Gears Transmissions---- Horrific treatment and much worse repairs (2615 Canal St Panama City Fla.)
"Gears Transmissions of 2615 Canal St, Panama City Fl. 32405" ruined my pristine 2006 Honda van and charged me $6400.00 cash up front for the destruction they caused!
They prey on elderly people with the ability to pay.
They do not take credit cards to avoid taxes and credit card company intervention.
They "rebuilt" rebuilt the transmission twice and broke the motor mounts and heat shield on re installation.
Gears did not know how to adjust shift lever, it takes several times moving the lever back and forth to get the key out of the ignition. My wife cannot drive this unsafe van, We can't take the van out of town for fear of not making it back.
I wrote them a letter demanding my money back. They have not responded. Their "Lifetime warranty" is a worthless piece of paper. It has been a year and a half for me nursing this "Pristine" van around in the local area. Gears Transmissions, for $6400 has made my pristine Honda van worthless.
Maybe this will help someone else avoid being taken to "the cleaners" by Gears Transmissions.

November 14 2012 I took my car to AAMCO (GEARS) for transmission work. My first impression upon meeting Jay, the owner, was that he was very honest and trustworthy. Jay spoke very often about GOD and how he aims to please his customers, he rents vehicles for his customers for the inconvenience of not having their vehicles during the repair time and that he stands behind his work... and so on. Hearing him speak this way made it easy for me to leave my vehicle here for the repair so the next day I returned. First off Jay wanted me to pay him upfront for the repairs which I felt was a little bit unusual but feeling confident about my decision to hire him as my mechanic I did. AAMCO (GEARS) was completely finished with my vehicle the same day that I left it with them. I drove the vehicle for a little over 3 months and it started giving me problems again. I called Jay to make him aware of the problem and to ask him to find out what was going on but all of a sudden his shop is so busy and we had to schedule a time that was good for his mechanics although initially when he was trying to get my business we never had to schedule anything I never heard the word "appointment". when I asked him about him renting a vehicle for the rework his response was he doesn't do that anymore, how convenient jAY after several failed attempts to have the rework scheduled, I finally got in contact with another person in the shop named Tim. We scheduled a time and I had my vehicle there as agreed upon. He assured me that his mechanic would look at it first thing the next morning which didn't happen because the next morning he told me that he had several people ahead of me and that he would get to it whenever he could get to it and wouldn't specify a time and in the meantime I would have to be stranded. I attempted to get in contact with Jay because he had given my fiance his cell number. He ignored my calls and contacted the shop to have Tim to call me and tell me not to call him again... WOW!
