Volmaz

I contacted Volmaz by phone to ask if they would be available to look at a problem I was having with my Volvo. I know nothing about cars, so explaining the problem was in lay terms, but I knew it was transmission related. Whoever I spoke with had an attitude and obviously didn’t want to even look at my car to diagnose the issue. He told me the price for a diagnostic and I agreed to the price (after being told “you can give me your money if you want, but in my 20 years’ experience, this is the problem, and you need a new transmission). He told me it would cost $4000 to replace the transmission and that the car wasn’t worth that cost to repair. Mind you, this “mechanic” had not even seen or touched my car, but felt strong enough to give not only a diagnosis, but also an estimate of the cost. I’ve never heard of any mechanic doing that before. I ended the call extremely upset and discouraged. I ended up contacting Mr. Transmission on Covington hwy and had him look at my car. He did a thorough diagnostic on my transmission and apparently, my gear box needs to be replaced; that’s it. My transmission is fine and even IF I needed a new transmission, the price all in would’ve been under $2000. Volmaz might be great for others, but this was my first experience with them and I’m very unimpressed and will NEVER recommend anyone to them. Even if I wanted to pay $4000 for a transmission, that’s MY decision NOT the mechanic because it’s cheaper for me to fix my car than buy a new one. Thanks Volmaz for sending me to Mr. Transmission. Not only was the fix simple, it was also cheap!

This shop replaced the water pump in our Mazda MPV van. They were fast and relatively reasonable. We had an issue with the pump (which appears to be a defect with the part itself, not their fault) and they worked with us to address it. Overall would recommend.
