Dominic and John are great to deal with. Alwsys kept me in the loop on what they found wrong with my F150. More than fair pricing. Would recommend them. Jay A. read more

Still have not received an apology from Dominick for the way he had treated my mother and myself for mistakes he made. We still haven't received an apology for calling us names. I haven't received an apology for his negligence to hear either of us out and completely talking over us. There was no apology for antagonizing me into a screaming match due to the excessive talking over. I would be more than happy to update my reviews if he takes accountability for his mistakes and refunds my elderly mother on the money he forced her to pay for a tow that we had not asked for. He lied to 4 about this situation. His behavior was completely unacceptable and unwarranted. I highly recommend to not do business with him unless you want to be verbally abused. Again, if there is a proper apology I will update my review. Until then he will continue to get 1 star reviews from me until he recognizes his wrong doing. read more

Dominick & his crew were great! This is the first time I have used their services & if the need arises I will be back. They were honest & very reliable & rebuilt the transmission on my van. It runs perfectly now. Thank you! read more

These guys do an excellent job for a ridiculously low price. Very friendly, professional and above board. Have been here for an automatic rebuild and a manual rebuild and both were below competition in terms of cost, but above average in quality. The end result is as smooth as brand new. I just got a new clutch on my Accord. Dom turned the car around superfast and, more importantly they did a great job and for a good price. The car shifts like brand new. They are friendly guys, too. read more

I have been to many places for my transmission but this was absolutley the best. Dominick was such a nice guy and a true gentelmen. He walked through the problems and was very transparent and helpful. They fixed my transmission and I highly recommend dominick and personally want to thank him. -Jafar Khan read more

They were referred by another shop who wasn't able to do the work that Car Shield. These guys are the real deal. I have never met anyone who worked so hard to help me with my issues with Car Shield and consistently offered advice as assistance with my transmission. I can't speak more highly of this shop and these people. read more

After my grandson's car broke down and thinking it was the transmission, I called a few places. The car, after a 5 1/2 hour wait for a tow truck, was brought to my home and parked on the street. The driveway was just sealed so the car had to remain on the street. The police told me the car could not be left on the street and had to be moved. Dominick, the owner of A Affordable, could not have been better. Even though he was backed up, he agreed to let us tow the car to his place. The car was looked at the next day. It turned out that it was not a transmission problem after all. Dominick recommened DJ's Auto Service in Schaumburg to look at the car. DJ's will pick the car up. I couldn't have asked for better customer service. If the car had needed a transmission A Affordable had the best price and the best customer service. read more

Thank you again Dominic for the amazing service. I took my car in with a flashing "D" and the check engine light on. They were able to fix the sensor that day. Only took a couple hours. The truly went above and beyond on a Friday afternoon. read more

Well, I tried to baby the clutch in my 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT to try and get 100k miles out of it. I made it to 98,000 and decided it was time. I seriously researched about 20 or so local shops, and did some deep digging. There seem to be a few quality shops, and a lot where they started out OK, gave me a baseline quote for my clutch work, and then started adding stuff over the phone. I went to a few different places that made my list just to see. The only shop that didn't try to up-sell something was A Affordable Transmission. I dealt with Dominick 100%, because a lot of you said him or John were the man. Dom was awesome, straight forward with me. I gave him every opportunity to replace the flywheel if needed. He didn't even try to up-sell me on it, he turned it and said it was fine. I got so used to driving a bad clutch, that when backing out of the parking lot there, I stalled it. Then at a light, stalled it again. All I could do was laugh at myself. I have a friend who complained she couldn't drive my car because the clutch was hard as hell to push in (that never bothered me, I kind of liked it honestly). Now, it is how it should be & she was amazed. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing though now that I think about it. Anways, if you are one of those who think I am a paid shill who was given a deep discount or something for this review because you didn't get your way, sorry, but last I checked there are no doctors in the area that AAT is at that can help you. Thanks Dom & team for actually making me like this car again :) read more

It's nice to feel that there is still honest and good people left in the world. This place does a great job at a great price and stands behind their work. All the work they've done was done right. Thanks!Highly recommended! -Stefan read more

A Affordable Transmission Specialists - Transmission Repair Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

This shop did a fabulous job replacing my BMW transmission a few years ago. Since then, they have done an even better job advising me that certain problems in several other cars are not the fault of the transmissions. Thank you, A Affordable Transmissions! read more

THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST. Don't even consider taking your car anyplace else. I was struggling with my 1999 Ford Expedition which was leaking some oil fluid of some sort. My adventure in getting it fixed started with PepBoys on Barrington Road in Schaumburg where I was told after 5 days of waiting without my truck that the differential was leaking and needed to be replaced; in over $700 of repairs later my truck was only in my garage for only 1 day when I was soaking up oil again from my garage floor. Frustrated as all Hell I went back to PepBoys who told me it was a transmission leak and they do not do transmissions and no restitution for the repairs that did nothing. In desperation I searched for a trans place on-line and came across A Affordable Transmission on Wise Road in Schaumburg. By the grace of God I was helped by Dominick Ricco. I have to say I have never had such a forthright honest experience in any capacity with respect to auto service. Dominick actually took my wife and I in back, lifted the truck and explained that there seemed to be a small seal leak from the engine compartment. He suggested a repair shop that he has faith in, thanked us for coming in and sent us on our way with no cost for even evaluating the situation. Even when I offered him a small tip for his trouble he said no way. Once again: THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST. Don't even consider taking your car anyplace else. read more

What a find this place is! Look no further if you live in the Schaumburg/Roselle area for an honest mechanic. After getting recently ripped off by the local Honda dealership, I was not excited at the prospect of bringing my car back to have my transmission looked at. Dominick was helpful, quick, and did not sell me any unnecessary work. My transmission is all healed now. Thanks for the great service! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place!!! When my transmission started going out on my Malibu and every other shop wanted to give my husband and I the run around Dominic came through with superior service and that car is running like new again!!! Would reccomend him to anyone and will definitely be back for all my automotive needs!!!! A Affordabe is exactly that and exceeded all expectations!!! read more

Doesn't get any better than A Affordable Transmission. I had my transmission rebuilt. Top notch service all around. From the excellent communication on keeping you informed about the repairs that need to be made , to the finished product of the repair was flawless. Very competitive pricing. Best customer service you will find in the automotive field. Thank you. To Dominic and the crew at A Affordable Transmission. read more

Great shop! Honest, good priced and super cool guys! Fixed my trans and even honored the warrantee they promised even though I think they lost money doing it! They care about the customer and will do whatever it takes to please you!! read more

Let me start off by saying a huge thank you to Dominic and the entire crew at affordable transmission. I don't write reviews very often unless the experience was beyond stellar. Which in this case was a understatement ! I came in unannounced and without calling because I was in the area. Was greeted by Dominic, very helpful, friendly and willing to answer any and all questions I had about what the issue I was having and what they recommended to get it fixed. My truck is my baby, I will try to do 99% of the work myself because I can't afford to be paying someone to work on my truck when I'm fully capable of doing most things, just how I was brought up. With that said there are things that are just beyond the capability of the average shade tree mechanic like myself. Transmissions are one of them. I told Dominic what my trouble codes were. I have the ability to read and delete my "engine light" codes and causes. Dominic knew exactly what the codes were and what was likely the cause. That alone showed me one huge thing in my opinion,and that was he knew what he was talking about. I did my research and found out what the codes mean and what all the possible causes were. Dominic confirmed my fears and I was advised that they would look into the trans issue but in his experience a full rebuild would more than likely be needed. Ohhh sh$&. Here comes the price that would likely send me running for he hills! Well to my surprise the price was more than reasonable for a full and complete rebuild! and they do offer financing through a company they work with, but make sure if at all possible to either pay cash or put it on a credit card because the interest rate with the financing company they use is a little high, but if that's your only option to get you back on the road it's worth it. I even asked about upgrading parts which I know will cost more and I would say most places would say ohh yeah spend more with us, not the case here, I asked about a bigger trans pan that I wanted and was advised that what I had was more than sufficient and if it was his truck he would just keep it they way it is stock because it's designed to do what it does. Really impressed he didn't try to up sell me something I didn't need! So I talked it over with the boss and decided to go ahead with the rebuild. I plan on passing this truck down to my son and want it to last. I dropped it off on a holiday weekend and was told it would be done in 3-5 business days. Well as promised it was done on time and ready to roll. They told me when I dropped it off, and when I asked if I need to make a deposit for the work they said without hesitation " if we can't fix it you don't pay for it". Makes me feel like they are really good and confident at what they do and have the knowledge to tackle any job! So now for the real test, I moved my 38 foot 12,000 LB camper 350 miles to Indiana 4 days after I got it back. Truck drove like a dream! Pulled like it was designed to. My trans temp never climbed over the 170's which of you don't know is the major killer or trans parts! Heat is the enemy! My miles per gallon was better than ever and I never once had a check engine light come on. The truck pulled the camper like it wasn't even there. It's back to the way it's supposed to be! I can't say enough good things about the team at affordable transmission. If your in need of trans work which in my opinion is best left to the experts, stop by and get a quote. If your like me and picky about leaving your "baby" with a mechanic trust me when I say this. You will not be disappointed! As with any business you will always have some people who are.... just unrealistic with their demands, never happy with the outcome no matter what it is, even if it's a good experience and everything went better than expected. They people at affordable trans do top notch grade A work and at a fraction of the price of what the stealership would do it for. Support all local small business because they are who in my opinion do the best work. Do your research and go in informed and be ready to be surprised at how well run a small Local business can blow you away with service and a real want to make a good name for themselves! Thanks again guys! read more

