A lot of transmission shops have come and gone in Renton during the past 27 years, our shop has remained successful because of our quality and integrity. We make all repairs as if our own family member will be driving the car. We also stand behind our work 100% or more. On the rare occasions that someone has a problem we do our best to make it right. Sometimes that means honoring a warranty that may be expired or simply taking into account that something should have not failed. I also only employ people I can trust to work on my own car. I see work that comes from other shops and I need to know that everything that leaves our shop is done correctly!
Two time Best of Renton Winner for Best Tavern/Bar. We serve the Downtown Renton Community by serving incredible food, 18 terrific craft beers and great cocktails. Come down to one of our monthly comedy shows, to play pinball, shuffleboard, golden tee, or to watch the Sounders, Mariners, or Seahawks . The Local 907 is a great place to be entertained, meet new people or hang out with friends.

Walk into Cugini Florists & Fine Gifts and the first thing you’ll notice is the beautiful fragrance of the day’s fresh blooms. And, if you’re lucky, you’ll be noticed by the shop’s two greeter cats, Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger. The next thing you’ll see is the dazzling variety of unique gifts in beautiful color-coordinated displays. You may forget that you’re actually in a flower shop. Explore a bit farther and you’ll find the source of the fragrance: buckets overflowing with a colorful variety of fresh flowers and a display cooler filled with dozens of beautiful bouquets ready for delivery and carry-out. This isn’t just any flower shop though. Cugini Florists & Fine Gifts has been designated as Washington’s only Teleflora Top 100 shop. That means the experts at Cugini’s have the know-how to help you get flowers delivered across town, across the country or around the world. They’ve had years of practice; Bill Gaw and Sharon Landes, the owners, have been here since 1984 when they bought the shop from Dario Cugini. The original business, started by Dario’s parents in Auburn, began in 1923. And the shop’s current location began in 1947 as Betz Flowers. Cugini’s has built their reputation by providing friendly, professional service and quality products to both public and commercial customers. Floral design styles and techniques have changed through the years and Cugini’s staff stays current so they can continue to provide fresh flowers, beautifully designed that last longer. Cugini’s selection of flowers includes all the “everyday” varieties and seasonal blooms sourced from the USA, South America and Canada and exotic flowers ship directly from Hawaii. Besides flowers they also offer balloons, Sweet Shop USA truffles, greeting cards, tropical and blooming plants, stuffed animals and a unique selection of gifts from around the world. Sending flowers can be an emotional occasion, whether joy, celebration, hope or sorrow, and the experts at Cugini’s will make sure that your message comes through loud and clear.
