Review: Auto Repair Service
2 years ago

I have a restored 72 Corvette with a Turbohydramatic 400 transmission (automatic) that was leaking terribly. He told me they would clean it up and put it on the lift overnight to see where it was leaking in the morning, then run it for an hour to see if any additional leaks showed up while the transmission pump was running and then repair the seals as needed.

He told me what he thought the problem would likely be and the worst case if they had to pull the transmission to fix the leaks. He communicated clearly every step of the way. He and his son are great to work with and I'd take any of my cars back to them for service.

Diagnose intermittent problem with transmission in 2005 Chrysler. Diagnosis failed at several shops, including dealerships.

While they were not able to pinpoint the problem, they gave me some good advice on potential problems. Unlike ANY other shop I have used, they did not charge for the diagnosis. Strongly recommended.

I am very new to the area, and when my Altima's transmission locked up, I looked on AngiesList to find a reputable place to take it. Daughtless Transmissions had really good reviews, so I had it towed there.

Gil called me to tell me when it arrived, and called again an hour later to tell me that repairs would cost $4,500, but that he had researched it and found that my car would be covered under Nissan's powertrain warranty, which had been extended because of so many cars having issues. He gave me all the information I needed for Nissan to confirm the car was covered. I had it towed there for the warranty work. Gil didn't charge me anything for diagnosing the problem, or for the research he did, despite the fact that it basically cost him the fees for a $4,500 repair job. I hadn't realized that he did work other than transmissions, but I will definitely take my cars to him for future maintenance work. I truly appreciate his honesty and knowledge.

My Honda Pilot needed to have the transmission built. Also had an axle and some mounts (2) replaced.

I called a local AAMCO and the wanted $95 just to do a diagnostic on the car. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I did some research and Dauntless was well rated on Angie's List and Yelp. I called Gil and he was very upfront, willing to discuss price, wtc over the phone. He clearly knows his stuff. I took it in, Gil did a diagnostic (drive, on lift, etc.), and gave me an estimate. He identified the bad mounts and axle as well (I knew about the axle). I was headed out of town in two days and told him that I'd call him to schedule. The next day the tranny left me stuck in an intersection on the way home from work. I was able to get it home. The next day, while traveling, I called and left Gil a message asking if he could get my car at my house (I told him where he could find the key). He called me while I was in the air and we texted while I sat in the airport in Atlanta. Within an hour he sent me a pic of the car being driven to his shop. This all happened between Christmas and New Years. I picked up the car 1/3 (he had to wait a few days for parts because of the holidays). He did all the work (included the mounts and axle replacement) for the estimate he gave me on the phone. There's a followup visit in 30 days at which point the 12 month warranty starts. So, essentially, there's a 13 month warranty. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Gil is a real standup guy and a vet to boot!

I went for an estimate on replacing my transmission and he sold me a transmission flush.

THIS IS GUY (Gil) IS A RIP-OFF ARTIST. He charged me $295 for transmission flush where I found out that most shops charge only $175. He spent the whole time telling me how honest he is, so that I would believe that his pricing was legit. This guy is a joke--STAY AWAY FROM THIS HIM! His name is Gil Gutierrez. In addition, I found out, from a different mechanic, that my transmission does need to be rebuilt, so in addition to overcharging me, Gil sold me something I can't use because they have to trash all my new fluid in my transmission! I'm extremely disappointed and people like this should not be allowed to conduct business.

