Daniel, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied and would like to clarify the details of your visit to provide transparency for anyone reading this review.
You brought in a 2010 VW Jetta with approximately 135,792 miles for an intermittent 2–1 downshift jerking issue. Prior to any work being performed, we explained and received approval for a $180 diagnostic inspection fee, which would be credited toward any repairs if you chose to proceed.
During our inspection and road testing, we identified multiple concerns, including:
Transmission clunking/jerking during 2–1 downshift and reverse
Front drive axle vibration
Cylinder #2 misfire code
MAP sensor fault
Additional stored fault codes
Low engine oil level
Based on these findings and our testing, we discussed the option of transmission replacement using a VW dealer-supplied unit, including the estimated cost and current backorder timeframe. We also explained that high-mileage 2010 VW Jetta commonly experience progressive transmission issues, particularly when warm.
We respect your decision to seek a second opinion and pursue repairs elsewhere. Diagnostic results can vary depending on driving conditions, testing methods, and whether symptoms are actively present at the time of inspection. Our diagnosis was based on the information and behavior observed during our evaluation.
At Angel’s Transmissions & Auto Repair, customer safety and accurate diagnostics are our top priorities. We have proudly served our community for over 30 years, and we stand behind the integrity of our work and our diagnostic process.
We welcome you to contact us directly if you would like to review the findings together or discuss the inspection in more detail. Our goal is always transparency, professionalism, and ensuring our customers can make informed decisions about their vehicles.
