Built on Experience. Driven by Trust.

The story of a New Smyrna Beach transmission shop that has been doing one thing well for more than 20 years.

Our Story

With over 50 years of experience in the automotive industry, Gary Zollo has dedicated his career to helping people keep their vehicles on the road.

After working at AAMCO, Gary decided to take his experience and start a transmission business of his own. His goal was simple: to help people with their transmission needs and build a business they could depend on.

Today, Gary's Transmissions has proudly operated from the same location for over 20 years. What started as Gary's vision has grown into a long-standing local business built on decades of hands-on automotive experience.

At Gary's Transmissions, it's about more than fixing vehicles. It's about helping people get back on the road.
