Update

Recently I have seen muffler and brake facilities starting to advertise transmission repair service.  This is absolutely HILARIOUS!  Today's transmissions are extremely hi-tech and very complicated.  Taking your car to a muffler shop to get your transmission repaired is like going to a plumber for brain surgery!!  I can't stop laughing!! 

Here's the deal:  If you need transmission repair, you have only three options:

1) Install a factory-remanufactured unit from a dealer, which is usually cost prohibitive, or -

2) Roll the dice and get one from a junk/salvage yard.  Many vehicles are front wheel drive and require an extensive amount of work just to remove and reinstall the transmission.  That fee generally runs around $500, but can go higher depending upon the make and model of vehicle.  If the junk yard unit fails, you are back to "square-one" and you will be charged again to remove and install another unit.  You certainly won't be "saving" any money that way, or -

3) Have me rebuild the unit using high-quality parts and aftermarket shift-improvement kits that recalibrate the valve body to clean up the sloppy factory shifts and greatly increase the life of the unit over the factory remanufactured units.

If you feel that your transmission does need repair, stop in and I will gladly show you some shift-kit
papers, that show what these aftermarket kits will do for your transmission.  You will FEEL THE QUALITY, and KNOW that the job was done to perfection!  Also keep in mind that my facility has ZERO failures on repairs, and I have seen my rebuilds last in excess of 12 years without any runs, drips, or errors.

So here's the bottom line:  Visit my vehicle service section and service your vehicle accordingly.  Nearly every transmission job that comes into my shop is a result of the transmission never being serviced,
NOT EVEN ONCE!  That's NOT going to cut it if you want your vehicle to last.  Regular servicing of your transmission will greatly increase its lifespan, but be warned about shortcuts that some shops take in order to increase their bottom line, at the expense of YOUR valued investment.  For example, NEVER have your Transmission "flushed!"  Flushing a transmission requires a machine that supposedly removes all of your fluid.  This procedure is a LAZY method of changing the fluid in your transmission.  When an inferior shop hooks that flushing machine to your transmission, they are NOT taking the pan down and changing the filter!!  How stupid does that sound?  I can't tell you how many transmissions I have rebuilt within weeks of the owner having it "flushed."  That is like changing the oil in your engine and not changing the filter.  Then they generally pump regular Dexron fluid back into the transmission, and nearly ALL Automatics these days REQUIRE THEIR OWN SPECIAL FLUID!!!  Introducing the improper fluid into the transmission WILL result in Transmission failure!

So, you can pick up the phone and call every single shop in the state of Florida.  Call Alaska...  Call Haiti...  Call Cuba....  Call Mexico...  Call Antarctica or Ecuador.  Call ANY shop you want to call!  When you're ready for all the correct answers and results, call 813-964-0852 and be done with it.  Be sure to send the link to this website to everyone you know.  You will be doing them a big favor...
