I had such a great experience here at Capitol Transmission. Paul was very friendly and very understanding of our situation and I felt comfortable and confident in their pricing and recommendations. I would absolutely recommend anyone with transmission problems to come here!
Lilly Kuhl
Hey guys I was yet another victim of the old bow tie. At 140,000 miles my transmission was starting to fail, and I needed real answers fast. Capital Transmission was one of the first shops to pick up the phone. They asked the right questions, took the time to understand what was going on, and got me scheduled for diagnostics right away. They pulled the codes, explained everything clearly, and unfortunately the verdict was a full transmission rebuild front to back. I had a feeling this might be the case, so I wasn’t shocked, but I was determined to make sure the job would be done thoroughly and with quality parts. I also wanted the torque converter upgraded from the factory version to a solid billet steel bottom for better reliability. Capital gave me their quote, and before moving forward I called a few other reputable shops to compare pricing and warranties. One other shop did come in a bit cheaper and also offered a strong warranty. But here is the thing Capital Transmission made me feel the most secure in my decision. The owner and staff were extremely informative and transparent. They even walked me into the work area and gave me a brief tour, showing exactly where and how the work would be done. The place was spotless and organized, which told me everything I needed to know about the quality and care they put into their work. Another huge bonus they provided a loaner truck. No other shop offered that, and it completely eliminated the stress of having to rent a vehicle. The entire experience was seamless, professional, and surprisingly quick. They finished earlier than I expected. I got my truck back running in tip top shape. Transmission temps are lower, shifting is smooth and consistent, and the upgraded billet converter made a noticeable difference in how solid the truck feels. I know there are other good shops out there, and I am sure some do great work, but after this experience, I won’t be going anywhere other than Capital for my vehicle maintenance needs. They stand behind what they do with a real warranty, and that alone brings peace of mind. I am confident I won’t ever need to use that warranty, but if anything ever comes up, I will come back and update this review with how the process goes. For now, I am beyond satisfied. Highly recommend.

I got the transmission replaced in my nissan rogue about 6 months back. The gentlemen that run the business are nice and honest. It took them two weeks to procure and replace the transmission. After 6 months of use , I can confirm that the work was well done. Gear shift feels smoother than ever and vehicle runs just fine.
Saugat Saxena
I’ve only brought my car here as it’s one of the most trustworthy places I know. Paul takes care of me every single time I come, and they are very upfront and knowledgeable about their services. 10/10 would recommend for any transmission issues!
Ethan Franco
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Capitol Transmission! I brought my car in after another mechanic told me it was essentially “done for,” and I was really worried about the transmission. From the moment I arrived, the team treated me with respect and care. They didn’t just give me a quick look. More than three mechanics thoroughly assessed my vehicle, checked it out, did individual road tests and explained everything clearly. Their assessment was fair, detailed, and most importantly, honest. They took the time to calm my concerns and make sure I understood what was really going on. It’s rare these days to find a company that combines expertise, integrity, and customer care the way they do. I left feeling relieved, confident, and grateful to have found a shop I can truly trust. If you’re looking for a transmission company that goes above and beyond, check them out. You won’t regret it!
Jazna Stannard
Although I towed my car here, I ended up not having my clutch repaired with him. Nonetheless, the owner was very accommodating and allowed me to keep my car there for about a week while I sold it privately. He was very understanding of my situation and I would recommend his services to anyone in the future. If he was this accommodating to someone who didn't get any service done, I can only imagine how he treats actual customers.
Nathan Martin
I had my clutch go out and was nervous about the cost. Capitol Transmission are straight shooters when it comes to pricing their services. It was a fair price (confirmed by my mechanic dad), and everyone I talked to there was incredibly kind and helpful. Highly, highly recommend. Finding a trustworthy car doctor can be hard. So, consider this place if you’re on the car doctor hunt.
