These guys stated that my transmission was shot and charged me 2500$ to repair. I brought the truck in claiming that the truck jumped in and out of over drive. Attached is the absolutely jank work they apparently did. Some of these repairs arent even associated with the repair I asked for. My own mechanic has attested to the trash work they did on my vehicle. When I told the people at shiftrite that they did not even fix my issue, they passed me off to someone else. No refund. At best incompetence, at worst outright sheisters. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR/TRUCK THERE.

Predatory business... when I told other automotive shops where i went after realizing i made the mistake of letting randy work on my vehicle, (that was never actually repaired after about 5000 dollars of work) they exclaimed that this was not the first time they have heard horror stories about Shift Rite.

Randy and his guys did great work on my car. My alternator went out and my car was ready in less than 24 hours. Randy was straightforward with the price. I would recommend ShiftRite.

I spoke to the Manager (Randy) on Friday 2-12-21 regarding a transmission filter & fluid change.He suggested I bring my car in and leave it for at least 2 hours. He also told me the cost would be with tax around $170.00.So, today;I dropped my car off at 8 am.I came back at 10:30 amMy car was on the ground, as it was finished.The cost $177.00So bottom line.... Word kept!!!Thank you for the great customer service!!

I spoke with Nancy and Ordered a rebuilt 46RE Dodge transmission! I guess I took a risk ? I did internet searches for the Best Value! I was going to spend more for a “Purple “ transmission? Nancy assured Me that if I had any issues She would Help! This is No fake review! I paid full price! It just Works! It shifts and drives like New! My gas mileage is dropping cause I no longer need to baby my second gear!

Explained everything re. transmission and exhaust system and even went for ride with me so I could ask question about a noise I was hearing.Worked with me on the price and also fixed A/C for $75 which I was very happy about. Would definitely recommend Randy and the shop.

I took my car there for an estimate. After a few hours I get a call from Randy. He tells me what the price is and says he’ll start working on it the next day. When I asked him for a written estimate he said the person who knows how to send emails already went home. He said he told me the price so I really shouldn’t need a written estimate. He finally did send me an estimate but his whole fast talking act made me want to check him out a little more.After reading terrible reviews and many good reviews that are said to be fake, I told him I was going to pick up my car the next day. He sent me a text saying it’s a shame that I wasted his time! That reassured me I made the right decision. If he doesn’t know how to send an email, I wouldn’t trust him rebuilding my transmission! Stay away from the shop!!! Very shady!!!!

Beware of their business practices. I gave them 1 star only because zero stars or negative stars are allowed.I regret that I decided to use ShiftRite without visiting the shop. If I had visited the shop, I would not have let them touch my car. I do not feel like I was dealt with in an honest fashion.I visited the shop only after they started working on my car and too late to change my mind. The ShiftRite shop is the dirtiest transmission shop I have ever been in and the owner (Randy) can not make eye contact during a conversation.I was quoted an out the door price, only to find out that it did not include sales tax. Randys justification is that everyone knows that all prices include tax. I have no idea how he can justify this BS statement as every place else I have been quoted an out the door price is the price I paid.In addition I was told that it would take 2 days to complete the repair yet they had my car for 4 1/2 days. No apologies or communications about the delays. I always had to call the shop to see if my car was ready as promised. No proactive communication from Randy.The repair lasted all of 2 weeks, blamed on a faulty part. The good news is that they did honor their warranty but it took almost 3 weeks to get my car back. According to them the reason it took so long is that the parts they received were wrong and then had to wait for correct part to be shipped in. The next excuse was, they received the correct part it failed when they installed the part. The next excuse was that due to the GM strike the parts we unavailable and no aftermarket parts could be found. After all of this BS, I found parts available in town, I called to verify parts availability. I even offered to pick up the parts to expedite the repairs.... only then did work seem to start on my car. I got my car back 2 days later.Was the repair perfect. NODid the car have new issues after the call. YES.The car is a front wheel drive car and the car had noise that was coming from the CV joints that it never had before. Also the wheel well liners were put in without fastness and one fell out while driving and was damaged requiring replacement.I did not take my car back to address these issues. After my experiences I do not feel like they would competently and safely repair my vehicle.

Every single one of the positive reviews here are FAKE!! Read them, theyre FAKE. This place is the slimiest, shadiest, most dishonest business I have ever dealt with. Randy is deceitful and has no reservations about ripping you off. They ripped me off to the tune of $2k and damaged the vehicle in the process. Read the reviews carefully, youll see that pattern of deceit out of this place. Theres another reputable transmission shop right down the road less than a mile away, Dunedin Transmission, and AAMCO is a couple miles. 1 star only because zero or negative stars is not possible.

