Watch American Hero, Dylan Roe win the Annual Thanks-For-Giving Veteran Car Makeover
Over the past 27 years the community has been so amazing to support our Murray transmission shop, we just have to give back. In 2012 we decided to give a vehicle or car “makeover” to a deserving family and have done it every year since. In 2016 we selected a Veteran injured when an IED exploded near his convoy. This was such an amazing and emotional experience, we now select a Veteran every year.
Our Community Service Promotions

At J & G Transmissions we love cars, trucks and all things on wheels. In an effort to give back to the community for supporting our Murray, Utah business the past 27 years, we wanted to present a promotion that would give a vehicle or car “makeover” to a deserving family that seriously needed wheels. We chose to give away a completely refurbished Ford Windstar Minivan in 2013, and gave away a car “makeover” in 2012.
Our Community Service Promotion 2016

Then enter them to win the J & G Transmissions 2016 Veterans Car Makeover Giveaway. It’s easy, just submit a :30 sec. video or visit J & G Transmissions FACEBOOK page and send pictures of your nominee’s vehicle and in 100 words or less tell us why you think your military friend or family member should win a chance to get their vehicle back on the road in style in a beautifully redone car makeover.
