Good morning, any know if a good transmission shop in the Orange County area? 2018 Silverado 1/2 ton needs a trans rebuild. Jasper rebuilt replacement is north of 6K. Was hoping someone can rebuild with better aftermarket parts and save some $$. Thanks

Don't have a referral for you, but the trans in my 2018 Silverado 1/2 ton just went out at 86,000 miles.. Luckily I purchased the extended warranty. Close to $8K. No out of pocket for me. Good luck.

Not Orange County but I would use Inglewood Transmissions. They used to be in Fullerton but moved to Longbeach about a year ago.

remember when it was a little shack of a shop... the son is a very nice and fair person they do good work and shop is spotless


Havasu didnt know you were a Jardin guy????
Art died about 6 months ago but the shop is still running, they're a couple of blocks away. They've done a half dozen or so automatic transmissions for me over the years and have all been bulletproof.

wow that sucks very nice man and glad i was able to meet and pick his brain ... alot of the legends and old timers are checking out

I have had several built by Art when he was in Fountain Valley. Many moons ago.

Bought Art's transmissions for both the super stock car and comp dragster in the 80's.
Great person, bulletproof products and always was there for tech questions and advice.
Sorry to hear.

Not OC, but Remac Transmissions would be mine and Brian's recommendation, next to the old Rex Marine. He did my whole group of friends hot rod stuff, I think he did Brian's Tahoe as well, and I know he does fleet and everything in between.
