In addition to Holt's Rivers Ave location, they even have a second one on Main Street in Summerville. Now that's what I call customer "service".
I have heard of all kinds of strange workmanship coming out of Holt's. I don't know if it is just one or two of their technicians that are the problem, but buyer beware!
As for myself, I typically just work on performance built transmissions for you gearheads as bench jobs. My main specialty is building late model domestic overdrives to hold up to some serious street/strip horsepower. I also work on old fossils from Powergildes to C-6s.
If someone asks me about stock rebuilds requiring R&R, or any import transmission work requiring R&R, I always refer them to Carl's Trasmissions on Spruill Ave. I have known Carl's son, Eddie, for years and we have come to know of each other's diagnostic and workmanship habits very well, and I can tell you they are top notch. We are always calling each other up and discussing any out of the ordinary strange transmission problems such as, "Have you ever seen one of these do this?". Usually between the years of experience each one of us has, we come up with a proper course of action.
Carl's may not be the cheapest in town, but you won't be left on the side of the road 3 hours out of town with a broke transmission in your daily driver, either.
