From the Owner
“You can count on me to treat your car as if it were my own.”
I'm Mike Yeager, the owner of Northgate Transmissions. I'm a Master Certified Technician, and I have been the proud owner for 18 years. I am in the office every day, and involved in every repair personally. I do all of the diagnostic work when your vehicle first arrives, and I also make time to perform every single final road test. I pride myself on the fact that we are specialists — we are not one size fits all, we do not repair the entire car. We are transmission and driveline only. Being a specialist allows me to be better focused on my repair of your vehicle and ensure the best transmission repair possible.
Active in competitive racing — and adores spending time with his girls. You can count on Mike to treat your car as if it were his own.
Why Specialists Win
We don't repair the entire car — on purpose
01
Diagnosed by the owner
Mike personally performs the diagnostic on every vehicle when it first arrives — no guesswork handed off to whoever is free.
02
Built by masters
Our rebuilders have 30+ years behind the bench. Every unit is torn down, inspected, and rebuilt to spec — nothing reused that shouldn't be.
03
Road-tested. Every time.
No vehicle leaves without Mike performing the final road test himself. When you get your keys back, it's been proven on the road.
One Call. One Text. Handled.
Your trusted transmission experts are just one call away
Straight answers, honest diagnostics, and a shop that treats your car like its own. Night drop available if you can't make it during business hours.
