I recently brought my 2003 Thunderbird into Advantage Transmission, after an unsuccessful trans…read morerebuild at a different trans shop (The car still had harsh shifting going into second and third gears). The owner, John, was very upfront about expectations, and said it could possibly be in the $2.5 to $4k range if another rebuild and expensive parts were needed. After he had a chance to take it apart to inspect, he determined the main problem was that it needed a new solenoid body. He replaced it, along with some other work, and the cost for parts and labor was a fraction of the initial rough estimate he gave. The best part is the T-Bird shifts great now and is a joy to drive again (I can put that V8 to good use now :) John was honest, fair and really knew what he was doing to get the job done right (and, as a side note, a really nice guy to deal with). I highly recommended John and Advantage Transmission in Woodstock for any transmission issues you might have in the future. 10 out of 10 all around!

A couple months ago, my Jeep started acting really wonky. The car would as they call it "slip…read morebetween gears". Weirdest thing ever. I creeped into my local repair shop-dropped the keys in the slot and hoped for the best. Remington"s (my trusted repair shop) have fixed everything on my car for years. They called me with crazy bad news,"It's my transmission and they can't fix it". The shop they recommended was an hour away and I thought ok Yelp will be where i find my answer. I must have sounded desperate when I sent the lonely message to Jason the owner of Crystal Lake Transmission. He texted me back in under an hour. He spent a great deal of time explaining all the details. I decided to trust him and we had AAA tow my Jeep to his location and it arrived within 3 hours. His communication was terrific through the whole process and He gave me a great price well under what I expected. My car is purring like a kitten and I am glad I trusted him. It's scary when something like this happens to your car. Keep in mind when something like this happens it takes a week or so to get your car back. The time went fast and I have a brand new transmission. One happy girl!!

If I didn't live so far away (40+ miles) I'd make this THE go to place for my 2019 Honda CRV. I was…read moreon the tollway, going with the flow of traffic at about 70mph, when I suddenly heard an awful, terrifying, loud metal screeching sound coming from my car. When I was able to exit the tollway & pull over to a safe side street, I looked at the under carriage & found that the metal skid plate that covers & protects the underside of the engine, had come loose & was dragging & scraping the pavement. Knowing that issue creates dangerous sparks & other problems I decided to call AAA. Lucky for me, the tow truck driver suggested Charlie Car Care, and took me & my SUV there. The staff took my car immediately, reattached the skid plate with new bolts, and had me out of there in under an hour! Their price was very reasonable! I expected to pay 3-4x more, so was super pleased when they told me the price. The waiting area is nice & comfortable too. In addition to all that, the staff is super friendly. Madeline and Moises are excellent at customer service. Just like the other reviewers say...they are really professional & very friendly. All the staff members deserve 5 stars! If I lived 40 miles closer, I would definitely go back again. I HIGHLY recommend this business anyone that needs help with their vehicles.
