When you demand fast and affordable transmission repair or replacement, you can rely on us! For over 35 years, our knowledgeable owner has worked in the automotive industry - specializing in transmission services. When we opened our business, our primary goal was to provide honest and quality transmission service and repair to the community," said Judy Cormier, who owns Custom Built Transmissions with her husband, Danny. "For most people, owning your own business is the 'American Dream.' For us, it wasn't so much about getting rich, but wanting to provide for our family and be of service to others." The Cormiers were both born and raised in Lake Charles and married in 1975. In 1997, they sold their home and bought the shop and house on Western Drive at Highway 14 East. Working together is a winning combination. "Danny has been in the automotive profession for over 40 years, specializing in transmissions," Judy said. "I have been in the administrative and clerical field for as long, having owned my own typing and transcription business for over 20 years." They started their own business 15 years ago in January 1998. "At the time, I was working out of my home, so it was just natural for me to step into the role of business partner doing the books while Danny did the 'hard' work," she said. "We have blended our talents and feel very fortunate to be able to work together and stay happily married. It requires a lot of faith and trust - both in God and each other!" The couple has three children and over the years, all of them have worked in the business. "Our oldest son, Brian, has been working with us full-time since 1999," she added.
