Default Reputable, honest, OCD transmission shops in Portland?

Anyone have recommendation on quality standard transmission shop? Had a small drip & thus pulled the Tremec TKO-600 out of our Camaro today. Ideal would be SW Portland, but I'm willing to deliver the trans where ever as long as it's a reputable, truly OCD, detail-oriented honest repair shop. Trans is fine, shifts perfectly, quiet, etc. Just want to get a great shop to diagnose the leak, swap seals, put it back together.

Thanks,
Stanford

Check out PSI (Portland Speed Industries) I highly recommend these guys! They tuned my turbo s2k and also worked on my IS-F

Thanks - will share $0.02 on PSI in a sec, but first, HUGE credit to Marsh Transmission. Eddie at AR Services referred us to Marsh last week. Joey Woodard there did a great job examining, diagnosing and re-sealing the Z/28's transmission. Very, very thorough shop and after my 25 years / $70K of work done, I can highly recommended Marsh for transmission and other driveline related work. On time, on promised estimate, with calls to apprise us of status once they had the trans apart.

As for Portland Speed, they've been a tad slow fixing my car (Jan-Sep 2012). If it proves to be a reliable engine though, I'll be more of a fan & endorse them the same way I've recommended shops like Laskey, Laivins, JC AutoSpec, etc. Don't get me wrong - they're courteous, professional and knowledgeable. It's just that in my case, you'd think the car should have been ready in March worst-case, not Sept.

Thanks for the reviews, Stanford.

We always like to know when a shop does a good job so we can make recommendations to people in the future

Might I ask what Psi is working on for you? That time frame seems to be a restoration? What could take 9 months
