My favorite thing about this shop: 1. Father and son owned 2. If they can't fix it - they refer you somewhere else 3. They really really have great ideas and run them by you on how to save money. 4. I find them way more affordable than other mechanic shops read more

I recently had my 2013 Ford Escape in for a transmission rebuild. The owner, Art, did all the work and guaranteed the repair. The car ran great for about three weeks then developed a Klunk once in a while. I went back to Art and told him what was going on, he took the car in the next day and did a complete tear down and examination and replaced everything a second time!! No change! ! All part of his personal guarantee to make it work perfect! Excellent place for a transition repair! read more

Art was amazing! Friendly, kind service. Kept me informed every day of the progress. I would highly recommend them to anyone. SUPER HONEST also! read more

Excellent service and the owner is very honest. I asked to add a shift kit upgrade while they repaired my transmission but when he opened the transmission he saw that I already had the upgraded kit installed and didn't need one. Most other places would have charged me for the kit even if I didn't needed it and I would have never known. Not this place, they told me I already had one and I wouldn't need one. I also purchased an upgraded pan online during the repair and didn't have it by the time the repairs were done. The owner told me not to worry about it, that once the new upgraded pan arrived to just bring the truck back that he would install the new pan for free. He kept his promise. Best decision I ever made to bring my truck here! Thanks for quality, honesty and service! read more

I forgot the dad's name but he is the man had to replace a neutral safety switch on my Is250 a couple weeks ago runs like a charm now

So glad we were referred by a friend to advance tranz. Robert and art took care of my car and my boyfriend's car. They were honest, had fair pricing, and had our car out within the same day.

I had my ford excursion transmission rebuilt here by art and his son,and my excursion runs like new,the price was very reasonable,the job was completed super fast,im recommending them to all my family and friends they have a customer for life! read more

Art was a life saver! My journey to him was based out of feeling unsure on the recommended repairs provided by a different shop. Instead of calling to set an appointment I went straight to ADVANCE TRANZ and wanted to see what they new about a transmission for my 99 Dodge Dakota. I walked in and immediately got educated on how everyone is pushed to believe it's a transmission issue but could be a multitude of other issues that simply affect the transmission. Well after a full diagnostic it was my torque converter, after identifying all that was going to take place I went ahead and did a full overhaul on my transmission just to be safe (Per Art's recommendation) and so glad I did. Art you and your son were awesome! My truck is running like a HOG and back on the road. Grateful for you guys! read more

They are hands down the place to service your vehicle,they service my Ford 1 ton truck,Chrysler mini van and my Honda Fit .I strongly recommend you see their 5 star service for yourself .the are fairly priced with no need to sell you parts you don't need.I recommended them to my sister in law now she agrees no one else will work on her Honda Civic. Thanks Art &son read more

Art is the best he knows his stuff. Done a couple transmissions for me and always has been there. Quick service and great prices. He won't do a repair if it's not needed. Transmissions are his specialty but he does other work. I believe he has free estimates also he recently moved to another shop that is right next to the old one. I took my ChevyS there and my Lincoln's. He also does mufflers and cat converter's best prices in town. Hands-down my go to repair shop. read more

Art and Robert rebuilt my transmission on fusion and they did a excellent job. I would strongly recommend them. Honest and excellent mechanics!!! read more

I have experienced nothing but professional and honest outcomes on my car repairs. This is such a blessing in knowing that I will get fair, respectful and professional treatment as a woman-- unlike so many other past negative experiences at other places. I highly recommend Advance Tranz! read more

Art is phenomenal. I brought my 2012 Hyundai Accent to him because it'd been whining for awhile and was super annoying. I thought it was the tensioner or the transmission. Art brought out his stethoscope and thought it was a bad bearing in my alternator. He jacked the car up, removed the heat shield and discovered that the noise was actually the A/C compressor. He recommended his nextdoor neighbors, MD Automotive, who took care of the problem for me. But, any transmission problems in the future and I will be back to Advance Tranz for sure! Thank you! read more

Great prices, friendly, and family owned. My 5 year old daughter had food, so the owner put on Netflix, and children's cartoons in the waiting room for her.. Very nice... read more

Advanced Tranz is a great repair shop. Took my daughters car to Art and he fixed it with no problem. We thought it was the flex pipe but it ended up being the exhaust pipe flange. He fixed it, warrantied it for a yea, and gave us a great price too. read more

