I purchased ALL PARTS NEED EVEN 2gal CONCENTRATED ANTI FREEZE for water pump & thermostat replacement. (Which they didn't replace all pairs with the new pairs I bought for the car, according to multiple shops used pairs were placed on my vehicle) I had to buy fill my car with (3) 2 qts of transmission fluid after leaving the shop. I paid them Thank you so much they told me it needed 3qt of transmission fluid. The car was still running hot not even 5 minutes up the road they told me I had to run my AC on to keep it from over heating! SMH. I They didn't replace the thermostat at all. They told me I didn't needed. I called/ texted same day next trying to get them to correct it but they response stopped when I went with a male so they could explain what happened to the pairs I gave bought the owner Zen was very rude & argumentative & defensive, threatening to kick us out of his office after we caught him in a lie. I should have called the police. I didn't because my son said he was ok & did won't my son to be angry. I told them to put all of old parts on the floor @ passenger front seat & they didn't. I trusted them because of my son & thought I could work things out with them but when I tried to talk to Zen he had a really nasty attitude at the start of the conversation very after I told him we didn't come to argue. I was disappointed because I had plan to use this shop for towing & auto service for both of my cars & had even referred 2 others. Thank god they didn't go. Zen & his wife were friendly at start. Zen even accused me of trying to get charity work but I messaged him multiple times & asked him for the price for both parts to be replaced on my car but he never replied with the full amount. I didn't asked for any type of charity work nor save me money. I only wanted my vehicle repaired so I could drive it with a peace of mine & not have to drive with the AC on to keep it from overheating. He may have done great work for others but I didn't get that in my opinion. I wouldn't give them not even 1 star.

At 115 k miles it's running much smoother the service was at least 1/3rd to half of what the dealer would have charged. So get it in gear and go see advanced for any tranny issues.

Tl;dr it looks like the shop doesn't really care about the cars or customers that come into the…read moreshop. Attempts to discuss were met with indifference. In February, my car's transmission had seemingly developed an issue all of a sudden. I looked online based on the symptoms and we looked at what the common issues were. We saw the breather valve on this make/model would become clogged, so we cleaned the valve thoroughly and topped off the transmission fluid. I then opted to take the conservative path forward and wanted to bring it to Adavnce Transmission to let them inspect the transmission and make sure everything was good. The car had close to 190k miles on this transmission and I understand things don't last forever. I talked to both the woman at the front and one of the mechanics and explained everything that had occured with great detail and specifically asked for the transmission to be dropped, inspected, and look for any issues, warnings, or concerns that they might find. I picked up the car on the following Monday. "We cleaned the breather valve and brought the transmission fluid levels to the correct level. Nothing wrong with the transmission at all. The mechanic was surprised how good the transmission was especially after seeing how many miles were on it. You can pick up your car when you're ready." 28 days later. I'm driving to work at 4am, while driving up a small hill the car loses all gears. Thankfully, I was close the peak of the hill and was able to coast down to gas station and safely park while waiting for a tow truck and a ride. Once parked, the car had transmission oil dripping out from it. It was clear there was a leak. I called the shop as soon as they opened and explained what the car had experienced that morning. I requested the transmission be looked over, to see where the leak was coming from and any other indicators of what happened and if it was salvageable. Shortly after getting confirmation the car made it to the shop from the towing company, the same woman at the front of the shop called and said "the mechanic says your transmission is just dead." I mentioned that just 28 days prior they told me everything was great. How could it go from great to dead in such a short time? "The transmissions can just go out, without any warnings or signs sometimes. You can either pay $7,000 for a new transmission plus labor or pick up your car whenever you're ready." Obviously, I've shortened this call but the same indifference was shared throughout the 5-7 minute call. I had the car towed to another mechanic. What he found shows the level of indifference the mechanics had for the car, and the shop's desires to sweep things under the rug: He first filled the transmission with transmission fluid to see where the leak was coming from. He let it sit for 3 days then lifted the car. One of the transmission sensors was loose, not even hand tight. He inspected it, then tightened it down to spec, and refilled the transmission again. 3 more days, no more leaks. He then started the car up. It's now been several days and there hasn't been any issues of leaking or of the transmission being dead. If you want to spend thousands of dollars to fix an issue they may have created, take your transmission issues to Advance Transmission. If you want honest work on your vehicle, you'll have to go somewhere else.
