There are a number of ways you can learn if a repair shop is trustworthy or not. One way is to ask for references from people who have been there before. Another is to check with your local consumer protection agency, to see whether they have any records of misconduct by the shop. In the case of a transmission shop, you can also ask for recommendations from your general repair shop: They’ll usually know a nearby transmission shop they can recommend. But one of the best ways to make sure you’re trusting the right shop with your transmission repairs is to take your car to an ATRA-member repair center. Because the ATRA logo is the symbol of excellence and professionalism in the transmission repair industry.

ATRA members are required to maintain an ethical standard unsurpassed in any service industry. These standards require ATRA members to provide honest diagnoses and repairs at a fair price. And ATRA backs that up by providing an arbitration process, to assure you of the highest level of ethical treatment. What’s more, when you have your transmission repaired in an ATRA-member repair center, your repairs are eligible for protection under ATRA?s ?Golden Rule? warranty. With this warranty protection, your transmission is covered for up to two years or 24,000 miles from the original repair, at any participating ATRA-member repair center, anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. And ATRA has nearly 2000 members, coast to coast, over three times the number of centers in the next largest organization.

So wherever you go, anywhere in the U.S. or Canada, there’s an ATRA-member repair center nearby. (It’s always important to understand the details of any warranty. Ask your local ATRA member to explain the specific conditions of this warranty program and how it applies to the work you need on your automatic transmission.)
