Be careful of this place! Auto Transmission of Chesapeake wanted to charge me like $6,500.00 for an alleged problem that I fixed with only $8.00.
A few days ago I took my vehicle to this place to be diagnosed with the cause of a noise in my vehicle's engine. They told me the noise was coming from the transmission; however, to determine the cause they had to open the transmission for a cost of $500.00 - to which I accepted and paid. If they truly opened it or not, I don’t know.
After a few days, Mike called me back to say that the transmission was “bad” and needs to be replaced with a new one. So he quoted me a total of $6,500.00.
After the our talk, I decided to check with my father-in-law and he suggested me to check the engine oil levels since the noise and behavior of the transmission were not typical of a faulty transmission. I checked the engine oil and indeed it did not have any. I bought a liter of oil ($8.00) and poured it into the engine and the noise went away. Since then my vehicle has been running perfectly.
Be careful with Auto Transmission of Chesapeake, as it is not a legit place.