I was very pleased with the way i was treated and the way Randy had my transmission replaced. I new thetransmission was ruined by my son when i had the car towed to them. With this being said my car was up and running in 2 days, will definitely recommend Shiftrite to anyone who needs transmission repairs or replacement.

Brought my jeep here because of transmission issues. They said it wasnt the transmission instead replaced my pulley and alternator for almost $900. 2 weeks later its my transmission and they wanted me to pay another $750 to just take apart my transmission. They are NOT the only shop in the area that works on cvt transmissions, there is another shop less than a mile away which is where I took it for a complete rebuild. Randy doesnt listen to customers.

My sister took her Hyundai here to look at the transmission. She paid $650 and they had the nerve to charge her $45 TAX. She told the guy that estimates were not taxable as no parts were used. He charged her anyway. She is dealing with a lot so didnt have the strength to fight it. But I do! This is tax fraud and Ill be reporting them to Pinellas County Tax Collector. They also did not give her a written estimate as required by law.

From the first time I went in to Shift Rite I have been treated with nothing but professionalism and respect. They provide the most caring service and will do anything to make sure I am satisfied with not only the price but the work that was completed as well. Because of their dedication I can only give the same in return, I will continue to be a loyal and dedicated customer to show my appreciation. Thanks guys!

My experience is always amazing! I have been coming to Shift Rite for over 5 years and my experience has always been great. Randy is very honest and hardworking. I recommend everyone to come get their automobile here for maintenance or problems that arise. Great job ! & Thank you!

Initial service from the quote process to the finished service was exactly what it was said it would be, and their price was better then anyone else I could find offering same level of work and professionalism. Service after the sale was as good as the first visit which was something completely unrelated to the transmission but they gave me the time and information without any issues,, top mechanics at fair rates.. great job shift rite!!

Hands down the best experience I have had with a mechanic. Spent 45 min with my car running diagnostics, and found the problem just like that. 100% honest with me in telling me that it wasnt dire to do the repair now. They could have pressed me to get the work done now to make the money now but didnt. I appreciate the value they place on my peace of mind and their integrity.

I recommend without hesitation. Randy took care of my car without trying to upsell me on anything. The rate was fair and they got me in and out. Great Service!

Clutch went out on my ranger. Fixed it in 1 day for a fair price. Works great! Thanks.

My wife has a Chevy Equinox and noticed it was slipping as well as a banging noise. I brought it to a few places in the area for estimates (Ive lived in the area for over 15 years and know a lot of the local shops) When I spoke to Randy, he was very knowledgeable and confident in the problem and work to be done. I felt comfortable leaving our family car with Shiftrite. I got my wife a rental thinking the work would take an extended period of time. I was surprised when Randy called that the work was completed after two days. The price was exactly what he said it would be. My wife hasnt heard the noise and the car has been driving smoothly. We wont hesitate to bring both of our cars here in the future.

Im very dissatisfied today my son got a flat tire on his bike and he attends the school next door his coach suggested he stopped in said theyd probably be glad to help you out, no they wanted to charge him some awful amount to put a tiny bit of air in his tire . Hes 13. We will never use your place for our auto needs..

Nice managment and service excelent.Good job and warranty in tramsmision repair

The manager and mechanic were excellent in their diagnosis with my problems! They were courteous and patient explaining the best solutions to resolve my concerns. The Manager went above and beyond working with my financial situation when trying to afford fixing an aging work truck that is my livelihood! The mechanic on duty worked after hours with determination to get me back in my company vehicle as soon as he could. I would highly recommend Shiftrite to anyone who needs honest and reliable work done! I certainly will be spreading the word! Thank you guys! Sincerely, T-Bird Construction LLC

Hands down the best experience I have had with a mechanic. Spent 45 minutes with my car running diagnostics and found the problem just like that. 100% honest with me in telling that it wasnt dire to do the repair now.

Needed our Transmission replaced in our old Chevy. We got a couple quotes and decided to go with Shift Rite Transmission because they had the best price and knowledge. The service was completed on time and price was exactly what they quoted.

Service was great and staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Explained everything and I was confident they were doing a good job. Car is better than ever so I know they did. We will be back.

The bill was what he said it was going to be he did not upsell me. No trips are leaks after he was done good job

When the tranny went out in my Chevy I thought the worst, naturally, but thanks to Shift Rite I didnt have a heart attack when I got the bill! I had received some quotes around town but decided on Shift Rite because they were the cheapest. Not only did they have the best price, they knew their stuff. Couldnt believe the most knowledgeable team of guys could do such a great job for the lowest price! They 100% earned my business and I will be recommending them to my buddies.

