Greg Boehm started working as a
professional auto mechanic in 1961. Having
a passion for cars, Greg decided early on
that doing the job right the first time was
much easier than having to do it over. This
work ethic has stayed with Greg throughout
his career and has proven to be the
benchmark for every task.
The challenge of working on
transmissions in general was even more
intriguing as automatic transmission became
more popular. Their complexities and level
of expertise demanded a much higher skilled
technician and required a more detail
oriented diagnostics and repair procedure.
Greg decided that focusing on a specialty
was his forte, and transmissions have
been his focus ever since.
In 1977, Greg decided to strike out
on his own and opened his first transmission
shop called "Valley Transmission" at the
corner of Washington and Mollison, in El
Cajon.
The quality workmanship that Greg
demanded from his crew soon earned the
reputation of being the place to go to
guarantee your car would be repaired
quickly, and because "They do it right the
first time".
The demand for their services expanded.
Greg opened his second shop on 2nd. Street
in El Cajon which became the main office.
In 1980, Greg was approached by Cuyamaca
College looking for someone to teach a
class in Drive Train Diagnostics & Repair.
Greg decided that he would accept the
position since he enjoyed passing on his
skills an knowledge. He taught at the
College for 17 years and is still on the
Cuyamaca College advisory board.
Valley Transmission has maintained it's
popularity through it's reputation and
both shops are a thriving business for Greg.
Greg is there everyday, overseeing
each job and personally performs road tests,
and an owner's hands-on approach to keeping
Valley Transmission the best it can be.
