Al is possibly the funniest and most skilled worker and really knows his stuff with transmission work, take your car here if you want your car fixed at a good price and done right !!!
I took my 1960 thunderbird to coast transmission to have the hood painted. AL & his team did a great job of sanding & color matching the hood. If you have a classic car that needswork, coast transmission in toms river is the place to go
I had a transmission rebuilt in my 2008 Chevy Colorado, Aldo noticed that I plowed snow with it and said he could rebuild it, so I could plow snow with it and never have any trouble with it. I said sure let’s do it, he even warrantied the job but said he knows I will not have any issues with it, also my fuel mileage has improved 2 mpg with the new rebuilt transmission too! Great job, excellent service and done on time. I would highly recommend this shop for any job they perform
As noticed parking lot flooded with beautiful high end quality classical cars. We decided to stop in with our Porsche 944. fortunately, was able to meet and talk to owner Al. Very knowledgeable, experienced, with great passion for cars. The guys over at Coast transmission and performance llc has what it takes to get the job done correct. Stop in for yourself, you too may be itching to write a review.
Al was tremendous and is an honest human being who has lots of integrity. He would be recommended by me to anyone at anytime.
Al, is a great honest and intelligent guy who does every repair job right. He will diagnose the main issues with your vehicle and provide the best prices to fix them. I cant be more happier with Al and his staff at Coast Transmission and Performance. My car runs better then it ever has! This is and will now ALWAYS BE my one stop shop for all my car needs. Thanks guys!
Repairs and restores muscle cars and antique cars with beautiful results. If youre a car guy, go on by see the cars they are working on.
Tried calling this gentleman about a transmission, he thought I was a scam caller for sum reason and started cussing at me.
Al is an amazing guy, clearly knows his stuff and has put in 110% in getting this misfire issue with my car resolved. Hes extremely patient, friendly, and overall runs his business very professionally. I have found my new go to shop!
Al did a great job with my Suburban.... he did everything he said he would and more.... They went above and beyond to help me out and save me money.....I am from Newark NJ and yes I am taking my car back down to Tom River when I have a problems.....I still have more work I want done paint job, install new lights and more enhancements so I will be going back soon....Great Mechanic that know their stuff!!!!!!!
I brought my 2007 Ram to Al at Coast after getting the run around at several other places. My Transmission needed to be replaced or rebuilt and I had an oil issue which could have been a possible engine replacement. Al built my Transmission out for heavy duty towing and hauling since I use the truck for work and gave me a great warranty on parts and labor. He also pressure washed my engine and took care of the oil leak instead of trying to upsell me on an engine like the other guys. If you want an honest and stand up guy who isnt going to give you the run around, Al is your guy. I will definitely be back to Coast for my future repair needs.
Excellent service! Great staff! Classic car experts!
Stopped in looking for a possible part they might have had got some informative info on my step side instead thanks for the heads up.
Al went above and beyond the call of duty for me. Usually when I walk into a shop, they try to rip me off since Im a female and they assume that I dont know anything car related. Al on the other hand, was the complete opposite! He explained everything to me and told me how they would get my truck up and running the way it should be! During the pandemic it has been extremely tough financially, but Als pricing made me realize theres some good left in the world! His compassion for helping me and the situation with my truck was beyond excellent. I am extremely thankful for his help and guidance. Thank you so much Al for all that you do!
Al showed me that he means business when it comes to business; my truck was ready for the time he said it was going to be ready for. The transmission work that was performed on my 06 f150 at Coast Transmission has been great, now I can actually feel my truck shifting from one through fifth without any problems. Thank you Al, and may God bless your business, you, and those who work with you.
Al is truly great. I had an issue with some wiring on my BMW and he pointed me in the right direction to get it sorted out. He was very helpful and all around a great guy. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
This crew is detailed and informative with Fair pricing. Their knowledge base is outstanding and the maintenance done here is timely. I would recommend this shop. Easy 5/5.
Took my wife’s 78 Pontiac Trans Am to Al at Coast transmission and performance. Never met a more professional establishment. Al and George were fantastic. From the moment I met them, I knew they New their business and they cut to the chase and don’t bull#### you. They are very fair and don’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. Bottom line is they do great work for a great price. The Trans Am runs fantastic. We love it. We will be returning for more work on this car and our 73 Dodge Charger.
