American & Import Auto Repair Named Authorized Certified Transmission Installer in Johnson City, TN

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - July 23, 2026 - PRLog -- American & Import Auto Repair, a family-owned auto repair business serving Johnson City for more than two decades, has become an authorized installer for Certified Transmission, one of the nation's largest suppliers of remanufactured transmissions. The partnership covers both of the company's Johnson City locations, on Market Street and Hopper Road.

Under the new partnership, customers at both locations now have direct access to Certified Transmission's factory-quality rebuilt transmissions. Certified Transmission builds every unit from the ground up using premium components and puts each one through a rigorous multi-point inspection process to meet or exceed original factory specifications. Every transmission is backed by Certified Transmission's standard 3-year, 100,000-mile nationwide warranty, giving drivers added peace of mind on one of the most expensive repairs a vehicle can need.

"Our customers trust us to point them toward the best possible repair, not just the fastest one," said Tim Smith, owner of American & Import Auto Repair. "Becoming an authorized Certified Transmission installer lets us offer a proven, warrantied transmission option instead of asking customers to gamble on an expensive full replacement. We're also able to offer financing, so a transmission repair doesn't have to derail somebody's budget. It fits exactly how we've always done business here: honest work, at a fair price, backed by a company that stands behind it."

American & Import Auto Repair has built its reputation in the Tri-Cities area on ASE-certified technicians, transparent communication with customers, and a full range of auto repair services. Adding Certified Transmission's factory-quality rebuilt transmissions to that lineup allows the shop to offer transmission replacements with dealership-level quality at independent-shop prices plus financing options help make the repair affordable for customers facing an unexpected transmission failure.

Certified Transmission has been remanufacturing transmissions for more than 45 years and works with a network of authorized installers across the country to bring its warrantied units directly to local repair shops.