Mel and Rel
I’ve had my fair share of experiences with auto shops, but Capitol Transmission and Auto Care stands out for all the right reasons. They’re not just skilled and efficient—they’re genuinely fair, honest, and trustworthy, especially with women. As a female customer, I’ve often felt talked down to or upsold elsewhere, but here, I was treated with respect and transparency from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, gave me real options without pressure, and made sure I understood what was being done. It’s rare to find a mechanic who combines technical expertise with integrity and kindness, but that’s exactly what you get here. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be treated like a valued customer—not just a number—this is it. I’ll absolutely be coming back, and I’ll be recommending them to everyone I know.
Lisa Burger
I had a great experience at this shop! Paul and Brian were super nice and easy to work with, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The shop itself was very clean and professional, which gave me a lot of confidence in the quality of their work. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable service.
Dylan Ruppar
Brian Wanted to thank you for work on my '65 chevy pickup. It's hard to find anyone willing to work on these old trucks...so what a pleasant surprise to not only find you willing but able to make needed repairs and offer great advice on restoring truck!!!. You are a rare breed and run a great shop. Highly recommend Capitol to anyone seeking transmission repairs!!! Bill
William Akley
The staff was courteous. They diagnosed the issue with my Jeep which actually wasn’t the transmission. I appreciated the honesty which is rare in today’s world. I would highly recommend Capital Transmission.
Andrew Clapsaddle
Nicest people at any repair shop i have EVER been to. Attention not just to repairs ( which are excellent) but to owners. Highly recommend. Paul or Brian. If you need a transmission don't go anywhere else.
Sharon Gentino
Absolutely recommend this place they are very understanding when it comes to payments… They just fixed my ford focus that had a clutch transmission problem & now my car is running just as new… Hopefully I don’t have any problems with my car again but if I do I am definitely going back to Paul & Brian. Thank you guys!!
Omaira C
I took my 2013 Nissan rogue to these great guys, and it was on its last leg. Now it is traveling just like it is new. They are honest and with no gimmicks. If you are having transmission issues this is the place you want to go to.
brad johnson
My car's check engine light came on with codes that suggested the ignition needed replacement. I know nothing about cars and was ready to replace it. But Capital Transmission tested it thoroughly and concluded it was a false alarm. They explained everything to me clearly, and didn't even charge for the time they spent diagnosing it! I will definitely be back if / when the transmission really does die.
Peter Gourley
Paul and Brian are great people to do business with. I left my truck there to check out the transmission they diagnosed my trucks transmission found nothing wrong and didn’t charge me a dime for the diagnosis. I highly recommend this business.
Larry Corrone
I highly recomend this shop for all of your transmission/differntial needs. I just had transmission replaced in my 2021 ford transit t250, excellent job and quick turnaround. Also worth mentioning is Ford dealership wanted to replace my transmission and differntial while guys at Capitol Transmission after their diagnosis said only tranmission needs to get changed, so they saved me bunch of money.
Mateusz Legowski
Everyone was so nice, probably the only mechanic I’ve felt comfortable taking my car to as a single female. They even gave me a free oil change! Will definitely come back if I have future car problems.
Carly
My transmission was having issues, especially going into drive. I brought it over to Capitol Transmission as a walk-in, and they accepted my vehicle that very day. Within a few hours, they called to inform me of what was wrong and what was needed. I ended up needing my transmission rebuilt. The process was not bad at all. My vehicle is running like a new car again. I definitely recommend them for all your transmission needs. Thanks again, guys.
