i went to fisher transmission to have my transmission rebuilt . I was recommended by my mechanic saying they are the best in the buisness and from what I read they were . My total cost for my escape to have it rebuilt was $3,000 . The car ran great until last friday Sepetember 1 when it started slipping the overdrive light was flashing along with check engine light . I was able to get it home it still drives forward but no reverse and moves forward in neutral . The fluid is black and burnt smell its destroyed. How can it last a year and 11 months only 18,000 miles on it ?. So now i'm without a vehicle retired and have to find another car . So it's quite obvious there rebuilt job was crappy .

fishers new owners are only about making money at the customers expense
all of the reviews on fisher transmission are from 2012 or 2010 which are all favorable reviews which i agree with. back then pete and russ owned fisher transmission and they did great work at a fair price.
20the new owners today 2023 are thieves. they are only interested in making money at the customer expense, i have a 1966 chevy c10 p.ckup truck which is a very simple machine by todays sta.ndards. i brought my truck to fishers because my trans which is an aftermarket richmond 4 speed was locked up . the truck would not go forward or backward unless i pushed in the clutch. then the truck would roll. when i brought the truck there i told them to call me and let me know what the problem was because i could buy a brand new trans for 2100 dollars. about a week later i called them and they told me there was a defect in the tailshaft housing and that they orderd a new tailshaft housing. well come to find out they replaced my tailshaft housing with a used part and charged me 2600 dollars . when i asked about the price they told me it was about the labor cost. i thought that was bs because if you take four bolts out of the belhousing and two bolts to disconnect the shifter linkage and four bolts to take the driveshaft out the whole trans comes out. then when you put the trans on the bench its four nuts to take the tailshaft off. so they replaced the tailshaft with a used part and a new tailshaft seal and put it back together and charged me 2600 dollars. i could have bought a brand new trans for 2100 dollars. a plumber friend of mine brought his truck to fisher and they charged him 1000 dollars over the price he was quoted over the phone. when he called to see if his truck was done they said yes come and pick it up. when he got there the bill was 1000 dollars more than what they told him

AMAZING!
This is our first time posting an online review, but it couldn't be for a more deserving business with such exceptional employees. Fisher Transmission and Steve are a true class act!
If there would be an option for 100 stars it wouldn't be enough to recognize their outstanding service, caring and competence.
We were with our whole family in our RV on the 280, far from home, when smoke billowed out from the undercarriage late Thursday night. We waited until Friday morning and contacted a mechanic which had high online ratings who although was unable to handle a 35 foot Motorhome highly recommended we get towed to Fisher Transmission, saying as we found out for ourselves, they are truly top of the line. The heavy duty tow truck driver said the same when towing us - and oh were they correct!
Upon arriving, Steve came out with cold water bottles - unasked - understanding we were stuck at the side of the road for many hours, and although he was booked solid, took from his own lunch break time to see if he can help us get back on the road. His demeanor, both humble and professional, with such calmness - was so remarkable and reassuring during the stressful experience.
When he realized that our transmission would not be able to be repaired in time for our weekend trip to continue as planned, he generously offered us to leave our Motorhome in the lot over the weekend and rent a vehicle locally so we could join our friends for our weekend trip.
Although the experience was definitely traumatic, meeting such exceptional people like Steve, made for the most wonderful memories.
If you would like to speak to us personally please reach out to Steve - we gave him permission to give out our number - it's the least we can do to recognize such an extraordinary establishment staffed by such exceptional people.

great shop
took my 2008 hyundai with only 60,000 miles to them with a small transmission fluid leak. I had previously been to Hyundai service and they told me that they would have to drop the tran ($500) to find the problem and then they might not be able to fix it and I might have to replace the tran ($3700).
Steve instead tried to fix the problem inexpensively first , before moving on to more expensive. After a few tries (new o-ring/sealant/tightening) the problem was solved ! and he only charged my $70 !!
Extremely reputable, knowledgeable and honest! I wiil certainly be taking my car to them in the future for any future auto issues.,
Bob said they were very courteous and their prices are fair.
