Israel’s Transmissions

I’ve had two separate vehicles with transmissions problems, took the first one, my Yukon in and it came out like brand new, they were so genuine and nice that I took my Explorer to get fixed as well. It’s hard finding an honest mechanic shop so I recommend this one for sure.

Took my Cadillac CTS into Israel’s because I needed new breaks a couple months back and I was referred to this shop by a fellow co-​worker. It was a little of a drive for me since I live in summerlin but it was totally worth it. I thought I was going to need to replace the pads and the plates but turns out he used the old plates I had already on there and had them shaved down so they were even and smooth again. As that was happening we went across the street to the Autozone and bought new break pads to put on. It took a few hours total but the owner was kind enough to let me wait there and watch tv in the office and even bought me lunch while I was waiting!
Everything is great with my breaks, so far so good and it definitely saved me money not having to replace the plates. I appreciate the honesty and I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone needing work on their car. It’s hard to find a good repair shop that’s not making up stuff or not really fixing the problem and not being truthful so as far as my experience went, it was great.

This is a piece of shit shop do not take your car or truck there they will rip you off I took my Escalade there four times under one year and still the same problem once again piece of shit shop

The unfortunate thing with transmission problems is that you have to take the maintenance shop at their word on what is going on. I have taken my truck to Israel’s before and when I got it back everything worked so in my mind, all is good. It’s been a few years and just recently my clutch pedal would go all the way to the floor and stay there. My thought was that the slave cylinder (on my truck it’s inside the tranny) because there was nothing else pointing towards anything more. From Israel’s I was quoted $ 495 plus parts. I did check another shop but they wouldn’t take my vehicle for a few days. Israel’s has my truck for a day and they tell me my clutch, throw out bearing and such is bad as well as the slave cylinder. Like I said, nothing previously pointed towards a bad clutch because when it did work I had no problems shifting etc. I will say maybe it’s my fault for not taking a drive to the shop to verify what’s going on but I authorized the repair nonetheless. They call a day later and say all is ready. Problem #1 They only accept cash (more of an inconvenience than anything else) Problem #2 After I pay I get in the truck and the transmission will not shift into gear. The owner gets in, grinds it for a bit, then pumps the clutch several times and rolls it off the lift. Some communication in Spanish between the owner and worker took place. I was told that I will need to continually pump the clutch until everything is broken in. Yeahhhhh. My thought is that when the work was done nobody took it for a test drive to verify all was in working order and basically parked it. Problem # 3 After paying a grand for this they charge me $ 10 for parking!!! I picked my truck up at noon the day after they called me… and they called me when the shop was closing. All may have been on the up and up but I’m thinking things could have been a ton better.
