I couldn’t be more grateful for Patrick and his crew at A-Affordable Transmission Center. After my clutch gave out in the middle of a busy intersection, I called Patrick, he immediately set me up with his tow guy and within an hour my Jeep was at his shop. They were able to take a look the next day, gave me all the details of what was needed, and had the work completed in two days. I was so impressed with the customer service and the work done. I have a great warranty on the work completed! Thank you Patrick and your crew!

Troy Cradeur

At the time of this post it has been a week since my transmission has been fixed. The car is running as expected without issues. The service advisor, Mr. Patrick Shaver, did exactly what he said he would do. I would highly recommend this company.

Randy did an excellent job with helping me out financially when I just had my transmission rebuilt a year ago the warranty expired and he was here to save the day. Excellent work I hope this one last longer than three years the way the vehicle is performing. Thank you for all your help and understanding A Affordable Transmission Shop. The staff was also friendly and professional as well 20stars to all.

My son was having shifting issues with his car. I talked with some friends for any reliable, fair auto shops and A Affordable Transmission Center was recommended. I contacted them and was able to get in quickly for a diagnostic check. Issues were identified and fair price for repairs was quoted along with the timeframe for completion. Everything went smoothly and vehicle was repaired as promised on time. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and quick to respond to communications. I highly recommend their services.

We brought my father’s truck in here, green ’98 Mazda truck, we made the mistake of taking it to a different shop first it was never right. Patrick and his team provided exceptional service! Great value for all the work they did! They even removed my dads rusted step rails at no extra charge! Patrick took they time and thoroughly explained to my dad the parts he replaced, and why they needed to be replaced. Highly recommend this shop! Thanks A-Affordable for getting us back on the road again!

Blair Grylls

One of the best auto shops I’ve ever been to. These guys rebuilt my transmission on a Ford Escape. I called 5 or 6 different shops comparing prices and Affordable had the best price in town. Every single person I spoke with over there was polite, respectful, and helpful. And the best thing, in my opinion, is that they actually answered the phone each time I called. And the one time they didn’t, the returned the call within a couple hours. That kind of prompt response is almost unheard of these days. I would highly recommend anyone check them out if you’re having car issues. Patrick, Ben, and Michelle were all awesome and very helpful. Thanks for getting my ride back on the road again!
