I’m so grateful to Xpress Auto Repair for helping me out! As a college student, needing a transmission replacement was stressful, but they worked with my budget and matched another company’s price. My transmission replacement was $2,500, including labor, with a one-year warranty covering the transmission and labor!
When they inspected my vehicle, they also found another part that needed replacing. They only charged me for the part itself and installed it with no additional labor charge, which made such a difference for me.
They were kind, understanding, and affordable, and I truly appreciate how much they helped me. They deserve all the business and support they can get! I highly recommend Xpress Auto Repair. Thank you again!
