Update : I had Mr Transmission fix my tranny right. Silcox thought it was OK to have it making noise, but it was ruining my differential bearing. Silcox didn't know enough to replace my differential bearings. Mr Tranny did (for $889), and now my car tranny is quiet again. I'm out $1300 because of Silcox Automotive. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They failed me -- $1300 worth.
Took car in on 9/6/2010 with noises in tranny. They took it apart and supposedly repaired it and put it back together and it cost me $1100+. Still had tranny noises after they "fixed" it so I took it back to them and they then replaced a wheel bearing (which it did NOT need) and said I could pay $170 for this if I chose to, so I did, but was later sorry I did and he refused to refund my $170 by that time. 2 years and 7000 miles later, my tranny whining noises seem louder, after they told me they would quiet down after a while (it's been over 2 years since they worked on my tranny). He said "all transmissions make noise" and I felt as if he was trying to pass the blame on to something else, rather than take responsibility for his poor work.
I'm now in the process of having the tranny checked out by PROFESSIONAL transmission repair people and I may have to spend another $1000 to get my tranny fixed the way it's supposed to be fixed. Silcox Automotive CALL themselves a transmission shop but people I have spoken to today say that they do not specialize in transmission work, and I, for one, would not recommend Silcox Automotive to anyone with transmission trouble. Because of them, I'm out $1270 and I need to spend about $1000 more to get the tranny right. This is one place I know I will not return to.
Completely unprofessional, rude, and expensive. I would avoid using this business for any service.
surprised by the bad reviews. We have twice taken our car here and had it repaired. He is honest and the second time we thought an expensive repair was needed it turned out to minor and he saved us a ton of money. It rare to find an honest mechanic these days
Does great work at a fair price
