Nominate your shop to be featured in TD’s shop profile series

Our best wishes to you all for a successful and happy new year. I know we’re all trying to overcome the challenges of supply chain shortages, inflation and the pandemic. But, every time we see January roll onto the calendar, we have the opportunity to take a fresh look at what we do and quite possibly to make a fresh start at doing it better.

Over the past 40 years literally hundreds of shops have shared the story of their business, their customers and their families through the pages of Transmission Digest. Our editors have always needed to know about shops that have a story to be told.

If your shop story hasn’t been told or you know of a shop that would make for an interesting read, please contact Transmission Digest editor Alex Crissey. One of Alex’s duties is finding transmission shops and writing about what they do and how they are doing it. Nominate a shop by emailing Alex: [email protected].

Happy New Year!

Shop organization: Tools in a tube

Every shop has a special location. Sometimes it’s a shelf, sometimes it’s a drawer. It’s where we keep all the “tools” that come in a tube.
