Spotlight on Monterey Transmission: A Family-Owned Business with a Heart for the Community
Established in 1992, John and Maria Mikulski, Monterey Transmission has become much more than just a reliable automotive repair shop. It’s a shining example of how small, family-owned businesses can make a big impact on the community.
A Family Affair
John and Maria Mikulski, the proud owners of Monterey Transmission, with over 40 years of experience in high-quality transmission repair and heavy motor work in Martin County. With just four dedicated employees, the shop maintains a personal touch that sets it apart from larger, more impersonal chains. Over the years, the Mikulskis have built their business on trust, expertise, and a deep commitment to their customers.
John’s automotive skills are complemented by Maria’s personable nature and excellent people skills, which have been instrumental in building lasting relationships with their clients. Her ability to connect with customers and ensure their needs are met supports the business in ways that extend beyond the garage, enhancing the overall customer experience.
The couple, who also share two endearing children together, balance family life with running the business. Their dedication to both their personal and professional lives is reflected in the care they put into every vehicle they service. But their commitment doesn’t stop at transmissions—they have a passion for giving back to those who need it most.
Supporting Veterans and First Responders with More Than Just Words
Monterey Transmission isn’t just about fixing cars; it’s about supporting the community, especially veterans and first responders. John’s father, a Vietnam veteran himself, and Maria have found a special connection with House of Vet, a local organization that provides essential services to veterans. House of Vet offers support, resources, and transitional services to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.
Through Monterey Transmission, John and Maria regularly donate and offer discounted vehicle repairs to veterans, police officers, and firefighters. By providing these services at a reduced cost, they’re helping veterans and first responders stay mobile, access work opportunities, and improve their quality of life—something the Mikulskis hold dear.
A Healthy Balance: Mind, Body, and Community
Aside from their business and community work, John and Maria are advocates of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Both are avid gym-goers and incorporate regular exercise into their busy schedules. They believe that staying fit helps them manage the demands of running a business and raising a family, while also contributing to their overall well-being.
Their passion for health and fitness is something they also share with their family, teaching them the importance of physical activity, discipline, and maintaining balance in life.
Looking Ahead
Monterey Transmission may be a small, family-run business, but its impact on the community is substantial. By blending family values, expert service, and a deep commitment to giving back, John and Maria Mikulski have created something truly special. Whether it’s through their charitable efforts with House of Vet or their dedication to quality automotive care, Monterey Transmission continues to drive forward with purpose.
