Told me my transmission and differentials were fine. This took nearly a month to fix because they ordered the wrong part. Not a big deal mistakes happen. They tried charging me almost $3,000.00 for this with adding a driveshaft. I stated I had already bought a front drive shaft and would install on my own. The price went from $3,000.00 to $1602.03. A front drive shaft is not anywhere close to $1400.00 for parts anywhere online. It’s 8 bolts to install.Then I picked up my vehicle week before last and it would not shift past 2nd. This is after it was “road tested”. No one will ever know if the failure happened during that time.Then Joe Brown calls me and tells me the transmission needs to be rebuilt. I inquired about costs, and that there were modifications done to the valve body that I would like to remain intact and to not replace with a rebuild kit. He stated it would start at 5200.00+ tax. He stated that he changed out my separator plate, surfaced, and changed a vent port on the valve body that was modified by me for increased line pressure. Call for total, it is well over $6,500.00. Frustratingly paid it. Noticed my line pressure was much lower than it had been before. Noticed that it was having trouble shifting to the next gear if passed 1/2 throttle. WOT; it would hit rev limiter, go past it, and defuel, then shift into the next gear. I’m not a transmission expert, but this is not how a transmission is suppose to work.I call him and let him know the issues. He tells me it’s my tune, and that since he doesn’t see a code on his scanner it is not a transmission issue. Mind you I have had this tune running for 6 years and have had 0 issues. I then try to explain with rationale on why this could be happening. Literally every time he had a “know it all response”. Passed by this business 3 times since then and the truck was just sitting in the yard after he told me he’d start immediately working on it. I called today for an update. Tells me that I need a new tune. His “tuner buddy” he talked with told him that my programmer is junk and that the company has terrible technical support and they’re in Canada. Which in my experience with them, they have been everything but great and respond promptly to emails. He wanted to put a single 50-100HP tune. Mind you my current programmer has shift on the fly. He wrote off any idea I was trying to convey to him that it was a transmission issue, specifically the valve body. Told me they’re all the same, and that he changes many that are on the road with no issues. The mark up is insane! I asked what kind of torque converter was used, he told me precision. Couldn’t even state the characteristics of it; single, dual, or triple disc? Low, ultra low, or high stall? Well obviously they’re not all the same if mine is running sub par to the others. I’ve spent well over $15,000.00 at this shop over the years and have never had an issue until now. I will never recommend your business to anyone I know. I will never spend another penny here. You reap what you sow, and karma will come out on top. The amount of arrogance and lack of humility Joe showed. To add insult to injury, these morons glued the trans pan and added a magnet that wasn’t even in the pan!Remedy: I changed my valve body to a Revmax billet valve body myself, and guess what? Not a single issue with shifting. Gaslight me and try and lie to my face isn’t how you do business. 1 Reviews Patricia obrien Lafayette, LA Reviewed : 05/26/2025 Comment : I was 2 hours away from home pulling my camper as a single woman with 2 dogs and my transmission goes out. Thank God I was only 5 mi away and my vehicle was able to be towed to this shop. I was able to finish getting to my camping place because I was brought another vehicle by a family member. These folks rebuilt my transmission with a warranty at what I researched to find out was a very reasonable rate. I was able to go camping for a week and on my way back through town pick up my Tahoe. So what started out as a horrible trip, turned out not to be quite as terrible as I was thinking it would be. Thank y'all so much! 1 Reviews Rayna guilbeau Lafayette, LA Reviewed : 05/06/2025 Comment : 5 stars! Let me start by saying I had to call all around town to find a shop that would work on a manual transmission. They came thru! My throw out bearings were in bad shape. They were busy so they kept my car for a lil over a month, but let me tell you, she's running right now, sha! Joe is that man! I feel comfortable behind the wheel and I owe it to Joe. And I bugged these people once a week and they were never rude. Always polite and informative. They have my future business for sure! Thank yall so much! 1 Reviews Cro Lafayette, LA Reviewed : 05/05/2025 Comment : 1 Reviews Never again Lafayette, LA Reviewed : 03/30/2025 Comment : Acadiana Transmission is the most professional, kindest, hard working family business I ever had the privilege of dealing with.
