Customer Stories: Hear What Our Customers Say
My son's car needed a new alternator, and I did not have the time to do it, My wife looked around for shops to do the work. She saw some good reviews for Trana's, and we decided to take a chance. Best decision we made for car repair. I do recommend Trana's, but also realize that with such an outstanding service offering, business will grow fast. So, just keep that in mind.

My brother has been going to Trana's for years so based on that I trusted Mike immediately. So when my daughter's car started making a horrid noise we took it to Mike. Mike listened to the car, popped the hood and knew what the problem was just like that! We made an appointment, the car got fixed and no hidden issues popped up. Mike is an honest mechanic who does not pad the repair bill.
