Where to get Transmission repaired

**Archangel** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2009, 07:40 PM

Hi, guys

I am looking for shops that do transmission repair. I can do most of the other stuff to my alfa but the transmission is something I,m not touching. I am looking for anybody that you would know I am centrally located in California so i have access to Los Angeles all the way up to San Francisco So if any one of you guys know of any shops that you can recommend at or in between these two cities let me know thanks

It doesn't cost a lot to ship a gearbox. I had mine rebuilt last year and it was much better for me to mail it to another state than to get it done locally.

There are places in LA (Santo's), Bay Area (Norman Racing, Glenn Oliveria) or Santa Barbara (B & B Imports).

Will Dillman "STINK" has a rebuilt gearbox for sale.

I bought a head from Will and it was a straightforward honest deal. Head if anything was better than indicated.

Can't speak to Santo's prices, but I have two transes in, that I R&Red myself, to Glenn Oliveria in Berkeley, and they were both under $500. This was 4-5 years ago. Both excellent jobs, one of which has seen a few thousand track miles.

R&R yourself + $500 for an overhaul with a few thousand track miles? Sounds like you got yourself a good deal and Mr. Oliveria is a good man! Thanks!