ShaiKhai Kemp
I was recommended here by another mechanic and I’m glad I took my Jeep here, Paul and Brian are great. They are friendly and knowledgable, and the shop is clean and professional. They properly diagnosed what a pep boys had misdiagnosed, and got me taken care of and back on the road in a couple days at a fair price.
kasey kalloch
Paul helped me out with my transmission that gave out. As someone who knows nothing about cars, they were super transparent, quick kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
Gladi Suero
My highly trusted general mechanic recommend Brian from Capital Transmission to help me with my Mercedes. Going to a new mechanic can be a lil nerve wracking but Brian was extremely fair, honest, quick, and ethical. He has a lifetime customer with me and I would highly recommend him and Capital Transmission to anyone in the future that need transmission work. He took good care of my car and me and I would like to extend my sincere gratitude. Thanx for the awesome work guys
Cc Toce
Capitol Transmission was extremely prompt and professional while dealing with car troubles that no one wants. They are the most fair priced and honest guys you'd ever want working on your car. Couldnt recommend them enough
Sean Murph
Another shop told me my Subaru Outback needed a torque converter and catalytic converter. Brian at Capitol Transmission checked it and told me the tires were wearing unevenly and were loud and the driveshaft had a slight wobble. Saved me a bunch of money. I'm going to drive it the way it is. These guys are honest & professional. Highly recommend!
Lendsey Jackson
Paul and Brian were unbelievable. The quality of work and commitment to their customers is second to none. If I could give more than five stars I would.
David Snyder
I brought my truck here to have an issue checked out. These guys were very professional and helpful. They saved me LOTS of money. I highly recommend going here as you can trust these guys!!!!
Jason Zamagni
I really appreciate their honesty after Aamco in East Hartford told me I needed a $4000 transmission, they showed me why there was actually nothing wrong with my transmission
Melissa Renee
These guys were the absolute BEST!! Several local mechanics had recommended Capitol Transmission for a rebuild on my 2004 Honda Odyssey. They knew about Honda having a recall on these transmissions and they explained that there was a rebuild kit that would not only fix the problems I was having, but it would provide a bit better performance, smoother shifting, and they guaranteed the work for 100,000 miles. The rebuilt transmission now has over 200,000 miles on it and it is still running perfectly. They were professional, patient, polite, and from my experience, they certainly know what they are doing. The 04 Honda Odyssey has 320,000 miles on it right now and it is still rolling along on that rebuilt transmission from Capitol Transmission.
GM
Was going through a tough time finding a repair place that does transmission work. This place is amazing. Amazing customer service and also very affordable. I 100 percent recommend for anyone looking for an honest and reliable service. Thank you guys for the great work.
Destiny Gautier
Excellent custom service. Very courteous and professional all the way and asked all the right q’s about my Jeep transmission. I highly recommend Capital.
Brian Little
Capitol transmission was EXCELLENT! Very efficient and thorough work done by all the staff. As a female it can be intimidating to bring your car to the shop but everyone was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend bringing your car here if you want expertise and trustworthy staff! Thank you Paul and Brian!
Dags Hanley
My transmission was shifting hard and overheating .. I brought it in and they scanned the code and it came back as "Death code". Time to rebuild the transmission..i was expecting about $8000 as it is a Chevy 3500 dump truck..However they Quoted $5500 .expensive but better to pay for quality than go find cheap price and get bad quality..they had it done in a week, rebuilt it, flushed all the lines, while it was there they repaired a rear main engine seal that was leaking and fixed a leaky fuel line.. I expected to pay for the extra work but they said no it was included...i highly recommend them..my truck now runs great, no check engine light, no stress anymore...life is good when you deal with reputable people .. Thanks for the great service !!! Tom
Tom B
Fantastic team! They communicated well and helped get to the root cause of the issues my vehicle was having. Hopefully, I don't have any more car issues, but will definitely go back if needed.
Nick F
Replaced my Transmission in a timely manner. Corrected a few issues with no problem. Van is good as new. Great customer service by all at the shop. Recommended
John Nisyrios
I am giving 5 stars, A+, 100% and that is just the surface. I truly appreciate the customer service but also their knowledge and expertise. I was referred to Paul and Brian with super high regards and they seriously deliver. Not to sound cliche but these guys exude integrity.
Erick Castillo
They replaced my transmission. Fairly priced, especially given the 3 year warranty. I’m so glad they were able to restore my car to working condition.
