Thank you so much for your help. Your honest assessment and advice not to repair my car was greatly appreciated. Your suggestion to try an inexpensive additive is also a testament to your honesty. This is not the first time I have experienced your superior customer service. Your knowledge of transmission repair, in my opinion, is second to none. I highly recommend Widco for your honesty, superior customer service, and your technical knowledge.

I cannot tell you what a good feeling it is to find an honest repair person. Mr. Tom Williams deserves all my praise and admiration for a job well done. He may rest assured that any of my vehicles requiring this type of repair will find its way to his establishment. A hearty thank you to Widco Transmission and Mr. Tom Williams.

Great service. Beat every other price around!!

- Mike Berry

I had taken my 1986 Buick Regal Grand National to a local transmission shop in my hometown. They gave me an estimate of $1,800. I remembered that Widco was highly recommended, as I used to be a Cedar Lake police officer. I also had a friend whose brother had his transmission rebuilt at Widco and had nothing but praise. When Widco called me with the bill two days later, I was shocked. First, Widco finished the job in two days - unbelievable. Second, my total bill was $63. Talk about a difference. It is refreshing to run into honest, hard-working people in this day and age. Saying thank you is almost not good enough.

I experienced what I thought was a major problem with my transmission. The owner, Tom, road tested my car stating I had no transmission problem. He recommended adding conditioner. No charge! Being an out-of-state resident, I was prime plum for the picking. I am sure a business man of less ethics would have taken advantage of the situation. My hat is off to this business. It is so refreshing in this day and age to know people in the industry that operate their business with such high professional standards….My car is operating beautifully!

Thank you ever so much for going the extra mile in trying to find the problem with the infamous ‘93 Ford Taurus transmission. I only wish I had taken it to you sooner….Your honesty was well appreciated as well as the time you spent trying to figure out the problem without charging us anything and finally, you did [find the problem] by doing some extra research….You are brilliant. Thank you again.

- Barb and Ron S. of Beecher, Illinois

Thank you again for the exceptional service….I own a Dodge pickup truck that was that was having trouble with the transmission getting hung up in a low gear when accelerating at a medium to heavy rate….I took it to a local Dodge dealer to have the problem assessed and the manager informed me that valve body needed to be replaced for $1,033.54. At this point, I was thinking about dumping the truck….I decided to get a second opinion….When I arrived at Widco Transmission I explained the problem to Tom. He took the truck for a test drive and said it seemed like a stuck linkage. Tom proceeded to put my truck on the rack disassemble, cleaned, and reassembled the linkage showing me that there was no problem with the valve body itself, just corrosion with the linkage. Tom fixed the problem in about an hour and charged me near nothing for the work. Since then, the truck has been shifting normally. Thanks to Tom and Widco Transmission, I was able to keep the truck and saved over a thousand dollars on repairs.

- Ronald W. of Cedar Lake, Indiana

I would definitely recommend this business. The repairs I had done at Widco were perfect. Very professionally and courteously done. The owner, Tom, was very personable and explained the repairs thoroughly before the work was done. I rate it A+.

- Donna Melcher

Had them do a tranny on my truck. Great service and the best price around.

- Rob Poole

Best place for all issues mechanical!! Every time I take my car I am BEYOND happy.

- L R., Oak Forest, IL

I’ve had three transmissions done by Widco. They’re fast, friendly, and honest. Being a driver, I rely on my vehicles and can’t afford any downtime and they can relate. They’re 1 mile from my hub which is convenient because they’re local. They’re straightforward and honest, offer a warranty, and guarantee it. Between the three vehicles, I’ve put over 100,000 miles on their work and have had NO PROBLEMS! Is there anything else to say? Widco Transmission is THE BEST.
