Dyno-Trans Transmission

Highly recommended for transmission service!
Steve is the man! My wife’s favorite Honda Element had a transmission problem that required a rebuild. We went to several area mechanics who all recommended us to Steve at Dyno-​Trans.
Steve was honest, stuck to his word, and kept the repairs at the quoted price despite that some parts were very hard to find.
I wish I could find a mechanic like Steve in the area for the rest of my automotive work.

I brought my 91 Camaro in for a transmission job every place I’ve gone to told me about Dyno transmission, prices are extremely reasonable job is grade A work. I would have my family and friends go to this place any time. Customer service is excellent very friendly funny they make you feel at home.

I took my Dodge truck to Dyno Trans for drive line service and installation of high capacity transmission pan and differential cover in preparation for some heavy duty towing. I also provided some internal upgrade parts to be installed while the pan was off. I choose this shop based on the many positive reviews here on Unilocal.I can confirm that the many favorable reviews for this business are deserved. This shop is obviously committed to customer service and satisfaction and they were a pleasure to do business with. I will definitely look to Steve and the technicians at Dyno Trans for any transmission service required in the future. Highly Recommended!

So here is an update. I kept my word. I was having tranny problems, and I came here. These guys do it right. Best pricing compared to other shops too! I love my truck! I was so sad when my transmission lost 3^rd gear at 200k miles. These guys are incredible! Honest. And I would encourage anyone with transmission problems to call these guys before you do ANYTHING. In a business/​industry where quality automotive work/​integrity and high customer satisfaction are hard to get in a package deal… these guys are it! I’d honestly challenge ANYONE to call these guys and NOT be impressed with their service, no matter where you decide to take your business. These guys are professional.

This place rocks! My wife and I were on our way from San Diego to Palm Springs for her birthday weekend when our cars started misfiring.
It was Friday and traffic was getting heavy. We were approaching Temecula and I assumed it was my tranny.
We Unilocaled nearby tranny shops and found Dyno had great reviews. My client’s office was close and I asked him about them and he said they were great.
We called ahead and they said bring it on in. We sputtered to the shop and the owner Steve got our car in promptly.
He said it was our crank sensor and it would be 150 dollars.
It was almost 5 and they were closing so he said it would be ready Monday because he didn’t have part.
He called all the local rental car companies and they were all booked up.
He then saw the look on my wife’s face as we were stuck.
He then went the extra effort for us. He found the part at a shop that was not all that close. He had someone drive and picked it up and worked late and got is on the road in an hour. All of this when he had a bad case of the flu.
Thanks Steve for saving our weekend!

The company lives up to there promises. Give great prices along with high quality work. Their customer service is top notch. This is my second time dealing with them and I won’t even bother looking elsewhere. Great company and fantastic customer service!

i went to Dyno Transmission based on the review from Unilocal.It is rare that a mechanic has five stars.
Had a great experience. While my car was not an inexpensive, easy fix, I received excellent service. The owner, Steve, was wonderful and trustworthy. He gave my husband and I two different options and fixed our car in a timely manner.
Would definitely return

We thought the transmission was slipping because we got a jerking motion in the car when it down-​shifted from 6^th to 5^th. We brought it in to Dyno, and Steve called us later to say they couldn’t get it to reproduce the problem. True enough – we only experienced it on hot days after it had been driven for at least 20 minutes. We picked it up for the weekend, and Steve said to bring it straight around to the back of the shop the next time it started acting up, leave it running, and he’d check it out right away. So the following Monday, we did just that. Steve hopped right it, felt the problem, and said we didn’t have a transmission problem but a spark plug (or related) problem. We weren’t sure that was the case because we had platinum plugs and changed them less than 30,000 miles ago. But we took it home and checked the plugs and wires. Sure enough, one of the wires had gone bad. We went ahead and changed those, a quick $ 30 fix. Some mechanics would have given us the run-​around while charging for unnecessary parts and labor. Steve never charged us a cent even though he and his guys spent their time trying to reproduce the problem. Steve is incredibly honest and just an all-​around nice guy. We will definitely take our cars to his shop again!

Steve is the Epitome of Integrity.
After my transmission went out at 83 000 miles I figured I would be spending at least 3k for rebuilding it. Steve suggested we check on the warrantee first. He took my vin number, called the dealer, and presto it was still covered. I had a free new loaner and a brand new tranny within a couple of days. He could have just taken on the work and not mention the potential warrantee. Thanks to Steve at Dyno-​trans I saved thousands.

