If you're looking for an honest, reliable, and good shop, then Van Linns is the place. Long story. Took my car to another shop for a Trans leak. The other shop was supposed to do a few things to diagnose the issue, and either they didn't or they were trying to get some money out of me. I was told I needed a whole new transmission. I just bought this car. 6,000$ car, and they wanted me to drop 5,300$ for a new transmission. This was extremelyupsettingto hear. I hadn't had the car for even a week. I even contacted the person I bought the car from and was upset at them for selling me a junk car.
I brought it to Van Linns. Best decision ever. They are WOUNDERFUL! They now have a lifetime customer. Dropped my car off over the weekend. They got it in Tuesday, Dave called me, he explained every single thing to me. He made sure I understood everything that needed to be done and why. He called to make sure I knew that my rims were painted, and removing the tire to patch the hole might mess it up. Totally fine with me. Last thing I was worried about. He made sure I was aware that I need a specific "key" to remove my tires. He told me he didn't want me to end up with a flat and not have that piece I needed. My car was ready Thursday, and It wound up just needing a new bushing and some seals. The first shop I brought it to was trying to screw me over and had me devastated and feeling like an idiot for buying a car with a bad transmission. Van Linns did a few other things, and I wound up only having to pay a little over 900$ to fix it. When he told me that, I started crying. I was so happy. Thank you Dave!
I know this car is going to need a few more things done in the near future, I will be going back to Van Linns.

They got me in quickly and were able to diagnose the failed piston ring. The price for the diagnostic testing was reasonable.

This is a great place to take your vehicle. They're honest & upfront (as a female who knows cars, I appreciate this greatly; I'm used to having repair shops try to fleece me). Reasonable prices & quality work. Definitely recommend!

I had transmission issues with my truck and Dave could not have been more professional from the initial call to the photos sent to the explanation of his findings. Then Dave gave an explanation in terms i could understand related to the cost associated. The price given was in line and actually less than a GM Dealer gave me as a budget price. As much as we all dislike putting money into our vehicles, I could not be happier how this major repair has been handled thus far. Repair is in the works and I have all the confidence it will be done as promised. Thanks Dave and the team at Van Linn's.Service: Transmission

Took my Toyota FJ to a shop near me because the auto shifter had some extra play in it. Was called back and told it was the transmission and was quoted $5900 for a used and $7500 for new. They said they weren't sure until they got in there? That was a red flag that they never opened it up to check it out. I also had driven a vehicle where the transmission went out and I couldn't go above 45 mph and the FJ was able to be drive at low and hwy speeds without issue. I told them I didn't want gheir repair and went looking for a second opinion. I took it to Van Linns and was working with Dave. Dave agreed it was suspicious and looked into my shifter issue. He found the shifter assembly needed replacement and a transmission temp harness needed replacement. All in all $1500. Dave even explained the printouts that showed how the temp sensor worked.It was a relief to work with such a friendly honest shop.I highly recommend them.

Customer service is very good! Everything was explained very well including what we need to do at a certain mileage. The waiting room had a kind of stronger smell of car fluids, so next time we will drop it off and come back for pickup. We will definitely return.
