On or about June 7th 2024, I had occasion to do business with Laid Back Garage at 4283 Co Rd 218…read moreSTE 112, Middleburg, FL 32068, (904) 203-7615. Specifically, I purchased a used 545RFE Transmission from them for my Gen 3 Ram 1500 pickup via Facebook Marketplace. After calling and reviewing their web site and Sunshine State business license, I drove the 90 min to Middleburg and was pleasantly surprised by the business I entered. The lobby looked like something from a TV show like Gas Monkey Garage. Even the parking lot was clean and filled with high end, late model Chargers, and Ram trucks, sprinkled with amazingly restored 60s muscle cars. I met the owner John Orbe who directed me outside to a box truck behind their gates. Within was about 20 or so transmissions. He retrieved a forklift and straps to reach into the middle and remove the 545RFE I wanted to look at. He told me it was from a crashed Durango the owner decided not to repair with 115K miles on it. It was very professionally removed from the donor vehicle and stored out of the elements. The cooling lines were cut and folded over. The torque converter was fastened in place with a temporary bracket, all the electrical connectors were in place, cut from the harness, protecting the pins. The unit had not been pressure washed so one could see where any leaks may have been. There was a plug in the tail to prevent fluid loss, or critter incursion. Very Professionally done. All this for $350, the low end of used transmission prices at this time. Mr. Orbe was very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly in his demeanor and attitude. He suggested I flush the trans cooler on my truck and install this trans as is. Drive it for 3K to 5K miles then service it with new filters, fluid, etc. The transmission has been installed and it operates flawlessly, no codes, no leaks. The shop that did this for me even used the trans mount on the new/used trans as it was in better shape than the fluid soaked unit on my trans. From my experience with John R Orbe and his Laid Back Garage, I would recommend doing business with them to my friends and family. I was very impressed with what I saw, what I heard, how I was treated and the organization I saw in their shop. I truly wish I lived closer so that I could take advantage of a shop that does good, honest work at a fair price.

I frantically was searching for another business to complete the job that day, as I had already taken a day off to get the job done. Tint Store was able to accommodate me the same day, and they completed the job in less than 3 hours. I opted for the base tint, which I believe they call the privacy film and it came out great. Their pricing was more than fair as well. I definitely recommend this business.
