Transmissions Reis

Transmissions Reis turns up here as an HVAC listing, but it isn't a home heating-and-cooling contractor. It's an automotive transmission and general repair shop at 182 Alley St in Lynn (office at 475 Lynnway), run by owner Ricardo Dos Reis. If you came looking for a furnace or central-air installer, this isn't that business; if your car needs work, the review history says something different. And there's a lot of that history: 179 Google ratings average 4.5 stars, and the shop has racked up 130 reviews across five sites since 2021. The name that keeps coming up is Ricardo himself — reviewers over the past several months describe him personally handling a CV axle and transmission bushing swap, a transmission rebuild that kept an older vehicle running well, and advice that saved one customer money by pointing them to a cheaper battery instead of a shop markup. None of the eight reviews from the last six months are negative. The one loud exception sits further back: a Google review from late 2025 says the shop quoted $3,000 for a transmission rebuild that turned out to be a bad sensor, and describes the staff as hard to communicate with. It's an outlier against the broader pattern, but it tracks with the shop's BBB file — a C+ grade, not accredited, over a complaint the business never answered. Before handing over the keys for anything big, get the diagnosis in writing — that's exactly where the one serious complaint on record went sideways. Otherwise, for transmission and general repair work in the Lynn area, the volume and recency of praise for Ricardo's crew is hard to ignore. Just don't expect them to touch a house's HVAC system.
