Not a happy customer. Had a rebuild done by them about three years ago, but previous noise returned. Supposedly guaranteed for five years. I tried contacting them for two days multiple times a day and nobody answered the phone. Finally I got a call back and I explained my situation but was told that the ownership had changed and they would not honor the warranty. I met with them and they agreed to give me a break on labor. I dropped the car off with a very explicit description of the issue I was having. Finally, on the fourth day, they called to say they couldn't figure out what might be wrong and to come pick up the car. I took it to another shop in Kirkland and they instantly diagnosed the problem from my description, fixed it in one day and gave me a very reasonable price.

Affordable rebuilt my transmission in my 2002 4x4 Ford Explorer. It was the same price as quoted, cheapest in town. I had issues 3 times. They took it in all 3 times no problem fixed the problem. Turned out my 4 wheel drive was causing all the issues which wasn t there fault. They fixed all my issues and didn t charge a dime. I recommend affordable 100%. They were inexpensive, courteous, and stood by their work. Made sure my trucks transmission worked properly.

Was having problems with my 2000 Monte Carlo. Just happen to be driving by this shop thought I would stop in. After being to a number of other shops to find my problem and no shop could and it cost me almost $200. This shop took time to go through my car and find the problem for free. After I told the problem I shopped around and found out for the price to fix the problem on my car at other shops. I could get a rebuilt Transmission from Affordable Transmission. I was thinking I was going be with out my car for a week to 2 weeks. Nope these guys had my car back to me in like 3 three days. And the best part working on my car they noticed another problem I was having that other shops I paid money to should of pointed out but didn't. Again I called around and they price plus part was half the price of other shops I call. The customer service is great the lady at the front desk will take the time to go get a mechanic if she don't have a answer. And if she says she going call you back she will do that as soon as she has a answer for you. Glad to have found a real shop that's into helping people and not ripping people off to make a profit.

Came to WA for vacation just last week, and my car began to jerk around. Unaware of what was wrong, I asked a friend if they know any mechanic shop. They recommended me to go to Affordable Transmissions. May i just say, i never regret going. It was the best experience I've ever had dealing with an automechanic shop. They accurately diagnosed the exact problem with my transmission in a timely manner, explained all my options and associated costs, and gave me their best recommendation.Can't say enough good about them. Hard working guys, friendly staff, kept it simple, honest, great and affordable price, and quality work.I highly recommend everyone to go to Affordable Transmission, you won't regret it at all.

I have had my car for 4 years now. I've never really had any serious issues until March 2016. Long story short I needed my transmission fixed. The place I originally took it to gave me a quote that was over $4000 and about two weeks before it would be ready!!! My car sat a while as I looked around. My brother told me about Affordable Transmissions... I brought my car here and they quoted me almost $2300 dollars less then the last place! I thought I was a scam lol... I brought it in and had my car back in days! Running smoothly like I just drove it off the lot for the first time... Ever since then I've brought my car and everyone else's car that I know here for any repairs needed! They don't give you the run around and they are quick and long lasting repairs and did I mention AFFORDABLE!! I am very pleased! I highly recommend Affordable Transmission!!

If I could review this shop as a 0 Stars I would. I replaced a transmission back in 2017. The mechanic Failed to tighten a bolt back into the firewall. I have tried numerous times to get into contact with the business in order to have this resolved. But unfortunately the business is " under new ownership" which according to the state business ownership doesn't change until 7/31/2019. I would not recommend this business to anybody who needs transmission work. They are not detailed and definitely do not care to resolve any issues for their Customers. I have since Filled a complaint with the BBB, Consumer affairs. Looking into other options as well.!!!

I have taken my car here before and just like lat time they did a fabulous job. I spoke to the owner and he waited for me after hours to come get my car. His brother actually waited for me and jumped my car because the battery was dead. If you have any transmission problems I would call Affordable Transmissions first. Thank you for getting my car back on the road.

I went into thier shop to have a transmission issue diagnosed and the took 45 min to drive it around and came back and said I needed a full rebuild and that my rear end was completely toast. Which I thought fun as they tried to upsell me a rear end and I little suspect seeing is how I drove the vehicle to them on a supposed done rear end . Shop around and use them as a last resort

Many places I called for price quote and they don't give me the quote over the phone they always want me to tow in my car for the estimate and some give me very high prices. I found Affordable Transmissions on Craigslist, they quote me with unbelievable affordable price on my budget and had my car done in 3 days. Thanks Affordable Transmissions, you're guys are awesome !!

