About the shop
Owned by an ASE Master Technician, not a franchise.
Transmissions 4 Less is a Chicago transmission and auto repair shop managed by a certified ASE Master Technician and Advanced Level Specialist with over 25 years of experience serving customers nationwide. We repair domestic and foreign vehicles, including high-performance and custom applications — automatic transmissions, CVT transmissions, manual transmissions, transfer cases, axles, and emissions-related diagnostic codes.
Credentials on file
Certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence
These are the shop's own ASE and MACS certifications, issued to owner Salim N. Safran — the technician who works on your vehicle.
Background
Mobile A/C & refrigerant certified, too.
Beyond engine and transmission work, our certifications include CFC-12 refrigerant recycling and service procedures through the Mobile Air Conditioning Society Worldwide, as required by Section 609 of the Clean Air Act — meaning your A/C work is handled to federal environmental standards, not just "topped off."
How we work
Straight diagnosis. No surprise invoices.
1. Diagnose
We pull the codes, inspect the system, and tell you plainly what's wrong — no upselling, no guesswork.
2. Quote
You'll see the cost before any work starts. We accept financing and aftermarket repair insurance.
3. Repair
Work is done by a certified Master Technician, not handed off to whoever's free.
