Xpress Auto Repair & Transmissions in
Burien (WA)

I no longer trust Lexus as they will recommend as many repairs as possible even though they may be unnecessary. I trust Transmission Xpress and plan to go to them going forward.

Really thankful for the team at Xpress Auto Repair & Transmission. Got me in next morning after calling in about a coolant line leak issue. They fixed an issue that we previously had work done on by someone else. Reasonable price on work completed! Will return for future maintenance and repair work.

Nice guys, very professional. But the labor costs are astronomically high compared to most auto repair shops. Called for a quote on rear brakes (pads/rotors). Was quoted around $400. When I got there was told the calliper would possibly need changing which I knew it would likely be the case. Total parts came out to $450. Labor was a little over $700 which is pretty steep. Overall, good customer service; very professional and nice folks. But the labor costs are way too high.

Nice!!! I enjoyed meeting Montana, one of the shop's owners. He seemed like a really nice and honest person, which is why I decided to go forward with using these guys. I have a nice Mercedes AMG, a "real" one, not just one with a badge. The dealer quoted me $1899 for a transmission flush and fill. I saved more than $1K by having Xpress do it. It wasn't a repair, just mainteneance, but necessary maintenance for my car. I took a chance and these guys came through with flying colors. Thanks Montana! If I need service again I'll definitely reach out to you.

Good service. Professional and honest. My car had been in an accident. They checked it thoroughly and advised because of the nature of and location of the damage it would be better to have the body shop do the mechanical repairs too.

My transmission was slipping, took it to Xpress auto and ever since, my transmission has been wonderful. Montana is patient and a polite owner. He is a master at his craft!!

Could be the best car shop around if I need something fixed my car is going here , this shop is awesome the service here is sweet. Thank You #love your so way cool.

Great place for trusted transmission and other vehicle maintenance. Knowledgeable technicians and the owner who knows his craft. Just wish they had more parking but not a deal breaker

I have been waiting to write my review until I could report I have had ZERO issues since having my car serviced here (thank you Montana!) I recently had a transmission flush out of state as I was traveling around the country. Shortly after coming back to WA I started having issues with my transmission slipping and burning on my 2023 4Runner. The cliche "I'm a female and was nervous about taking it to a mechanic" feeling kicked in, but after reading reviews on this place, I decided to give it a go. They had my car for 2 days trying to figure out what was the cause of the slipping, and finally found my transmission fluid was filled 1/3 of the way full. A simple top off fixed it and I haven't had any problems with slipping and burning since (I even drove it through the mountain pass to Leavenworth). Montana took amazing care of me and my SUV. I felt comfortable and 100% trust his, and any future services I will receive from here. No swindling and complete honesty! I have already been giving verbal recommendations! Thank you Montana and Xpress Auto Repair & Transmissions!!!

Montana and his team have been great. Thanks for the trustworthy service and fair pricing. I have a 1996 XJS and I feel very confident leaving my car with his team.

This place only does oil changes for Range Rovers anything else I have to find another place, as for my Chevy Tahoe they have worked on it and have done a descent job with reasonable price. They are pretty busy so don't expect same day service and expect your car to stay there for a few days even for an inspection with no work done on it but at no cost which is fine. I recommend having other options to go get your car service and call before dropping off because like I mentioned this place is always busy.

Don’t you love it when you call an auto repair shop and an actual mechanic answers the phone so you can get straight to business? (Even better was that this was the owner, Montana). Montana answered my questions, gave me insight based on the described symptoms and likely solutions including what the job would entail, parts, price and work time. Other mechanics I called just wanted me to bring it in and didn’t want to entertain any hypotheticals. I had a pretty good idea of what the issue was but M added something for me to consider that wasn’t on my radar, and that ended up being the actual issue. He always called me back when he said he would. He was really patient with me when I changed my mind about which avenue to pursue on the repair (twice—sorry Montana), and when the time finally came he finished the work a day early! Super pleasant experience overall. It’s an anxious time when the car needs special treatment and driving mine home knowing everything is fine gave me that good feeling I’m still enjoying as I write this. The price was less than I was expecting to pay as well. I’m glad I found this place but hopefully I won’t need his services anytime soon ha

The clutch repair I had done was very thorough and satisfactory. Completed in a timely manner at an affordable price. I would highly recommend this company and I will use them with my future service issues. Mike McL.

