Everyone at Atomic was super helpful and I will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you for the service & accommodations for pick up!
Rob in there is a WIZARD. He gave me the perfect quote to get my E60 N54 powered BMW to the right place for racing standards on the transmission side of things. Cant wait to see you guys in action!
I called and talked to Ed about my transmission. He reminded me that Hyundai has a 10-year 100,000 mile warranty and that the service would be covered by the dealer. Thanks for thinking of your customers’ best interest and saving me some money!
Ive been using atomic since 2004, always honest about repairs and less expensive than the dealer. Definitely recommend them.
Knowledgeable and friendly guys. Fixed trans issue same day. Now I have a trans place.
I have always gone for service for almost 50 years but recently went in thinking it was a trans problem. They test drove and accurately diagnosed a brake issue. They are honest and knowledgeable.
Atomic Transmission does excellent work and their prices are reasonable 👏 - everyone was friendly and amazing! Thank you Frank, Ed, Bob, Steve and of course Rob! Congratulations on your 10day old twins 😇
Excellent work. Going there for many years.
Simply the best transmission repair company ever! The guys at atomic have taken care of our fleet for over 35 years! Great value, great communication, just plain ole great service!
I have to say, very clean and friendly service thanks. My friend told me take my truck here, the manager showed me around the shop I talk with the Mechanic. All up to date equipment. Fast service good fair prices. thanks guysJohn Evans
Ed made a great suggestion that saved me lots of money. My sister had some work done on her vehicle here too. I highly recommend this professional establishment. Thanks for your help!
They road tested the car and advised that the issue was temp sensor related and minor enough to just monitor. Fair and honest. Couldnt ask for more!
Honest Reasonable Honest Did job right Honest
VERY helpful and Honest. Robert did an amazing job explaining my options, and was EXTREMELY patient with my questions.

Thje only trans shop for me. They are honest and fair.very good technicians.
This the best transmission shop frank and ed serve you and your vehicle you wont find better
Good people frank Robert great people
The guys at Atomic were great.Did a Great Job on my Sons Jeep!
Top notch service! Highly Recommended if you want best and most honest reputable reliable service. Frank, the owner is just spot on with all his diagnosis of all our auto problems and affordable quality work. He truly treats everyone with great kindness and honesty. They have been keeping my family and our cars safe and running great. We have been coming here for years. He truly treats everyone with great kindness and honesty. Recently, I was at the dealer to fix a recall on my airbag and while I was at dealer they gave me this long expensive list of other problems they found. They made it sound like I would not even make it home. I took my chances and drove home. I called Frank at Atomic and he was very nice and told me to bring it in. He and his guys looked over my car and said everything was fine and sent me on my way. Thats what I mean about being so honest! He is like that to everyone when Im in the waiting area I here Frank talk to the customers with the same genuinely honest manner. Let me tell you its really so wonderful there are such honest and hardworking people like Frank Thank you Frank your the best!!!
Best transmission place in the midwest.
Great work extremely happy with them. Rebuild a couple trans in our old company box trucks
Great business, Frank the owner is the best. You wont find a better transmission shop anywhere. Quick, efficient, great pricing.
I came here a few months ago and had the absolute best experience! Everyone was so nice, patient and helped me fix my Ford in no time. Not only are they extremely reasonable, they care and even show you where the problem is and how they will fix it. I will always recommend Atomic to anyone that needs something done to their car. Great place and never going anywhere else.
Excellent service and work. Highly recommend.
Great service.
I brought my 2006 Santa Fe here about 5 years ago because it wouldnt pass emissions and knew that it was a sensor issue. They had it for 5 or 6 days. When I got the vehicle back it immediately had alternator problems. Took it back and they fixed that but my brakes were never the same. I told them about that problem and claimed they never touched my brakes. I took it to another place and found that it had problems with the bearings. Never again! I do believe that they were just creating more problems with my vehicle in the hopes that I would keep coming back to them. Maybe taking advantage of me because Im a single woman? Beware!!!
