Quaker Transmissions
By JENNIFER COATES
Summer is the perfect time for ROAD TRIPS, so travel-planners who have big cross-country ambitions or for those with more local aspirations, now is the time to get your vehicle ready to hit the pavement!
Summer in Rhode Island is HOT, even stifling hot. Heat and your vehicle’s transmission can be a tough combination. Your transmission is one of the most important components of your car, and if it is compromised in any way, it puts everything at risk for irreparable damage. Transmission troubles can appear in any season and can bring with them a host of major repairs and unexpected expenses – that is unless you are diligent about tending to signs of trouble.
When you are looking for honest, knowledgeable service for your vehicle this summer — one that special-
izes in transmission, clutch, and drive train repair — then Quaker Transmissions in West Warwick is the place to go. The owner of Quaker Transmissions, Rob George, is known for his technical expertise as well as the ded ication and loyalty he has shown his customers since the business opened decades ago.
This is a family-run op eration that depends on its reputation for excellence and quality workmanship to compete in the world of auto repair. Rob and his talented crew are 100% committed to servicing your car with professionalism and efficiency so you can be on the way to your destination as planned this year.
Few things on a car are as difficult to fix as the transmission, and this is not a job for home mechanics. You also don’t want to be stuck on a deserted highway
with any car problems! If your car is suddenly grinding, slamming, or just not going into gear, you most likely have a transmission problem on your hands.
Quaker Transmissions provides outstanding repair work for electronic, axle, 4 x 4, and transmission problems, as well as performs
expert clutch replacements and repairs on all automobiles and light trucks, both foreign and domestic. They handle all automatic and manual transmissions and provide the ever-important preventive maintenance work to extend the life of your transmission.
Don’t put off automotive repairs if you are worried about cost! Contact Barbara George at the office to discuss financing options. To help manage the costs, Quaker Transmissions offers financing through Synchrony Financial®. For those who quality, there is no interest on your bill if paid in
full within six months. Barbara will walk you through the benefits of Synchrony®. Quaker Transmissions is located at 67 Tiogue Avenue, Route 3, in West Warwick. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00a.m. – 5:00p.m. Quaker Transmissions can be reached at 401-826-2800 (Fax 823-8310).

Applicant: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (c/o Steven Fusco)

1920 Nooseneck Hill Road
Applicant proposes to develop a three-story, 75,000 GSF commercial self-storage building as an addition to its existing self-storage complex. The application will be heard by the Planning Commission via Unified Development Review, as the applicant is seeking zoning variances for the building design elements proposed for this site (which is located within a Special Planning Overlay District) as well as for the proposed number of loading spaces. The applicant also seeks a reduction in the number of required parking spaces.

The commercial project would include 48,000 GSF of commercial space, with a mix of retail, restaurant, drive-thru, and gas station/convenience store uses. The multifamily residential project would include 218 units across four buildings, 18% of which would be deed-restricted as affordable housing.
