Marty and everyone was friendly and great to deal with. Did a great job rebuilding the transmission in my Silverado. Truck runs like new and I highly recommend using them.

When my wife's transmission went out due to the torque converter on her 2015 Tahoe, A-1 was where we were headed. Eventhough they were some distance from our home, there is no one else I'd go to. They listened to my concerns, when I asked to upgrade the transmission while it was under repair, they listened and delivered. Thank you so much A-1, from the bottom of my heart.

Fantastic price on the transmission rebuild for my older Dodge van. The mechanics & staff provided 5-star service. Highly recommend Bill & Earl's Automotive.

A-1 shared their knowledge of the problem with our vehicle,gave a comprehensive layout, and honesty is second to none. This company really impressed us with kindness; also, that motorpool is an automobile museum. There were so many unbelievable and impressive cool cars I didn't want to leave. Thank you, A-1, for everything, Lake.

I just wanted to say that Bill & Earls A1 Transmissions is still a Great place to take a auto for repairs or diagnostic. I had 2 transmissions replaced years back with 2 different vehicles and could not be any happier. Today March 30, 2023 I called about a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country Minivan my wife and I just purchased from a Used Auto Dealer. The van looks almost new and I was not sure about the transmission the way it shifted. The minivan does have a 6 speed automatic transmission and will shift gears when you accelerate. I thought it felt a little funny and my wife thought it felt fine. This is her 4th Chrysler Minivan in 24 years. Well I called Bill & Earls A1 and spoke to a very nice receptionist and she transferred my call to the service department. I spoke with JR and I explained my situation. He asked how far I lived from their shop. I said about 5 minutes away. He said you can bring it on by now and we can test drive it. So I did go right to Bill & Earl's A1 and was greeted by JR. He could not had been any nicer and took my minivan out for a test drive right away. He was not gone very long and came back to say the transmission feels just fine and he popped the hood to check the transmission fluid and everything looked fine. I just wanted to Thanks JR and the Team at Bill & Earls A1 for still being a great place to go even 30+ years later. Good Customer service is hard to find these days and Bill & Earls A1 and JR are just awesome. I would give 10 Stars if I could and will have to settle for 5 Stars. Cheers JR and Team at Bill & Earls A1 Service.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had my 97 f250 hd manual transmission rebuilt. They kept me updated along the way and did excellent work. Will absolutely bring my truck here again.


Feb 06, 2024

Very good people to deal with.

I was having a problem with my automatic transmission in my 92 Silverado. The truck isn't worth a lot of money, and I was dreading the cost of a rebuilt transmission. JR quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed my transmission at a reasonable cost. Everyone I dealt with at Bill & Earl's was pleasant and professional. I now have a great place to take any transmission work in the Baltimore area. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who may be looking for honest, professional repairs. Thanks!

Feb 06, 2023

Very friendly explained all issues


Feb 06, 2023

Was my first time there and they seriously could not have been nicer. I have a 1978 Jeep that had a very bad rattle underneath and I thought it might be the transmission and when I called they told me to bring on up in the morning. I dropped it off around 10am and they called me back around 2pm and said that they looked it over and took it for a test drive and they did not think it was the transmission. I showed back up to pick the Jeep up and they told me there was no charge. Really, really great people.


Feb 06, 2022

Great guys, great shop, very helpful, would definitely recommed for all transmission needs. Jr was great. Can't thank them enough.


Feb 06, 2022

If you have any transmission issues, Bill and Earls is great!! They are fast, guarantee their work and have warranties! My truck runs like A dream. Their customer service is impeccable. Everyone is so nice too. I love 'em!!


Feb 06, 2022

They always do a great job fixing my car. They have great prices and always take great care of me and my car!


Feb 06, 2022

Thought my daughter's car needed a new transmission. I was so sure I had them order a used transmission before bringing them her car. They said it was just a part in the transmission that needs repalcement, not the entire unit. So many shops would have changed it out instead of being 100% honest. Saved me over a thousand dollars. I could not be happier with Marty and the rest of the good people at Bill & Earl's. Brent Francis from Parkview Funeral Home.