Arianna Basche
I found Capitol Transmission & Auto Care through recommendation from a friend at work! I was so sad when I found out my Transmission went out on the day of my Birthday 😭(do emojis show? It’s the crying one)! Paul from Capitol Transmission checked my 2019 Nissan Sentra SR throughly! He ensured me the possibilities of what it could have been. He was informative and helpful throughout my whole process. I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of and felt comfortable my car was in good hands. All in all my transmission needed to be replaced and I am thankful for the support!
Melissa Rosewood
Got my transmission diagnosed and they've replaced my transmission on my Nissan Altima. They were flexible with the payments giving me time to comfortably come up with the money which I loved. Thank you to this place.
Comlan Adjoyi
The guys here are great. They're very professional and informative. They detailed exactly what was wrong with my transmission and gave me a fair estimate for the repair. The work was done in a reasonable time and they guarantee their work. Highly recommended!
Robert Hernandez
My dad and I were going through a tough time finding a repair place that does transmission work. This place is amazing. Amazing customer service and also very affordable. I 100 percent recommend for anyone looking for an honest and reliable service. Thank you guys for the great work.
Destiny Gautier
I recently had transmission issues with my recently purchased used car, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received from this repair shop. They were incredibly helpful, addressing the problem swiftly and going above and beyond to explain the issue and present my repair options. The team demonstrated integrity and a commitment to excellent service. I highly recommend this locally owned repair shop to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy transmission repairs.
Joel DeJong
Thank you Capital Transmission! Your service and workmanship are definitely 5 Star! I am so glad you were able to find all the parts to rebuild my transmission. It runs as if nothing ever happened! Maybe even better! I would definitely recommend you to anyone!
Lynn M
Paul was amazing, helped me with a do it yourself that I botched and gave me great perspective when trying to figure out whether to replace a transmission or buy a new car. Great family run place with honest quick service
James Meier
They were very welcoming and understanding. Great service. Very appreciative. Fixed my car in less than 5 minutes and made sure I was good to go. Thank you so much.
Jamilette Sanchez
Nothing short of a 10/10 experience with these guys. You are doing your vehicle a major disservice by not trusting your transmission work to Paul and Brian. Support local and leave it to a family run business since the 1930’s.
Lincoln G
I discovered Capital Transmission several years ago. I was told by a mechanic that I needed a new transmission, so I brought my car in for a second opinion. Brian and Paul thoroughly inspected the car, test drove it, and then explained that it just needed new spark plugs! They are professionals with integrity. They seem to think that if they do a good job and treat people fairly that good karma will come back to them in the long run. Three years later, when I really did need a new transmission, I went to them without hesitation. I tell everyone who will listen about Capital Transmission!
Jim Keane
These guys were amazing. I thought I had a transmission problem but after a road test it turns out that it was something else. He charged me not a penny, gave me a referral for where I should go and sent me on my way. It was wonderful. I hope I don’t have to see him soon but if no do, I’ll know where to go.
Erika Suarez
I had a great experience with Capital Transmission. That i'd like to share, Paul and Brian are first class. The customer service I received was outstanding. They not only rebuilt our transmission for a very reasonable price and timely. But Brian went above and beyond to find and replace a bad computer. The years of experience show's in everything they do. I highly recommend Capital transmission Very professional !! Thanks again JB
Joe Burger
Excellent, outstanding, professional, thorough, respectful, honest, customer centric = are some to the words I can think of this place. As soon as you walk in you can find an organized office, with friendly staff. Paul is exceptional with taking time to listen to your concerns and he will address them and explain the option, and Brian will also take care of you if Paul is not there. I CAN GIVE THEM A 120% , YES PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAR WITH CONFIDENCE TO THIS PLACE.
Bela Bartis
Love this place. Brian and Paul were thorough and responsive to my numerous questions. Even though I know very little about cars they didn’t make me feel like an idiot, which many car service techs tend to do with a young, inexperienced woman as a customer. They showed me the issues on the car in person and explained their reasoning, which helped me plan next steps. Definitely coming back here when I need it!
