The shop also offers computer diagnostics.

On its approach the site says: "Whether you just purchased your vehicle or have had it for many years, you understand the importance of keeping your vehicle running properly. Invest in your vehicle to help save on costly repairs in the future."

Work is done by ASE certified technicians, and the site describes the shop as locally owned and fully insured.

Services are offered for all makes and models.

The site does not publish which transmission types or specific models it rebuilds, turnaround times for a rebuild, whether it supplies remanufactured units, the source or warranty of used transmissions, or any price for transmission work.

The site also advertises "Same-Day Service Available".

No prices, pricing, rates, labour charges, diagnostic fees or minimum charges are published anywhere on the site, for transmission or general repair work.

The site does not publish financing or payment plans, which payment types are accepted, whether same-day service applies to all jobs or only some, deposit requirements, or how long a rebuild takes. Those are answered by calling (617) 738-0760.

Two of these change how a customer plans a visit: no appointment is necessary, so the shop takes vehicles without booking ahead, and 24-hour emergency service is offered. "Extended WARRANTIES honored" means the shop will work with a customer's existing extended warranty or vehicle service contract.

The site says the business has been operating since 1997.

The site does not publish what the 1-year/12,000-mile warranty covers or excludes, whether it applies to parts, labour or both, whether it is transferable, how to make a warranty claim, which extended warranty providers it works with, or its licence and bonding numbers.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