I had an engine misfire with no code and it was effecting the trans shift points when I took it to a local shop no one seemed to understand how to diagnose it or they were just plain mean then I thought call Atomic. Frank and ed do the best diagnosing they diagnosed it perfectly this is an honest and professional. business i highly recommend them
Atomic is the best. I have been taking my trucks and cars there since Frank and Mike were across the street back in the 90s. No matter what the job gets done correctly and timely. Frank the owner always takes us the customer as a priority. He is usually the lower price around as well.
Took my lexus to have transmission rebuilt although I had to take it back twice they made every effort to get the car fixed and even towed it from my house for free and dropped off the vehicle to my door step great customer service
Was quoted $2800.00 by King Transmission In Elmhurst..brought it to Atomic they repaired for less than half of that amount and it runs like a new car..fixed in one day..great people to do business with.. would highly recommend to all my family and friends.
Atomic has always been fair priced with Outstanding service.
I have only had great service on my vehicles Frank, Robert, Bob have been very professional and very nice to me and very reasonably priced repairs. I would give these guys 3 thumps up and would refer them to anyone. Great Job Guys!!!
I had the transmission in my 2007 Accord V6 rebuilt here in April of 2018. The guys are great in explaining everything to you. They even let me walk onto the shop floor to inspect the work in person. The trans had a leak by the transmission warmer on top, but was promptly fixed when I took it back to the shop days later. I want to give a shoutout to Robert for really taking care of me. These guys know what they are doing!!
Honest service. Great people to work with. Super fast and dependable
I’ve used them in the past for transmission rebuilds and they were excellent to deal with and reasonable. Just took in another car for some rotational noise concerns and they diagnosed it and confirmed my suspicion of the tires being loud. Free of charge! Will definitely be back.
Atomic transmissions is a great place to get transmission work done. The staff is very patient and explained the problem in great detail. They have repaired 2 of my vehicles .- My 2007 VW Beetle was having automatic transmission shifting problems due to the transmission fluid getting too hot in July 2019 of this year. The transmission cooler was replaced after diagnosing the problem. The cooler attaches to the top of the automatic transmission in the VW Beetle. I asked the service writer to have the technician drive the car home and back to verify the repair since it was somewhat intermittent. Atomic had one of their technicians drive the car home and back to verify the repair . Vehicle shifts properly now :) .- Five years prior to this my 2005 Dodge grand caravan needed a new torque converter to correct the shudder problem. The torque converter was rebuilt in house right next to the transmission shop. This dodge was fixed about 5-6 years ago.- I think the people that are giving Atomic Transmissions bad reviews are not aware of the complex electrical systems and complex automatic transmissions that modern cars have. I was a dealer mechanic many years ago and retired from the dealership repair business.Nick S. Hoffman Estates, IL
Excellent honest service!!! Would recommend them to anyone. They had more then fair prices and great customer service.
Atomic is great!! They identified the problem then they reached out to the dealership to see if the problem was under warranty. And it was. This shows me they are thinking about the customer versus versus only how to make more money. I would highly recommend them.
Not gonna find any place better!
A suburban institution.Quality work guaranteed.Helpful staff.Prices are usually around 10% lower than the competition..
Good place
I cannot recommend this place enough. I took my car to an auto shop last night and was told it would be $2500 for them to take the transmission out of my car and have someone else rebuild it. To get a second opinion, I took my car this morning to Atomic. Although I had asked the other shop the night before if there was a possibility I was under warranty and was told no, Atomic took it upon themselves to call the dealership once they figured out I needed a rebuild. They called me in after spending 45 min on my car to tell me that I was under warranty and should take it to the dealership. They gave me all the information, the person they set me up with at the dealership and sent me on my way. They didnt ask for a dime and could have easily made $2500 on me! Honest people are hard to come by, but these guys sure restored my faith in humanity today!
Cant say enough about Frank and the guys over at Atomic. Frank is ALWAYS up front and not BS. I have had many transmissions (race and street) done by them and I am always satisfied with the end result. They have been around 30 plus years for a reason!Thanks Frank!Kurt @ Hemispheres Amusements
Awesome. A professional trans shop. Fair pricing, no gimmicks and a straight up approach. Frank knows his business. A great history of a shop...
I had a less than ideal experience at first, but when owner Frank returned after the holidays and learned of my disappointment, he called me personally and asked what my concerns were. He listened and addressed them to my great satisfaction. This is, as it always has been, the best customer service experience Ive ever encountered.Please disregard the hasty review I left as MR ASE. I was unable to edit or delete it.
