John Meenan Transmission Service, Inc.

These guys work only on transmissions, and they handle large vehicles. They helped me out in a pinch when I was stranded out of state. I do feel they are honest and competent. However, they did not provide the best communication during the repair process; they did not understand the difference between someone asking for an update and someone pushing them to finish the job. Nonetheless, I'd go to them again.

This shop has been in business for at least a couple dozen years at this same location. The business was run by John senior, and now by his son. I've had four different vehicle's transmissions rebuilt by Meenan in the past twelve years and they've all turned out well. In three cases, Meenan stuck to their initial cost estimate for a normal overhaul, and discussed each overhaul with me afterwards to tell me what they found inside. In the fourth case, I had my '84 TransAm towed to their shop. They called me once they had the trans torn apart, to say they found a snapped input shaft and some collateral damage. They quoted an estimate for my approval, finished the repairs in two days, and saved the old parts (at my request) for my inspection. I recommend this shop to my friends.
