Default Transmission Shop in Houston area

I just got my Transgo kit and I am heading to Houston for business. I nothing about Houston and need some recommendation for tranny shops. One thread mention a Cottmans in Pasadena, TX but it was posted in 03.

Any shops in Houston, Huntsville, College Station, or San Antonio (don't want to make long too of a trip).

Question

That thread is a bit old TX. I'm not finding Century Automotive and Transmissions in the Yellow pages.
I wonder if they are still around?
my brother's Z71 needs the tranny rebuilt now for sure! The tranny cooler in the radiator bursted in side and both mixed together. He has been riding around with it like that for a little over a month. He finally replaced the radiator and had both the coolant and tranny flushed.
The tranny now makes awefull noises when going into OD.
Needs the rebuild ASAP. Where did you end up taking yours??

Jim

If You Havent Got It Done Yet, Try Exner Transmission In Pasadena. The Guy Has Built Performance Transmissions For About 30 Years. He Knows What Hes Doing.
