All Tranz Transmission All tranz Unprofesional, Hard to deal with. Madison Wisconsin
I went and got my transmission replaced. When I got my car back the engine was making a really loud noise. I immediately took it back and Sully said that he received the car like that. He said that I should drive it around for a couple of days and see if it stops. So I did but i knew I didn't take it to him like that.
so I went and got a diagnostics and paid for it to see what was wrong with it. 60 codes came up 2 of which were transmission codes...wow I couldn't believe it. So I took the car back to him. And he still argued with me and said that he didn't do anything. He then called me up later that day and said "I scratched my head for a little while and found out that I needed to align the transmission". He should have scratched his head before he gave it to me.
So It did get done but he was a total pr**k about it. Then I drove it for about 1200 miles and two of my lug nuts broke off. Well I know that you have to take the front wheels off the car to replace the transmission. he for got to tighten down the lug nuts. I called him up and he tried everything in the book to push the blame off on something else but he fixed it. I guess if you choose him because he is the cheapest beware. also I guess you get what you pay for.

You stated the lugnuts broke off/fell off after 1200 miles of driving. That is a lot of miles. My point is valid. If the wheels were not put on correctly, you would not have gotten far...most wheels fall off after a few yards. As for the "alignment" issue, huh? The tranny bolts to the engine and both are held in place by mounts. What misalignment of the tranny is there? Also, with that many codes in the ECM, BCM, TCM...they are probably old codes that accumulated over time and have never been cleared. The vehicle wouldn't have even ran if they were legit codes. Repairing the issue caused the check engine light to illuminate doesn't clear the code, but the computers will ackowledge the corrected issue and turn off the light. The codes will still be there to annoy the next guy who scans the vehicle. Get it? You may also have an issue with the ECM, BCM, TCM. When they start losing their "flash", they will spit out about that many codes. In this case, you need to take the car to the Dealership to have them reflashed, or any independent shop that has it's own MODIS. When they lose their "flash", the vehicle will still run, but not perfectly. Eventually, it will quit completely when left uncorrected. "Flashing" usually runs about $90. Good luck.

And you may be right! What i do know is from experiencing it (and I am by far not a mechanic) was that when i noticed that the lug nuts the two had broke off and the others were loose i drove way more than 12 feet back to my house.

If the lugnuts weren't tightened when it left the shop, they would have come off LOOOOONG before 1200 miles...more like about 12 feet. Someone tried to steal your wheels, but got caught. They left them loose. The shop had nothing to do with it.
