    When it came time for my first transmission fluid change, I wanted a transmission shop. I researched shops in the Triangle and found Dauntless. I called and spoke to *** who listened to my concerns and did a free test drive with me driving. He told me to drive home which was only about 2 or 3 miles from the shop. He drove it back to the shop and put it on the lift. He changed my filter and fluid and gave me a warranty on his work.Fast forward a couple of years. My car had recently had a tune-up and was cutting off after I put gas in it. *** did some investigating and found that my throttle plate was extremely dirty. He said that cleaning the plate was all that he could offer. I gave the go-ahead and my car quit cutting off after fresh gas was put in.Lastly, this past week my car started making a grinding noise and sounded like "rocks in a can". *** helped me out with this one. We did the usual test drive and I left my vehicle with him. He called me by noon the same day as promised with an estimate. *** and I talked quite extensively about what needed to be done. He let me have all the time I needed to make a decision on a rebuild of my transmission. I gave him a deposit for parts and now am waiting for them to come in. *** has been totally transparent, honest, and upfront with me. He even told me the shop would be closed for Christmas week. I don't mind waiting as the diagnosis was speedy and his guys with my go-ahead know what needs to be done. Parts can take a while to come in so I have no problem with the shop being closed while the parts are on their way. I drive a well-taken care of Kia **** with ~250k miles with the original transmission and engine.In short, I trust the team at Dauntless Transmissions. Thank you for taking care of me.

    Offers free evaluation of transmission but when it comes to collecting the car, owner states that it was a three hour evaluation to the cost of ~$450. Be careful.

    We appreciate any feedback we receive and will explain any issues if needed. Apparently, an explanation of our process is needed here.We do a free evaluation of the transmission which includes a free test drive and a free lift inspection. If we have to take anything apart or look further into the vehicle to pinpoint the exact issue, there is a charge for our time. We do not do anything until we speak with the customer, get verified information or a signature to confirm that the customer agrees to the charge. This gives the customer a chance to decide if they want to invest into their vehicle. If the customer does not agree with the charge, then they are more than welcome to come pick up their vehicle in the same condition they dropped it off in.We do not hide this process from our customers. It is explained to every customer that comes to our business.
