Over 20 years ago, a young man still “wet behind the ears” began a journey that continues today in Cedar Springs.

 As a child, owner Chris Elko was always messing around with everything, trying to figure out what made it tick.  Automatic transmissions were  a mystery to him, so many little inconspicuous parts that he knew had to have a purpose.   He soon discovered he had a knack for disassembling transmissions and within a few minutes could identify the failure point.  Not always difficult to find a broken part and say “Yeah, that’s it”.  The big challenge is to find out exactly why the failure occurred.  That’s where his mind kicks in; an intuitive understanding of the working processes at play to determine the root-cause chain of events.

He figures there’s no point in putting something back together and not knowing why, it would only come back again and again until he figures it out!

 In 2002 he saw an opportunity to open his own business.  A shop where he could practice what it means to “love thy neighbor”.  He’d found the perfect building, in the perfect location near the quaint town of Cedar Springs.  As a long-time resident of the area, he knew this was a great town to start and grow a business. Superior Transmissions is located about 15 minutes north of the Grand Rapids Metro area, see our map page here.
