McLain Transmissions Specializing in transmission rebuild and replacement. Automotive repair from transfer cases to engine replacement. Honest, professional service.

McLain Transmissions was started in 1998, by Doug McLain, as a division of Carrigan Auto Service, in Lake City, Michigan. In 1999, he moved the business to Cadillac. We were in Cadillac for five years, before moving to our current location in 2003. To better serve our customers, we built a four bay shop on the corner of LaChance and Rosted roads, between Lake City and Cadillac. Three of our four bays have hoists, which allow us to work on everything from compact cars to cube vans. The fourth bay is for motor homes, or repairs that do not require a hoist. We take pride in our business and offer a welcoming lobby and a clean shop. That attention to detail carries over to our customers vehicles, making sure they leave just as clean as they came in. At McLain Transmissions, we promise to diagnose transmission problems and other repair issues in an honest and upfront manner and we are committed to providing exceptional work at a fair price.
