02 / Our Story

A Family Name You Can Trust

Northway Transmissions is a family owned and operated local business based in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Bill and Debbie Taggart founded the shop with one goal — to be trusted advisors in the automotive industry.

Today the shop runs under their sons, Brian and Kevin , who carry on that same standard. Together the team brings over 30 years of quality automotive experience to every vehicle that rolls through the door.

We've built a solid reputation as trusted experts — diagnosing problems honestly, educating our customers on exactly what needs fixed, and doing the work well the first time. All rebuilds come with a One Year / 12,000 Mile Warranty.
