    Status:
    Answered
    Had a 68rfe rebuilt by Minnesota Master Builders. They claimed they put a new drum in the transmission and put new clutches and steels in the transmission. I did not get an itemized list of parts upon picking up my transmission. They told me I had a 90 day warranty but when I picked up the transmission the "receipt" said 30 day warranty. He told me one price of $850.00 and then it went to $2200.00 when I picked it up. I installed the transmission and the transmission did not work. The transmission would not ingage into gear and would give me transmission codes I didn't have before. Talked to them and they said it was something I did during install. I have a diesel shop with 2 locations in minnesota and have been in business for 30 years, I know what I am doing. I called Minnesota Master Builders immediately when we discovered the transmission was no good. They did not call me back, they finally got back to me after I threatened a lawsuit. They maintain that they did rebuilt the transmission even though I had to bring it to another transmission shop to have it rebuilt. The new transmission shop told me nothing was replaced other than a few gaskets. The new transmission shop said the clutches looked like they have never been replaced. I installed the transmission and did NOT drive it. Once I was able to speak with MMB they said they buy core transmissions and use parts out of them. I have to move forward with a lawsuit because they refuse to help me out with it. I am now $7400.00 into a transmission that should have been working correctly the first time. I wanted to work with MMB on this matter but they refuse to help with their mistake. Bad customer service, refusal to correct their mistake and blaming the customer is not the way to handle an issue like this.

    At least I got a refund.....After a rebuild, 2 separate dealerships, a Mobile "Technician" 48 years and retired, a the shop right across the street saying the transmission was bad, I got a refund.In-between dealerships, I paid again to get the transmission tooken out and when installed still the transmission was bad. The owner would go on to actually say "he is just going to blame the shop for installing incorrectly and I might as well take the refund because even in court I wouldn't get any more than I paid." Long story lots of Paperwork, texts, video and proof....I'm out of an extra $3500 and I'm right back where I started. Stay clear from these guys. I'm sure they treat their friends with extra care but other people, they won't care as much."Let's go *******" "urinating on Liberals" "build the wall" is plastered on rear of the mechanics truck.....Only sticker I agreed with is Protect the Police! I wouldn't even give them 1 star.....They knew the they didn't fully go through that Transmission, that's why they gave me full refund. He just wanted to get out of it...He could have easily gave that money to the shop to it right...Shady business here....All this transpired withing one month, which your warranty is within....But who warranties their work for one month? Someone or business that isn't confident on it.
