Our story

An Honest Shop on East 12th

Finding a mechanic you trust with a transmission is hard. That's why drivers across Oakland keep coming back to our shop on East 12th Street — for straight answers, honest quotes, and work that holds up.

Transmissions are our specialty: full rebuilds, replacements, swaps, seals, and clutch repair, often turned around in a day or two. Customers tell the same story again and again — quoted on Friday, car in Monday, back on the road Tuesday running like a champ.

We also handle the rest of what keeps your car moving: brakes, suspension, drivetrain service, and oil changes. If we spot a small problem while your car is on the lift, we fix it and tell you about it — so you don't have to come back next month.

  • Same-day service on many repairs
  • Honest quotes, fair prices
  • Open six days a week

William Bielefeld

“This is the best transmission shop I have ever been to. Fast, reliable, and good prices. Ty quoted me on Friday, said bring the car on Monday morning, had it back to me Tuesday afternoon running like a champ.”

Cali Life Concrete

“Excellent timely service for a very fair price. A good honest mechanic is hard to find, but Ty is the real thing. I plan on bringing my car to him whenever my car needs to be repaired.”
