Delta Transmission has been servicing, repairing, replacing and rebuilding transmissions at its Antioch facility since 1958. In addition to general transmission work, the company handles brake repairs and replacements for most vehicle makes and models. It also offers free diagnoses on transmissions and differentials, and it can take care of insurance paperwork for clients.

Owner Chester Kniss is a veteran of the automotive industry whose fascination with cars began when he was a child. Mr. Kniss says he prides himself on honoring his quotes. “Once I conduct a thorough transmission diagnosis, the price I quote is the price the customer pays. Even if I discover problems later that add to the scope of the work, I won’t adjust my quote upward.”

Delta Transmission has remained small and family- owned throughout its history, and it continually contributes to its community through student athlete sponsorship programs. Mr. Kniss says the company’s core values have always remained the same: to provide honest, professional service at a fair price. “We’re never too busy to answer questions or explain procedures. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and educating our clients about their transmissions.”
