On the 16th of January 2010 Verdolini’s Transmission Service lost our founder, Mario J Verdolini Sr. after a brief illness. All the wisdom and tricks of the trade my father has offered our business through the years will not be forgotten. His knowledge of early automatic transmission repair was a great asset to us, this well retained information will allow us to continue providing service to early models as well as late models. Years ago in this business tools of the trade were not always available and Mario would fabricate some of these, many are still used daily. We will be reminded of his presence in the shop for years to come. To some he was a savior when they were stranded and to many he was a good friend. My father Mario Verdolini will be greatly missed.
