Transmission Shop Inc.
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Chris Skoog, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing Transmission Shop Inc., a transmission company in Hennepin County.
Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.
The owners of these small businesses are entrepreneurs who often take many financial and business risks, provide employment opportunities, and add their creativity and ingenuity to the overall commerce of a local community, town, city, and county. Many business owners work long hours, endure challenging times, and make personal sacrifices.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Transmission Shop Inc. as a business that is appreciated by its customers and provides valuable services.
The company’s continued success speaks to the dedication, experience, and perseverance of Chris Skoog, who has overcome the many business obstacles and barriers that are part and parcel of business ownership.
Before entering the automotive industry, Chris proudly served in law enforcement. While he valued his career in public service, automobiles had always been a passion shared by his family. That lifelong passion ultimately led him to transition into the automotive industry, where he could combine technical expertise with his desire to serve others.
Chris’s path to Transmission Shop Inc. was also shaped by a lasting friendship with the previous owner, Al. Even after Chris moved away, the two remained in regular contact over the years. Their mutual respect for quality workmanship, integrity, and customer service eventually helped Chris continue the legacy of the business while building upon its already outstanding reputation.
In addition to transmission repair, Chris has always been passionate about classic cars and hot rods. What started as a side project has grown into a thriving hot rod restoration and customization division within the company. His innovative mindset has also led him to personally develop a specialized transmission shift box, demonstrating his commitment to improving performance and advancing the industry through practical solutions.
Customer satisfaction has always been the driving force behind Transmission Shop Inc. Chris believes every customer should be treated the way he would want his own family to be treated. His philosophy is simple: every customer should leave happy. To accomplish that, every concern is addressed using his proven “Four C’s” approach—Concern, Cause, Correction, and Confirmation. By carefully listening to the customer’s concerns, identifying the true cause of the problem, performing the proper correction, and confirming complete customer satisfaction, Chris and his team have earned the trust and loyalty of countless customers throughout Hennepin County.
Chris also believes successful businesses should invest back into the communities they serve. Transmission Shop Inc. proudly sponsors the Nationals and the GSTA Car Show while supporting numerous local car clubs and automotive enthusiasts. The company has partnered with organizations that help provide free vehicle safety repairs for low-income families and regularly assists single mothers and families facing difficult financial circumstances whenever possible. Chris understands that dependable transportation can make a tremendous difference in someone’s life, and he is proud to help families stay safely on the road.
When he isn’t at the shop, Chris enjoys spending quality time with his family. Whether traveling in the family RV, enjoying adventures on the open road, relaxing around a campfire, or spending time outdoors, family always comes first. An avid sportsman, Chris also enjoys shooting sports and appreciates every opportunity to enjoy Minnesota’s great outdoors.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Chris Skoog for the past, present, and future contributions that Transmission Shop Inc. and its staff have made and will continue to make in Hennepin County.