Brought my truck here Art checked it out for free fixed my issue and didn't charge an arm and a leg very honest mechanic

I would like to start by thanking ART, this gentleman is a true mechanic that is not trying to take advantage of his customers just to make some extra money. He is very honest and saved me a lot of money. I had went to other mechanics prior and was told that my vehicle was going to need a new transmission which was going to cost me about $1600. I then found Advance Tranz on Yelp and took my vehicle to get diagnosed which he didn't charge for, Art drove my vehicle for about 2/3 min and then told me that before I just assume that it's the transmission for me to change the TPS and see if that helps. I did just that and now my car is running amazing to what it was before. So in all I just would like to thank Art for being a honest and true guy. I will be recommending other and will be returning in the future if I have any other issues with my vehicles. read more

Quick and friendly service with very reasonable prices. Some muffler shops are cramped into crowded facilities where even getting into the parking lot is a hassle. Not here. Just a quick and honest fix. read more

Art went university and beyond and did a great job at a great price! Would highly recommend

Art and his fellow mechanics went above and beyond to fix my problem! I have a 2001 Chevy s-10 Blazer that had transmission problems... They rebuilt it and after a few months problems popped up again. I took it back and he did more work and gave it back. Started having problems again and he fixed it one more time. Then it happened again, so I took it back and he said enough is enough! We are replacing this transmission! Keep in mind this is all under warranty and he is losing out of pocket now! Long story short... It's fixed and better than ever! Thank you Art and Co.!!! Too bad there isn't a 10 rating because that's what I'd give! Definitely a customer and friend for life!!! read more

I've been coming to Art for years, honest service and affordability are second to none! They always do a great job with a sense of urgency. Strongly recommend. read more

Arte was great. My car was making a noise. He drove it around the block and told me what the problem was. I'm not a mechanic so I don't know all the vocabulary but he said it was an exhaust problem. He quoted me a very great price... really low actually, and fixed it. Even put in a new sensor for free. My car runs great again!!! Thanks Arte!! read more

The guys that work here such as Angel and Art are very professional and will do their best to help you with your car needs. I started with an inquiry through Yelp and spoke to Angel who promptly answered all my questions in regards to my truck which had its engine light on. Angel was very helpful with providing me with information in regards to the problem with my truck and helped me get my truck back to normal. I would definitely recommend going to Advance Muffler and Tansmission and speak to Angel about your car troubles as he keeps things respectful, fair, and honest with his customers. read more

Outstanding service and quality work. My 2002 Toyota Sequoia transmission finally gave out after 230,000 miles. Art and his crew did a complete rebuild and my Sequoia runs like new. I highly recommend this business for all your transmission repair needs. read more

Excellent mechanics. Very reasonable pricing. They went out of their way to locate a hard to find part for my old Ford 4x4 pickup.

Went in for an exhaust job. Everyone was very nice and the job was done quickly. The owner kept a tab on me when I told him the performance wasn't as good, and helped to research with me possible solutions. I ended up just resetting the ECU and that did the trick. Definitely recommend this place. read more

My car was making some weird noises when I took it to Art he right away handled It. Thank u Art!! My car runs amazing!!! :)

I brought my 2013 Challenger R/T in on Saturday to do an exhaust modification. I was prepared to spend $400 to have Magnaflow's installed. The guys who were working offered a solution that would not require me to purchase new mufflers by removing the two resonators in the rear. It sounded amazing and I only paid $105. After driving to work this week, I quickly realized that the interior "Drone" noise at 2000 rpm was too much to handle since I'm on the road 100 miles a day. I called on Tuesday and spoke with Art and found that they still had the resonators that were removed and made an appt. to bring my Challenger back in to have them put back on today. Art was extremely friendly and quickly put them back on and refused to allow me to pay for his time and labor. I really didn't feel right about this, but he would not accept payment. This was my decision to have it done and I wasn't happy with MY decision. This in no way shape or form was their issue. This shop and the people are awesome! They have absolutely earned any future business from me. Thank you Art and your team for excellent service all the around! read more

Highly recommend this shop...we thought my son's transmission was done, and he quickly and honestly told me it was something inexpensive to fix...he could have taken advantage...I was referred by a good friend who said they were trustworthy, she was right...totally go there! read more
