I looked up the closest electrical mechanic thinking they would be most helpful for diagnostic, and I found the right place! Thank you Sammy! I baaarely made it to his shop, but what a relief! This is an honest family-run shop with bright staff and a real future if everyone gets treated as well as I was. They tried to send me away for no charge! I prefer to pay for good service (and I hope I wasn't too bothersome!) As others have said, Sammy and his wife are both accommodating, knowledgeable and straight-forward about car issues - even weird stuff like mine! He and his mechanic stopped their work and quickly ruled out several electrical issues before figuring out my fuel pump was on the fritz. He sent me up the road to the parts store, and graciously allowed me to swap the pump myself before getting on my way. He even stopped his work again to make sure things were working right. 100% satisfied!

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received here. I have brought my car in over ten…read moretimes for the same brake /rotors issue, and each time I was told something different. Chris originally told me that my rotors and bearings were bad, so I agreed to have them replaced. I paid over $700 for the repairs, yet the same noise continued right after I left. Every time I returned, Chris told me there was nothing wrong, even though the noise got louder each day. I repeatedly asked for the issue to be checked, but instead of fixing the problem, I was given excuses such as "we're too busy today" or "your car would have to stay overnight." On September 1st, 2025, I went back once again and asked for my brakes and rotors to be replaced because the problem was clearly still there. Chris quoted me another $250 and claimed my front brakes were at 35% and the rear at 55%. My question is--why should I have to pay more for the same problem I have been reporting from the very beginning? When I asked Chris to contact the owner, Chris came back and said the owner would give me a $50 discount. That is not acceptable. I should not have to pay again for work that was never done properly the first time. This shop has been misleading, unhelpful, and unwilling to take responsibility for their mistakes. I would not recommend anyone bring their car here, as they do not stand behind their work

I am writing this review to warn future customers about my unacceptable experience with Affordable…read moreTransmission and Auto Repair Center regarding an ATRA nationwide warranty repair. Background and Initial Service: My vehicle's transmission was rebuilt a few months ago by a different authorized ATRA shop. Due to a recent move, the original shop authorized me to bring the car to this affiliate location, a 30-mile drive from my new home, for a warranty diagnosis. Upon drop-off on 11/18/2025, the front desk employee immediately became cold and dismissive when I mentioned the words "warranty repair." The Issue & The Refusal to Diagnose: The problem is specific and reproducible: when the car is cold, driving downhill causes the transmission to shift into what feels like neutral. Pressing the gas results in rising RPMs but no movement, forcing me to shut the engine off and restart it to re-engage the drive. After two days, I received a call informing me they could not reproduce the issue and were refusing to work on the car. I explained to Miguel that the condition requires a cold start and a specific downhill coast, asking them to try again or keep the car longer. He flatly refused any further testing, stating they were done with the vehicle. Integrity Violation and Fraudulent Documentation: Since they refused to honor the warranty, I requested a written reason for the denial of service, which is standard procedure. Miguel went to review my paperwork. When he returned, he presented a form and demanded I sign it before he would provide any written explanation. This form was an explicit waiver where I would acknowledge that the issue I claimed was not present and that their testing proved my claim was false. I refused to sign a document that was contrary to reality, as the transmission issue is demonstrably still present. The Threat and Escalation: Because I refused to sign the false waiver, Miguel refused to give me any written denial and escalated the situation. He told me he wouldn't help me anymore because I was "not a nice person." When I stated I would write an accurate review of this unprofessional experience, he raised his voice and began threatening me: Threats of litigation. Explicit threats of physical harm to myself and/or my property at my home. Threats to contact my employer to have me fired. I immediately took my keys and walked to my car, with Miguel following me out of the office, continuing to curse and issue threats. This behavior is far beyond poor customer service; it is menacing, unprofessional, and a direct failure to honor the ATRA warranty program. The shop refused to perform due diligence, attempted to force me to sign a false legal document, and threatened my physical safety. Avoid this business at all costs. Date of Visit: 11/18/2025+11/22/2025 Employee Name: Miguel (Front Desk)

Alberto's isn't your typical automotive shop. There's no waiting room and it's kind of difficult to find. That being said, the father and son who run the shop were very nice and efficient. My husband took our vehicle in for an oil change. The price wasn't cheap, but it seemed about what other shops were quoting so it was fair. And everything is more expensive right now. It's always scary trying to find a new automotive place. We picked Alberto's because the Yelp profile said they had a waiting room and their reviews were good and they had supposedly been in business 20 years. I think their Yelp profile needs updating because they don't have a waiting room and the father told us they've been in business 2 and a half years and the son said 4 and a half but Yelp said 20 years. So we don't know what to believe, but they did a great job! :D I don't want to give the wrong impression. We would go back there again for an oil change. We prefer supporting small businesses. I just think you need to be aware of what you're getting into so you're prepared for what the experience will be so you don't judge them too harshly.
