It's Testimonial Thursday! This Thursday, we are looking at our shop in Independence, Missouri! Sean and his team of technicians worked quickly to diagnose and repair our customer's vehicle.

"Had to get a full transmission replacement. Sean went to bat with the warranty company and they were suitable with the repairs. A pretty stressful situation but these guys made it as painless as you could. Highly recommend for best service on your vehicles." -Jerry

Good job, team! And thank you, Jerry, for giving us a great review!

School is back in session! That means more travel for millions across the country. August is a busy time for everyone. Make sure you don't overtax yourself or your vehicle! If you have issues with your transmission, remember to see our technicians so we can diagnose the problem. Drive safe, and have a great start to the school year!

It's testimonial Tuesday! Today we are recognizing our shop in Bellevue, Nebraska! They recently helped Ryan with some repairs, and he had some nice things to say:

"The team here is very professional and helpful. I appreciate the research they put in to make sure each vehicle gets the correct care, in my case it saved me a few hundred dollars! While I don’t always expect savings like that, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here because I know the work will get done right."

It takes all hands at the shop to ensure everything runs as smoothly as it does! The Bellevue shop service advisors and the transmission technicians all worked together to provide an excellent experience for Ryan! Thank you to the Bellevue shop for being a fantastic team, and a big thank you to Ryan for leaving a wonderful review!

It is now officially summer as of today! Happy Summer, everyone! The hot days are here, so it's time to mindful of what time of day you drive and how you drive. Transmissions do not like high heat, so try not to drive in the hottest part of the day. Make sure you watch how you accelerate so you are not making your transmission work too hard. We can help diagnose if you start to smell burning fluid, or hear grinding or clunking this summer season, to determine if it's transmission issues or engine related. If you are experiencing any symptoms already, book an appointment with one of our Omaha or Kansas City area transmission shops. We'll be happy to help!

This is so cool! We LOVE seeing vintage cars, and we love that our customers' trust us with vehicles like this. But in this case, this 40 Ford Coupe came to our Millard Transmission shop from out of town. We knew we had to get this black beauty back in working order to get this customer home to a different state. Turns out, he left us an amazing review for helping him out! It was totally our pleasure!

It’s Meet the Crew Monday! This time it’s special because we have a shop manager who was featured on the front cover of the popular automotive magazine Ratchet & Wrench! Chelsea is the manager of our transmission shop in Bellevue, NE. She has been with Certified for almost 4 years, starting as a service advisor at our Pacific St. shop in Omaha, NE. She’s always making sure her customers know she feels for their situation, especially when it’s a major transmission repair or replacement. She is quoted in the article as saying, “People skills are huge. It's crucial to be empathetic, to be understanding and to honestly put yourself in their shoes.” She truly cares about her customers and always keeps them informed to help them make the best decision for their vehicle. Her knowledge and skills as a manager have grown so much over the last few years that we couldn’t be more thankful that she is part of the Certified Team. Congratulations Chelsea!

It's been a while! Welcome back, Testimonial Thursday! Today we recognize one of our Kansas City transmission shops, specifically in Liberty, MO. They recently helped Brenda with repairs on her vehicle and she had some nice feedback for us:

"I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with my visit. I was greeted as soon as I walked into a spotless waiting area. My vehicle was repaired quickly and runs great! I'll be taking my other vehicle there soon. Thanks Guys!" - Brenda C.

It takes all hands at the shop to make it run smoothly. Looks like the Liberty shop service advisors and the transmission technicians all came together to create a great experience for Brenda. Thank you to the Liberty crew for being an excellent team, and to Brenda for the awesome review!

At Certified Transmission, we pride ourselves on getting the job done right the first time, and at the right price.

We love to hear feedback from our customers about their experience at our transmission shops and in addition to Google, Facebook, and Yelp, we have some great reviews on our website too! Newly revamped, our reviews page has a special feature, where you can LISTEN to reviews from others. We think it's a great feature!

Wow, snow again!? It may be March, and it may just all melt tomorrow, who knows! But the weather sure has been up and down lately. And even though it's March, the cold can still play a part in how a transmission operates. Shifting issues can occur suddenly in the cold, or trying to make it out of a slick spot can even throw your gears out of whack. Luckily, we're here for you if that happens. Maybe the shifting issue was just a one time thing, or maybe it's just getting worse the colder it is. Either way, we can diagnose your transmission concerns and find out what we can do to help fix it! But most importantly, everyone stay safe out there on the roads today!

