SA: Good dealer for transmission replacement?

RickyCRX · #1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2008, 11:04 AM

I just bought a used early '07 production Tundra 5.7L and it has the 'shuddering' at ~45-48mph that I think is the torque convertor issue... I checked and my VIN number does fall into the range of those before the production change was made... Has anybody had any experiences with a good dealership here in San Antonio that will replace the transmission/torque converter under warranty with minimal hassle?

Any input would be appreciated.

I haven't taken mine into a dealer for about 2 years now but I have had good experience in the past with Alamo Toyota. Gordon was the Asst Service Manager I used to deal with there.

Heres a link to an older thread where we were talking about local SA dealerships.
Not so nice dealers....

There is a tech at Cavender named Alfonzo that really goes above and beyond. It's his nature. I used to take my 2nd Gen MR2 to him since not many dealer techs had experience with MR2's and he would just figure things out. In hearing him diagnose problems, he always spoke in terms of cause and effect. It thought that was interesting.
