This place was great. I worked with Tina over the phone, and she was very helpful. They diagnosed the issues with my vehicle and assisted the tow truck driver when they arrived since I was unable to be onsite.

Everyone seems so on the same page. Eager and ready to help resolve someone's problem. My turn came quickly and I had much confidence in what I was hearing from Bill and Tina and the lady at the front desk. The financing assistance just put it over the top. I did not expect that. I love that that Bill only believe in repairing a car the right way. Also my car was done and im very timely fashion. I'm sure a lot of people would love to know about All State Transmission and auto repair shop. Instead of their car being stuck in a shop somewhere over a month.

Do not recommend. My truck was in the shop for nearly 3 months the person who was handling my truck was a man named Richard and i was constantly calling to get updated because he would never call to update me and was being told that it would be ready next week and a week would go by and I'd ask again and i would be told that they needed another week and that went on for a few months. In the end the truck needed its fuel pump system to be replaced and i was charged almost 2 grand and that's including the "discounts" that were added.

If you go here stick to oil changes if not you'll be getting your vehicle back in a matter of months. Their excuse will always be " We spend time on your vehicle to make sure we don't make you spend any more than you need to and we saved you money by not doing this and that and etc. I'd rather be told upfront it's going to take months so i could've went somewhere else got the job done faster and cheaper then to be lied to by unqualified people.
