I have a 09 gmc sierra 3500hd. At 199500 give or take it lost 4th 5th and 6th gears. Love trans before that. Gathering money up to order xp1 series. The warranty is what sold me on extreme performance. Pull heavy loads frequently. Sounds like,after reading post,these guys might make 1 that will stay with me
IS THIS ABOUT THE EXTREME PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE OUT OF MINNESOTA? THINKING ABOUT BUYING A TRANSMISSION FROM THEM. I AM IN ILLINOIS
I have a 440 with a 727. And I need over drive. What do you have
Do NOT trust these products! I bought a replacement transfer case from them in August. I had it professionally installed. I’ve been losing transmission fluid since and the problem has been traced to a bad seal WITHIN the transfer case, which, they stated, could only have occurred during rebuild! Goodbye $1700. Take my advice, go to a reputable garage, and have them do the whole thing start to finish. Don’t get scammed with a flashy phony website that is actually run from someone’s bedroom.
NEVER AGAIN, “Smart Parts Automotive”!
350 long block head bolts not torqued. Rear main seal leak. My mechanic replaced the head set (gaskets, bolts ), rear main seal. This company’s response was refund up to $400 or send it back.
BEWARE ! READ THE REVIEWS!
Wish I would have.
I would recommend this transmission company for any of your needs they explained to me what was wrong with my transmission and what can be done to resolve the issue Jeff was very polite and courteous even when I called him several times when I was in a state of panicI would give them a five star rating
They have 2 websites evidently one called Smart Parts and the other Extreme Performance
Do not spend your hard earned money with these people. Don’t let the low prices get you! Find a company that actually care about the customers they serve. In this case, spending more money is the best thing you could do!!
I ordered one of your Ranger V speeds haven’t returned my call yet I just want to say prompt service very happy then the price is very reasonable can’t wait to put it in my truck I’ll leave more reviews thank you James Lincoln
Got through
Don’t even think about it! Customer service is so bad you will think you are on a crank call, only you are the one that called them! After seeing these reviews I’m glad I got pissed off and hung up on the jerk! Slick website but I guess that as good as they get! Hopefully more people will find this site. I feel sorry for anyone that orders anything, anything at all from this “company”.
🤦🏻♂️Jesus, not one good review. Guess I’ll stay clear of them. I did have a funny feeling about this based on the site. So glad I checked the reviews because I was definitely about to place an order.
Was about to order NV3550 “performance trans” for my TJ. $990. Sorry you guys got stuck but thanks for the heads up. As They say If it sounds to good to be true – it probably is.
I have been fighting these guys for months! I purchased a 4r100 from them. My card was billed immediately and 3 months later still no transmission or phone call.
My buddy bought a complete short block motor For his Pick-up truck from them and received a 12hp Kohler motor for a lawnmower instead. He too is dealing with the same issue if no refund and no returned calls. The awful part is that we both mailed the guy our cores that I’m sure we will never see again.
Was really hyped about possibly doing business with this company due to the appeal of having a transmission with “high performance parts”, but like the others reviews here I noticed that they had no formal address listed on the website and just two measly reviews, one of which has a grammar error in it. Started digging into the website even more and it’s riddled with spelling errors and grammar mistakes. I know that’s not really a correlation with good transmission rebuilding, but the website looks so good at first glance. Dig a little deeper and then you start to wonder how something that looks so nice has so many minor errors in it. It didn’t sit well with my gut. Long story short I found this guide website and have somewhat had my suspicions confirmed. Be very careful with with XP, there might be a reason why the deals are so good….
nice pics & lg google advertising in search engines must be working for this “company”.
Was gonna order….thought it was strange there were no reviews….found this. I’m gonna oass
I bought a Jeep transmission for a customer from these guys because they were running a sale. My card was billed immediately but took 3 weeks to receive transmission. When I called customer service to inquire, the guy was very abrasive and impatient with me. I will never use again.
Thank y’all for the heads up on this so called company. Very sorry for the crap everyone went through but your comments saved me the money and problems. Thanks again.
While searching for a replacement shortblock for my 5.0 i came across XP. Seems like good prices people should be buying these engines up like crazy. But no reviews online? Everything deleted on facebook page. Ummmmm no thanks.This has led me to other websites that seem legit. Trust your gut, shop around and dont fall for the ON SALE tactics this shady company uses.
No reviews for these guys anywhere but here. They have 2 reviews on their website and even they are hidden. Comments on their Facebook page have all been deleted except 1 which is one of the 2 reviews on their website. The fact that they used a Residential address before and now use a PO Box sounds similar to shady tactics that were being used by motor companies a while back. I’ll pay the extra money rather than risk getting scammed by these guys.
The WORST decision I could have made to get a complete long block 4.3 roller Chevy motor from this company!! Dose not stand by warranty . The front seal needed to be replaced in the 1st 500 miles. Rear seal now leaking with 4500 miles. The top end sounds like a clapped out 300,000 mile motor but only has 4700 miles on it !!! I will NEVER do business with an out of state Crate motor company again !!
Replacing the motor I recieved from Extreme Performance Auto with only 4837 miles TOTAL JUNK !!
I was doing research on this company and I couldn’t find amy reviews or address
No wonder these motors are on sale, thank you for writing a review, I couldn’t find any good reviews on these guys either
is this affilated with XP performance transmissions
