| - These guys rebuilt the A4LD on my '93 Ranger six months ago, coming highly recommended by a general mechanic buddy. Except for two minor issues, I'd give them 5 stars - the work was completed promptly and professionally, and they gave me a fair price. The two minor issues: 1.) While the rebuild (bench work) was perfect and the transmission looks and functions as good as new, the install was sloppy: the ground wire to my starter was stretched / left loose when it was reinstalled. The connector burned / broke off two days later, leaving me stranded. Happily, this happened at home, and I was able to identify the problem pretty quickly and repair it myself (crimped on a new connector and reattached the wire); 2.) This place is busy, and they have grown the business considerably in the past couple of years. This showed in the communication mix-up between Clyde and Erika that delayed them starting work on my transmission for three days; when I called in to get a status, I learned Erika had been out sick and hadn't relayed my OK to proceed - so a two-day job took five. Again, no major issue, but it would have been a different story had this been my work vehicle. That said, I am still a satisfied customer and will return to Pete's when I need transmission work.
