My wife's car was not hardly driving at all. It wold shift hard. chunk when going from drive to reverse and run in neutral. While going down the freeway it would kick out of overdrive. Took it to affordable transmission in Kuna. Got a call later that day with the test results. It was not the transmission but the shift assembly. They checked the whole car at my request to see if we could improve the mph and performance. The work was done and ready to pick up on Friday, (I took it in on Wednesday), and it now runs better then it ever has. Most importantly the price was right. While picking up her car I dropped my truck off to have the check engine light looked at. Again great service that was fast and very reasonably priced. KUDOS TO THIS SHOP FOR THE EXCELLENT WORK

We needed a new transmission for our Ford Explorer, Affordable Transmission in Kuna did a great job! They were true to their quoted price, kept me informed and completed it as promised. They have great customer service and are very professional. They actually care about the customer which I found to be amazing!

I will never take a vehicle to Affordable Transmission again and I encourage you to stay away. In October 2013 I had them replace the clutch, flywheel, etc., in my chevy 1500 pickup. Within a couple months I had a pretty rough vibration when the rpms could go above 2000, in other words normal driving. It also felt like the clutch was not engaging / disengaging quite right. After ruling out a few things I asked Affordable Transmission to take a look at it. They inspected it and told me the clutch was fine and that I had some kind of engine problem causing the vibration and roughness. I spent the next several months trying to solve this problem by doing a full tune up, change air filter, fuel filter, etc. I had the exhaust system tested and it was fine. I finally had to pay a shop to diagnose the issue. The conclusion they reached was a badly out of balance flywheel. It took some convincing, but Affordable Transmission agreed to look at it again and eventually, after they had the pickup for almost three weeks, they replaced the flywheel. The communication was horrible, I had to call them almost every day during that time just to keep getting the same answer, "we will try to fit it in tomorrow". "fit it in"? You guys screwed up. Take care of it!! But, the fun does not stop there. After getting the pickup back home I immediately noticed a puddle of tranny fluid under the pickup. I had enough of Affordable Transmission so I paid someone else to fix their issues. It turned out the tranny, which was not leaking at all before Affordable Transmission, was now leaking in three places. They had broken the gasket between the tranny and the transfer case. The backup light sensor was now broken and leaking. But, the best of all, there was NO gasket between the tranny and the shift lever plate on top of tranny, and the plate was only bolted down hand tight!! I could have been driving and had the lever come right out in my hand!! One other thing they screwed up was the tranny mount was not tightened up sufficiently and was needing replaced (which they did not inform me). The mechanic who fixed all of these issues said it was the most negligent transmission work he had ever encountered. It was clear that Affordable Transmission was unhappy about replacing the flywheel on their dime and just wanted to get my truck the hell out of their shop. Their crappy work cost me months of not feeling comfortable driving my truck out of town or pulling my tent camper, about three weeks with nothing to drive, and several hundred dollars and time to fix their negligence.

My Chevy Avalanche was in need of a complete overhaul. They were honest and accommodating to my sense of urgency for a family matter. I would recommend this transmission repair center to anyone in Kuna or the Treasure Valley of Idaho. They represent the epitome of great customer service, affordable repair in a timely manor.

This is the only place I trust to take my vehicle. For years I did most of my own repairs but lately just don't have the time or patience to do it. Keith is always fair and right on with the diagnosis and the quote. Most of the repairs have actually come in under his estimate. In fact one time they took my vehicle for a day or two trying to get a intermittent problem to occur and when it didn't happen I was charged nothing despite all the time they took trying to get the problem to occur. I even took it to a Ford dealership the next time the problem occurred and they couldn't find the problem after having the vehicle for a full week but I was defiantly charged for that and they tried to up sell a break job and oil change while they were at it. Never again, from now on it's Affordable Transmission only!

I have had my car, boyfriend's car, and several friend's cars in here and always loved the honesty coming from the mechanics. His aunt had her car in for a squeaking belt that turned out to be a leaking water pump. They called her and told her it was still under warranty, the warranty would cover it and didn't want to have her pay for something she was covered for. Another friend had an engine blow up a few months after they fixed warped heads. They could not find an engine for it as it was way too old. Not only did they not charge her to check it out again, they refunded her payments from the previous repair and said they did not feel right charging her. These guys are great and will definitely tell you what is actually wrong. Dealerships have quoted $1100 to fix "evaps leaks" and these guys fixed it with hose and some clamps for $200. Not only would I recommend but highly suggest them.

My sons truck has needed a clutch for months now and i did not have the money to pay for it. $800 was the going rate according to Boise Clutch and a number of other places. I had one offer by a backyard moonlighter on craigslist for $600 but I was nervous about the quality i would get. I described the problem to Affordable Trans Repair in Kuna and they said they could discount the job to $700 (total out the door) and have it done the same day. They would include a machined flywheel and OEM heavy duty clutch (no cheap parts). They kept their word and so far so good. I have had the truck back for a couple weeks and the clutch is working as it should. They even warned me of a possible problem in the future with the slave assembly which could go bad due to the higher pressures of a new clutch. They said since my slave is mounted outside and is easy to change that i should not worry unless a problem occurs. Thank you so much for the discount and quality service. I am going back for some brake repair soon.
