The staff is very professional, and they diagnose the problem quickly, and get it fixed. No pushy salesman trying to force repairs you DONT need, but great people, great atmosphere, and all at reasonable cost. Everything was explained in great detail before any work was performed, and the vehicle runs fantastic after receiving it back! I Highly recommend this shop for any transmission problems you might have!

HONEST PEOPLE! They got car in right away. After checking everything out and test driving they determined that it wasnt a transmission issue. They recommended another mechanic for the issue and didnt charge. The mechanic that spoke to my dad was invested in my dads safety and gave him good advice based on the issues with his car. Im really thankful that there are good honest people out there and they care about their customers.

I was calling places including the manufacture dealership to ask for pricing in regards a transmission flush. I called A Affordable transmission last and the gentleman that answered the phone told me they don’t do transmission flushes because it could possibly harm the transmission more. He stated that most companies just do the flush to get money from you and that’s not how they do their business. After I got off the phone I started researching about transmission flushes and found many articles stating that yes indeed it is not recommended to do a transmission flush and it can possibly cause more harm. Also some manufacturer warranties get voided if you get a transmission flush. I’m really glad that I called A Affordable transmission before I went and got a transmission flush because all the other places I called were happy to give me a price to have me come do the transmission flush and possibly harm my transmission more.

I want to give a big Thumbs up to Dominick and his staff at A Affordable Transmissions.We brought our 1999 Honda Odyssey in for transmission service. He was very helpful in explaining what needed to be done to repair our vehicle and clear about the cost and when the vehicle would be ready. His rates are very reasonable especially after comparing them to several other shops including Honda service...(the Honda Service quote was 4 times higher).We received the vehicle on time and drove it for a few weeks but unfortunately encountered a problem. I called Dominick and explained the situation. He is all about service and was truly concerned and caring about what happened. He assisted us in getting our vehicle back to his shop, diagnosed the problem and discovered an unusual problem that appeared which was something beyond his control. He backed up his warranty completely and came through for us. We have the van back and its running great. I am looking forward to getting a few more good years out of our 99 Odyssey.I have and do highly recommend A Affordable Transmission to anyone needing his expert services!

NEED TRANSMISSION WORK? SAVE YOUR TIME AND CALL DOMINICK AND JOHN. THEY WILL GET IT DONE RIGHT AND STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK.My wifes Honda Odyssey Transmission went out at 120000 miles. I found A Affordable after the Honda dealer gave me a ridiculously high repair quote and didnt want to work with my extended service contract. I was calling around for a lifeline and got the runaround from other transmission shops. Then I called A Affordable and Dominick answered the phone. From the very beginning he gave me straight forward prices over the phone and told me Dont worry about it, if you get the car to me well take care of it. I think they will even tow your car in for you if you need them to. He walked me through the repair process and answered all my questions. He patiently dealt with my extended warranty contract and I had the car back in two days. The van drives nice and smooth now and feels like its got a new lease on life. I got a 2 year warranty but I believe these guys will stand behind their work no matter what the paperwork says.JOHN and DOMINICK are GOOD PEOPLE and have earned a loyal customer in me and that is not easy to do!!!

Review №21

I picked up my car from A Affordable Transmissions yesterday and was asked if I would leave an honest review of my experience there because of a unjust review they felt they had received so I told them I would.I called a few places before I went there because I tend to price check everything I purchase and A Affordable Transmissions was not the cheapest but if you compared the warranties they offer they were the most fair priced.When I went there I was treated very professional and with respect. Four days later my car was complete and I have no complaints on the work thus far.Would I recommend A Affordable Transmission? Absolutely.Do they deserve a 5 star review? Definitely..... why? I felt as though I was treated fair, courteous, and professional from beginning to end. Great staff as well as quality service. What more could you ask for?!

Great job from Dominic and team to quickly diagnose my 2014 Caravan transmission issue and help me with warranty coverage. In the end their shop did not get the business, because warranty required that the work be done at a dealership. Very professional and generous of them. Saved me a lot of money.

Ive worked with a lot of mechanics, and you can always tell how good a mechanic is by what they tell you after the job is done. Good mechanics will give you a run-down of what they found, what they fixed. Great mechanics will answer your questions, and possibly tell you a few extra things they noticed about your car along the way. Dominick and his guys are EXCELLENT mechanics. They cover all the bases above, exceed expectations with communication, and make sure they get the job done right at the best possible price. On top of all that, they are all really nice guys.Any transmission work I need in the future is going to this shop. I would recommend the same to anyone asking. If there are any doubts, just read the never-ending list of 5 star reviews below this one.

I took my BMW 750i in to these guys a few years back. I didnt want to leave a review right away just to ensure that the trans stayed working properly. It has been at least three years now and I have to say that the trans has been working flawlessly without any issues. They saved me a bunch of money and did the job very professionally. I would recommend them to anyone who has transmission issues.

Brought my 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan in August 2018. We are from Omaha and we were going on a family vacation and didnt have much time to have vehicle worked on. They quickly diagnosed it as 2nd gear failing. After informing Dominic of our family vacation plans, he was able to get vehicle in, repaired (including new motor mounts), and out the door on the morning we were to take off. He personally drove vehicle to help ensure we wouldnt have problems.Vehicle has been working well since. We have put on over 10,000 miles since then. Thank you Dominic and A Affordable.

