Habby's Transmissions

Habby‘s Transmission (Wayne) I recently met Wayne and his team thru my coworker who also used Habby‘s for a transmission replacement on his Acura a few years ago. I also knew of Habby’s from my own friends and family who are also in the Automotive repair business but not specialized in Transmissions. Habby’s is a family owned business, second generation Transmission specialists. (which is rare). I personally believe it is of great value these days. I own a classic 30 year old 95’ Lexus LS-400 which recently developed a shift problem @ about 125,000 miles. A repeated code on the dash with a check engine light flashing and the ECT-PWR light flashing. I explained the problem to Wayne, who by the way always made himself very available to speak as we discussed it on several occasions before I was able to schedule a drop off. Wayne and his team are very responsive, I will say every time. Wayne also stated he has specific technician’s he only wants to work on certain vehicles such as my own. Wayne gave me the worst case scenarios of it I needed an entire transmission or the lowest case scenario if we replaced all the solenoids in the valve body possibly causing this problem. I told Wayne do what you need to do based on you troubleshooting the codes I also diagnosed and if it needed anything else to give me a call. I left the car for a week, and I did not bother him. That Friday at 3:00pm he called me to say, “Your car was done and ready to be picked up.” He said he changed an additional solenoid which he recommended, because it can also produce the same trouble codes. I appreciated his proactive decision. He also took care of a chronic leak from the original transmission pan. All was repaired internally without the need to replace the entire transmission. My Lexus once again shifts like the day I purchased it from Ralley Lexus in Glen Cove 30 years ago. I will never sell this car. Bottom line Wayne is an honest professional who I would recommend 100% to anyone. Wayne and his team has more than earned my trust. Thank you for your exceptional service Wayne !!! I am extremely grateful.. Tom Pinou

I own a nearby auto repair shop, Habby's has done over 30 of my customers transmissions. Wayne and Warren are standup guys. Hard to find a GOOD transmission shop, and here you have one.

Let me just say you will not find a better group of guys to work on your vehicle than at Habby's. I had my transmission rebuilt at this shop and it was not an easy job. The Truck was 22 years old and a complete basket case. Habby's stuck with me throughout the ordeal and were super helpful. The transmission works great now. Super smooth and no issues. I generally dont like using repair shops. I tend to do things myself but i can say that I feel absolutely confident that these guys care and want to do the right thing. They don't cut corners and they stand by their work. Worth every penny spent.

Obviously, noone likes to hear the price tag of something unexpected, like a blown transmission. But I have to say, I am so glad to have worked with Habby's Transmission! I use my minivan for car service and last Sunday after a trip the transmission decided that after 182000 miles it was time to visit the afterlife. Key dropped the van that day. Warren was in constant contact with me all week. It could have been stressful as I was on vacation all this week. Fast forward to today..... van was repaired, test driven, and ready for pickup. Inam so appreciative of their prompt attention and time frame for the repair. 5 stars all the way!

I took my 03 BMW there for repair. I had a warranty through a third party company. I spent time throughout the approval process heavily involved in the negotiation with the warranty company. The service manager seemed to be hot headed, not very good people skills. After 30 days repairs were approved and completed. I picked up my car dirty and noticed a cracked dashboard. I believe the cracked occurred due to the age of the car and sitting outside in the hot sun for the entire time, there is little parking at this shop. I brought to the attention of the owners, however, they did not address my concern. Shortly after driving the car I began hearing a loud rattle and screeching noise, I took it back to the owners to address, they told me that they did nothing to cause the noise. In summary, the car runs smooth except I have new problems I did not have before. I would not recommend service here.