Frank and Tony and his crew provide great service! I was recommended to Atomic by a friend who said they would be fair and complete. It turns out he was right! At no charge, they took my car overnight to try and find an obscure issue that n one else had been able to find. The issue of course did not show itself then, so I left with the car the next day and got a couple of miles down the road when it happened. I called them, they said bring it right back- I came back and they took it out again and found the issue. We are at this point deciding our options, but they were complete and offered all the possibilities and gave some information helpful to us in deciding. I would definitely come here again!
Customers beware this place is a joke They had my 2007 Cadillac Escalade for 60 days when they return the vehicle to me it was in worse condition than when I dropped it off I told them I had an oil leak under the truck they kept running the truck anyways the oil leaks on the muffler made the whole interior of the truck smells like straight burnt or oil I told them that my transmission has been rebuilt by somebody else they said the transmission is fine there is an electrical problem they looked at it for 30 days they had Cadillacs technicians out looking at it they claim. they gave me back the vehicle the transmission was slipping even more than when I dropped it off and they charge me $160 to get my vehicle back from them when they didn’t fix anything they made the matter worse careful if you bring your truck to these people they really don’t care about you all they care about is their $160 they don’t care if your vehicle is in worse condition than when you dropped it off.
One of the best Old School original businesses still around. Honest, fair and great personal service. None of the new Big Box, corporate BS.
Fantastic shop. Very fair and reasonable.
My 2010 Mustang came factory equipped with automatic transmission. After owning it for 8 yrs. I wished it had a manual transmission. I recently inquired if they could do a 5 speed manual conversion. I was skeptical at first not sure how the car would respond to such a project. Picked up the car today. Couldnt be more happier how the car shifts and drives. All OEM parts were added to give it the factory look. You would never know it was originally an automatic car!THANK YOU!! Robert & Your Team of Experts!!
These guys are so fast and professional. They helped me with my truck on the fly. The bill was fair and service excellent and fast....strongly recommend
Great place.. they know there stuff.
Price and quality
You will not find a better transmission shop anywhere. The service and prices are the best anywhere around.
Great jobFast serviceVery high qualityFair prices
Great service and great pricing
Great place to get automotive work done!
Great service, fair prices.
Bad experience with Duke & Lees Towing who outsourced a transmission rebuild build to Atomic. After 7 months of the initial rebuild, the trans blew. Of course the warranty was for 6 months.I cant point the finger at Atomic for bad service or repair since D&L was involved with the removal/install, and diagnosis/ repair during this 3 week process too.Since both companies were involved with this one job, I must rate both low. See the review for Duke and Lees Towing for more info. Shop around, save all receipts and warranties, and do your due diligence.
Frank & team were super busy but still made time for my repair. We had taken our car elsewhere for price quotes, but Atomic was best. Thanks!
Great service A+
They always deliver best turn around service. Frank has always helped us fast&fair.
Took my wifes car there for a new transmission, they did the work quickly and for a very reasonable price, since I was on a budget. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Best shop in the area..Awesome Costumer Service.
Fixed my truck right up
Great work on my mustang diff.
They do great work fast and affordable + they have a in house tow truck service!
This is the best transmission shop in Illinois hands down
Great and friendly service, Piotr K.
Ive been using these guys since I got my first car. They never disappoint.
They are very friendly and did great work, i did not have enuff to pay because im sick and need my car they took what i had and waited for rest of payment and gave me my car they are very careing and i will go again if i need work in future they are great people
Had brought my car there 2 years ago and they rebuilt my transmission. Since that time I have had my car there 2 other times and now over the weekend my transmission went again. The second time they charged me $250.00 and the car was still under warranty. The third time the car was 11 days out of warranty and they wanted to charge me to fix my car. After countless times going back and forth they did fix my car at no cost but now my transmission went AGAIN and i will NOT be bringing my car back there for the fourth time
Only place I go for my cars and Frank is just a great guy. Entire staff is friendly and answers all my questions.
Great value as far as transmission shops go, with staff that is upfront and knowledgeable.
Helped my band out of a huge bind when we were on tour. Fast, efficient and great people.