Nice company to work with as we have needed trans work done on a couple company cars. Being a business owner myself and dealing with several different companies on a weekly basis you can tell an honest company vs one trying to get your money and run. This company stands behind there work and are friendly to deal with. read more

I've worked with a lot of mechanics, and you can always tell how good a mechanic is by what they tell you after the job is done. Good mechanics will give you a run-down of what they found, what they fixed. Great mechanics will answer your questions, and possibly tell you a few extra things they noticed about your car along the way. Dominick and his guys are EXCELLENT mechanics. They cover all the bases, go above and beyond with communication, and make sure you get the job done right at the best price. On top of that, they are all really nice guys. Any transmission work I need in the future is going to this shop. I would recommend the same to anyone asking. read more

Had the transmission in my 2002 Acura MDX rebuilt a few months back. Price was fair and car has been driving like new since. They identified a broken engine mount during the process and they put it in free of charge - I bought the part on my own from the dealer. Work was done when promised. read more

went there with my truck for free estimate . Dominic took truck for test and after 45 min. explain to me the transmission works fine i have problem with engine. This days is hard to find trustworthy business this one is. Thanks for your honesty. read more

So let me first start by saying I have not spent a dime here yet. I had a funky problem with my 2001 Chevrolet Malibu. Being a back yard mechanic I came to the conclussion that it was either the transmission or some funky computer problem. Both issues I am not equipped to handle. I called Aafordable on a saterday morning and set an appointment for 11AM the same morning. I was set on getting my trans flushed and inspected so I could rule it out as a possibliity. Upon arrival one of the techs came with me on test drive. He deduced thast the trans sounded good and needed no work. I ask him for a trans service anyway, but he told me I'd be wasting my money. What a relief to have a honest tech to look at my car. They could have easily preformed unnecessary work and I would be none the wiser. It turned out I had a clogged catilitic convertor but that's another YELP all together. So thanks for being honest and friendly, I'll be sure to reccommed this shop to any one looking for a good trans place. read more

I very rarely write reviews, but felt that one was warranted here regarding the service I received from Dominic at Affordable Transmission Specialists. Prior to bringing my Volvo for Dominic to look at, all signs pointed at a Transmission Rebuild. There was major shudder, and erratic RPM performance issues. The Vovlo dealer said it need a transmission software update ($200). It did not fix the problem. They then said that since the update did not take care of the transmission symptoms, I would need a rebuild. I took it to Dominic for a second opinion. The price he quoted for a rebuild was very reasonable, and he indicated that he would actually rebuild my existing trans instead of sourcing a used or a rebuilt from a third party. I liked this idea a lot, in that he would get to the root cause, repair accordingly and stand behind his work. This felt much better than relying on a third party to provide the transmission. Anyway, he diagnosed the issue before ripping anything apart and as it turns out, he discovered it was actually an ignition misfire issue. I just replaced an ignition coil myself ($70), and all the symptoms that the dealer said were transmission related went away. This speaks volumes to Dominic's integrity, honesty and understanding of a value system that should foster a long term successful business with repeat customers. There is no doubt that I will utilize his transmission services if I actually ever do need them. He could have easily taken me to the cleaners like the dealer was about to do, but took the high and honest road. Thank you Dominic! Vince Delfini Hoffman Estates IL. read more

