"This is second time that we are servicing our cars at Bullfrog, we called towing company to tow my wife's car to the bullfrog for what we thought is transmission problem and we got a call from them that it was minor problem not related with transmission and ended up paying small amount of $$. Still honest mechanics out there We strongly recommend them Thank you again "
"I contacted Bullfrog with concerns about my granddaughters 1998 Honda Prelude and the codes that I had accessed indicating a transmission problem. I found Neil professional and knowledgeable in the questions that he answered. I was quoted a lucky and a not lucky price. An appointment was established with an anticipated date of completion. Upon entering the repair facility I was impressed with the cleanliness and layout of the facility. I was apprised of their findings and trusted them implicitly. The car was ready as promised with a cost as quoted. Their was a glitch! The radio did not work after the battery was disconnected and my grandaughter did not have the code as she was the second owner. Can you imagine the horror that a 19 year old would have to endure? Neil advised me of this problem prior to the delivery of the vehicle to my granddaughter assuring me that it would be looked after. An appointment was arranged to our convenience and they stated that they would need the vehicle for up to three hours. My grandaughter dropped off the car at the appointed time. You cannot imagine how surprised I was to receive a call twenty minutes later to say that the car was ready! The radio works and she has the code, next week she leaves to attend the University of Calgary. I feel confident that if a problem does arise, which I seriously doubt, it will be looked after by their affiliation with the ATRA network. Would I recommend Bullfrog Transmission to the customers of my garage and friends - definitely!"
"Your team gave me prompt, courteous service; and performed the necessary repairs properly the first time and on time. And my car runs great! Thanks, Wayne!"
"I would like to thank Wayne and his staff for the outstanding service that my family received. The transmission in our van started to leak and it was vital because we were in the process of buying a house. They explained all repairs in a simple but concise manner and had us up and running in no time. I recommend them to everyone that I know and would not hesitate to endorse them to anyone that wants professional transmission service."
"I want to thank Jason at Bullfrog for his ability to help us out over the phone while on a vacation in Calgary. Our van's tranny was rebuilt by Bullfrog a few years ago, and recently it had started to act up. I thought the worst but Jason calmly listened to me and ask me a few questions about the problem, and gave me a promising diagnosis that it didn't sound like the tranny was gone. He directed me to an affiliate member shop in Calgary who were fantastic. IT proved to be a $39 part, and I was out of there for under $100. It's worth it using a shop with a great reputation and strong affiliates in Canada. Thanks so much Jason!"
"The service Bullfrog Transmissions provided was knowledgeable, professional and, in short, exceptional. They took the time and effort to correctly diagnose the issue with my vehicle. At the end of the day, Bullfrog saved our family over $3000, as 2 independent dealerships misdiagnosed the problem and wanted to completely to rebuild or replace the transmission, which was not required at all. Thank you Wayne Kellow and the rest of the staff at Bullfrog Transmission for your honesty and great work ethic. I would strongly recommend Bullfrog Transmissions to everyone!

"Very happy repeat customer! I had my Mazda MPV trans serviced a few weeks before heading out for Christmas vacation with my family. Neil and Wayne made sure it would be ready to go and lived up to their promise. Just had my Subaru serviced with an unknown rattle coming from the rear diff area. I was expecting the worst, but the boys diagnosed it as a bent support. Straightened the support and all of the annoying rattle and vibration noise disappeared. You can be at ease knowing that Bullfrog won't try to sell you a service you don't need. This is an honest shop with high integrity and excellent customer service. Highly recommended for any trans and driveline problems!"
"We were referred by satisfied customers and we will be referring anyone who needs a transmission repair to Bullfrog. We are extremely impressed with the work service that was provided to us. It was above and beyond and Wayne took extremely good care of us. Excellent repair work and excellent customer service."
