What Our Customers Have to Say
Steve is a rare gem of a mechanic and I cannot tell you how pleased I was with his work, integrity, resourcefulness and attention to keep my van going! After struggling to find someone who really understands the diesel challenges in Bozeman, Power Train delivers! Where other service mechanics were giving up, Steve found a solution. He also was incredibly fast and considerate towards my need to get back on the road. I am so lucky to have found him and grateful for Power Train.
I've taken 3 of my vehicles here and each time they nail it. Latest was my 2017 GMC Sierra for a synthetic transmission fluid swap. Without missing a beat, their techs new about the latest GM recommendation and got the right fluid for me. Dramatically improved performance.
They replaced the motor in my truck and my experience was excellent. They were very easy to communicate with, very honest, and Reasonably priced as well. What a good group of guys. Thanks again!
If you ain't first, you're last! Great bunch of people who are auto-enthusists!
Powertrain Plus did an amazing job taking care of my diesel truck. They got me fixed up correctly and back on the road.
I thank you all for fixing my Yukon it now runs straight and true down the freeway.
My family was stranded in Bozeman with a bad alternator. Power Train Plus worked us into their schedule first thing in the morning, replaced the alternator, and got us back on the road. Their staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices were reasonable even for the "emergency" last minute repair. If we lived in Bozeman, this is where we would go for our car service. Thank you for your team's assistance!
Took my vehicle in with a check engine light on, and the engine misfiring. They diagnosed the problem quickly and professionally.They stayed in touch with me throughout the day, and had me back on the road that night. So grateful to Tech SC, Brandon and Steve, they are the best in town. Congratulations Cam on such a great team.
Was referred here from a dealer and wished I had known about them sooner. Staff was professional and easy to talk to. They took care of my vehicles issues quickly and made sure I was back on the road safely. I would recommend this shop to anyone in need of having their vehicle taken care of. Thanks for your kindness and professionalism.
My family and I have taken our vehicles here for years and never been disappointed. Recently took my truck in for a detail also and was very pleased with their work. Very affordable compared to other quotes I received from other detail shops. Never knew they did detailing on top of repairs
Everyone I talked with was very polite and professional and they did an amazing job installing a new exhaust on my Golf R, the fitment is perfect. Thank you!
They are honest, reliable and very trustworthy. I will be definitely coming back. They went the extra mile to help me get my truck in and repaired. They take care of veterans.
Everyone here is very knowledgeable and friendly, they make sure the job gets done right. Very involved in the community as well!
I had my 1967 Mustang Base in for repairs, the motor was a 302 with the 347 stroker kit which was assembled by the gentleman who owned the car before I did. It ran great until the engine started to consume large quantities of oil (1 quart per 8~ miles) where I decided to limp it back home while making blue smoke clouds out the rear end of it.I am part of the local car community here in Bozeman/Belgrade and I have come to know about Powertrain and their operations through the community, and I decided to take my Mustang there for a rebuild!I took it in around September of last year (2022) for the diagnosis and estimate and I just recently got it back this October (2023) and it was well worth the wait that’s for sure! The engine was fully rebuilt, I had them put a Holley 670 Carb, and I had them order a new aluminum radiator with electric fan, it sadly didn’t fit so they sent it back.They heat cycled the motor, put it on the dyno, and dyno tuned the carb. It made 342 hp @ 5.5k RPM and 377 ft-lbs @ 4.1k RPM! I’m so grateful for the work they did on my Mustang and it’s been doing absolutely awesome for the past month now! Just did the first oil change at 500 miles and the oil that came out was very clean!.Thank You Very Much!- Lance Killian
Cameron Richards was super helpful in fitting me in his schedule and also helping figure out what was wrong with my car.
Very very helpful. They went through a lot to get us out on the road again fast.
These guys are great to work with! Steve was great with communication when they were diagnosing/fixing my ford escape. A couple weeks after I picked up my car, there was a noise where it sounded like something was rubbing on my wheel. Within a half hour of texting Steve, he told me to drop my car off that night, and it was fixed by mid morning the next day - and they didn’t charge me for it. This is an upstanding business where they take care of their customers!!! We will be a repeat customer. Keep it up!
The team at Power Train were awesome! So gracious, professional and kind — super helpful
From start to finish my experience at Powertrain Plus was exceptional. Every staff member I interacted with was not only personable, but helpful as well.Most importantly they performed the service needed and returned my vehicle to me ahead of schedule. With how busy auto service shops are in the Gallatin Valley this has seldom been my experience.I would absolutely recommend this shop and will be bringing vehicles there in the future.
Cameron and his team are lovely, helpful and prompt. My car broke unexpectedly and I called every shop in town - no one could get me in for over 8 weeks - except PTP. They fixed my car that same week, charged a very fair rate, and were beyond kind and helpful. When I unexpectedly needed a new battery not three weeks later, they remembered me by name and had my car fixed the very same day.Will never take my car anywhere else, and couldn't recommend more highly!
Cameron and the boys at Power Train Plus did and amazing job on the Fox suspension leveling kit for my 2023 Ford F150. They were fast and stayed extra hours to get the job done in the time line they promised. Highly recommend them and will use them for future mechanic work.
