Jim's Transmission Service was started in 1958 by Robert James (Jim) Currier Sr. in a small garage on Cuyahoga Falls Ave. in Akron. He moved the shop in 1962 into the building pictured to the left, which was located on North Main St.

Left vehicle there to perform simple repairs to do and written down too. 5-working days later after calling, and them saying they are getting right on it. I finally had wife call 5 days later to pick up done or just pick up undone. It was picked up undone. Seemed like OK people but what a way to waste my time. Now I am going to check a past job they did for me just in case. You decide

The drive shaft literally fell out of my truck onto the road near Mike's shop. He replaced the carrier bearing as soon as the part came in. I could not have been happier. Great price, fast service.

I took my vehicle to this location for a transmission and engine code diagnostics. They took the vehicle out for a 5 minute drive and reported that the transmission was "toast" and that both catalytic converters were bad. They recommended a used transmission, converters, and O2 sensors. The repairs were made, bad on me I should have checked the price they were asking for the used transmission which was as much as a NEW transmission. The following week the transmission started acting up again so I looked at the invoice a little closer, they listed the wrong transmission being put in, so I went underneath to look at it and found what appeared to be my old transmission, I stripped a bolt hole when I did the fluid change and they had a shiny new bolt in the same hole that I put the old one back in. Called to explain what happened and Larry basically called me a liar and told me to bring it back in and they would "make it right." By this time I noticed what sounded like a small exhaust leak starting, and decided I would look into it after the weather got nicer. Another used transmission that took twice as long as the "first" one. Fast forward a couple weeks and the small exhaust leak is now a rumbling roar and it's 7 degrees outside with 6 inches of snow on the ground. The snow finally melts and I crawl under again and find that the clamp they reused had completely let go and my exhaust is completely open, my resonator and muffler are full of water, and my tailpipe has busted off the muffler. What I assume happened is the pipes came apart and as I drove the truck kicked snow and water up into the gaping hole in my exhaust, then froze at the end and broke the weld holding the tailpipe on. I call them AGAIN to ask for rework and I am told that they have a reputation of doing excellent work and that the only reason they "keep striking out with me is because I am a mechanic and can find fault in anything" and that "the exhaust clamp was probably bad." Me being a mechanic has no bearing at all on not doing a proper job. Moving on to the follow-up repair, they pulled my truck in and Larry proceeded to come out and tell me that there was no water in my muffler and that its not their fault that they used a bad clamp on rotten exhaust, with out saying a word about it to me, and that I would have to pay them to fix it. Sprinkled through this tirade were several offers of physical violence, finally resulting in Larry flat out telling me to leave or he would kick my ass as he walked through the door and locked it. My truck comes out and I leave with a bad exhaust repair. I don't care how stubborn or belligerent a customer is being, you don't threaten or insult them. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
