General Transmission Repair is a family owned and operated business. In 1988, Mark and I lost everything we owned due to a fire in our rented house. We were thinking we'd just rent again, but were encouraged to buy a house, so we did. Since it was a period of new beginnings, we decided to start our own transmission repair company and run it out of the garage of our new home! A $10 box of business cards and a yellow pages ad started it all.

    We spent 6 years in Kent, then relocated the repair facility to Pacific Highway South, where we grew steadily for another 8 years, making new friends of our satisfied customers. One day, Mark (pictured above) saw a great deal on some commercial real estate so we grabbed it! The new expanded location is just off of I-5 at exit 149. We've been there for 2 years and just love facility. We have 9 lifts, and our crew runs 12 hours a day 5 days a week.

    Mark and I made a decision a long time ago, to be fair and honest with our customers because that's just how we like to be treated. It's made all the difference. Through ups and downs of owning a small business and raising 3 children, we've not only kept our heads above water, we feel we thrived here in the Pacific Northwest thanks to the generous support of our neighbors and clients. As a repayment to our community, we sponsor soccer teams, donate cars to worthy causes, and during the holidays I find time to put together donation baskets of food and other items for the needy.

    We'd like to thank you for visiting our site, and if you're a previous customer of ours, we'd like to say 'Thanks' twice! We really appreciate and value your business.