My transmission went out on my 2004 Ford Freestar on 72 in Schaumburg and I just looked for the nearest transmission shop online. I couldn’t be happier to have found this shop. I’ve never had to do transmission repairs before so I wasn’t too sure what I was in for. But they were very helpful and informative and honest. They laid out allmy options. Got a great price with a good warranty and my vans been running great ever since. Thank you so much!

We appreciate the great job done on our Ford Transit Connect. Eddie drives 50,000 miles per year in his work trucks. We rely on this truck for business. After receiving it last week, within 3 hours, I called to thank you for a job well done. This truck has never run better. The shifting and on-demand acceleration has never been better. Again, I greatly appreciate it and wish you the best.

Dominick and the rest of the staff at ATS were very helpful and knowledgeable. From our initial phone conversation to the day of pickup, everyone was patient, informative, and competant. I am grateful for their prompt service and honest price quotes. They rebuilt my Honda Odyssey transmission for exactly what they quoted me and had it done on time. I would take my vehicle there again, and I highly recommend them.

Dominick and his staff at A Affordable Transmissions rebuilt the transmission in my 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix in March 2013. My transmission failed in September 2013. When my transmission failed in September, I had put 13,000 miles on my car since Dominick re-built the transmission in March 2013. Even though a 1,000 miles over the 12,000 mile warranty, Dominick covered the cost to re-build my transmission. I will use A Affordable Transmission for all of my future transmission work. His prices are reasonable and he stands behind his work.

One of the best experiences Ive had in dealing with repair shops. The rebuild was flawless and Dominick was very knowledgable and accommodating. His rates were the best I found. Why take your vehicle to a general repair shop and have them sub it to a trans shop...and then mark it up at your expense? I highly recommend A Affordable Transmissions for all your transmission needs.

I couldnt ask for more of a professional and trustworthy shop to take my vehicles to. Dominick was great to work with, had answers for the questions I forgot to ask. My suburban broke down in Wisconsin Dells, had it towed to their shop, he gave me the best price out of ten quotes I received, they gave me a time when it would be ready, and delivered on it.

My car had been slowly deteriorating for about a year. We called around explaining the situation and were told multiple things such as it was the gearbox. As my car got worse I looked online and found A Affordable Transmission. I took my car in the next day for a diagnosis and estimate and was very kindly greeted my Dominick. Within a matter of hours I got the phone call that my transmission needed a complete rebuild. This was hard to hear and Dominick understood moneys tight and did everything he could to help save me a few bucks here and there. Within a week my car was done and I am extremely happy with the results. Dominick was very kind and explained that if I need anything else call them first so they can refer us somewhere trustworthy. I am very happy with the results I received from A Affordable Transmission and highly recommend them!

Terrific Guys - Dominic diagnosed the problem on my 2010 Chevy Equinox as unrelated to the transmission for no fee unlike the dealer I visited who insisted i needed a new transmission. Sunrise guys. Dominic said the problem may be more related to exhaust and headers, then recommended someone who could fix it. I would recommend them highly as straight shooting and reliable. Dave Padgitt had his Toronado repaired there, was extremely satisfied with the work and affordability, and suggested I visit A Affordable Transmission. Glad I did.

WARNING Customer WARNING” please Beware their 5 star review is a SCAM....it should be Zero star.... at A Affordable Transmission shop, hear my story, I spoke to Dominick and he gave me a price quote to repair my car which cost me parts and labor $800. I found out after the repair that I could have had my repair done with parts and labor for $650 from another Trans shop. I was over charged $150. Secondly when I pick up my car and drove to work, I decided to check my trans fluid and discovered it was over filled by half a quart of trans fluid, I call Dominick to express how upset I was and that I paid good money to have work done professionally by trans repair guys and he told me it doesn’t matter if it was over filled its o.k. WHAT??????? Toyota just like every car maker has a dip stick to let you know not to over fill or if its low on fluid that’s why it was design for to protect the transmission, I was shock and speechless when he told me that. This guy Dominick is a Trans repair guy, this is basic 101 beginners who do this job never to over fill, because you can damaged the trans but Dominick argued with me and told me I should apologize cause I was wrong even after I told him I took a picture to prove it, he didnt want to hear it. I called other transmission shop and the guys LAUGH so hard they were speechless too at Dominick response that if it over fill it doesnt matter what a joke. Please call other Trans shop in the area, customers stay away you will be sorry later. Their 5 star review is SCAM just to bring customer to think their shop is the best and that their good and honest repair shop NOT true! I learned my lesson never to go back!

The transmission on my 2003 Honda was giving me issues. Dominic and his crew handled the repair in less than 1 day. I took her out for a test drive afterwards and was impressed. I couldnt believe the difference in performance, all good of course. In short If you have transmission problems, make Affordable Transmissions your first and last stop for the best and HONEST repair work in Schaumburg and surrounding areas. .

