Ditto.
Two weeks ago I had German Trans. do my syncro's tranny. Ken was a great
help. Spent some time on the phone with me and considered options for my 4th
gear so I could drop my RPM (soob motor etc)
He also installed a decoupler for me and sent me back my tranny. Its shifts
great and works great. They dressed up the trans on the outside also. It
looks brand new.
Anyway, a few days ago I noticed the seal at the CV joint was leaking.
Called German Trans. and asked them if they would cover the repair (van is
at Small Car in Tacoma)
They IMMEDIATELY- without hesitation - said yes.
Bottom line- Great shop. Really good customer service, and I was even
suprised at how good their prices are.
