Testimonials

On 3/27/2026 DUSTIN BUTLER had this to say:
I highly recommend Sta-Rite transmission. They have always been fair and honest. I've had several cars and trucks handled by them and every time they deliver. I'll share one of my experience with them. I dropped off a 05 Chevy diesel because the transmission was acting up with not shifting and getting hot. I was called the next day saying my truck was ready. Very confused I said what was the problem? Austin said bring a new battery with you one of them is bad and needs replaced. I feel most but not all shops would of taken advantage of that situation and sold me a new or rebuilt transmission.

I took my car in to Sta rite due to a transmission issue, they diagnosed it as a bad valve body. Replaced the transmission with a low mile used transmission. They got me back moving. Thanks for all you guys did for me!!! Much Appreciated!!

On 8/13/2025 Bruce Greenfield had this to say:
Absolutely one of the best experiences I've had with a business in the automotive service industry. All of the qualities mentioned in other reviews are spot on. Knowledgeable, great communication, upbeat, looks for the lowest cost remedies first, efficient. Pricing is very reasonable. Can't say enough good about Austin and his staff. I highly recommend this business.