Well, I tried to baby the clutch in my 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT to try and get 100k miles out of it. I made it to 98,000 and decided it was time. I seriously researched about 20 or so local shops, and did some deep digging. There seem to be a few quality shops, and a lot where they started out OK, gave me a baseline quote for my clutch work, and then started adding stuff over the phone. I went to a few different places that made my list just to see. The only shop that didnt try to up-sell something was A Affordable Transmission. I dealt with Dominick 100%, because a lot of you said him or John were the man. Dom was awesome, straight forward with me. I gave him every opportunity to replace the flywheel if needed. He didnt even try to up-sell me on it, he turned it and said it was fine.I got so used to driving a bad clutch, that when backing out of the parking lot there, I stalled it. Then at a light, stalled it again. All I could do was laugh at myself. I have a friend who complained she couldnt drive my car because the clutch was hard as hell to push in (that never bothered me, I kind of liked it honestly). Now, it is how it should be & she was amazed. I dont know if that is a good or bad thing though now that I think about it. Anways, if you are one of those who think I am a paid shill who was given a deep discount or something for this review because you didnt get your way, sorry, but last I checked there are no doctors in the area that AAT is at that can help you. Thanks Dom & team for actually making me like this car again :)

I took my 2001 Acura MDX to Dominick at A Affordable Transmission because it started having problems getting in gear. The repair shop looked at the car without an appointment and made a quick diagnosis. Dominick was very upfront with the costs of rebuilding the transmission. Once I did my research and decided to get the car repaired with A Affordable Transmission I quickly learned I made the right decision. I received the car back earlier than I thought - 2 instead of 3 days. The car runs fine and Dominick even called a week after and asked how the car was running. I would recommend this repair shop to anyone with the unfortunate need of a transmission repair.

In need of potential transmission work? Look no further than A Affordable Transmission Specialists Inc.! The owner, Dominick, and his team will give you an honest and straight forward evaluation/estimate of your autos transmission, unlike a lot of other shops that aim to purge your bank account of every last penny. This includes the infamous Stealership.” It is always reassuring to know someone is trying to do right by you, and Dominick’s shop certainly is the right place to go to gain peace of mind when it comes to the most complex, expensive, and vital part of your automobile.To delve further into specifics regarding my heart-attack inducing journey to fix my transmission, I have spent days going to many different shops (including the dealership) seeking an answer to a minor shifting problem. I own a 2007 Chrysler Sebring Limited that is equipped with a 3.5L V6 and a 6-speed automatic transmission. I have had this car for 4 years without a single issue at all; my car is well maintained. But, when the dealership offered to replace a moisture ridden headlight, they, of course, had to disconnect the battery, which is completely understandable. However, after the headlight was replaced, the car began to intermittently die out on the way back home. When I arrived home, I popped the hood only to find both the positive and negative cables were not secured to the battery. As a result, nearby plastics were partially melted and, though the dealership replaced the plastic components free of charge, this was when the minor shifting issue started.At first, the shifting issue was mild—virtually undetectable. It was about 8 months to date before it became more noticeable, and more annoying. I asked the dealership to scan the TCM for any codes and got nothing at all. Without hesitation they quoted me $3,500.00 to replace the TCM. So, off to the next shop! The next few shops quoted prices ranging from $1000.00-$2,200.00 for various tasks. One shop claimed it was once again the TCM, while another suggested that the speed sensor was faulty, and so on.Needless to say, A Affordable Transmission Specialist Inc., was the last shop that I needed to visit. On Thursday, April 30th, I told Dominick about the dilemma I had with the battery and he suggested that we try clearing all learned parameters within the TCM and put it in “quick learn” mode; he explained that the 6-speed transmission in my car was electronically controlled and sometimes the TCM can develop bad habits, if you will, when the battery is disconnected. Moreover, after leaving my car at his shop for about an hour and a half, the procedure was finished and I was on my way. Ever since then, my car shifts crisp, clean, and smooth. There were a few harsh shifts here and there, but every day it gets better. The best part of all of this? It was FREE! Dominick said that if the “quick learn” would solve the problem, he would not charge me, and he was a man of his word!Thank you very much Dominick for your honesty and for helping out a college student, it is immensely appreciated! If I could give more stars, I would. You have definitely earned my business in the future.

(I posted this review on Yelp, but I thought Id come over to Google as well!) I was referred to Affordable Transmission by my grandmother. She had to get the transmission repaired for her Cadillac a while back and took it to AAF. She was VERY HAPPY with their services. Less than a month ago I had to get my transmission repaired so I took it to AAF per my grandmothers recommendation. I have a Chrysler 300M. As another reviewer noted, they are extremely helpful. They take the time to explain exactly whats happening under the hood. Since my OBD light came on I knew there was something wrong with the trans...but I didnt know what it was. AAF explained in detail why the light was coming on and what that meant for the transmission. Since most people arent born with a working knowledge of transmissions its incredibly helpful to have a trustworthy source like AAF in town. I recommend A Affordable Transmission 100%. I havent had any problems with my car (nor has my grandmother for that matter!) since I took it to AAF. If youre looking for a great transmission shop, go to AAF!
