A-Dayton Automotive & Transmission Services

A-Dayton is THE place to go with any transmission concerns!! Simon is amazing! Made me feel like my car was in superior care! Tackled the problems with skilled problem solving. Communicated in detail the problems, recommended repairs and estimated costs. Only surprise was, the speed with which the work was completed AND the fact that the actual costs were less than estimated!!! Priceless!! Thank you!

15 years ago they put a CD4e in my 98 mazda 626 and it broke so they had to swap it out again. everyone else refused to accept it as a customer, but these dudes got me squared away. I bet they didn't accept a 626 or ford contour ever again! I'm sorry my car was literally built to be trash. not the shops fault. they went above and beyond!

The Staff is not excellent, they are all incompetent!!! My car wouldn’t start, thought it was the starter, come to find out the starter was hanging off because they didn’t put the screws back on from replacing the solenoid. Before that had my transmission replaced and just found out from another mechanic that the fumes coming back inside my car are from the transmission going bad. I stopped in there to tell him about it , he wanted me to leave it there for a week( it two weeks) to replace it). I asked him how I would get home, he told me to call an Uber. AND I would have to leave it there for a week!!! Not only do they do crappy work but also crappy customer service. If you value your vehicle, time and money DON’T Take it There!!

TL,DR: had my car more than 2 weeks with no communication or update and did no work on it. Eventually took it elsewhere. Long version: I dropped my car off on a Monday for a clutch replacement. By Wednesday the parts were there and I was told they would try to have it done by the end of the week. It is not done and I get no call or update. The following Monday rolls around (1 week) and I call to say I need my car to drive to the airport Wednesday. Simon says he will try to have it done by Wednesday and will call me Tuesday with an update regardless of the status - he never calls. I find a ride to and from the airport for my trip, again with no clue as to the status of my car. The following Monday (week 2) I call and not only was it not done but he hadn't even started on it. By this point

Was recommended by the place I've taken my car to for a long time; I had a transmission line leak in a molded part of the radiator. Called on a Monday, brought my car in on Tuesday, by Wednesday I had an explanation and an estimate that was way less than I had expected. Car was finished on Thursday and it runs great. The peace of mind I have with a functioning car cannot be underestimated. Am impressed with my experience here and will recommend to anyone seeking a local transmission shop.
