WHO WE ARE

IT STARTED OVER 60 YEARS AGO…

RELIABLE & EFFECTIVE

Leon Reed opened the doors to his first small shop in Reseda, CA in 1960, where he specialized in automatic transmission repair. Within a short time, Leon and his staff built a reputation for providing quality transmission services, fair prices and a passion for customer service. Leon’s partner, Henry Springer, grew the business to seven locations, with the help of several key employees.

Fans of Leon’s Transmission nicknamed the shop “The Old Reliable” – an ode to the exceptional service and longstanding trust that Leon had built within his community. It wasn’t long until the once small business expanded to a multi-regional chain with eight busy locations throughout Southern California.