My daughters 1999 Toyota Corrolla would not start in Park (would not engage properly) unless I pushed the release button that is under the tab on console and reshifted into nuetral or back to park. Car would also roll back if parked on hill (not engaged in Park). I didn't want to spend more on repairs than what it is worth, I made appointment with A Affordable after reading reviews. They took me right in and I met Dominick Riccio who put it on the lift while I went to breakfast. I returned in 45 minutes and Domick showed me the Sticking cable that he lubed for me and that the linkage was pretty rusted and if it broke when they removed it they would have to access the transmission which would incur further cost. At the moment he has it working properly after lubing cable and linkage. I feel safe to let my daughter take it back into city. He also informed me that eventually I may have to proceed further with repairs if it the problem returns and replace cable and linkage inside transmission. Dominick would accept no fees for his time and effort. If this problem comes back I will definetly take the car to them for repair. Dominick checked underside for me to ensure everthing was OK while it was up and gave it a clean bill of health. Great Honest Place! Thanks Dominick! read more

Figured I wait to write this review till driving around a bit after the repairs. I am very happy I found Affordable Trans. Here is my short story. After being frustrated dealing with a different trans shop who was trying to upgrade their original quote to get this work done on my vehicle, I walked into Affordable Transmissions worried. At the time I've been driving around with an expired registration because I couldn't pass the emissions test. The moment I walked into Affordable, I was greeted by Dominick right away with a smile. Explained to him what was happening and he not only was honest but confident his team could help me. The price he quoted was the price I paid. No BS! He saved me about $750 from what the original shop was charging me. ($2150) My car took longer than expected so, Dominick offered to pay for a rental car till my car was ready. I did not take him up on it but, just for him to offer that was nice of him. After my car was done I DID have to drive my car more to "GET READY" my emissions monitors. In the end after driving it around a couple days I was able to pass my test and get my sticker. It's been almost a month after the repair and I couldn't of been happier that I brought my vehicle to Dominick & his team & A Affordable Transmission. Thanks guys! You will get my referral if anyone I know is in need of repairs in your field. read more

I searched reviews before I selected a trans repair shop for my 2000 Ford Taurus. Affordable Transmission appeared to be highly recommended not only for their work but, for their affordability and honesty. I was not let down. Dominick was patient and reassuring. He was so nice and helpful. Recently, my trans was not shifting from 1st to second unless I warmed it up for 15 or 20 minutes. I called Dominick and he told me to bring it in right away. He told me it's under warranty, don't worry we'll take care of it. No run around. So many places try to back out of their promises to the consumer once the work is done. Dominick is a knowledgeable, positive person eager to help you. I wouldn't go any where else. Though there are plenty of repair shops closer Affordable Trans is worth the drive from Elmhurst for me. Oh, I almost forgot. I first contacted him through his web site and he called me within minutes! I couldn't believe it. read more

"WARNING Customer WARNING" please Beware" their 5 star review is a SCAM....it should be Zero star.... at A Affordable Transmission shop, hear my story, I spoke to Dominick and he gave me a price quote to repair my car which cost me parts and labor $800. I found out after the repair that I could have had my repair done with parts and labor for $650 from another Trans shop. I was over charged $150. Secondly when I pick up my car and drove to work, I decided to check my trans fluid and discovered it was over filled by half a quart of trans fluid, I call Dominick to express how upset I was and that I paid good money to have work done professionally by trans repair guys and he told me it doesn't matter if it was over filled its o.k. WHAT??????? Toyota just like every car maker has a dip stick to let you know not to over fill or if its low on fluid that's why it was design for to protect the transmission, I was shock and speechless when he told me that. This guy Dominick is a Trans repair guy, this is basic 101 beginners who do this job never to over fill, because you can damaged the transmission but Dominick argued with me and told me I should apologize cause I was wrong even after I told him I took a picture to prove it, he didn't want to hear it. I called other transmission shop and the guys LAUGHED so hard they were speechless too at Dominick response that if it's over fill it doesn't matter what a joke. Please call other Trans shop in the area, customers stay away you will be sorry later. Their 5 star review is SCAM just to bring customer to think their shop is the best and that their good and honest repair shop NOT true! I learned my lesson never to go back! read more
