Where is a reputable transmission shop in the south Baton Rouge, LSU, St. George area?

My Tahoe somehow is excluded from the other 60,000 plus GM trucks with the broken tranny dipstick tube issue and I have to pay to get it replaced. Screw All Star Chevy and their $650 estimate.

Help please.

call 667-4111 and ask if they can change it out for you. Probably let you buy online and bring it to them to change out.

According to the dealership, they have to remove the intake and the exhaust manifold. On top of that, fluid leaked out while it was broken and now tranny is slipping / truck won't drive. Need to get it evaluated for damage.

It's going to have to be towed. Can't put fluid in right now. In fact, I have to figure out a tow company as well.

Not saying they are wrong, but I would check with an independent mechanic to verify that.

yeah, they only covered it in the 2010-2011 models. Pretty crappy huh?
Anyway, good luck with the transmission slippage issues!

Who is that number? This being the OT I figure it is a trans gay sex line or something.

WOW 650?

like Hammertime says thats a cheap part and takes a whole 5min to change.

I dont know of any shops around BR I could reccomend but you can purchase the part yourself and change very easily.

What year Tahoe and engine?