I have worked with Randy for over 10 years and I have never had a problem. His honest and knowlege won me over years ago I am refuse to take any of my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks again for taking care of me yesterday Randy!!!

If I could give none I would.. terrible experience! ! Run away from this place... sadly I spend thousand of dollars there.... and keep taking my car because my dad keep saying my car was 2004 and was asking for new parts. But my car had never given so many issues.... he would fix something and when was taking back because of same problem it would result in something else and it would be more than 600 bucks always the fixed.. couple of time he would treat me like a liar whe questions where asked.. when asked for receives of parts he will say no cause he is buying them cheaper. Guy is a joke and very nasty when u question him and ask for money back... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.. they say they fixed ur car but it will keep giving problems and its always something new its a SCAM...this place should be investigated!

I was warned about this business, after I dropped my car off to get services smfh, then I looked at theme ratings and was I disappointed, so they worked on my car, it took a week for something so minor, I went to pick up my car after a week once again, and was told a price out of this world, after he told me a whole different price over the phone, spoke with some other mechanics, and was told I was ripped off. But it’s cool, the BBB will be informed about this, and readers be aware of rating saying the same thing, they make profiles just to add ratings, most saying the same thing. But god has me covered, no one should mess with a real child of god! Ijs! Jah bless! And also be careful, randy has a slick mouth, calls people Moran’s and etc, heard him afew times!

Best transmission service in town. Got 2 quotes and Shift Rite Transmission had the best price. I am very happy with the service.

Yes it seems like this place is run by a crack head. People are Crooks spelled with a Capital C. Look at their reviews most of them that are favorable are fake. the ones that are genuine you can tell by the writing. Ive been in the Tampa Bay area for 57 years , and this is the worst company that Ive ever seen.

Ever notice the fake post say the same thing. They start how their car was running bad and by the grace of god scummy Randy save them from the brink of disaster .Give me a break. Read the post carefully and then decide if you want to take the chance on a lying ripoff artist.

Your stereotypical seedy mechanic. Your vehicle comes back with several problems previously non existent and a high quote for repairs to those problems given. I wouldnt trust Randy with a house plant let alone my means of earning a living

We had our truck repaired and we are happy with the services done as well as the price. Thank you for the great service!

I was in Dunedin visiting from Pennsylvania when my transmission started leaking severely. I brought my Mercedes by Shift-rite and Randy personally pointed out what happened and detailed how they would fix it. Thank you!!

Every time I come in the owner gives me the best service and is upfront & honest with me. Their pricing has always been the best and they get the job done right!

Been going there for 8 yrs and my opinion the best anywhere you will find I recommend everybody give them a try you wont be sorry .

Brought our car in for a FREE check and Randy came back and said the pressure is low and its throwing metal, we have to get into it deeper. Before we knew it they had it ripped apart and told us the car was not reliable to drive. We trusted them and paid over $2k for a complete rebuild. It was never right after that and 12 months later it slips and bangs into gear in addition to the fenders being scratched up now . Now were faced with just selling the car and taking a huge loss on it. NEVER AGAIN.**Seriously people, to you really believe all those 5-star reviews are real? Ask to verify one of them. Theyre all FAKE! The place is a SCAM.**

Staff was very courteous and professional; took great care of my family and I. Their knowledge and efficiency is why we will keep coming back!

We use Shift Rite Transmissions because they are knowledgeable and have the best prices around. Always great service, never expect anything less.

Fantastic Service!My beautiful 2011 Mazda HB was experiencing transmission issues. The RPMs randomly revved up while driving, the switching of gears felt very sluggish and the ATL light came on. I brought my car to Shift Rite Transmission & Auto Service in Dunedin after being told by a local mechanic that I needed a new transmission or a new car.Shift Rite ran diagnostic testing and the results were received the same day. A few new parts were all that was needed.The service was completed on time and the price was just as we had discussed. It’s been 3 months since I’ve had the repair done and my Mazda is running great! I’m so happy I went to Shift Rite for a second opinion. Thank you for saving me thousands!

The prices were reasonable and the service was completed as schedules. We will be referring your business for the great service.

