In January of 2014 High Tech, San Antonio, Texas, repaired my transmission.  Cost $2600, with a 50,000 mile, 15 month warranty.  I was pleased with the work and the warranty.

Then, while on a business trip in August 2014, to Ft. Stockton, Texas, about 300 miles away, my transmission failed.  It was still under warranty, so I called High Tech to see what to do.  The person that answered the phone didn't know, and said he would call me back later.  After 2 hours I called back, and was told they had no affiliated shops in Ft. Stockton, and couldn't do anything, nor could they tell me what to do.  It was then they explained to me, their warranty was good only in their shop in San Antonio!!!!!

I had to get my transmission fixed, so the Chevy dealer in Ft. Stockton said he could repair the transmission in a period of 3-5 days, or simply replace it the next day.  I couldn't delay my business for a week so I told them to replace the transmission, which they did the next day and I was on my way......$3200.

I returned to San Antonio, and went in to get a reimbursement on their repair work, and was once again given a bucket full of excuses, and finally a check for $616.  Don't use High Tech!!!  Go to a dealer, pay a little more, and get a real warranty thats good at any dealer in the US.  

High Techs attitude was arrogant, snide, and patronizing.  My six month experence with this outfit cost me a net of $4200, and a lot of grief.  Be warned......their warranty is only good in their shop.  Don't be fooled by the friendly demenor, certificates on the wall, or any other review.  It's whats on paper that counts...and they say plainly.....in small print of course, their warranty is only good in their shop.

There is no misrepresentation of our warranty.  It is stated, in bold print, on the front page of a signed invoice.  It is the same coverage we gave you on another vehicle we repaired for in 2012. We extended our mileage warranty to 50,000 miles for you, of which you accumulated 47,479 miles in about 7 months. We agree you were within the mileage warranty period but unfortunately we don't have coverage in Ft. Stockton. We tried to locate satellite locations that can assist us in getting you back on the road but there is very few shops in that part of Texas other than the Dealership. You told us that you were having the dealer install a transmision--regardless. We contacted the service department and spoke with ****** ******. We asked him what was wrong the the transmission and his diagnosis. He told us that no formal inspection was done, no electronic scan, pan inspection, flow test, etc. The only thing inspected was the fluild level and condition. He stated to you that there was an option to pull, inspect, and repair what was was wrong but you told him to order and replace it.
