Listed for drivers in and around South Hill, WA, these 24 shops work on transmissions. What each one says about rebuilds, warranty terms and the brands it handles comes from its own website; ratings and quotes come from public reviews.
Ten or more years in business is claimed by 21 of the 24 shops here. Rebuild quality is hands-on skill, and a shop that has been in one place a long time is easier to hold to a warranty. It is what their listings state, not a guarantee.
