Best Rated Transmission Repair Shop & Rebuilds In Arizona
As one of many transmission shops in the valley we know that we need to go above and beyond to set ourselves apart from the competition. We aren’t the only shop in town that can rebuild or repair your transmission, but we do want to provide the best service, pricing and warranty. We’re proud of our reviews so we’ve listed them below so you can read and see what our customers have to say about us. Although we aren’t perfect (nobody is) we go above and beyond to accommodate our customers, provide excellent customer service, communication, and the highest quality transmission work.
Free Towing, Diagnostics & Rental Car Reimbursement On All Major Transmission Repairs.
For each new transmission job we’ve allocated up to $200.00 in free benefits that you can use to help with free towing and or rental car reimbursement.
You can use the entire $200 on towing, or a rental or split it up. If your tow is $80.00 then you’ve got another $120.00 in benefits to use towards a rental.
If you don’t need the benefits or all of the benefits then great. Save them for someone who does and help us keep our costs low and the ability to offer benefits to customers who need them that most shops don’t offer.
Free Towing: If your transmission is completely broken or your vehicle isn’t safe to drive you’ll have to tow it to the shop in order to get your repairs done. Towing is usually about $65 plus a couple dollars a mile. A 20 mile tow will usually cost about $100.00. We will cover the first $200.00 dollars of any tow.
Rental Car Reimbursement: A typical transmission rebuild job can take up to 5-6 days and sometimes more. If your going to be without a vehicle during this time you might look into a rental car so you can continue your daily routines. If you need a rental go ahead and get one, once we finish the job we will take the cost of the rental off of your bill or we will write you a check to reimburse your rental costs. Up to $40 a day, up to $200.00 total.

Who takes payments for transmission repair? We do! Desert Transmissions is located in Glendale Arizona and provides services for customers all over Arizona allowing you to take up to $200 in free towing or rental car reimbursement benefits for all major transmission repairs. We promise the best pricing and warranties and will help you get easy financing to cover the costs of getting your transmission fixed and your vehicle back on the road.
We use several lenders that provide transmission repair lending. The application process is quick and easy with instant approvals. Each lender offers a 0% interest introductory offers and some of our lenders offer funding with no credit needed.
General Auto Repair
Although we are a transmission shop and specialize in transmission repair we can also do general repair work. Often times we will notice additional issues while working on your transmission and end up repairing bad cv axles, motor mounts, transmission mounts, radiators, and fixing leaks from the engine oil pan, valve covers, rack and pinion etc. Let us know what you need and we can schedule a free diagnostics and estimate for anything you need.
Automatic Transmission Repair
We work on all types of automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission is a complex piece of machinery and the types of transmission vary from one make and model of vehicle to the next. We are familiar with all types of automatic transmission, valve body and electrical systems that control the automatic transmission. We can remove them, rebuild, install and program any automatic transmission.
Standard Transmission Repair
Who works on standard transmissions? Believe it or not there aren’t too many shops that do anymore. Standard transmission parts aren’t as available as automatics, and there are less standard transmissions on the road. The general opinion is that a standard transmission might actually last longer than automatic transmissions. No problem over here we can repair or rebuild any type of standard transmission with brand new parts and the best warranties in the valley.
Standard or manual transmissions are quite a bit different than automatics. The standard transmission allows the driver to change gears on their own, manually, and choose which gear to be in and when. We can diagnose, rebuild and repair all makes and models of standard transmission including the clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, master and or slave cylinders.
Clutch Repair & Replacement
Desert Transmissions can diagnose and repair any clutch issues. Whether your clutch is bad, or the hydraulics are going out. Sometimes you may thing the the standard transmission is bad when it’s actually the clutch.
We do clutch and flywheel upgrades as well. Contact us for a free estimate and or diagnostics.
CVT Continuously Variable Transmission Repair
The CVT transmission is an automatic transmission but its unique because it doesn’t actually shift gears. It uses a belt driven system and actuators that change allow it to change ratios. These transmission take a special, expensive fluid and were not manufactured with a rebuild in mind. Most shops cannot repair or rebuild a CVT transmission. We can! Contact us for a free estimate and to learn more about our CVT transmission services. We offer the best prices on CVT transmission services, repairs and replacements.
Dual Clutch Transmission Repair (DCT)
Dual clutch transmissions are also automatic, but they are also unique. The transmission uses two automatic clutches with actuators, levers, and a transmission control module to function. We are experienced in all types of DCT transmission repairs and diagnostics.
We are proud to be one of the best rated and reviewed transmission repair shops in Arizona according Yelp, Google & Facebook! Check us out.

These boys don't just blow smoke up your butt they backup everything they do. I honestly believe these boys have a very long future in this business just because of their sincerity and their knowledge. It was just a few days before Thanksgiving and we knew my husband's tranny was not going to make it much longer but we're trying to hold out till after the holidays turns out we could not do that so we started making phone calls trying to decide where we were going to put are vehicle not to mention the money we knew we were going to have to spend. I just happened to come across desert transmission on the internet there weren't many reviews but the couple that were there were very good so we decided to take a chance, these guys not only had our vehicle ready exactly when they said it would be ready but they went over and above to make sure that we had our vehicle for the holidays. They even worked very late the night before Thanksgiving just so that we could pick our vehicle up along with a few other vehicles that they were wanting to get out so that everyone wouldn't have to go the holidays without their transportation. Their pricing what's better than anyone else and their warranty was above and beyond better, and we have had absolutely no problem with my husband's truck and he uses it daily I would more than recommend desert transmission to anyone out there who wants an honest deal we all work hard for our money and it's well spent at this place thank you Mike Mickey and George you let me know that there are still honest mechanics out there that won't try to get over on you just because you're a woman or just because they can happy holidays guys from Rod and Kim Robertsread less - 12/07/2019

The new bolts didn't last two weeks. Mike told me "I'm just one to complain a lot and probably do it on a daily basis". Isn't "transmission" in the company name?read less - 9/01/2020

And I am beyond grateful. There was a slight bit of confusion at the very beginning, but once the work was begun--it was finished rapidly. And I have zero complaints. I originally took my vehicle to them because they quoted me a price for a full transmission rebuild that was nearly $1,500 under the nearest competitor quote. They even managed to come in below the original quote by almost $200! I was blown away. Every part of their business is geared towards Customer Service which is a rare thing in this day and age of Auto Repair companies striving to find creative ways to seperate you from every last dollar possible. From their FREE towing service (a huge value in and of itself), to the multiple finance options, the top-quality work for a reasonable price (came with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty), and the sit-down explanation of the work performed; I drove away, confident in the choice I'd made by bringing my vehicle to them. I bear the unfortunate distinction of having had a wealth of experience dealing with mechanics as I prefer used vehicles over new, and I cannot state this more plainly: most shops treat you as a number that will be served according to their convenience. I am happy to report that Desert Transmissions is the exact opposite. I was treated as a human being. They know your vehicle is the most important tool you have in this valley and it shows in how they treated me and how they treated my vehicle. I have already recommended their service to several of my friends and will continue to do so. And should I find myself in need of more work I will definitely be bringing it to them. If you're reading this now, you should consider it as well. Five stars from me.read less - 10/13/2020
