Excellent work completed at the end of April 2020. Several trips up and down the east coast pulling trailers, shipping containers and equipment. Several loads of dirt pulled with dump trailer.

Kindness & Courtesy - On 9/27/2019, my vehicle was towed to Alvie's Transmission shop for evaluation/repair. I was totally overwhelmed with his concern and kindness; because I had previously been ripped off by another mechanic shop. Even though he found my vehicle to be un-repairable, I was so grateful that he took the time to check it. I will highly recommend his repair business to others!

I was dreading going to see what was wrong with my 2009 F150 Lariat, it was making a racket and driving badly & getting worse by the day. Alvie & I took a short test drive, and he gave me the bad news I was denying, It was the transmission & I needed a new one. Best decision I made was to choose his locally owned shop over the others. Honest, fair price, straight forward and best of all, I got my truck back when he said I would, for the price we agreed on!! It’s been almost a month now and truck is driving great, thanks! Alvie, for a job well done !! - James M. (5 star review on Google)

Very honest nice and professional guy. I went there for transmission problem, but after he checked out my car he referred me to another mechanic. I respect that instead of charging me hundreds of dollars when he couldn't not fix. I wish more mechanics were that honest. - Tanessia R. (5 star review on Google)

Alvie's company is fantastic. He replaced the transmission on my vehicle, and the car runs better than it ever did. The price was very reasonable, and the whole thing was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Alvie's Transmission. - Mark D. (5 star review on Google)

When my special needs son and I returned from a trip to Massachusetts last week my Dodge pickup broke down on the outskirts of Jacksonville, FL. Not knowing anyone to contact in the Jacksonville area I called a shop I have done business with in Brooksville, FL. They contacted Alvie's Transmission on Main Street North in Jacksonville, and told me they set it up to have my truck towed there. That's were the unbelievable southern hospitality began from Alvie and his wife. The tow truck took 3 hours to get to me so it was well after closing when we finally arrived at Alvie's Transmission. Alvie and his wife waited for us to arrive and even had us wait in the shop until my friend arrived to pick me up 3 hours away. Alvie's wife entertained my son throughout the long wait by exchanging ghosts stories. He loved it. Alvie kept my truck overnight and ran all kinds of tests on it to see what the issue was. He gave me his recommendation and had me come get the truck. When I got there I asked Alvie how much I owed him. He said NOTHING. Absolutely great folks and great southern hospitality towards a total stranger. Thank you Alvie and I highly recommend Alvies Transmission as a very special business. - Jim O.

Alvie's has the best shop I have ever seen in this area. The place was spotless. I found Alvie's shop through online reviews, at first I was kinda suspect but he had no bad ratings so I had to pay him a visit. He was able to repair and return my vehicle as promised without flaw. My vehicle is performing better than expected. Alvie is the most meticulous mechanic I have ever seen, he pointed out potential concerns with my vehicle which could become issues down the road. I was impressed the first time I met Alvie, he invited me into his shop and offered me something to eat. It was then I knew I was in the right place. I feel as though I have developed a personal relationship with Alvie, and I am alright with that because good honest people are hard to find these days. If you are looking for a great mechanic who takes pride in their work with a professional attitude who is all about customer satisfaction, Alvie's Transmission Shop is for you!!!!!!

Great work....great business ethics....great pricing...highly recommend! - Kathy B. (review on Facebook)

Alvie's gave me great advice and was very professtional in explaining what was happening with my transmission. He is a 5 star business in my opinion and got me rolling again. - Rickey J.

