Dependable Car Care in Escalon, California
Escalon has a spirit all its own. It’s a quiet gateway between the fertile Central Valley and beautiful Sierra foothills, with hard-working people and a rural pace of life. In the heart of this town is Escalon Transmission.
The Spirit of Escalon
Owners Sandra and CJ Jennings are passionate about the spirit of this community. They
purchased Escalon Transmission as a way to build a humble family legacy and honor their
children. Those who know Sandra and CJ will tell you they are true Christians who believe in
doing good things for others.
Escalon Transmission was already a trusted name in the community, with loyal customers from
all over the area. It originally opened in 2005 and has always been a family business. When the
original owner decided it was time to move on, Sandra and CJ purchased the building and took
over management of this successful transmission shop.
Our transmission repair shop is conveniently located at 1425 1st Street Escalon, CA 95320 and open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm. Walk-ins are always welcome! Or, you can call us at (209) 838-0113 to schedule an appointment at the most convenient time.
A Family Legacy
Family connections drive Sandra and CJ every day. They first met at fellowship in their church in
2014. Sandra was a single mother with four children. CJ is originally from Omaha and moved to
California to expand his career as a skilled transmission rebuilder. Two of Sandra’s children had
serious health issues that they battled throughout their lives. Josh was afflicted with cystic
fibrosis, but was one of the most positive and energetic young men you could ever meet. He
made friends everywhere he went and his spirit touched everyone.
Harmony was a survivor of multiple lung transplants and was a true fighter who lived long
enough to start her own family. She had a never-give-up attitude and was an inspiration in
every single way. Sandra and CJ bought her a home, so she could live out her final years in
comfort. Her passing was a difficult time for the family, but it led to an unexpected opportunity.
They were able to use the money from selling the home to fund to start the Harmony Blue
Corporation and purchase the Escalon Transmission building. Of course, Harmony Blue is
named after both Harmony and Josh, whose nickname was “Blue” after the time he dyed his
hair bright blue in high school. Even the colors of Escalon are inspired by them, with purple
being Harmony’s favorite color and blue being an obvious choice.
Sandra and CJ enjoy every chance to spend quality time with their family, which includes their
other two sons, Jacob and Chris, and five grandchildren. They are both successful in life and
carry forward the undeterred spirit of their lost-but-never-forgotten siblings.
Making a Positive Impact
It is important to understand the backstory that led Sandra and CJ to begin their journey as owners of Escalon Transmission. It’s a new chapter in their lives, and a way to grow the family legacy by making a positive impact in the community.
Transmission Expertise
Owning a transmission shop is a lifelong dream of CJs. His father loved working on cars and ran his own little automotive shop in Omaha. CJ and his brothers would go into town and help him
on the weekends. He has always had an inquisitive mind and a unique attention to detail. CJ
loved pulling apart damaged auto components. He wanted to see how everything worked, and
then systematically make the necessary repairs and put them back together so they would run
perfectly again. CJ was especially drawn to the complexity and mechanical beauty of
transmissions. To say he is a natural at rebuilding transmissions is an understatement.
CJ has spent his entire life in the automotive industry, with most of that time focused on
transmission rebuilds. He is taking that expertise to Escalon Transmission, standing behind the
shop’s work with an industry-leading 3 Year, 100,000 Mile Warranty.
