You have to work a little to find A-1 Transmission, which is tucked into a wooded cul-de-sac between Interstate 5 and Joint Base Lewis McChord. But owner Tom Davis has been in business for more than 30 years and his customers have no trouble finding their way back. A-1 works on all transmissions, foreign and domestic, car or truck, as well as clutches, drive shafts and differentials. It offers a fully-equipped machine shop for rebuilding transmissions and an extra-tall work bay for RVs and big-rig trucks. The shop provides a 15% discount on labor for military personnel. Rental cars are also available.