This was one of the best experiences I’ve had with any mechanic shop. Being a business owner myself, I always look for local businesses to support and Al and his team have earned my continued business. Al offered to tow my truck (blown transmission) down to him, free of charge, provided a detailed explanation of what he was going to do, guaranteed his work and had the truck back to me on the exact day he said he would. A true professional who now has all my fleets business, if your in the Toms River area or just looking for an honest and reliable shop, look no further. Coast Transmission you have earned a customer for life.
AL is so professional, he did my transmission on one of my cars & did the breaks on my other car and my first time experience with him was awesome ! So happy I found this shop I will be back for sure !
Al and George were amazing and true professionals! Not only did they fix the transmission of the car we brought in but when we went back to pick it up the car we travelled in to pick it up was blowing out smoke he took a look at it for us and helped us out big time. These guys are the best
Was there last week told him my mechanic said my transmission was leaking. Left my car there and ended up calling him the next day ! He told me he couldn’t get to it that he would get to it the next day! I was patient and waited for next day, again I had to call him he told me to come in that he had the car on lift and needed to talk to me ! I get there and the car is in the lot Then he tells me that the transmission is fine . It’s the power steering motor, hose, and cooler. He tells me $1500. And he tells me to get a new mechanic. I brought my car home because I know my mechanic is not wrong it’s my son’s friend. I told my son’s friend what he said and he took my car back to his house and checked it and he said it’s the transmission, not the power steering. My son’s friend doesn’t have a lift so he couldn’t lift it up. He showed me the place where the leak was.I told my boss and he asked his mechanic to take a look at it . His mechanic said it was a screw that was loose at the bottom of the drain pan! He cleaned it and tighten it, no more leak. Beware of dishonesty and this shop is dishonest!
I brought my car in to get detailed and my car was in pretty bad shape with pet messes. They were so friendly and helpful. They had it ready for me quickly and it looks like a brand new car. They went above and beyond to make my car look good. I will definitely be returning and will recommend them to my friends and family.
Excellent service. Had to get my transmission changed and Al gave me the best price in town by far. Car runs smoothly now and Im very grateful. Will be going back to get some body work done next. I highly recommend this mechanic.
My experience at Coast transmissions was excellent. Aldo is very professional and there prices are reasonable. Over all i had a great experience there. Would recommend to everyone!
Talked to Aldo And let me tell you what an awesome guy! Just moved here from Chicago about two years ago and I’m having problems with my Corvette after installing a pro charger and he was the most down to earth person and very helpful! This guy really knows what he’s talking about!
By far the most fantastic service, hands down. Professionalism and hospitality is outstanding. Took my Tacoma to Al, he gave a phenomenal price and he knows what he’s talking about. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone who needs work done or simply wants to create the car of their dreams.
Before coming here I went to 2 different places to get Estimates for the work I thought I needed. It Instead of hundreds and Hundreds of dollars it was a 4 dollar bolt. It is hard to find honesty in this day and age. You can find it here.
Great service and great deals! Never have I ever been this satisfied with a mechanic. Brought my Jeep to several locations and none of them could figure out what was wrong. Aldo has my car problem diagnosed and fixed within 2 hours. I would recommend this auto body shop to everyone, they’re service is unbeatable 4 thumbs up !
My girlfriend’s car broke down on her Birthday... they helped us and we were on the road within the hour and gave my girlfriend a birthday discount!
Had to replace master cylinder and caliper because car wouldnt want to stop. Now its great. And for a reasonable price. Thank you
I can honesty say that Al really cares about pleasing his customers. Its not all about making money with him, which is really cool. Its worth stopping over at his shop even if its just to meet the guy. He is AWESOME and very knowledgeable!! I highly recommend this shop for all of your cars needs.
The owner is an awesome guy. I consider him a good friend. He has worked on all of our vehicles our 33 Dodge Brothers, 73 Dodge Dart Swinger, 24 T Bucket and our 93 Chevy pick up. They do amazing work. Has also helped me fix my own stuff. All around good guy.
The owner Al was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond for my truck. He was also very personal and didnt even charge me for some stuff he did! Will definitely be back for future repairs.
