Shop Certification Requirements
- Been in business for 2 years or more.
- Better Business Bureau “B” or higher rating.
- Offer quality transmission replacement and charge fair labor prices based on book time (Mitchell, Alldata, Chilton, Motor, etc).
- Minimum 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty.
- Review Check – Before an application is approved, we check the reviews of the shop, the BBB rating, and it’s owner. This means that shops with less-than-sparkling histories don’t make it onto our site.
- Mystery Shop – We make sure shops on our network, when asked, will install a transmission on behalf of a customer through mystery calling as a customer.
- Monitoring Feedback – We ask customers to review their experience. We constantly monitor the performance of our shops to make sure they’ll provide you with professional and courteous service. If a shop receives verified complaints that go unresolved, they are stripped of their certification and are no longer listed on our website.
