However, Ms. Maria confidently assured me that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", especially considering that the vehicle is not used for towing, but to instead focus on scheduled engine oil replacements and to of course listen to the car as I go beyond 60k miles. The key point being that once you unseal these new CVTs and cause an issue, THEY CAN ONLY BE REPLACED, NOT REPAIRED OR REBUILT... Good luck getting this kind of advice at the dealership btw... Needless to say, I've taken her advice and can now use that $400 to do my brakes. Thanks Maria!

What I expected to be a routine oil change and tire pressure sensor replacement turned into rim…read moredamage and being sent home in an unsafe condition. I'm not a huge car or truck expert, but the shop looked decent from the street and the front desk staff were polite and able to squeeze me in on a Friday at 1 pm, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. When I returned to pick up my truck, I was told they had trouble removing my keyed locking lug nut and that it "snapped" during removal. I was then informed they didn't have a replacement lug that fit and that I would be fine driving home with only 5 out of 6 lug nuts. I was assured it was safe. Trying to stay calm and reasonable, I paid and went back to my truck. That's when I actually saw the damage. To remove the broken lug, they had completely bored it out, severely damaging the rim in the process. This was not minor scuffing--it was clear, permanent damage to my wheel. I sat in my truck for a moment because something didn't feel right. I turned it off, went back inside, and asked to see the broken lug nut. They handed it to me. When I explained that I was upset about the damage to my rim, I was brushed off and told I "won't see it," it "won't rust," and that I should just find replacement lugs online. No apology. No acknowledgment. No attempt to make it right. The entire interaction made it feel like, "Good luck--this is your problem now." What bothers me most is that I was never notified or asked for approval before they drilled out a lug nut and damaged my rim. That is someone's property, and the decision to cause visible damage should never be made without the customer's consent. While the oil change and tire sensor install were completed, I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and responsible for damage I did not cause. I've attached photos showing the rim damage, and I also noticed light scratching around other lug holes as well. I know I don't have "brand new" rims or lugs, but it's all I have. I wanted to like this place, but I don't feel I was taken care of or treated the way a customer should be. This was my first and will be my only visit.

Because of this experience I am always ready to fend off BS from the upsell. I dropped off my 03 Tacoma that had 170k on it to install rear suspension airbags and to give it a thorough check over as we are driving to Alaska in the summer. That type of request is ripe for oversell. I knew the truck's recent history and it was running fine, but I wanted it looked over. I received a call from David saying that the truck needed nothing. I went thru the history that came with the truck and decided to change all the oils in the drive train. He billed 1hr for the inspection which is what I would have expected. Honest shops are often like hen's teeth. This is one of them. Give them a try, you'll be happy you did.

Advance Auto Repair & Transmission - Please Read Before Trusting This Shop With Your Transmission…read more I normally do not leave negative reviews, but after dealing with this issue from November 2024 through 2026, I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision before spending thousands of dollars here. In November 2024, I brought my vehicle to Advance Auto Repair & Transmission because my transmission was slipping. After speaking with the owner, Frank, I paid $3,991 on 11/2/2024 to have my transmission rebuilt. About a week after getting my car back, I noticed transmission fluid leaking and had to return the vehicle for repairs. They corrected the leak, but approximately three months later, the transmission began slipping again. I brought the car back, and Frank repaired it without issue. However, shortly afterward, the torque converter (which is part of the transmission system) failed. The torque converter was replaced multiple times because, according to Frank, the parts supplier kept sending defective parts. Eventually, he ordered the part directly from the dealership. Unfortunately, after the replacement, the transmission slipping returned again. I continued reporting the issue, but every time we test drove the vehicle together, the problem would not happen while Frank was present but did happen when one of his employees test drove it with me for about 30 minutes and he cleaned a certain part that he thought would fix the problem, which it didn't. When I brought it back and told frank his employee noticed the slippage, we asked him but now he state he doesn't remember. Are you serious. What kind of shop is this. So frank again told me he believed I was "paranoid" and insisted the transmission was fine. Instead of fully resolving the issue, he extended my transmission warranty as a "courtesy." However, my concern was never about extending the warranty -- it was about properly fixing the transmission while it was still under warranty. I continued driving the car despite the slipping because I had already invested nearly $4,000 into the repair. Over the course of 2024 into 2026, I repeatedly brought the vehicle back regarding the same issue. Throughout this entire process, I remained patient and respectful, despite the ongoing frustration. My final visit was especially disappointing. After waiting for Frank to return from a test drive, he walked into the office laughing. I told him I did not understand what was funny because this situation has cost me thousands of dollars and years of inconvenience. Once again, he dismissed my concerns and told me the transmission was fine and that I was simply paranoid after we test drove it for only about 5 minutes. What makes this even more frustrating is that multiple passengers who rode in my car independently noticed the transmission slipping without me mentioning anything to them beforehand. Clearly, I am not imagining the issue. Before I left, Frank informed me that my warranty had expired, despite the fact that the original transmission problem was never permanently resolved while the warranty was active. Advance Auto Repair & Transmission advertises "100% guaranteed work," but based on my experience, I do not feel that promise was honored. After paying nearly $4,000 , which I'm still paying on and spending over a year returning to the shop for the same unresolved issue, my transmission is still slipping. Frank got paid, I still do not have a properly repaired transmission and I'm out of $4000.
