I'm Daniel Fenti, owner and chief monkey here at NC Transmission Professional Center. I got tall in Syracuse, NY, not sure if I'm grown up yet. I moved to the Raleigh area back in 1994 wet behind the ears and fresh out of college. After taking a few lumps in the corporate world I went on to a very exciting and challenging career in sales for consumer electronics - wholesale. I sold major brands of CE for several years, rising through the ranks and being a very successful salesperson for several years. I went on to establish the sales division of the largest CE installation company in the US, and then back to selling wholesale for a Berkshire Hathaway company. During the big economic challenges of 2008, I became a victim, and got laid off in November. I spent an angst ridden few months trying to figure out what to do with myself when my then 5 year old son laid it out for me. "I know what you can do, dad, you can be a car fixer."

Yeah, OK, so I do my own oil changes and brake work and tinker with other stuff, but become a mechanic? Nah. No time to learn how. I looked at other options, but no one was hiring elite salespeople, so what next? Through the power of the internet and long deep prayers, I found an opportunity right here in Fuquay for a transmission shop. What do I know about transmission repair? Not a lot, but hey, it's a shop, I can make it into my own image, right?