Such a good experience! Everyone in good spirits and they did a great job on my '61 Comet. I've tried a couple of other places but I'm taking both of my cars to Powertrain from here on out! A+++
My vehicle broke down while I was enroute to fight a wildfire and the repair was complicated enough that I had to leave the vehicle behind. I called a bunch of shops in and around Bozeman and they were all booked up several weeks out and were unable to store the vehicle until they were ready to repair. I was in a bad situation with no place to store or fix the vehicle. However, pretty much every shop I called suggested I try Power Train Plus. (PTP was actually my second call but my phone wouldn't connect to them for some reason having to do with my Google Voice so I tried a bunch of other shops until I gave up and tried PTP from another phone).When I finally got around to calling them, they were kind enough to store the vehicle until they were ready to repair and then hold it after until I was able to fly back to pick it up. In a nutshell, they saved my butt. They had no incentive to go out of their way for me, especially since I was from out of town and (unfortunately for me) it's unlikely I'll ever be able to use them again.They did a great job on the repair itself (broken flex plate on a 2014 Ram Promaster) and charged about what I would expect. They even left the broken plate for me as a souvenir :)The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and it was clear that they're a bunch of people who love working with cars, even if it's my old junker. I really appreciated the follow-up call to make sure the van survived the journey home without incident (it did).I also found it reassuring that every shop I called recommended them. The lady at the car rental counter brought her car there and loved them. The tow truck driver said his friends all bring their cars there. In a nutshell, PTP is a beloved and well-run machine. If only I could say the same about my vehicle....Thanks so much for the amazing service and for taking pity on a poor, stranded firefighter.
We had a work truck go down. It was diagnosed and repaired on time . communication was great . Highly recommend for great service and knowledge
A well organized professional business taking all the right steps to provide quality service with well trained mechanics. I highly recommend them. So much better than taking my truck to the local dealer.
Last spring I purchased a 2007 Silverado 1500 Crewcab from Power Train Plus Performance.Cameron had just put a brand new high performance engine into the vehicle. Needless to say, the truck has a lot of added horsepower and torque. I love the truck and highly reccomend their shop if you need a new engine or upgrade to your vehicle. Cameron and Stacy have built a great business and team to service your needs
Two years ago I had a revelation while driving through Rocky Canyon, the narrow winding route between the Bear Canyon and Jackson Creek exits east of Bozeman, in my 1969 Firebird: safe driving speed in a 1960s car is a dicey prospect when everyone else is driving 70-80 mph through those curves. Over the last two years, I’ve had Power Train Plus do two rounds of work on my car. First, they installed a T-56 six-speed transmission and 3.90 limited-slip gears. Then, four-wheel fully adjustable suspension with C7 Corvette disc brakes all around, 17-in wheels and tires, new steering, AC, and a 455. The guys at Power Train Plus did an amazing job, and I couldn’t be happier with the car. It's now set up for pro-touring: 80 miles an hour at 2300 rpm, able to take curved roads at ease at that speed, plenty of grunt to pull in sixth gear, and with the AC blasting the whole time. The twists and turns of Rocky Canyon are now a joy to drive.
I give them five stars for helping us out in a pinch!! I recommend them to anyone looking for help with their vehicles. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you Power Train!
These guys are great! Brakes and rotors were done for a reasonable price and they had me out in no time. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Very honest group and they don’t push services that aren’t needed!
People were great as they were able to schedule us in a timely manner! They were able to diagnose my 03 ford f350 and have it repaired the same day. Pretty awesome!
Wonderful shop always trusted never disappointed not yet had a complaint after 7 years
Good guys. Their prices are very reasonable in comparison to others called. They were able to see me the day I called and fixed the problem on the same day. Thank you. Everywhere else I called had a minimum 2 week wait.
A+ work, A+ service, quality, and reasonable pricing. My Tundra will always be worked on here. Stacey and his team replaced my lower ball joints and struts in the same day. I trust them, and they keep my truck in great shape to drive my family around.
When I was having problems with my car, I called Power Train and they got me in really fast. They communicated with me through out the day to give me updates and before moving forward with any repairs, they took the time to explain everything that was going on with my car. Not once did they pressure me into the repairs, just gave me the information I needed to make a well informed decision. They eased a lot of the anxiety I was having about bringing my car in to a shop, especially as a young woman.You can trust Power Train to do honest work. I will definitely be going back to them in future. They genuinely care about their customers, and are knowledgeable and experienced in their field. Thank you for all your help! Shout out to Stacey and Scott for taking extra care and consideration with my questions and concerns. I appreciate you!
Came to Power Train off a referral from a friend. Was not disappointed. Service was quick, thorough, and repairs came in under the estimate! Will definitely be using them again!
I have a snow plowing business and the water pump in my 2006 Dodge Ram decided to go out on me. Power Train was able to get me in and fixed very quickly. Im sure it wasn't very easy working on my truck with a snow plow in the way, but they got it done very quickly and I was extremely happy to get back to work with it. I want to thank the mechanic and everyone who helped. I will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you!
I can't say enough about how impressed we are with Cameron and the entire crew with how we were treated. We had been looking for a place to tune our son's new to him 2004 suburu WRX and wasn't having much luck. Talked with Cameron and found out they could do it. Needless to say this WRX had some gremlins. We were contacted every step of the way with quotes on parts and labor every time another issue arose. THANK YOU to the entire team at Power Train Plus! This is an unbelievably professional shop with top quality technicians!!
Immaculate interior detail on my 08 Toyota. Like new car feel and smell in it again and when living 3 miles in on a dirt road things never stay clean. Looks and feels better than when I bought it! Thank you!
Power Train Plus is a great place to go if you need professional mechanical repairs to your vehicle. Very knowledgeable and professional staff. Honest and reliable. It’s the only place I would be taking my vehicles to be worked on.