Amazing!! AL worked on my 62 olds. And he did so good. He adjusted my brand new carburetor and tuned the car. He is fast and reliable. Now I can drive my car around safely and without fear its going to not make it home. Best part is it does a burnout now!!! THANKS AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta say Iv been to a bunch of shops and these guys are the best. Highly knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond to help out. Good guys all of them
I left my classic 1954 Ford there al the owner told He could repair the steering on the car. He said about three weeks and he ordered parts $1,200 which was half the price of the repair about $2300 I said the car must be kept inside or covered cover was in the trunk. He had the car 4 months! He left the car outside, uncovered and now all the chrome is going rusty! He also never fixed the car! He also said he could sell the car which was not true! They just brought the car back and said nothing! I would never recommend this place to anyone
I can not say enough good things about Coastal Transmission. They are the nicest and most helpful. Anything that they could do to help me they did. My car is now perfect and runs better then it has in a long time. I will never go anyplace else with my car.
Coast Transmissions and Performance is the best. Al builds transmissions better then anyone I know. He turned my TH350 into a bulletproof monster. This guy really knows his stuff and is the only one I would recommend to rebuild your tranny. Thanks Al.
Awesome service and extremely helpful. Ask for Aldo, this guy went above and beyond for me. The problems with my car were thoroughly explained and he also made sure i left the shop with a rental. I recommend this place to any and everyone!!
I took my Chrysler town and country. Gentleman named AL took a look and called me asap. I couldnt afford to fix the problem cause I need a brake system and transmission rebuild. His pricing was more than fair but still to much for me at the time. He kept my car at his place at no charge, called me Every day trying to work with me and meet my needs. I appreciate the honesty and outstanding communication of this shop. Id recommend anyone and everyone to go to coast transmission.
Amazing place.. had problems with my car starting they came to my job checked it.. ordered part and fixed by 2 days .. great prices and such nice trust worthy people.. highly recommend! !
Extremely great service! Worked super hard and even cancelled an appointment to work on my car. Beyond grateful for Al’s work. Planning on coming back again.
Straight forward knowledgeable staff..Aldo is a nice guy and has superior knowledge on performance builds...
Want a good mechanic that also has a great sense of humor and can make you laugh? See AlGreat service and great prices.
Ive been going to Coastal Transmission for over three years. The repairs are excellently done. In the beginning of May 2016, I went in for and oil change, new spark plugs, and to find out why my brakes shimmied. All the work was excellently completed. The price was phenomenal in comparison to other auto repair places. Finally, I do not have to fear being ripped off or someone trying to suggest unneeded repairs. Also, all auto repairs services are offered from collision repair to installation of new windshield wipers. No job to big or to small. Thank you, Coastal Transmission and Performance.
Took my car there and Al inspected it and found the solution !!! I would recommend him for all your work ! I went to other places and all they care about is how much they can charge for something that’s not broken or wrong. !!! I’m always weary of mechanics but not any more ! Thank You Coastal Transmission for taking care of my delivery car !!
Big Al is the man !!!!! Has a lot of knowledge and the transmission world also hot rod specialist. Any work needed for old school performance cars please stop in !!! Well worth it!!!
This shop does A+ work. Everything is done professionally and no corners are cut. Everything is done from the ground up and anything done will leave you happy and smiling. From engine and transmission replacements, to simple maintenance, these guys do it all. Give them a call for any of your mechanic needs!
My experience was very great. The owner really cares about his customers and takes the time out to get to know his customers and build relationships with them. He repairs vehicles well for a a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend people to come to him.
A very big thank you to Al and his workers!! They are more than a pleasure to deal with. Im sorry I didnt find out about his shop sooner. If you or anybody you know needs any sort of work done, give Al a call! I can guarantee you will be a happy customer. Very professional, yet a very down to earth shop!!! There arent many shops like this in the world so take advantage
Met al a few years back at a party and we hit it off right away nice guy. Was having problems with my 72 el Camino and called these guys up. Al got me in a couple days later got the car running better then it ever has and did it for a good price. I recommend these guys especially with a classic car and will be returning if I need more work done.
Have a 2006 Lincoln LS that the dealership said was not worth fixing, and that they couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. Had it brought to Coast Transmissions on a close friends recommendation, and the car was fixed within a week, at a reasonable price, and with a full explanation of the issues. Highly satisfied with the work done, and would recommend to a friend or family member any day!
Ive known Al since high school. We have been into cars ever since. It is great knowing he is still into them and has is own business. I Went to his shop and seen first hand his work ethnic. He does a great job. A++++++++
I honestly couldnt be any happier with coast transmission and performance. Great prices, best customer service around and really awesome guys! This is the only place Ill get my car worked on from here on out! Thank you Al!
