Black Bear Transmission

John runs a great shop! I’ve gone to him for over a year and I still make the drive down from Asheville. He often goes the extra mile. Absolutely recommend them!

After a huge miscommunication, the owner worked with us and gave us a pretty good discount. He also fixed a bunch of things we didn’t even know were wrong. I would recommend this place.

John and his staff are the best!!! Don’t hesitate to give them a call for all your automotive needs. They will take care of you from start to finish. Great customer service is hard to find these days. Do yourself and your community a favor, keep your money and your business local. You won’t be disappointed!!!

I highly recommend Jon and Rob at Black Bear Transmission. My family and I were driving through Canton, NC when our engine was overheating near their closing time. The first 4 service stations we called wouldn’t even look at our vehicle. Jon not only agreed to take a look at our car but got our family back on the road quickly with a simple fix. They were honest, professional, and kind. We wouldn’t have made it home without them!! Thank you!!!

One of the best businesses I've ever done business with very fair prices and very nice people to deal with. They went above and beyond for me. Very nice to be a woman and not taken advantage of. Very knowledgeable! I will take everything I own to them from now on.

If you need repair on your vehicle this is the place to go. The lady in the front office was so nice to us. I highly recommend this place!!! Thank you for your help ☺😘 need to make sure

If you are looking for good quality, honest people and good quality service THIS is the place you need for your car’s upkeep and repairs. This business is family owned and run- that means that the work and services they provide for your vehicle are done with care and precision so that you will happily return. I trust this business to keep my vehicles safely running, not only for my sake but for my little boy’s too.

Our transmission quit about a quarter mile from the shop during vacation. They were very helpful and had my transmission rebuilt in less than 24 hours, minimizing the impact on our vacation. A great experience. The building is unremarkable, but they really know their stuff and did a great job on our transmission.

I've been taking my cars to John as long as he's been in business here. He listens to me when I come in. He doesn't treat me (or my wife or children) like idiots because we may not know exactly what is wrong with our vehicles. He has been honest with us with his estimates, and has called us when he found things that weren't in his original estimate to make sure that we were ok with him proceeding. I trust him enough that I let my teenage daughter take her vehicle to him.

Black Bear Transmission does great work at a reasonable price.

Great service!! I knew I had some problems, with my car, but couldn't afford to fix everything at once. These guys were HONEST and told me what needed to be done today and what could wait. My car is running great and I will definitely be taking it back when I fix everything else!!!

I had the most amazing time at this establishment! If I could give the place a TRILLION STAR REVIEW, I would!!! The owner is the most honest, knowledgeable, and very kind. He possibly saved my life by fixing my car now I know when I take my children around town we are safe because John Mamph fixed my car right!

I regret ever going to anyone else. Not only is John fair, he's fast, efficient, and most importantly, great at what he does. He's worked on a couple of my vehicles and I have been pleased every time. He even stayed after hours for my brake job when I showed up 30 minutes before closing!

Took my car in and asked for my power steering to be fixed . He gave me a quote. Called fixed it that day and it was 1/2 as much as he had quoted. Seemed like an honest person. I will continue to take my vehicles there. He is moving his shop soon to Hwy 23/74 in Canton next to Napa Auto parts.

Black Bear Did an excellent job on my Timing belt On my 96 ranger. It was same day servicea and the prices were very reasonable and they offer warranties with their parts! Thank you so very much for helping me in my time of need and on such short notice!

Great service, fair and honest prices. Work was performed in a professional manner and completed on time . They have my complete trust in the service of all my family and business vehicles.

We had some car trouble on our way back home to Concord NC and these guys were so nice and kind enough to help us out. We bought the parts we needed and they only charged a small fee to do the work. I can't thank these guys enough for being so awesome. Thanks again

Very good service and nice people to talk to. John has a lot on his plate and is a really good person. Thanks for changing my tires at pretty much quitting time. Good local business man.

Black Bear Transmission successfully completed a head gasket job on my car. He also did it for an honest and very fair price. For anyone who doesn't understand what that is let me help you. It would be easier to replace the engine than fix a head gasket. A mechanic has to remove every single wire, hose, fitting,plugs, valve cover, coilpaks,emissions, her and purge vave located and connected to the entire top of the engine. Once that is done the mechanic must then loosen camshaft bolts. But not just loosen, but untorque each bolt in a sequence, and can only loosened them a little at a time. Maybe a quarter a turn per sequence. Until the pressure is released evenly. I'm talking about thousands of an inch here guys. Once that completed the cylinder head must be untorqued the same way. Then cleaned and mulled down by a machine shop. Then installed filling the same torque sequence all over again inreverse and hook everything back up. This is a job for a professional, and John is a professional. My car is running great again for a great price. So maybe when you see " bad reviews" that claim similar problems, and are e worded very, very SIMILIAR, Try to use common sense. Most likely a troll or perhaps possibly competition. Any how he gets 5 awesome stars from me. Give him a try.

Was told over the phone they could rebuild my Transmission sometime next week ( on June 3rd). I was ok with that, dropped it off later that day. I picked it up Friday June 5th. i did not expect it to be done so fast! They have my business.

I'm new to the area and had no idea where to go and who to talk to in order to fix my car. Came across Black Bear Transmissions and they were the kindest people, fixed my car in less than 10 minutes! Definitely going there if I need anything else.
