Jimmy's Transmissions A+

I just had Jimmy at Jimmy's Transmission in Mundelein Il rebuild my trans out of my Gn. I have nothing but good things to say for him and his work. I thought the price was great. He had no problem answering any of my stuipd questions. The car had a seat cover and paper floor mat in it when I came to pick it up.

I had 2 transmissions done by Jimmy last summer. He was great to deal with and I am very happy with the results.

I've known Jimmy many years. He builds a great trans and has the cleanest shop I've ever seen. His only problems are, he needs to gain some weight and stop smoking

Ed, Jimmy said he quit smoking about 6 months ago. He even has a little web site that someone set up for him. His shop is very clean and organized. I would love to trade my GN for his ttype.
