I called this place Tuesday after a shop our car was at couldn't fix it and Mike said he would fix it and had no problem with me getting it towed to him yesterday morning from the other shop and I didn't need an appointment either. He called to let us know he was working on it and this morning he called and said it was ready. We highly recommend this place. He didn't try anything and was totally honest.We would definitely recommend this place and we would go back. Thank you Mike for fixing our Saturn.

I had a transmission problem went to Affordable Transmission to get it fix. The owner was very helpful, not only he fixed my transmission, he also replaced my motor mounts and axles he gave me a reasonable price. Do the math for a Honda Pilot 04 1. Transmission 2. Torque converter 3. Motor mounts 4. Both front axles 5. Shaft Let just say I spend under 5,000 He did not tried at all to up sale anything I asked him to do four out of five. I brought my Pilot on Monday and it got fix within 3 days. Now that's what I call excellent service with out no problems. Buck the owner even asked me to come in and see how bad my transmission was. He should me all the parts that where bad. Thank you Buck and Staff I will be coming back for future repairs to your shop Thank you very much!!

Wow, they are awesome! I never been there before and I thought I would get ripped off because averyone else told me it was something else wrong with my car. Well they fixed it and now it runs like a new car. Never going to the dealer again! I'm going there for all future car repairs. I'm telling you they know what they're doing. Thanks Miguel and those angels in the shop.

We brought my car in when my transmission started acting up. They looked at my car and told me it had to be rebuilt. They were open and honest and didn’t beat around the bush. Had my car done in 2 weeks. I appreciate them and they have great customer service.

Best prices in the AV! Reliable and Honest ...two words that you almost never think of when you deal with mechanics! Miguel is the exception. He treats all customers with respect and is the only transmission shop that I will ever deal with. Thank you top shelf service, keeping my vehicles on the road, allowing me to keep making money for my family.

Read some reviews, then said, "That's what I thought and hoped was real." I then picked up the phone and called for a tow. 😞 Well I just wanted to thank Miquel, his staff and especially his customers! Thanks for your honest reviews. This shop had to be great to last this long. 1.Warranty was honored, ♡ +same day service! ♡ 2. Always excellent customer service. 3. I'm back in traffic. 😀

I was told that I needed a new engine and quoted from 4500-7200 from several auto shops. Upon calling AT, I was given very valuable information that saved me thousands and all because of truth, honesty and integrity. I appreciate you wholeheartedly, Miguel. Thank you. To anyone reading this, should you have any automotive needs, please give Affordable Transmission a call. Where customer service reigns 👍🏽👍🏽

Took my 69 Nova in to get some seals replaced. The gentleman gave me a good price, and it only took a couple of days to fix. They are true to their name "Affordable Transmission." The gentleman there was also kind enough to tighten up the linkage in my transmission without charging me. Edit: I had to drop my review to 2 stars because of the fact that my car was painted fresh no less than a couple of weeks ago, upon the original creation of this review. . Upon leaving it with their shop, I noticed a thick scratch right below the driver door handle. To be fair, it could be from anything. However, the scratch was not there when I arrived at the shop,but was there when I arrived home a few days later with the car. I don't see it as a coincidence. I did not reach out to the shop for compensation as I could not prove the shop caused the damage. I am 90% sure however, that it was caused at the shop. Edit 2: This is a direct reply to Affordable Transmissions question of "you noticed it 6 months after taking it to our shop?" No. That is not what I said. I said I did not bring it up at the time because I had no proof that it was done by your shop. Just that it arrived at your shop with no scratches, and when I took it home, it had that scratch. I can not argue with your prices, nor the service, as both are good. However, I can not get past the looming suspicion that the scratch was done at your shop. I am not seeking compensation, nor am I attempting to tarnish your shop. All I am doing is raising awareness for people when they drop their car off at your shop, to do a thorough walk-around of their car, to prevent running into a similar issue that I did. Thank You.

