Meet Our Team

Lowell Hester, Owner

Lowell’s career in the aftermarket transmission business began in 1994 as manager of Mr. Transmission, Decatur, GA. In 1997, Mr. Transmission Sandy Springs was incorporated and purchased by Lowell in March of 1998. Lowell has fond memories of his father’s innate ability to work on and successfully repair anything automotive. Every year, Lowell’s hard work and dedication to customer service has earned Mr. Transmission Sandy Springs the Franchisor’s Award of Excellence and in 2011, the elite designation as Franchisee of the Year. This award is not based on sales dollar volume but rather the more important measure of good customer service and relationship standing in the industry. It is because of his strong work ethic and belief that “you can never go wrong by doing the right thing”, our customers gladly refer their friends and family members to us.

Tom Nichols, Center Manager

We are pleased to welcome Tom Nichols to our team as center manager.

Having successfully owned and operated both Mr. Transmission and Aamco Transmission franchises at some point during his career, Tom has extensive training and knowledge in the aftermarket transmission repair industry and he understands all facets of owning and operating a transmission repair center from the ground up.

From the first call to drive out, Tom assists in diagnosing any issue you may be having with your vehicle. Once the diagnosis has been completed if there’s a transmission issue, he will take time explain the diagnosis and make sure our customers understand all options to make the best decision as it pertains to their vehicle. Most importantly, he realizes the value in communication and creating lasting relationships with his customers.

If you suspect your car or truck is experiencing problems with the transmission Tom will be here to answer your questions and discuss bringing your vehicle in for a diagnosis.

Cindy Hester, President/Marketing/Administrative Operations

In 2008, when sales in the new construction housing market began to slow, Cindy took the opportunity to join Mr. Transmission in an attempt to assist Lowell in “wading into the deep waters” of the 21st century of technology in the Mr. T office. Although, he will still tell you he would like to “go back to using smoke signals” to communicate, Lowell is making progress but Cindy still has her hands full managing the office and decision making in today’s ever changing marketing trends.
