"Our 1999 Dodge RAM 2500 V10 TRUCK with a 47RE Automatic Transmission needed work done as it was struggling to shift, was overheating with a load uphill, etc.
I did lots of research on the Dodge Forums and elsewhere, ultimately deciding I needed an Expert Opinion on the matter and went to Fred's Wrenchouse.
Fred's had installed a Cat-Security Shield on our Honda Element, to prevent Catalytic Converter theft, and also had done very good work with a Starter - tricky job - so I felt confident with this Transmission problem.
The Transmission was rebuilt for a Heavy-Duty Towing Application, with an External Trans-Oil Cooler, and a Heavy, Billet, Torque Converter and lots of other parts for known issues in the 47RE Transmission.
I picked it up after a week or so, and it felt like a New Engine and Trans had been installed; no delays in shifting, smooth and immediate power, and everything worked very well. I haven't towed with it yet, but I expect it will perform very well.
Trust is a hard thing to have when an expensive repair is facing you, but I listened to Fred when he told me what was happening and how to fix it right...and I'm glad I did.
By fixing the Trans *the right way* we're gaining capability over even a New Truck in terms of what it can pull, at a fraction of the price. New Trucks are Big $$$, too.
We also changed the Differential Fluid, had an Exhaust Rattle diagnosed and quieted, a Bumper Alignment fixed and lots of other fixes were performed for free and that just makes it an even better experience.
The Trans Rebuild came with a 2 Year / 20,000 Mile Warranty, so...I'm very satisfied.
We have a Truck now, that can tow almost anything we throw at it, and with regular maintenance should last well into the 200k - 300k Mileage Range.
5 STARS - I highly recommend Fred's Wrenchouse to repair anything, but do trust his advice and you'll do well."

"I needed a safety check done on my car and I haven't had (or trusted) a mechanic shop in a long time. Happy to say I will continue to go back to Fred's. They have an original feel if you're looking for a sort of old school style, and the way they do electronic reports is super convenient."

"Great, trustworthy place. Came in with a "brake system" alert light on thinking something is wrong with my brakes. Fred's team checked and told me that there is nothing wrong with my brakes and that it is a system alert due to a broken sensor which I already knew about and will get fixed at the original dealer's shop.
Fred just charged me with a minor fee and off I went. If he had been dishonest, this would have been the perfect occasion to make stuff up and charge me hundreds of dollars, I would have never known.
Those guys earned my trust today, and I will go back."