Morgan Lloyd
I thought my car had a transmission problem. I called Capitol Transmission and talked to Paul. He told me to bring it in and they would look at it. He called me and to my surprise it was not the transmission and the diagnostic test was at no charge. I truly recommend them for your car. I found them to be honest and they put the customer first. I will bring my car to them because I trust them with it.
Sabrina Smith
Ended up having a blown transmission. Paul and his team got me in quick and we’re able to get me a new transmission installed in only a few business days. They really went above and beyond for me and I will continue to use their services anytime I have troubles. Thank you again for the swift repair and top notch customer service. A+
Stragg81
Paul was very helpful and committed to helping me with my vehicle. When my transmission went bad in my Nissan out of nowhere.. Paul was adamant about getting my vehicle into the shop quickly before a larger problem could arise. He fit me into his very busy schedule and got the job done 👍🏻 The whole staff was very helpful and efficient. Exceptional service, I will definitely be returning if I need something in the future.
Dylan Murray
This outfit is the best. First, my niece came here a couple years ago and she was very happy. I came on the recommendation of another garage, as I thought my transmission was loud and shifting roughly. They checked it and drove my car, and told me everything was fine. No charge. The waiting area is spotless. Capitol Transmission belongs on your A-list.
janelfamily
The guys are great conversationalist, and very down to earth. They were completely upfront and honest with me told me exactly what my transmission was going to cost even though it ended up being a little bit cheaper. Their shop was absolutely impeccable. There wasn’t a piece of dust on the floor and everything was well organized, up and out-of-the-way. Their office was the same. That says a lot about how a business operates. The guys were kind to me accommodating and had a quick turnaround. -Chase Jaeger
Jaeger Marine
I have had several experiences with Capitol Transmission. They are always fair, communicative, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for any of your mechanical needs.
Julie Lemos
Came across this business on Yelp after searching far and wide in the area for auto shops that provide great service and priced reasonably, with no sacrifice to quality. Needed my car towed for a transmission replacement, and Paul was very accommodating and informative from start to finish. The job was completed quickly and Paul even went so far to replace other worn out parts at no charge. Would recommend this shop to any and everyone going forward. Only bad thing I can say is rating them 10 stars is not an option.
enrique santiago
Brian was extremely helpful when my car broke down a long way from home. He spent the time to talk through the issue with me on the phone, come up with a plan before I arrived, and had us back on the road in no time! He charged me a fair price for excellent service and saved me hundreds on what a dealer wanted to charge.
Nathan Langford
In 1975 I bought a 1969 Cutlass Supreme with about 68,000 miles. A year later at about 80,000 miles the transmission went. Brought it to Capital transmission for a rebuilt transmission. I sold the car 24 years later with 283,000 miles. Never had a single problem with the transmission.
Chris Glista
Paul and Brian are first class from A-Z the customer service I received at Capital Transmission was like nothing I've ever experienced before in my life. Sincerely James Cass 01/28/2023 Had a check engine light on so I thought it could be the transmission and after Brian and Paul did diagnostics they found out it wasn't transmission related but the oil pump. I am writing this review because Brian and Paul treated me like I was a family member, first class from A-Z.These guys are special you need to bring your car here.
james cass
This place is amazing! Very true to their work they communicate well and make sure everything is right. I had a transmission replacement and my car has been running amazing since! Appreciate them greatly 10 out of 10 for sure
Jeffrey Clemons
Great place to take your car for transmission work. Brought my older Camry in and they were able to fix it without having to do major repairs as other shops would have gone the most expensive way to do so. They were upfront, honest and to top it off I wasn’t even charged for the labor. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring any other cars here if I needed work done!
Chris Walton
They got the work done (transmission on my Nissan Rogue) with no trouble so far and gave me a 3 year warranty. They were able to accommodate me quickly and they were finished even sooner than originally anticipated. All interactions run in a professional manner from start to finish. Clean shop. Very nice, friendly, patient staff/ owners as well. I also compared what they offered me to a couple of other highly rated services in this area and they beat others in overall estimate. Will be using them in the future if needed.