There was a great turnout at KC Vision this year that took place over the weekend. We had 22 crew members from multiple transmission shops attend from Omaha, Iowa, Lincoln, and the KC area. We love to see when our people take the opportunity to become better automotive experts and increase their knowledge, and better themselves when the opportunity arises. Here is a picture of all the Certified Transmission people that went to KC Vision this year and we hope they had fun!

Our reviews are something we don't take lightly. We strive to be the best we can be, and that means making sure our customers get the best service for their vehicle's transmissions and the best customer service they ever got at an automotive shop.

Just two three days ago, Carol visited our Granview, MO transmission shop, and she had some excellent words for her experience:

"Certified Transmission Grandview, MO was fast, friendly, affordable, clean and I would definitely recommend it to my friends!"

We really appreciate the sincere recommendation, Carol. We are glad you had a great experience with Certified Transmission, Grandview!

It's pretty exciting to see when our transmission technicians go above and beyond the norm, and one such tech from our Independence transmission shop did just that.

This is so cool!! One of the other shops we work with at our Liberty, MO shop came in with a surprise last week. They had a banjo hand made out of one of our Christmas cookie tins! They even took the time to carve a tiny transmission into the fretboard. WOW, this is certainly one of the coolest gifts any of our shops have ever gotten. Thank you so much to Al's Transmission Service in Lawson, MO!

On this Testimonial Thursday, we have a great review from Michael, who got a transmission service done at one of our Omaha shops in Millard:

"Awesome customer service. I was able to tow my car in and have service done right away. They even worked with my schedule on a pickup date at my convenience. Would definitely recommend."

Thank you to Michael for giving us an excellent review and recommending us. To our transmission experts at our Millard location, keep up the good work!

Last Friday, our Bellevue shop had the honor of hosting a Chariots 4 Hope Blessing to a lovely, hardworking single mom. Chey was surprised with a beautiful Blue Chevy Impala, surrounded by members of Chariots 4 Hope, Jerry and Jennifer Teeter who donated the vehicle, and crew members of Bellevue Certified Transmission, who installed one of our remanufactured units in the vehicle. The look on Chey’s face when the garage door went up and the tears of joy and gratitude in her eyes were what made the event an amazing and emotional moment. The pictures say it all, and we want to thank Chariots 4 Hope for including us to play a part in such a beautiful program. You do such wonderful things for the community and touch so many lives with such positivity and we are so happy we could be involved!

Chariots 4 Hope is a nonprofit organization that provides modes of transportation to people in need. Transportation is more than just a vehicle. It’s about helping to provide self-sufficiency and removing transportation barriers for the sake of employment, health, child care, and more.

01/27/2023

Apparently it's hard to predict snowfall here in the Midwest. It seems like the big snow storms we were supposed to have this season sort of fizzled right after they started. But it is still cold weather which can really "throw a wrench in the gears" of a transmission. Don't forget to let your vehicle warm up to let the transmission and fluid come to the correct temperature before taking off, which can make all the difference between just minor fixes and a whole transmission replacement in the long run. And if you notice any shifting or drivability concerns later on, give us a shout, we can help!

A couple of months ago, we recognized an amazing employee for his 35 years here at Certified. Last week we experienced the bittersweet moment of seeing him retire from us.

Who has an emergency kit in their car? Have you added the necessary items to it for cold weather? The NSC recommends a number of items for winter, including extra warm clothing or a blanket, snow brush and shovel, and others items to keep in your car all winter long. If your vehicle suffers a transmission failure, or has trouble shifting in the cold and you can't drive it, you want to make sure you are prepared to be stuck in freezing temperatures for a period of time, and have a list of contacts in your phone ready to help you out. (Feel free to add Certified to that list ;) )

Here are more items that the NSC recommends having in your emergency car kit: https://www.nsc.org/community-safety/safety-topics/emergency-preparedness/emergency-supplies-for-car

Certified Transmission wishes everyone a very Happy New Year! Here's to 2023 and starting fresh.
