History
Established in 1984.
25 years ago a young man from Evergreen Park, who had already earned an extraordinary reputation as an expert on all things mechanical, realized his big dream and opened SOS Transmissions. That man is Pete Schmidt, and he brought with him, besides enthusiasm & energy, a singular vision of what his business could and should be. He believed in:
*A totally professional approach to how business was conducted.
*Excellence from top to bottom
*A bond of trust witth customers
*Service beyond the norm
Pete retains his fascination and enthusiasm for what he does, despite grueling hours and scant vacations. He has become known for having a 6th sense about vehicle problems, and for remembering past car repairs. And he has demonstrated an extraordinary talent for attracting the best technicians, and a determination to keep current with diagnostic equipment, aftermarket fixes, and continuing education.
Thus, SOS has gained renown with both customers and other repair shops.

If I’m not working on a transmission, good chance I am working on my neighbor’s lawnmower, friend’s boat or a buddy’s motorcycle. What can I say, «I enjoy the mechanical challenge of fixing anything.»
