Nationwide Transmissions, Larry Duncan i paid then and they told me it would not take about a week its three weeks now i was told i was getting a rebuilt one but when i called the shop thats doing the work he told we they sent one, Internet
i called this company because i needed to save money on my transmission they first told me that a rebuild kit cost $897.00 depending on the hard parts which they made seem that these parts dont brake that much so i told them ok. the next day the shop who is fixing it picked my truck up i had a guy call me ( Kevin ) said i needed to give $890.00 to them so the shop will look at it and if it was a cheeper part i would get a refund for the difference i paid them thinking everything was ok but a couple of days latter Kevin called me and said my transmission was shot and they and going top send a rebuilt transmission to the shop and it would cost $2477.00 to fix i told him thats high and wanted to just get my money back he told me it was non refundable deposit and if i wanted to get my truck back i would have to give the shop $250.00 for the tow and then checking it out so i felt stuck and paid the rest they told me it would take about a week they just have to send the transmission there after a week goes by i called the shop and they told me he did not get the transmission yet i called transone several times that week till the next week i called the shop and he told me they had a local salvage send one and it was no good i called kevin he told me he had nothing to do with that and gave me Garry and i called him he said he would look into it now its been three weeks now i left messages no call back the shop still has no clue whats going on

Transmission Scam Larry Duncan
#2General Comment

My son also called Larry Duncan about transmission repair and was quoted repairs would be around $600.00. After having car picked up and taken to the shop for a diagnosis he was to call him back with a total for repairs. My son called him and he told him that repairs would be $997.00 + hard parts, but needed a deposit of $897.00 cash deposited into his personal bank account. I spoke with Larry and asked him how much was the towing and diagnostic test, he stated that it would be $897.00. Told him if he had done the test what was wrong with it. He stated that the shop had results. Told him we did not want him to do the repairs and that I would pay him for towing and testing and asked him how was that, he stated $897.00 cash. Told him I did not operate by cash, and I was not going to deposit cash into his checking account. He stated to me he did not take credit cards, checks or cashier checks, and I was not going to be an exception to his rule. He also stated people think that they are slick with credit cards, and checks they stop payment on them. I told him no, you think that you are slick by wanting cash deposited in your account. Asked him to give me the location where my auto was located after he had insulted my intelligence several times, and I told him I did not appreciate it and hung up. The location where our auto was located is 1805 S.Great Southwest Pkwy,Grand Prairie, Texas, suppose to be Einstein Transmission Repair. This company does not even exist. After several days going to the place trying to talk with the people at the shop and they pretending not to know anything about what was going on. We took the police no results. After no results with that we went to the Grand Prairie court house to file a civil law suit, but after their help we found out that this company did not exist and they are suppose to be operating as Einstein Auto, only storing auto parts not repairing autos. We went to the Code Enforcement Office, they informed Larry Duncan that they were operating illegally. We were there the day they closed the warehouse down and got our car back without paying them a dime, but they did tear our transmission completely apart. If anyone is in the Dallas/Forth Worth area and you think your auto is in this shop you need to try and get your auto out of this warehouse. We thankfully did not get scammed, but he tried to. If you would like to contact us call 469-671-6886 or email at [email protected], because we are trying to help other people get their autos back and close this company down for good.