Great Job. Excellent service and warranty.

These guys are top notch. I went in with a question about my 86 Monte Carlo Transmission leak. They told me what was needed, and ordered a part that arrived the next day. Thanks Steve and Paul. You guys are great!

This shop is 1 in a million! Both my trucks have gone through complete transmission rebuilds at Dyno Trans. Steve and his staff performed the rebuilds cheaper than I could do it myself. Great customer service, unbeatable rates and very knowledgable.

My wife’s escalade transmission failed recently and I called Steve and his shop because of the great reviews. He sent a tow truck out free of charge and gave me a quick diagnosis that day. His estimate was cheap. To do a quick cost comparison my wife reached out to a family member who owned a brake and alignment shop in east county. He said he could get a deal with his car club and quoted me a higher estimate than Steve’s! So I had Steve do the rebuild and he had it done in four days. The crazy part is after I picked it up and drove it for a couple days it wouldn’t start. I did a battery check and it was fine and then called Steve to make sure there wasn’t a transmission interlock that was missed. He sent the tow truck out again for free and did another free diagnostic. He called me back in a few hours and told me it was a bad starter. He had already replaced it and said the truck was ready to get picked up. I asked him how much for the starter and Steve just dismissed me and said we already paid a lot and this was on the house. I brought the vehicle back in after ten days for a quick checkup and he said everything looked great.
And surprisingly, much of this was handled over the phone. The first time I actually got to meet Steve was after he had replaced the starter. That’s convenience for you!
I can’t say enough about how great it is to find an honest and economical vehicle shop. They do so much more than transmissions and I will be taking my vehicle back here for any work. I will also recommend them to all my local friends and family. As a guy who is familiar with vehicle repairs, there are a ton of shops out there that are dishonest and literally steal the money out of your pocket. Not Steve and his guys, they are the best out here!

These guys are the Best ! No matter how big or small. Super high performance or daily driver. Bring you trans problems to Steve and his team and they will fix you up period.

Honesty is such a rare and hard thing to find in a mechanic. Brought in my 97 F150 when the overdrive light started flashing, Steve quickly diagnosed my transmission issues and explained specifically to me what it was gonna take to get it fixed and gave me a price lower than the competition. This is a company I would highly recommend!

Called to install gears in my truck, front and rear and a transmission service, and while the process took longer than I expected (due to finding parts) the final results were awesome. Steve is an honest and easy guy to deal with and I will definitely be a return customer for any and all future needs. Thank you Steve and the techs at Dyno Trans for doing such a great job on my truck. It runs like new.

I just had my 41 Ford here again because I was happy with the work they did the first time. This time it was in for something NOT transmission related and again these guys treated me right. The price was great, the work was great, and the communication was great. Highly reccomended.

Steve is the owner and he runs a fantastic business. They provide a free diagnosis and they really dig in to see what is happening with your transmission. After keeping my car a couple of hours and running a detailed inspection they recommended against me making any repairs at all. He said if it was his car he’d drive it a few more years before doing any work on it. Gotta love an honest repair shop. If you need transmission work in the Temecula Valley, go see Steve.

Great company! When you drop your vehicle here you’ll be meeting the owner Steve. I’ve rarely dealt with as honest and fair-​minded an individual as him. I’ve shopped around I’ve found his pricing in line or less than the other shops in town. My main reason for giving this shop 5 stars is that he stands behind his work. I have a 2003 Honda Pilot which have notoriously problematic transmissions. Steve’s guys rebuilt it at a cost of $ 2500 with a 2 year no-​deductible warranty. 18 months later the tranny failed due to the torque converter falling apart. He did a complete new rebuild at zero cost and no questions asked. I’ve never been treated this well by even good shops when they were faced with eating the entire cost of a repair this expensive… they almost always try and give me some reason why I should pay something. Not these guys

So I took my truck in for simple service using an on-​line coupon. Everything was great until Steve starting pointing out the numerous leaks, which I appreciated. Steve reminds me of my uncle that owns a body shop in New Mexico where the two share a loyal customer base and vendors respect the business. Dyno-​Trans is a great small business but has that personal touch. For instance, I mentioned to Steve that I was getting hungry because I did not anticipate this long of a service. In his reply, he opened up his lunch room and fridge. Who does that?
Despite spending more time and money, my experience with them was most positive. I will be taking my truck back when I upgrade my trans. He and the Dyno crew deserve my business.
