Transmission Repair in Kelso, WA

“Shayne’s shop I would highly recommend, needed some maintenance work on my 2015 Cummins, Shayne’s performed all my maintenance needs and my truck ready for pick up the next day. I will use Shayne’s diesel when we visit the area again..”

“This is a slightly complicated review - if you don't want to read it all. My summary is - use ATS, you are in good hands.

1. I brought my old classic truck to ATS and had a 700r4 rebuilt and installed. Bryan went to great lengths to get my linkage going and I brought her home and put about 800 miles on it that summer.
2. Fast forward to the next season and I took it out for its first drive for the show season and I had no overdrive. I took it back to Bryan and he took care of it and covered it under warranty. Great experience. Put another 1000 miles on it!
3. The next winter I decided to swap the engine in the truck with an engine I bought used. Getting it back on the road I heard a horrible noise, because of the location of the sound, I assumed it was the transmission. Bryan had it towed up to them to get it checked out. Turns out the lower end has bad bearings and the noise was the lower end sliding back and rubbing against the starter bendix. So I took the truck home and pondered my options.
4. I ordered a BluePrint stroker motor through Summit and turns out I ordered the wrong tooth torque converter. Through a comedy of my own errors, Bryan helped me navigate the issue, got the new torque converter installed and I am no happily cruising my truck around!

I just have to say - Kelly and Bryan could quite easily be irritated with the amount of effort they've had to put in to my particular truck and issues. HOWEVER. They've been terribly gracious and always take great care of me. I can whole heartedly recommend you use them with confidence. Bryan stands behind his work. Kelly is great to work with.

Thank you ATS team for all of your help the last couple years! You'll be my first call on my next build!”

“Thomas got my truck in and had my flex plate replaced in one day and when I had some complications with my transmission and couldn’t bring my truck to their shop, they went out of their way to come to me and got my truck back on the road.”

“I had an outstanding experience with Bob’s Lil Car Hospital. I brought my vehicle in for a general check-up, oil change, transmission flush, new spark plug wire coils, and a sensor replacement. From start to finish, the service was top-tier.

The communication truly set them apart. Their client portal made everything simple and transparent, allowing me to review each recommended service and easily “approve” or “decline” anything before they moved forward. It gave me complete confidence in the work being done.

Every interaction felt professional, friendly, and honest. The team walked me through what my vehicle needed without any pressure, and the quality of the work shows. This feels like the beginning of a great long-term relationship with a shop I can trust.

I highly recommend Bob’s Lil Car Hospital to anyone looking for reliable, straightforward automotive care. They have definitely earned my business going forward.”