Thank you [Member Name Removed], for your kind words. Just the facts please...You brought your Buick in asking me to beat a junkyard price you were quoted by a local shop in Fuquay-Varina 19 miles from my shop. I asked you to share your [Member Information Removed] trouble codes, so we could compare apples to apples. You confided that their in fact were NO DTC's. and if I would just ride with you, you would show me what your concerns were. Only after a trip on I-540 and through Brier Creek did you [Member Information Removed] apologizing to me about how miraculously, your vehicle would not act up. FIXED! you said "wow Gil you laid hands on my car and its fixed." Only then, did I suggest a service to remove and install new filter as I know a restricted filter can cause some unusual problems, You sir, were embarased, that you had wasted my time, "here to serve" I responded, You reap what you sow. We then proceeded to remove your transmission pan, replace your filter and replace your transmission fluid. As per our procedure, we engrave mileage and date in every pan we service, Never did we discuss a flush , as I cannot offer that service, due to lack of machine to flush with, we still do it the proper way. More entailed, but also more efficient. I do not apologize for anything we did, as I had your best interest at heart when I serviced your vehicle.....How easy is it to condemn a transmission and then replace it with a junkyard transmission for 2800.00.... A NO BRAINER RIGHT? However I am a rebuilding facility!!! I did not take advantage of you,, but I am sure someone will soon, Good Luck with that. I call them as I see them. Yeah, I am Honest to a FAULT...Good Day Sir...... Gil

Diagnosed the problem, and dismantled, cleaned and rebuilt my transmission in my 2004 F150 Ford truck.

I called Dauntless and spoke with Gil when I had the transmission alert on my truck. I worked with him to have the truck towed to his shop. I am a very busy manager and dad, and Gil worked with me via phone, text message (along with pictures) to keep me up to date with his research and diagnosis. Based on previous reviews on Angie's list, I felt that Gil and his team are trust worthy. I picked up my truck today (3/30/2016) and he asked that I drive it for 200 miles or so and bring it back for them to check for leaks etc. and then my 12,000 mile 12 month warranty will start. So far so good and I really appreciate a trust worthy business that busy professionals can do business with. Parts and labor cost $2677. This is less than what I saw online that other 2004 Ford truck drivers had to pay for the same type of work.

Service Provider Response
Thank you [Member name removed], The internal inspection allowed us to determine parts that had failed, which obviously was less damage than other Fords you researched. "At your service" and. "ON YOUR SIDE". Looking forward to assisting you in all areas of concern. Gil.

I used Dauntless Transmissions to repair the transmission.

I was extremely happy with the service I got. One of my least favorite businesses to deal with are transmission companies and even car dealers. I have had problems with, in the past where they said I needed a new transmission. I took it somewhere else and they repaired it for $15 and the transmission worked for years after that. I am happy that Angie’s List was available and I read a lot of good reviews before I took the car in. I was very happy with what they did. They could have told me that I needed a new transmission but they didn’t. They found a solution to repair it. It was not cheap but it was not nearly the cost of a new transmission. It is working now. They told me what needed to be done and they did it. I think their price was fair for what they did. They drained the transmission and refilled it 3 times. It is $45 each time for the transmission fluid, plus labor of driving it and getting the temperature up between each time they drained it. They drained it and refilled it again. So the labor was a big part of the cost but I think it was a fair price. The car works and they did well. I called them ahead of time and made an appointment. They were ready for me when I got there. It took them 45 minutes to road test the car, put it up on the rack and check it out visually. They told me what they thought was wrong with it, what repair needs to be done and the cost. They were correct in all of those. They knew what they were doing.

Diagnosed issue and changed transmission fluid

I have a 2005 Honda Civic with 120K miles. The transmission seemed to be slipping. When I arrived on-site I described what I was experiencing and we look a road test. Gil was very thorough in explaining what he was looking for and what he observed. Our road test was 45 minutes. He said he didn't think it was too late to save my transmission. He suggested changing the fluid and seeing if the situation improved. I agreed it was worth a try. He showed me the color of my fluid - it was black/purple when it should've been red. I took it for drive and it did shift better. Within the next 3 weeks, I had the fluid changed another 2 times and the car has been running much better. When I asked why he suggested changing the fluid 3 times he explained that each time the fluid is drained, only ~3 quarts comes out. The transmission has ~9 quart of fluid in it so we are only diluting each time we replace the fluid.