Just wanted to thank Al and his awesome team for helping restore my 1972 Javelin AMX! They did an awesome job!! The car runs great after a complete transmission rebuild/upgrade and engine install. Looking forward to getting the paint done soon. Al and the guys at Coast were very courteous and knowledgeable. Great team with great service!! What more could you ask for :)
Al is doing a great job making my Cutlass young again!
Owners a great guy to talk to. Very knowledgeable about what he does, and hight quality work. Highly recommended!!!
This shop is by far the friendliest I have ever been to. Al gave me the best price within all of New Jersey. Took about a week for repairs and upgrades which is better than I had thought, al went above and beyond for me because he genuinely cares about the cars he services and wants to see every one to be the best it could possibly be. This shop is going to be the only shop that works on my firebird.
Was priced out at a few different shops for a torque converter and transmission repair, lowest being $3150. Met Al at a car show and he offered to do a diagnostic and see if he can beat the price. Friendly staff who are willing to put in the work for their clients. Id highly recommend them to anyone
This guy knows his stuff! Corvette expert! Very helpful!
Ive known the owner since i was a kid. Great incredible service & work ethic all around from these gentlemen ! They specialize in corvettes & hot rods and they do full auto repairs ! They do it All
Al and his team did a great job installing a power steering unit on my sons 67 Camaro along with some other adjustments. Al is a friendly and honest businessman. He spent a lot of time with us explaining all the work he did to the car. Highly recommend!!
Al was great to work with. Upfront and honest. Took his time diagnosing.
From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated nicely and with respect. A big difference from many of the other auto shops I went to. Al took care of me and from the minute I walked in the door to the minute my car was finished he was in constant contact. the end result was better than expected. I cant thank you guys enough!!
Most honest mechanic shop around!!! Took my car there my transsmision was acting up didnt charge me to look at aamaco charged me 900 just to tell me I need a new trans!!!! Al the owner is helping me get a new trans
Al at Coast Transmission is one heck of a guy! I definitely recommend him and I will be doing future business with him. Even if you just have a question or just want to meet him I highly recommend heading down to Coast Transmission!
The most professional and dedicated shop I have been to. They will treat your car like its their own. Get down there and check them out.
Al is an awesome guy. My 49 Chevy never ran this good. He went through everything with a fine tooth comb. Great experience.
Brought my 98 Camaro Z/28 to big Al &his pit crew for a performance upgrade/ total difference from before/car now lives up to its namesake/...thanks guys
Great guy awesome service goes out of his way to get things done. Takes pride in his workmanship. Our part looked like new after he worked on it. Would highly recommed this place.
Aldo was straight forward and honest when I first took my car to get diagnosed and fixed . Now he is the only mechanic I trust with my cars.
These guys are purely amazing!!!! Got to into a bad accident and took it to these guys and man when I say you couldnt tell that it was even in a accident youd have no choice but to believe me! Will never take my car to any other shop as long as this place stands!!!! Thank you guys so much for everything
Al is absolutely the guy to go to. No question about it. From the moment I pulled up to his shop, he treated my 65 El Camino like it was his own. His knowledge of these old beauts, to his attention to detail, he thoroughly explained to me everything we did to my car along the way. By his recommendation we swapped my old powerglide with a TH350 and my oh my! What a difference. He made my engine run and look absolutely brand new & even custom built me a dual exhaust. My car now turns heads everywhere I go! My favorite thing about Al though is he will be honest with you. If he thinks someone else can do a better job with something specific, he will let you know. He cares about your car and won’t take a job just to take the job. A++ 5 Star rating from me! Thank you Coast! Thank you for bringing my 65 Elco back to life!
These guys have done some amazing transmission work on my mazda 3. They are very easy to work with, honest, and theyll get you out in good timing. Just started going there but they just earned a customer for life
I brought my Scion Xb with 200,000 mikes to Coast Transmission as I thought the trans was slipping. Al fixed 2 wires and told me I also needed front Tie Rods. Since I could not afford Trans & front end work I had him fix the front end. While on the lift he found that I needed a rear wheel bearing.. I had that fixed and he waited for me until 7:30 PM as I needed the car. Car runs great and i didnt feel any trans slipping. Could be that was not the problem. Al is competitive (I checked other shops) and uses top quality parts. Guaranteed for life. I will use Coast transmission again. Thank Al.
I needed a second opinion on my transmission because I didnt feel comfortable with the one I got. I am so glad I went to Coast Transmission and got an honest one from Al. I will be coming back for my regular servicing from now on.
