Bad Business at John's Transmissions Bryan, Texas ripoff

Good advice for all.

Let me get this straight. You have a 20 year old vehicle, had the transmission rebuilt for $950 then ended up getting the money back. The $950 more than paid for your (140 mile trip) several trips and you STILL have the rebuilt transmission. You did not ask for a foreign-built converter, but were given a lousy USA converter. Why weren't you smart enough to ask for the foreign-built converter in the first place?

Wait, I can solve your problem -- go live in the country where Nissans are built and you shouldn't have ANY problems. In the USA you seem to not be satisfied with anything - your country, your vehicle, the service you receive. Maybe another country would be better for you.

You had a service performed and then got your money back but still have the transmission that works. Obviously you have never been in a situation that forced you to depend on someone else making something -- lucky you.

I can imagine John is going to lose a lot of sleep over someone that cannot be satisfied no matter what he does. You must be a joy to live with considering your positive attitude!!

I have to say that it seems to me that The owner at John's Transmissions did just about everything he could to take care of the convertor problem with your vehicle. I understand the fustration from having to go back as many times as you did. However the fault was not in the rebuild. The fault was from an outside source that John's transmissions uses. Dacco is use by many transmission shops. And yes they are made in the usa. And everyday, transmissions with Dacco convertors, get to where they are going. It's not uncommon for there to be a "bad batch" from time to time. I'm not saying this was the reason why your convertor had to be replaced. I don't know. But a bad convertor is just that, a bad convetor, and it doesn't matter why. However, you stated that you would have been happier if John had used a Dealer brand convertor. If that was the case, why didn't you go to the dealer to begin with??? And why didn't you ask for one up front??? You can ask for dealer brand parts. And i'm sure John would have been happy to use them. But your estimate would have been a great deal higher.

I'm sure it was just as fustrating to John as it was to you to have to replace the convertor as many times as he did. He has his name on it. And since the fault was not in the rebuild part of it. The only part that is in his control. It had to have been that much more fustrating for him to have his work tarnished by an outside source. But none the less, he did what he had to do to get you back on the road time and time again. And when you still were unsatisfied, he refunded your money just to make you happy. And here you are saying that he was out to rip you off??? If that were the case, you would not have gotten your money back. And you would not have gotten new convertors over and over again. I commend John for his patients with the problems he had with your vehicle. And certainly suprised that he was willing to refund your money on the rebuild part of the job. It was an unfortunate situation with the convertors, but to continue with the complaining as you have is just ridiculous! Your transmission rebuild ended up costing you a little time and gas.... what a deal!