MagdaLena Santelli
I took my sons vehicle for a second opinion after being told that he would need a new transmission. Brian and Paul were excellent in getting me in quickly and diagnosing the issue. It turned out the car did not need a new transmission, just some wires that were not reattached after a previous service. The service was great and I appreciate the honesty and integrity of this business. I will definitely be returning to have my cars serviced in the future and I would recommend them!
April Guertin
If you think you can't find reliable, honest and trustworthy car service anymore then you have not tried Capitol! I found them through a local service shop because the recommended repairs were more specialized. I know very little about cars and even less about transmissions but Capitol took the time to explain everything thoroughly to me and educate me through friendly conversation. This is a great shop with a great real team. I highly recommend them and I'll defiantly be back if needed.
Daniel Cheever
The team at Capitol Transmission were amazing. When the transmission light on my car turned on another shop wasn't able to see my car for a month. I called Capitol Transmission and they were able to check my car and fix it up within a week of me calling. The team were great at communicating about any fixes my car may need. I would highly recommend their location for any of your car needs.
Neysha Ortega
After discussing my transmission issues that didn’t work. Brian & Paul put me at ease. The car is running great now. It’s been a wonderful experience very professional & knowledgeable. Would recommend 100%. Helping small family Business . Capitol transmission your the Best.!!!
Albert Pena
I had a great experience with Capitol Transmission and would recommend their services to anyone. I brought in my Nissan with what I thought was a broken transmission, but after they took a look they told me it was just a damage transmision pan. They replaced the part quickly and for a very fair price. The owner was very understanding, helpful, and has great communication. He even took the time to thoroughly explain the issue with my car, and what to look out for in the future. I will definitely be returning to this mechanic.
Aurora Trani
Thank you so much for your help! Your garage helped us make an informed decision to transport the van home safely. Thank you again
Anthony Sparks
As soon as you walk into Capitol Transmission you know you are working with professionals who are honest. They are smart, friendly, and very much know transmissions. In my case, the found that no repair was needed and did not charge me for the diagnosis. I strongly recommend Capitol Transmission.
Glenn Knight
Top-Notch! Their rebuild and reinstallation of the automatic transmission on my 20 year-old Acura couldn't have gone any better. It drives like a new car! Their communication was always immediate. Their "worked needed" explanations were super easy to understand. The warranty and price for services rendered are super-competitive, especially when compared to a dealership. I'll ONLY use them for transmission work moving forward!
Jason Almeida
Moved here from New York and needed a local mechanic. These guys are extremely friendly , fair and competent. they fixed my transmission.I wouldn’t bring my truck anywhere else. They have since helped me with other issues. Don’t mess around with your vehicle, TAKE IT HERE ! Fair pricing, reliable work. Brian makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. Thanks guys .
Gregory Mcnamee
I highly recommend Capitol Transmission. Paul was great to work with and the service was completed to my satisfaction. The price was also very reasonable.
Kathy A
You can trust these guys. I took my Nissan Maxima in because it has a transmission related diagnostic code. They evaluated it and determined that Nissan would actually cover the cost if the Nissan dealership did the work. Even though Capitol Transmission knew they wouldn’t end up with the job they did the “right thing” and helped me out. I hope I never need a transmission but if I do I know where I’m going to go. Thanks guys for helping me out and doing the right thing.
bob graulich
Very professional, very friendly, and accommodating. I needed transportation while my car was being repaired and they provided a loaner car. Work was done to my complete satisfaction
ken walker
OUTSTANDING!!!! SO BEAUTIFUL! CLEAN AND ORGANIZED I ACTUALLY JOKED WITH THEM AND SAID "DOES A WOMAN WORK HERE?" CUSTOMER SERVICE! BRAVO! BRAVO! CAPITOL TRANSMISSION! YES! I HAVE ALREADY REFERRED YOU TO FRIENDS ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kim Cannon
Having to replace a transmission is no fun at all. However when it was my turn, Paul and Brian made the experience much less painful. It did take longer to get parts due to supply chain issues but the car runs beautifully. AND, while we waited, Brian noticed one of the ext mirrors was damaged. HE REPLACED IT NO CHARGE. Who does that??? Did I mention the free loaner? So, no matter what your car needs, these gentleman deserve your business, period!!