This was done 01/24/2025. I give this establishment 5 stars because they saved me $3500.00. I took my 2015 ford focus with less than 48,000 miles to Lancaster ford to have the TCM recall checked. I had to pay them $220 to diagnose the issue… Lancaster ford came stating that the TCM is not the problem. I asked then what is? Lancaster ford said I needed to replace the clutch and clutch bearings @$3500. I did not have the money at that time. I waited and my car began to develop other issues. I asked my friend and he recommended Affordable Transmission shop. I told Kaz what Ford said. They check it out for no charge. After two technicians drove my car stated nothing is wrong with my clutch. Results: engine mount right side replaced, expansion tank replaced and purge valve assembly replaced this after they ran a diagnostics on my car. Nothing was wrong with my clutch… Ford lied…All for less than $1000.00. I will NEVER go back to Lancaster Ford again. If you need transmission work done. I highly recommend Affordable Transmission Shop. Again thank you 🙏

Just FYI Dont bother calling for a quote. Theres tons of other shops that will instantly give you a quote over the phone. These guys will not. They want to inspect the vehicle for who knows what. I told them excatly what I wanted, a new tranny, thats it, and nope, no quote. If someone can't give you a quote over the phone they simply don't have the experience so why risk it taking it here ?

Wonderful customer care and service! It's stressful when your vehicle is broken. The owner was very kind and reassuring. They promptly diagnosed and repaired my truck. Even waited for me when I was late picking it up. I am grateful!

We will definitely come back here because of good customer service. Went here to get my dad's car checked with transmission problem (car is starting but doesn't move forward and reverse). Miguel was definitely helpful because he cares about his customers. He also gave us a free estimate on what needed to be fixed and what to do so we could save money. They are honest and professional. Thank you again Miguel!

Excellent customer service, quick repair, and the price was lower than I was expecting. Unexpected vehicle problems can be very stressful but Affordable made it an all-around great experience.

I was sent to this location by my original transmission shop to complete a repair under a nationwide ATRA warranty. The experience was appalling from start to finish and the shop ultimately refused to honor the warranty. Refusal of Service: The employee, Miguel, was immediately cold and dismissive upon hearing the repair was a warranty claim. My issue is a complex, intermittent shifting problem that occurs only when the car is cold and driving downhill. After two days, they claimed they couldn't reproduce the fault and refused to perform any further conditional testing, effectively giving up on the diagnostic process. Integrity and Professionalism Failure: When I requested a written reason for their warranty refusal, Miguel demanded I first sign a document that falsely stated no issue was present and that I acknowledged their testing had proven my claim wrong. When I refused to sign this waiver, he withheld all documentation and became verbally aggressive, stating he wouldn't help me because I "wasn't a nice person." The situation escalated dramatically when I mentioned I would report the experience; Miguel then raised his voice and began making extreme, frightening threats against me regarding my job and personal safety. This shop, particularly the employee Miguel, operates with zero integrity and poses a risk to customers seeking warranty fulfillment. They do not honor the ATRA warranty and use intimidation to avoid responsibility. Take your business elsewhere.

I want to thank the whole crew at Affordable Transmission for helping me get my Mazda back on the road. I originally took my car to a different shop and they told me I needed a new transmission and quoted me a little more than I could afford, I decided to get a second opinion and brought my car to Affordable Transmission and Miguel treated me friendly and respectfully. I was worried they would lie to me cause I'm a female but instead they offered a free transmission inspection and found that all my car needed was a range sensor. I can honestly recommend them for their professionalism and honesty. Will definitely be bringing my car back for future repairs.

I had a great experience with Affordable Transmission. They worked on my 2007 Lexus GS350 and did an excellent job getting it back on the road. The owner, Mike, was honest, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain what was wrong and made sure the repair was done right without overcharging. It’s hard to find a trustworthy shop these days, but Affordable Transmission definitely earned my trust. I highly recommend Mike and his team if you’re looking for quality work at a fair price.
