FAQ

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Everything you need to know about our shop, our custom transmission builds, and how fast we can get you back on the road.

Yes, Janis Transmission is proudly family-owned and operated. You aren't just a number to us. We've been serving the Akron, Canton, and Cleveland areas for over 40 years, providing honest communication and absolute care for your vehicle.

Not at all! While we are known nationwide for our high-performance 200-4R builds, we specialize in standard rebuilds, fluid changes, and daily driver transmission maintenance (including TH400, 4L60E, and 4L80E).

Our shop is conveniently located in Akron, OH, proudly serving all of Northeast Ohio. However, our reputation speaks for itself—we regularly have customers ship transmissions or drive from all over the country (even as far as Florida) to have us build their units.

We know being without your vehicle is a massive headache. We pride ourselves on being extremely efficient. Depending on parts availability and the scope of the build, we work tirelessly to get you back on the road or track as fast as possible without cutting a single corner.