Stephen Johnson
Brian was SO wonderfully helpful. I was traveling to see a friend and had car issues on the drive to CT. Brian got me in early on Saturday morning, the day before Easter, to help and diagnosis the problem. They were super speedy and VERY friendly. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Thank you so very much for taking such good care of me and my car.
Katharine Judson-Yager
Brought my car down for a second opinion, because my dealership told me I needed a new transmission and I didn't belive them. Had my car towed to capitol and were able to look at it within a day, was told all I needed was a new sensor! I would highly recommend this place for anyone , very nice honest and professional friendly people . I will be going back if I have any concerns with my car.
Steve Morin
I would highly recommend Capotol Transmission & Auto Care. Paul and his team are extremely honest, trustworthy, and efficient. They saved us over $5,600!!! A local Honda dealer told us we needed a new transmission for my son's car and all it needed was a new sensor. I can't THANK them enough for their professionalism, kindness, and follow through. They were heaven sent :). I am so thankful we brought my son's car to them for a second opinion. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to bring my car to them for future repairs and we live in MA. Thank you again for your World Class service and experience!!
Rosemarie Morin
I had my 2017 Ford Fusion repaired @ Capitol Transmission and it rides like new, I previously had an issue when on vacation in Florida and although the service in Florida was quick they placed a defect fly wheel that only lasted 9 months. I dealt mostly with Brian who handle both warranty companies that covered the repair and rebuilt the transmission. I am so happy with the car it rides better then when I picked it up from the dealer I'd recommend Paul and Brian to anyone needing extensive transmission work.
Paul Greene
Couldn't be happier with my service at Capital Transmission. I had a handful of things going on with my 2007 Corolla. Paul quickly responded to my appointment request and I was able to drop my car off first thing Monday morning. Brian was welcoming and helpful. They were able to get the work done on my car within the same day, because they knew I needed it back ASAP. When I heard a sound coming from the car within a few days after pickup they happily took a look at it again and solved the issue. I will refer anyone who needs any auto help to Capital!!! I would certainly drive a distance just to go here!
Michelle Kahn
I had an emergency, and they understood.They took me right in. Completely rebuilt my transmission and got me back on the road. Awesome Response Time! Great Job!
Joe Seff
I brought my car in for what appeared to be some serious transmission issues. Every shift was extremely laggy, or would completely slip. They called me a few hours later and said they found a shorted wire that was causing it and sent me on my way for no charge. My car hasn’t ran this smooth in as long as i can remember. These are really good, honest technicians and I’ll definitely be coming back here for future issues!
James Cudo
Thank you for fixing my daughter's transmission on her Jeep. The service and turn around was excellent.
steven leblanc
I appreciate all the help they provided me with my transmission great customer service would recommend to friends and family
Janet Santiago
Fantastic experience! Shop was able to work on my car quickly, fixed and returned. I would highly recommend to anyone who has an issue, not just transmission related. I’ve found my new car mechanic, and it’s these guys.
David Wolfert
I was very impressed with the excellent cutomer service i received. The time and the repair were handled very proffessional. I would definately reccomnend Capital Transmission to my friends and family. Thank you Lisa
Lisa Jaffray
Outstanding service!!! 👍Explained in detail everything that needed to be worked on and no hidden charges. If you’re looking for a great transmission shop, this is the place!
Dhaval Patel
Great service! Definitely stand by their warranty 110%, even if owner exceeds vehicle's performance. Searched out, fixed and replaced parts to make sure vehicle in top performance. Thanks.
