Usually when you've come to the point that you're reading these reviews and are at a transmission repair shop, let's be frank, you're not in the best of moods, but let me assure you my friend you've come to the right place. If you are as lucky as I, you will be helped by a lovely woman named Janice, and rest assured, you're in good hands. I needed a transmission rebuild and through out what often is a hard experience I found peace and solace knowing that there is a friendly team inside with an abundance of experience and dedication. Janice if you see this I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, and a jolly new year ! May peace be yours in abundance, you deserve it !