Took my Charger in for a leaking 727. It has been leaking for over 6 years and multiple shops have attempted to fix it and they had gotten no where. Then I strolled by to see to see Al about it and he guarenteed it could be fixed. Within 2 days I had the car back and there isnt a single drip under that car. The pricing was great also. I spent so much to try to fix it. And I came here one time, paid less and they fixed on the first try. Should have come here originally. Highly recommended.
About 2 weeks ago my family and I went down to seaside heights beach and we were about 15 minutes away from the beach when my car started to pull back as i tried to accelerate, i pulled into a gas station let the car cooled down for about 5 minutes and then turned it back on again everything was fine for about 2 minutes then it started doing it again and thats when the check engine light came on, My worst fear as i had just bought the car used 1 week prior to that, right there and then i knew i had to pull into a mechanic and see what they could do for me, i was blessed to find Coast transmission opened on a saturday and as i pulled in, desperately with 1,000 things running through my mind i was met by Al the owner. I asked him if he can please take a look and see what he can do for me, he expressed he is not usually there on saturdays and i believe that everything happens for a reason, as i tried calling my insurance company and trying to get a rental to make sure our weekend was not ruined, Al called enterprise before they closed at 1 and made sure we got a rental and they even picked us up from his shop, i left my car at his shop as he tried to figure out what was actually wrong and what kind of work it needed done, i usually do not leave my car with just anyone especially 100s of miles away from home as we are from York, PA but Al gave me that sense of trust since we met. After all he gave me a estimate of how much it would be and i was not ready for it and i decided to sell it instead, Al took care of eveything and kept me updated through the process. I highly recommend Als shop.. thank you Al for everything you did for my Family on July 20th.
More than a shop, they are family. They dont just fix your auto mobile, they take care of you. They dont up charge you and throw around a bunch of terms, you may or may not be not know. They take their time with you and are honest.
They also do fabrications! I needed a hole drilled into an eye bolt to lock in my spare tire onto the bed and Al hooked me up. Nice and quick...and I was on my way!
Excellent place to take your for what ever it is u need done .great work an a great trun around after dropping my truck off.THANK YOU COAST TRANSMISSIONS
Con artist. Changed name but same old same ol. DO YOUR RESEARCH!! Bullies people into giving good reviews.
Owner was very kind fixed my car in a hour this place is the best shop in Toms River
Really good my transmission told me what was wrong and right on the money👍
Great service at a great price. Whenever I have an auto problem I bring my car over to Al and he takes care of it. Thanks!
Aldo and his guys did an amazing job of rebuilding my dads entire corvette engine top to bottom. So many parts were unavailable they had to custom make the parts. Shes a beast now, purrs like a kitten but tears up the road like the hot rod dad wanted her to be. Great service and treated like family. Aldo is a straight up guy who doesnt play any bs games. Thats what makes him an honest businessman. U get no bs from him.
I went to coast for a auto trans for my custom built 2004 audi a4 with a turbo gm 5.3ls swapped into her. talked to the guys over at coast on what I did and want from the car and with there many years of knowledge and experience they set me up with a built th400 transmission for a unbeatable price. definitely a+++++ service. will be returning there. thank you guys
This shop is the best place I went to and the own is a very chill the a reasonable.
Great guys, helped and saved a lot of money when it came to some issues with my car. Definitely coming and would definitely recommend.
Took my beaten down 87 Monte Carlo and made it look like new. Great service, friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back again.
The champions for real they fixed my 06 blue crown vic 4 years ago and still running strong and perfect
Had some front end work done at a reasonable price...will be back.
Coast transmissions was there for me when no one else wouldI am a disabled man who is on a fixed income and being that I am disabled the owner of Coast Transmissions named Al helped me when I neede it the most. I would reccomend all my friends to Coast Transmissions because they care to help when no one else would.
Brought my car in with a check engine light related to the transaxle. Al checked it over and told me that a software update from the dealer could solve the problem.If my car needs a repair in the future Ill be confident using Coast Transmission.
We took our vehicle to a mechanic who ended up doing more damage than good and Al and his team were able to identify and correct his mistakes immediately. They ran into a few setbacks and obsticals but they went above and beyond to fix all of them too! We were very satisfied and will definitly be bringing all of our vehicles there from now on!Carissa & Steve fromJ & S Landscaping
Guys on the money! Good respect and did an amazing job!
Great service, fair prices, Friendly, honest and they stand behind their work.