Since there is no option of leaving no star, I am giving one, but that is generous! Took my car there for slipping transmission, did not think to call around other places...weve lived in area for 25 years and know this outfit has been at that location for a long time....that was our mistake. The car was never fixed right and we paid $2,400 for replacing torque converter. At one time Shiftrite had our car for over 2 weeks (we took it back since repairs have a one year/12,000 miles warranty) and got all kind of explanations, but mainly that all troubles were due to electrical shorts and that was not covered by warranty. Car was jerking so badly from 3rd to 2nd that it startled me and spilled drinks and would not move when in reverse or drive. To make a long story short, after 3 months of getting nowhere, finally took it to dealership. They diagnosed internal failure and installed a BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION - total cost of $2,700.00!! (versus 2,400 to install a torque converter!!). My request for some kind of refund are of course being ignored! Stay away from Randy Fisher and ShiftRite is my advice

Very rushed and shady my clutch was just repaired there and the shifter came completely out today leaving me on the side of the road and they say its not their fault at all. No apologies kind of shop! Not good business.

I Will NEVER use this place againI took my car to ShiftRite (isnt the correct word right?) after seeing their sign in front of their shop - $99.50 for transmission fluid exchangeAfter I dropped off the car, and was waiting for my ride to pick me up... I talked a bit with the desk guy. I asked how often trans fluid should be changed. His answer was, “manufacturer suggests every 100,000 miles, we recommend every year in the fl heat” Hmmmmm – seemed odd to meAs I got in my friend’s car (who just pulled up to get me) my friend pointed out a van sitting in the lot… engine pulled, chained to (and hanging on) a 4x4 that was literally resting on the corner panels on each side of the engine compartment … and I pointed out the mechanic sitting on the curb with a small hatchet… working on some tree roots??? holly Sonford and son – I should got back in my car and left… wish I didA few hours later I returned to get the car. The guy at the desk said it was $125 – I asked why non $99.50 – his answer “ that’s an old price, don’t know why the owner doesn’t change it” ???I thought this was all odd but wasnt too upset, this is still a lot cheaper than the dealer costs, and most other places. I said ok and payed . 10 minutes after leaving I get a call from the shop asking me to return, they gave me the wrong receipt. I said I couldn’t return before they close at 1 but would swing by Monday.When I went home I checked my trans fluid levels. It was noticeably low.On Monday I went back to swap receipts and asked the owner “Randy” to check the levels. He sent out a guy from the garage who said it was fine. I asked “why do you say it’s fine, it’s an inch below the dipstick mark and obviously low”? He seemed unhappy with my response and said ,“Fine I’ll add more...” – I went and got Randy. Randy explained it was better to be low than high and spilling out all over the place ???? None of this sounded right to me but i dont know anything about transmissions.I then asked Randy why I wasn’t charged the $99.50 like the sign said, and he got defensive and loud. He started to huff and puff over the fact that I had Synthetic fluid and was undercharged…. And started to yell for the mechanic to tell come over and confirm to me it was synthetic.I wasn’t gonna go any further. I left.I now have a leaky transmission. I have fluid all over my garage and driveway. $450 – 700 to get the pan replaced because there is some damage causing it to leakThis never happened before I went to ShiftWrong.Buyer beware - this place is shaddy, and so is Randy and I will listen to my gut feelings next timerun away, dont walk

This place sucks! Been in and out since August 2012. Just got it back Saturday from the seventh time in there. It broke down again on Monday. Im sueing and picketing! This guy messed with the wrong one.

I needed some Transmission Repair Service done to my ’09 Chevy Silverado. Our truck was having problems going into third gear. They fixed our problems for less than we expected and we are happy to have our truck back to normal. Will be back again.

Trustworthy shop. Stoddard behind their work

TERRIBLE in every way. Dishonest, overpriced, and they took three weeks to fix my transmission and at the end i had to take it somewhere else to get it fixed. total waste of anyones time and money to go there

If I could leave the less than 1 star I would. randy is a crook and a thief when our car broke down we called him because his website said free estimates, he said sure bring it on up Ill look at it for you! He called stating it would be 1895 to repair the truck and then proceeded to try to convince us to put 1875 into a truck thats only worth 3000. We declined and when we showed up with a tow truck to take it home he demanded $275 plus tax to release the vehicle stating his men had three to four hours into diagnosing it. After hearing this news I did some research (with you all should too ) hes a scam artist he will break something in your car that will slowly break down the line so that you have to bring it back. the warranties he offers dont really cover anything. Its too bad that people take advantage of you when youre in such a vulnerable situation. Please people do your research before you decide on where to bring your car truck

Every since I began driving Ive been coming here and so has my family, I dont think I will ever go anywhere else.

Awful complete con avoid at all cost if you want your car running properly and cash in your bank this man will lie and keep your car hostage plus the work he claims is done is a piss poor job one star is far too many

My family has been coming here for years and now that I am driving, I use them for all of my auto needs.

Great People!!!
