after a big repair (I’d like to note that we’re currently on 1200 miles and things are just peachy!). I must say, I am highly impressed with both the work and the service that I got here.
If you need any sort of major work done on your car here in SC, I’d recommend ProTrans without hesitation.
