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 above which was located on North Main St. next to the current Alexander Body Shop in the North Hill area of Akron.
Jim Sr., pictured on the left, shared the building with a general auto repair business run by Al Rothgeb. Transmission repair was done at the North Main St. location for many years without the benefit of air tools. There were no lifts at North Main St. so transmission removal, installation and service was all done on the floor utilizing floor jacks, jack stands and mechanics creepers! Jim's sons Jim Jr., Chuck and Mike all worked at the shop off and on. Jim and Sons Transmission remained at North Main St. location for twenty years until 1982 when the business was moved to 2679 Front Street at the corner of Bailey Road in Cuyahoga Falls. The business was in this location for twenty years. In January of 1990 Jim Sr. passed away due to cancer at the age of 62. He is sorely missed by all.
In July of 2002 the business was moved to it's new and current location at 2786 Front Street.
Jim Jr. is the current owner and his brother Chuck works as the rebuilder. Several of Jim Jr.'s sons currently also work at the shop continuing the tradition of a family owned and operated business.
Our current state of the art facility features 16 service lifts, the latest in diagnostic and testing equipment, and has a fully equipped machine shop for torque converter rebuilding.
