They fixed my Yukon, and they did it on schedule. Two months later, it's running great, and I've zero issues. Highly recommend them!

Locomotion Transmissions was super thorough with their service. I was in Houston for travel and their professionalism and efficiency was amazing. Their treatment being very personal and kind is a plus. I am so thankful for businesses who continue to put their clients first and make it a priority to meet their needs

My F-150 started slipping gears on the highway and I was dreading the worst. Took it to Locomotion and they diagnosed it same day. Turned out to be a solenoid issue, not a full rebuild. Saved me thousands. Honest shop, fair pricing, and my truck shifts like new.

These guys know transmissions inside and out. Had my Dodge Ram towed in after the torque converter failed. They handled everything from insurance paperwork to delivery. Truck is back to towing my boat with no issues. True professionals.

Solid transmission shop. Had my BMW's transmission serviced here. They have the right diagnostic equipment for European cars, which not every shop in Houston can say. Pricing is competitive and they use quality parts. Will return for future maintenance.

Locomotion Transmissions exceeded my expectations! I needed a transmission rebuild, and they provided a clear explanation of what was needed and why. The work was done faster than expected, and they even offered to follow up to ensure everything was running smoothly. It's refreshing to find a shop that genuinely cares about their customers. Highly recommended!

Great work on my daughter's Camry. The transmission was hesitating badly and they rebuilt it within a week. Only reason for 4 stars is I had to call twice for an update, but the final result was worth it. Car drives smooth now.

As a single mom, finding a trustworthy mechanic is everything. Locomotion treated me with respect, showed me exactly what was wrong with my Honda Civic's transmission, and didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't need. Fair price, quality work, and they even gave me a ride home while my car was being fixed.

I run a small fleet of delivery vans and Locomotion has become our go-to for any transmission issues. They've rebuilt three transmissions for us now and every single one has held up perfectly. Their fleet rates are reasonable and they understand that downtime costs us money. Highly recommended for any business owners.
