Ted’s Transmissions

Ted’s is great. It doesn’t really get any simpler than that, but here is my story. I live in QAG down the street, and so I wanted to take my car to somewhere within walking distance since my fiancée cannot drive without accessibility controls (so she couldn’t pick me up if it was her car getting fixed). So we took it in since it had failed inspection and I saved up some money. They were very honest with me and told me an itemized list of what was wrong, how much it would cost to fix, and that it was worth more than the value of a comparable car. They did not charge me for the look at it, and even took the accessibility controls off for free. Very classy people.
Next, we buy a used car, and I don’t trust the dealer’s mechanic (nothing against them, just I don’t know them), so I take it in to Ted’s. They look it over for me, make sure I didn’t get a lemon, let me know what they checked, and again didn’t charge me for the labor. I am very surprised this hospitality exists! Now they aren’t pushovers, so don’t expect a free lunch, but I was super happy that they were honest and prideful so I will definitely be taking all my warranteed, major repairs to them instead of the dealer even if it means the hassle of mailing in a rebate.
Only criticisms are that it is sometimes hard to pull into their back area to drop a vehicle off, they need a buzzer to let them know when you arrive, and they need to call sooner when they are done (both times I had to call them to find out). But that is all small stuff compared to other chain maintenance guys that rip you off in the south shore. Woo!

This past Xmas eve I was on my way to Springfield to visit inlaws, after going through toll in Weston, heard God awful thud, pulled into a small construction site, knew transmission was blown. Had car towed to dealer & day after Xmas was hit with a 3900.00 estimate. The car is a 2006 escalade with 88 000 miles and there was no way I was going to spend that much. Had seen great reviews of Teds on Unilocal and decided to give him a call. The Monday after Xmas the car was at Teds. I got an estimate for repairs which was considerably less than the dealers. On New Year’s Day Ted called and said the car was ready. The service and price I received was outstanding. I don’t want to have transmission problems, but if I did I would never consider anyone else than Ted. He deserves all the accolades he receives on Unilocal.h

Ted’s Transmissions is simply the most honest repair shop I’ve ever encountered. We had a problem with our 2003 Toyota Rav4. We dropped it off, and Ted’s called us to tell us the bad news — the electronic control computer was blown. Instead of soaking us for thousand$, Ted’s told us that the problem was common in our car, and suggested that we contact the dealer to see if we were still under the extended warrantee. Ted’s has integrity — which is all too rare today.
Ted’s — you deserve this 5-​star review. We’ll be back to get all the repair work done on our cars with you from now on!

I was in a jamb with one of my work trucks, Ted’s made it mint very quickly even tho the transmission needed an everything. Reasonable price but more importantly its held up for months now without a hiccup. Will be my «tranny guy» from now on.

This is the first online review I have done. Ted and his crew are hands down the best in the business. If you need auto/​truck repair, this is the place to go. Do not waste your time with anyone else. Ted stands behind his work and is HONEST. It is so hard to find a garage where you can drop of your vehicle and know that you are in good hands. I wish more businesses were run like Ted runs his.

Ted’s is great. HONEST. Stands behind his work. Cannot recommend Ted’s enough.

Awesome service at a very reasonable price. I’ve had them do tranny work twice on my 2002 Isuzu Rodeo and these guys are honest, reliable and fast. I would use them again and I highly recommend this shop.

SO happy with the service we got at Ted’s. We had just been ripped off by a previous mechanic and were in dire need for some honest work. That’s when we found Ted. He was not only honest and upfront but he went out of his way to clearly explain EVERYTHING he was doing. Its hard to find service this great.