Alvie is a great Guy. I have known Him since I worked for The Parts House Years ago. He has also done transmission work for me on 3 occasions...Never had a problem and the price was always fair...Thanks Alvie.  Jason H Wood

I highly recommend Alvie's - Joyce Samples November 4, 2015

Alvie is the most honest guy and does GREAT WORK on transmissions and now has a great mechanic working for him now on other automobile repairs. If you are looking for a great repair company I have to say he is the fairest and honest one I have dealt with, And his price are fair and he stands behind ALL WORK HE DOES.   -  Frank Heatwole of Yulee, FL

I was told by other large repair franchises in town that I needed a new radiator and transmission to which I was obviously suspect. In my search for quality mechanic's in town I found Alvie's based on the other reviews and then talked with him on the phone. He listened to what I wanted and didn't just try to sell me stuff. In the end he found I did not need either a transmission or radiator but just some leaks that needed repair. Been a month and running great! Thanks Alvie! - Nate Dickinson, July 17, 2015 Birdseye 5 Star Review

"Thank you for the great review and bringing us your business."  Alvie

Alvie's has a customer for life! I was referred to Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited Repair from another shop that I trust and respect and was not left disappointed. My issue was resolved quickly and respectfully with no hassles and 100% honesty.  The guys did a great job with diagnosing and troubleshooting my issue with the utmost respect. If I am ever in need of automotive repairs I will look towards Alvie's from this point forward.  Alvie's is proof that good mechanic shops still exist! Thanks, Alvie! - Michael Roach 5 Star Review on Birdseye 2-5-15

"It's good people like you who keep my doors open, thank you for letting me help you."  Alvie's

By far the BEST experience I have had with any transmission shop or automotive tech in general was with Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited Repair Service in Jacksonville Florida. Alvie has a passion for his craft and takes the time to make sure you know what's going on, how and why. Not only did I get a great JASPER remanufactured transmission unit from Alvie for a great price, but I came out of the experience far more informed about the details of automatic transmissions than I had before. Follow up support was top notch and I felt like I mattered as a client. I have recommended Alvie a number of times and my friends have come away with the same great experience as I did. I will be back the next time I need transmission work, without a doubt. Huge thanks goes out to Alvie, Matthew and the whole shop (which by the way is clean and very well organized too). You can't go wrong with Alvie's!  - Keith, Birdeye Review 5 Stars

*TOP NOTCH** I am new to the Jacksonville area as I just moved here from Atlanta where it is extremely difficult to find a trustworthy mechanic. But Alvie, his wife, and the other mechanic Kevin are GREAT people and very knowledgeable. Although I only came in for a standard "oil change", they made me feel CONFIDENT & COMFORTABLE bringing my vehicle to them for any type of service. I am proud to say that Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited Service is now my "GO TO AUTO-SHOP" ;-)  -  Leon

Alvie helped us so much last Dec. when our transmission died! He is very knowledgeable & answered all of our questions. His service was quick & made our Van run like new! Great Customer service and follow-up. - Heather

Want to express my sincere thanks to Alvie at Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited Repair in Jacksonville Florida.  I took my Dodge truck into him and from the moment I walked into his shop and saw it...I knew I wanted this man working on my vehicle  Extremely well organized with every tool, part and piece of equipment immaculate and in it's own place...you could literally eat off his floors...I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination...Alvie told me right off it may be a minor problem and he would check it out...as it turned out  it was not...my Transmission was shot (had almost 180,000 miles on it).  He then advised me I could go in one of two directions...I could replace it with a used transmission or a new JASPER re-manufactured transmission...he advised me based on his over 30+ years of experience...that if I put a used one in, I might get a good one that would last or I might get one that would go out in a very short time and they are risky (no warranty). He told me if he were I, he would opt for the new JASPER transmission with a three year warranty...I said Alvie, I am going to rely on your judgement and your experience and I'm going to opt for the new JASPER transmission...I know you wouldn't steer me wrong...to which he replied, "No, I would not...not intentionally anyway".

He then installed the new transmission in my truck and I have had it back now for over a month and it is running like new! I highly recommend Alvie and Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited Repair Service, if you want to put your vehicle in the hands of a experienced professional and a good, decent, and honest man, take it to Alvie.  Rest assured, it is in good hands.Go by and see his shop and say Hi.  Tell him Dino sent you! -  Dino Cox, Jacksonville Florida as stated on our Facebook Page! 

Thank you for the kind words Dino, Alvie
