Dennis Balko, the owner of URTECH AUTOMOTIVE, did the tranny overhaul on my big 454 and also a minivan each over 100,000 miles ago at VERY competitive prices. The work was perfect and the price almost as good. He's very quick in and out with the vehicle, and has since done all kinds of other work on cars, boats, motorcycles,4-wheelers, etc. for me and a lot of my buddies, who jokingly call him "the patent office". When he fixes it, it stays fixed. He's a long way to go from my house (and I do love my neighborhood mechanic for convenience sake), but Dennis Balko at URTECH in South Houston is a first choice for many of us from southwest Houston to Baytown for serious mechanical problems of all kinds. read more
