Marc Bullion

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.

Van Morrison

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.

Nan Krueger

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.

Dylan Villano

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!

FAQ’s

A transmission service is defined as what exactly?

Repair shops offer transmission repair services to fix or replace worn or broken transmission components. It is crucial to maintain a well-functioning transmission because of its role in regulating the vehicle’s power and speed.

What are the warning signs that my transmission requires attention?

The check engine light may come on, there may be a burning smell, transmission fluid may leak, and shifting gears may be difficult or impossible.

In general, how much does it set you back to fix a transmission?

Whether the transmission needs to be replaced or only repaired can have a significant impact on the final price tag, as can the brand and model of the vehicle. Minor fixes may cost a few hundred dollars, while a full replacement may cost several thousand.

How long does transmission repair typically take?

The time it takes to fix a transmission depends on factors like the nature of the damage and the accessibility of replacement parts. It could take a few hours to conduct minor repairs, but it could take several days to replace or repair key components.

Should I spend the money to fix my car’s transmission or just get a new vehicle?

There are a number of variables at play here, including the car’s age, its condition, its value in the market, and the price of the transmission repair. It may be more cost-effective to purchase a new or used vehicle rather than undertake a costly repair.

In the future, how can I avoid transmission issues?

Transmission failure can be avoided with regular maintenance. Changing the transmission fluid on a regular basis, using the right sort of transmission fluid, and keeping an eye on how your car performs are all part of this maintenance.

Can you get around with a broken transmission?

If your transmission is acting up, you shouldn’t be behind the wheel. It’s risky and could do even more harm to the car.

Can I do the transmission repair by myself?

Repairing a transmission is often difficult and calls for technicians with certain training and equipment. Professionals should handle any significant repairs or replacements, but a savvy do-it-yourself kind of person may be able to handle minor issues.

In comparison to a complete replacement, what happens during a transmission rebuild?

Rebuilding entails disassembling the transmission, replacing any worn or broken parts, and reassembling the unit. However, when you opt for a replacement, the complete transmission is taken out and a new or refurbished one is installed in its place.

Does transmission life extension depend on frequent maintenance?

In a word, yes. Transmissions last longer and drive better when they are serviced regularly, and that includes having the fluid changed as directed by the manufacturer.
