Dodge Transmissions

Firstly, Dodge has been around sense before most of us were born. Many of the Dodge vehicles in the United States are part of the family. Afterall we spend a lot of time in our vehicles driving everywhere! Therefore, when our Dodge transmission stops working properly, it can be extremely frustrating!

Secondly, now that your Dodge transmission has stopped working properly, we are forced to find a transmission shop that can be trusted with a family member! Ask yourself this, am I willing to trust my family members with my Dodge? Then why should you trust any shop, or transmission shop with your Dodge transmission repair, or Dodge transmission rebuild!

Now you may ask, how do I choose a shop, or transmission shop to take care of my Dodge transmission repair, or transmission rebuild? After all, you are probably not in this position on a regular basis! We at Advance Transmissions would like to offer some tips on how to pick a transmission shop. Now keep in mind this is meant to be a guide, or friendly advice, and in the end the choice of transmission shop is ultimately up to you!

Keep in mind that we are an auto repair shop in St. Charles, MO, not a manufacturer, and we cannot ship parts to other stores. But we are always happy to serve you if you would like to visit us!
