I called before I arrived and he was able to fit me into his schedule the same day. This is the only thing good about this experience besides his location being impeccable but his services being fruitful of arrogance. When I walked into his shop I had my mask on for safety precautions and obeying the law; Tad told me, "Ah you can take that off" and decided to discuss how he is not being played by the government. Tad looked at my motor and continued to rev up the motor and tell me I had a broken motor mount. He further went to say that this is what the problem is. Afterwards, he continued to downgrade me as a person for asking questions and trying to understand what he was talking about. Tad then decided his "computer" which was a SOLUS Ultra by Snap On could solve the problem. He stated, "If it works I will charge you $100 and if it doesn't I will charge you $50." I may not know much about a vehicle, but I do have common sense that a computer will not fix a "broken motor mount". Keep in mind I went to this guy over a transmission problem. Tad further discussed how I called him a liar for not believing this device would fix my car and that if I come back Monday it will cost $150 and Tuesday it would be $200. Tad was unpleasant, unprofessional and a disgrace to all mechanics. If you want to get ripped off, degraded, and be at the mercy of this guy then he is the right one for you. If you actually have ANY car problems TAD IS NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

After calling 12 different businesses, I was directed to call Tad's. He said he could repair an Allison Automatic transmission and had it towed directly to him. He immediately ordered the part and had it installed the next day. He also didn't have an issue with me staying in it while he repaired it, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone. He was extremely helpful in a time of need with such short notice. Thanks Tad!

My transmission completely blew while on vacation and had to extend our stay. We called around to local garages and were recommended to tow our car to AP Transmission for repair. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They took the time to explain what repairs were needed so we understand exactly what happened and what needed replaced. They provided a fair quote and didn't try to swindle more money given the situation and our need to get repaired quickly. They actually went out of their way to keep costs down without ever sacrificing the quality of the repair. They provided an accurate date of completion and kept us updated as they worked through the transmission rebuild. We were able to check out of our hotel and return the rental car as scheduled because of how well they communicated the timeline. We were able to drive the 10.5 hours back home without any issues. AP Transmissions even called the next day to make sure we arrived safely and were happy with their work. I can't say enough nice things about how impressed I am with this garage. They are very knowledgeable and genuinely good ,honest people. How they treated us says so much about their character and how they run their business. Although I don't wish anyone has the issues we did, I would absolutely recommend this garage if they do!
