Most trusted service shop I have ever experienced. Have had about eight vehicles serviced by Randy over last 20 years or so and has always been my go to. Has always given solid advice on what to fix and even don't fix and get rid of said vehicle. Princeton area: you are lucky to have this shop in town! read more

High quality service and a detailed video, showing the problem and the fix! I appreciate Randy, taking the time to explain the fix and highlighting potential concerns for the future. I highly recommend Randy and his team! read more

Customer service and great work always. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust and only repairs what needs to be, this place is what you've been looking for. Thanks Randy and your entire great staff! P.S. It's a bit of a drive since their move, but well worth it working with people you trust. read more

Fixed a long-standing oil leak problem for a little over $100 that I'd spent thousands, over about four years, trying to get the leak fixed at a tires place. Tires place had tried everything they could apparently think of and finally told me I needed a new head gasket, other valves and things (estimate around $4,000). I have a 14-year old car, so $4,000 repair - I'm thinking the car's now junk. I'll have no car. I called my brother, who's still driving a truck that's even older than my car, and he told me about Randy. Brought the car to Randy. Randy says it was just an oil pressure gauge. A little over $100! As I recall. And to this day, end of the oil leak. For about a year, tires place kept telling me, "You have a chirp coming out of the engine." This is after fixing all kinds of things that probably weren't even broken. Take the car to Randy. Randy's son who was working, said right away I need to fix the serpentine belt; easy to fix, showed me it had a HOLE worn in it and fixed it for - can't remember exactly but something around or less than $100. End of chirping. Read on the internet worn serpentine belt really needs to be fixed and wondered why tires place just talked about it but didn't fix it. Randy always explains to me what's wrong, fixes it, and his prices are truly affordable. And my car is still running great! Highly highly recommend. read more

I have a 2007 Chevy Express. The Chevy Dealership has had my van for a week. I need a rebuilt transmission & rear differential. Chevy said the total would be over $6000. I could have cried. We have five children with no work van. Randy at Affordable Transmission was friendly & knowledgeable from the start. I had a clear understanding of what was going on. I was given a fair but steep price. More importantly I was given a 2 year warranty on the work. It reassures me to know that there are still honest people in the world. People that are not there to take advantage of the situation. Randy even provided us with a free tow from the Over priced & Over rated dealership. read more

Best prices around. They know their stuff, and aren't trying to charge you for things that don't need to be fixed. Great turn around time. Nice people. Ended up charging me $675 for a job that the dealership quoted me at $1,700, and got my car back to me same day. read more

I went to affordable transmission a couple days ago to get a new starter and a new wire for my power windows and locks it only took them a couple hours to finish it. He charged almost half for what I got quoted at other places! Nice and friendly run by father and son and they can literally fix it all highly recommended read more

It's 5:15pm on Tuesday the 6th of January. I am in the Cities heading back home 3 hours north pulling a U-Haul trailer, when I notice that I have no tail or trailer lights. Not one repair facility in the Brooklyn Park area is willing to try and help. I am desperate. I make one last call to Randy @ Affordable Transmission. He gives me directions to his shop and waits for me to get there. Randy and his son stay late, They located and repair the problem. What a relief. Thank you for taking the time to insure that I am able to safely drive back home. read more

I have a 2003 GMC Envoy which had the transmission go out march 2017. I agonized wether i should put over 2000$ repairs into a 15 yr old vehicle. I heard of Affordable Transmission through a co-worker who recommended him. While i was trying to decide what to do about the Envoy, i experienced a leaky brake line situation on my 2001 Toyota Avalon. Randy at Affordable got me in short notice before a holiday weekend and took care of my brake line leak. Very professional. Very knowledgable. Shows you what the problem is and what he did to fix it. Reasonable price. Okay...back to the Envoy. I finally decided to bite the bullet and have the Envoy transmission repaired. Randy suggested the update kit which was good advice. At the completion of the job he showed me all the parts he replaced. All the stuff which was worn out...and why. Explained the failure mode and that this new transmission is better than the original in 2003. (the updates are the 'fixes' to the original design which make it better). Been driving if for aweek. Its like a new car. No problems. And even if there was a problem, the job comes with a 2 yr - 24000 mile warranty. Ive been looking for a reliable, knowledgable, honest 'go to' mechanic. So far so good. I think i may have found him. read more
