I had a MAJOR steering issue with my older GMC. I called Monday and spoke with David. I dropped my vehicle off that night after hours. Within an hour of them opening Tuesday morning, I had already received a call detailing what needed to be repaired. What a surprise when I was quoted an EXTREMELY fair price for the work that was needed. He told me it would be ready today. I picked it up and what a difference!!My vehicle has never been better! I will never go anywhere else for service on my vehicles. They delivered prompt, professional service. The guys at Grand Traverse Transmission are the best

After some major transmission issues on our motorhome a few years ago, had some concerns passing through town. The guys had me come by, Jacque scanned for any errors/issues and took it for a test drive. They didn't find any issues and no charge for checking it out. Appreciate their time and feedback

Customer service was impeccable. The gentleman that I spoke to was friendly and knowledgeable of my 2007 Cobalt SS G85 Edition. I brought it in after my shifter wouldn't go into gear and I could make a complete circle with the shifter. Right away I assumed roll pin and took it to their shop to have them take a look at everything. They had it for a day and told me I needed a whole new transmission. Couldn't afford the parts and labor for that so I took it home and looked it over myself. Went from an estimate of over 4k to a 3 dollar fix and about an hour and a half of my time as it was just in fact

Positive: Professionalism, Value
They took in our very old car, resolved the problem and prioritized the safety issues that were needed. The next week when a problem reoccurred, they immediately fixed it, no charge and fully stood behind their work. I appreciate their honesty and dedication to their trade. Highly recommend for knowledge and honest staff.

They have taken care of us well and will continue to do business here. Now I won't have to explain it to anyone else. They listen to you when they are suppose to listen and clearly help you understand. If you like me it takes a min😂. So Thanks for giving me confidence I won't be seeing you soon😀! No offence😂