My timing belt/chain broke on the way to work. I was able to have my GMC Terrain towed to Xpress Auto the next day. They got everything fixed in a little over a week. When I came to pick up my vehicle the mechanic brought me the box of old parts and explained exactly what had happened. My SUV is now running great. I’m very happy with the service and will be back next time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review – Xpress Auto Repair** From the moment I stepped in to make my appointment to the day of service, Xpress Auto Repair provided exceptional care. I’ll be honest—I was hesitant about having my transmission serviced, especially after hearing there was a leak. But Montana made the entire experience worth every penny and even made me feel like I’d found my new go-to mechanic. Because of some family emergencies, I almost cancelled my appointment, but I’m so glad I didn’t. On the day of service, my ride cancelled after I dropped off my car. Montana understood, and without hesitation, helped me get closer to home. The repair work itself was simple, but it was done efficiently and on time. I left completely satisfied with the quality. What really stood out, though, was the genuine connection. While picking up my vehicle, I joined a conversation between Montana and another customer. We shared encouragement, laughter, and even a reminder that “trouble doesn’t last always.” They both wished me a happy birthday and encouraged me to keep moving forward—Montana even gives the best hugs! I truly appreciate not just the excellent service but also the friendship that was formed. It feels like it was meant for me to bring my business to Xpress Auto Repair, and I’m blessed they took their time with me. Thank you, Montana, for making this more than just a car repair—it was a reminder of kindness, community, and care.

Needed to get my breaks done. Overall the experience was great, and customer service was very helpful and clear about the pricing and the time frame for working on my car. I highly recommend checking out this auto shop. I would go back for repairs on my car.

I did a quick search to find out where to take my car and these guys came up with great recommendations. After they did the diagnostics, I needed a new water pump. They were timely and efficient. I even spoke to two guys who have been driving their company trucks all the way from North Seattle to this shop because they told me it is the best around for transmission work. I will be going back for any repairs (hopefully I won't need them!)

We had amazing service at Express Transmission. We were currently on a roadtrip and couldn't get our car into any other shop for that day. We were so grateful that Express took us in and found the problem within a couple hours and fixed it within that day to let us get on the road to our next destination. The owner was very kind and understanding of our situation! Would definitely recommend Express Transmission to anyone needing a quick, easy, painless, auto shop experience! Thank you so much for such great service!

I messed up my transmission almost a year ago, Montana was super helpful and communicative in the process of getting it fixed. We really appreciate the care the shop put into fixing my car, it's still running great! Thanks again y'all!

My appointment at Xpress Auto Repair & Transmissions was on 5/13/25. Montana repaired an axle and changed the oil on my Camry. The work was done quickly and professionally. The estimated price was the cost. I paid, which was a lot less expensive than the dealer. I will return for more auto care when necessary. Great company.

Montana and the team at Xpress Auto Repair & Transmissions were the right solution at the right time! The transmission in our Granddaughter's car started slipping. Took the car to another shop who properly diagnosed the issue but wanted to replace v repair. Crazy $$$ dollars! Called Montana, who was familiar with the make and model year, and instantly knew the issue. Got us in and repaired the tranny for 1/3 the price with a 18k/18 mo warranty! Thank you, Montana and team! Highly recommend and will absolutely use again!

Quick, friendly and reliable service! Had an issue with my car making noises last week and brought it to Montana. He found that when Honda of Tacoma replaced my transmission, they did an half hearted job and there was a lot of loose and missing bolts. He quickly fixed it and made the car safer to drive!

My Dodge 2010 1500 Ram rear axle needed to be rebuilt, and my local Dodge dealership didn't have the parts. So I took my truck to XPRESS AUT0 REPAIR and got my truck rear axle rebuilt in two weeks. Montana did a really good job. My truck runs like new. They are honest, knowledgeable, and get the job done quickly. Thank you, Montana.

I did had a amazing experience at transmission express quality and best customer service . They did make sure everything was 100% Before went and pick up my truck and I have to come back in a month so they can check and make sure there’s no issues . 100 % recommended this place

Montana proved himself very straightforward and transparent. He gave me a detailed list of what my vehicle required, critical to convenient, and never haggled with me when I made my choices. He explained the prices and gave me less expensive alternatives to keep it honest. No unnecessary R&R's, no runarounds, no condescension, just great maintenance and relaxed and respectful attitude. I won't say it was cheap, but you get what you pay for with this crew, and it was worth the cost to feel confident in my vehicle again. I would gladly return give these guys my business again!

Great place! Had my transmission serviced there, and it was quick and reasonable. Montana is always there to answer questions and explain things in detail. They changed the oil for me too (I had just had it changed less than a week prior) because it was super dirty, due to the fact that the person who changed it previously for me, used a pump to drain the oil rather than drain it out from below, leaving dirty oil behind. If Xpress hadn’t checked the oil, I’d have been driving around with filthy oil, thinking it was all good for the next several months! Thanks Montana, and your team for super service!

Absolutely fantastic experience at transmission xpress. Montana and his crew are amazing. I needed new wheel bearings, and other shops had quoted me outrageous prices. Xpress did the work at 1/2 the price, and so far I am very pleased with the workmanship. I would recommended them to anyone for quality work, a fair price, and timely service. Thanks Montana!
