Transmission at 90,000 miles has hung up its hat..... oh sigh......

I see on eBay a company called Phoenix Remanufactured Transmissions ("PRT"). Their prices ($1,500) are very tempting but I am suspicious at the same time. I also see a few disgruntled custmers at http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/...705.htm#220761so I am not sure what to. They sell many transmissions so maybe these complaints are a very small percentage OR, are they the "tip of the iceberg" of complaints and problems.

Any comments welcome please.

If you can recommend another rebuilder, please do so.

no experience with buying from them, but I have spoken extensively with Dave. He is the rebuilder and seems to know is stuff

 

Run, and I mean run from these crooks. I just got part of my money (aftercomplaining to the Arizona AG's office, the Phx BBB, and sicking my attorney on them for 5 months) back from October of 2007 when I ordered a trans for the ML. Long, horrible story, but my research since has led me to believe that they are literally con artists. Unbelievable behavior - they will actually laugh at you for being stupid enough to expect them to stand behind their product.They will ship a trans out eventually, but in my case it was for the wrong vehicle, never rebuilt, and throwing all kinds of error codes. I'm out $2,100 due to my own ignorance in not researching this company. The owner of this company should literally be in jail. It is outright theft on a daily basis. Believe the rip off report and look closely at the ebay ranking. It is almost entirely manuals- not transmissions. I eventually went with a local indie shop in town who gets their rebuilds from somewhere in Oklahoma, sorry, I do not know the rebuilder.

Please do not use Phoenix Remanufactured Transmissions or Phoenix Hard Parts (Same Company). Best of luck in your repair.