Scott Woods
My rebuilt transmission is better than the original, car is running great and very smooth, thank you Capitol Transmission!!
Anna Harris

I really enjoyed working with Capitol Transmission. They offer a service where they will set up a kind of payment plan and store your vehicle for you until you are able to pay your bill in full. I dealt with Paul and he was very kind and patient on the phone and in person. I appreciated his clear and matter of fact way of explaining things. I even tried to get some free advice (hey, I’ll take what I can get) and he was more than happy to oblige and chat for a bit. You can definitely feel good about bringing your vehicle here!

Very professional, very friendly, and accommodating. I needed transportation while my car was being repaired and they provided a loaner car. Work was done to my complete satisfaction

These guys are awesome. My car broke down with transmission problems. I had it towed to their site based on other's recommendations. The identified that the issue is the transmission, but then also took the added step to call a dealer and find out if it was still under warranty. They called to let me know that it was and that I should have it brought to the dealer instead. You don't find this type of honestly and integrity often, these guys are great.

My name is Jeannie. I have used Capital Transmission several times. I have used them for big and small jobs. Brian and Paul have been amazing. They have always been fair, worked with me and always made sure I was a satisfied customer. They go on beyond their way, but the most important thing I can say and value is their honesty. I will continue to use them for my servicing of all my cars :-) thank you guys for always being their for me!

We were referred to Capitol Transmission by our regular mechanics to troubleshoot an unknown transmission issue. They were able to get us in quickly and look at the issue right away. When it turned out to be a small and easy fix, they addressed it promptly and were transparent, honest, and fair in billing and communication. We would highly recommend Capitol Transmission to any local friends and will absolutely use them in the future.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I drive a Chevy Trailblazer and recently suffered my second blown transmission in less than two years. When I called Capitol, the staff was very courteous, very professional, and highly knowledgeable about what they were doing. They rebuilt my transmission for a reasonable price and guaranteed their work with a three year 100k mile warrantee. My car has not driven as well as it now does since the original transmission came out. I am so satisfied that I personally called them to thanked them for a job well done. It feels like brand new again and I am loving it.

First of all, Brian and Paul at Capital Transmission are regular guys who understand and put their customers first. I needed a tranny and Paul was up front about the price of the it and what was needed to be done. When the truck was finished everything was working properly. Brian went out of his way to fix a few other things that were wrong about the truck on his own, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend Capital Transmission, thank you again Paul and Brian!

Paul & Brian at Capital Transmission & Auto were awesome! My car was leaking transmission fluid. They took the car evaluated it and fixed it at a very reasonable price. What more could you ask for! Highly recommend for any auto repair.

This business and their team are above any beyond any regular repair center. I expect good service and value no matter where I go but these guys in my first interaction with them show they go above and beyond. Highly recommended! I can say I've never worked with a service center I have liked or done business with twice, nor have ever recommended one in my life, but these guys will gain all my future business simply due to honesty and trust.

Paul and his team are friendly, thorough, and above all, trustworthy. Despite a decided lack of car-knowledge, Paul walked me through each step of inspection of my vehicle without any technical jargon or shady fees and practices. I've definitely found my go-to for any and all things related to my vehicle, and couldn't recommend Capitol Transmission enough! If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I highly recommend Capitol Transmission and Auto Care. Paul and Brian were professional and diligent. Capitol Transmission extended courtesies that I would have otherwise had to pay for if those tasks were performed by any another shop or dealership...I received quotes from three other shops/dealerships and Capitol Transmission’s quote was lower and offered a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. If you have transmission issues, look no further! Take my advice and bring your vehicle to Capitol Transmission.

This place is awesome! When my transmission went, Paul and his team took care of it in a timely manner and with so much professionalism. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and his customer service is impeccable. I was more than satisfied with the results and would recommend this place to anyone with no hesitation. After my encounter here, its no wonder why this Capital Transmission takes so much pride in their business.
