The guy at Ewing that helped on my Mercedes was super friendly and knowledgeable. My car is running so much better after their assistance. They expertly fixed up everything I needed help with.

I've been going to Ewing Automotive on and off since before 2009 - both locations. Recently, my transmission leaked all over the road and I had my truck towed to Ewing - I wanted a company I could trust. Well, trust is in the eyes of the beholder as Ewing truly let me down in regards to providing the type of quality service I have come to rely on. After a couple of days, Ewing informed me that I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4,300 plus tax. Based on a six percent tax rate, the overall cost of replacing my transmission would have been $4,558. Disappointed in the news, I towed my truck back home and started to clean it out to sell. I had recently installed a new front-end suspension system along with four new tires. Most heartbreaking part, I have over 350K loving miles on my truck as I purchased it with 4K mile back in 2002. It is a 2002 Dodge Durango SLT Plus. The internet is a marvelous tool as it allowed me to research causes of a transmission going bad. The truck would start (after I charged it due to it being run down) and the gears would move but not engage. I tapped the transmission tray and it had a hollow sound meaning it was empty. After removing the pan, I noticed there was no supporting gasket to keep the fluid from leaking out. I purchased a transmission gasket and filter kit from Advanced Auto (using 25% coupon) as well as a small tube of permanex. I cleaned the tray, replaced both gaskets and reinstalled the pan which did not have any metal other the miniscule particles on the magnet. Bottom-line: I spent less than $125.00 on all the parts I needed including the ATF-4 transmission fluid, and blue devil transmission sealer. I have been driving my vehicle ever since I trusted my "gut" and I researched and repaired it. I SAVED OVER $4,400. My error, I forgot to include the $129.00 I paid Ewing to diagnose I needed a new transmission.
THE FOLLOWING IS A RESPONSE TO EWING’S AUTOMOTIVE COMMENTS ABOUT MY PROBLEM:
Seriously, Ewing Automotive is actually disparaging my review (and me) by stating, “If you want shade tree work and band aid patches, maybe Mr. Dyson can give you some good tips on barely getting by and even help tow you with an old chain when you break down as he is a nice guy. We do not recommend buying a used car from him”. I was simply offering my situation based on the circumstances without elaboration or exaggeration. Bottom line – I was not happy with their solution to my problem.
I am not in the car selling business. I am an educator who enjoys teaching 6th grade Math for over 10 years. When I had my vehicle towed to Ewing, by AAA, I explained to the owner that I was only using them because I had trust in their work. Trust is easily destroyed when you realize your vehicle was not properly evaluated. There was no communication other than “you need a new transmission”. Are we dealing with a "replace" instead of a "repair" society and mentality? Think and ALWAYS trust yourself. Service: Transmission