A one-star is me being generous they cut the shifter plastic part around my shifter and did not replace or fix it, they misplaced the Front plastic piece of my truck and they stoled a converter out of the inside of my truck. They had my truck for almost 3 weeks and then when my husband called on a Saturday at about 4 they told him if it wasn't done by Wednesday at the same time that he would give us a refund and he didn't honor his deal his name Cedro. Poor customer service poor business qualities the place is messy and not organized

We are here in WA for a visit and my transmission is slipping. I called all around to get a general price on my transmission problem, Affordable Transmissions was the only shop in town that would look and diagnose my problem for FREE. I went down there with a few estimates from over the phone, so I had a general idea just how much I would be spending. They told me the problem, but was ALOT cheaper on the price. They are one of the best mechanics I have ever had to deal with. Kept me informed and was done in a very timely mannor. I would recommend my friends and anyone to them because they are truly Honest, Friendly Service, Great Prices, and Fast Work!Thx guys !!

I brought my rig here for a transmission rebuild at the suggestion of a friend and after reviewing high online reviews I figured I would give them a shot; being $1,100 cheaper than having it done at the dealer.When I picked up the rig the transmission pan drain plug wasn't tight and was leaking fluid; there was fluid all over the pan and seeping out from the inspection covers of the bellhousing. I cleaned that up first thing when I got home.I've had to return twice in the last week since the transmission was rebuilt; for error codes indicating a problem with a torque converter solenoid. After having that part replaced I again found the drain plug leaking and more fluid on the bottom of the transmission along with the same error code coming back.I took it back to have the torque converter replaced; and when I picked up the rig I noticed someone hit the back bumper with something (left rubber/scrape marks on the paint); he denied any knowledge of this happening (they're not responsible for theft or damage in their open lot). There were greasy/oil hand prints on the inside grab handle. Again the drain plug wasn't tight and was seeping fluid along with fluid on the bottom of the transmission. I took it home and tightened the plug and washed the underside of the transmission again; only to find a bolt that holds a bracket onto the side transmission was missing, leaving the bracket loose and hanging. No, I don't think I will be taking it back to them to replace the missing bolt; I'll do it myself so I know it's done right.These guys may be able to rebuild a transmission but their execution and cleanliness is subpar. I can honestly say I don't know if they left anything else out or off of my rig, I'm going to spend some time taking a hard look at everything to be sure they didn't miss or mess anything else up. Thank goodness for the 5 year warranty; If I was a betting man I think it will continue to be used more than it already has. On the bright side he never once balked at fixing the transmission when I told him about the error codes coming up.I regret not finding the extra funds to have had the dealer replace the transmission instead of using these guys; then I would have had assurance it would have been done right the first time.

I called them first thing in the morning explaining my problem. They recommended a towing service who showed up within the hour. The problem was easily resolved & I was driving out 5 minutes later. The whole ordeal cost me $60.

Thank you Affordable Transmissions for all your help ! I took a trip to Washington Last week and my transmission was acting super funny.. It's weird for me because I never experienced anything like it before. I couldn't even put the car in drive without it jerking alot .. I would let it rest for a bit and it would be fine .. But for my safety, so I wouldn't be stuck on the side of the road or something, a friend recommended Affordable Transmission in Tacoma.. I took my car there and the really nice man told me that my transmission was slipping.. he gave me an estimate of how much it would cost and we compared it with other places !! Let me just say WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY cheaper! He was able to get it done way quicker than other auto shops .. On my trip back home everything felt so brand new, it was a smooth and safe drive home .. Thank you soooo much for all your help! Also , if you have any other problems minus the transmission, this is a great place to go !!!! Like seriously !! Go There !! You'll Love it !

They rebuilt my Tahoe's transmission quicker and for less than the estimate. After several years it's still going strong.Fast, friendly and affordable I recommend them.

I went in with no torque. I couldn't climb any hills. They checked my codes ,changed my TCC fuse. Sent me on my way, no charge. Van is climbing hills like a champ now. Honest mechanics rule! Made my day.

Will not recommend to anyone, the owners has changed so the service - really bed (rear deferential)... have to go and repair after them at different shop.

We have come to completely trust this place for all our car repairs. It can be hard to find a parking place but worth the trouble.
