Absolute Transmission Increases Visibility via U-Haul Dealership
CHARLESTON, TENN. (April 23, 2015) – Absolute Transmission used alphabetical tactics to get its name on people’s radar.
Now it’s relying on superior work and customer-friendly affiliations like U-Haul to keep it there.
“I wanted to be first in the phonebook,” store owner David Martin said. “I just picked something that started with ‘a’ so my business would be the first thing people see.”
The addition of U-Haul products has guaranteed people moving into the Charleston community will turn to Absolute Transmission at 546 Lauderdale Memorial Hwy. NW, located directly off Interstate 75 north of Cleveland, for all of their moving needs.
As a new U-Haul neighborhood dealer, Absolute Transmission offers U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, support rental items and in-store pick-up for boxes. Reserve U-Haul products at this dealer by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Charleston-TN or calling (423) 336-5401 today.
Hours of operation for U-Haul business are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-noon Saturday. After-hours drop-off is available for U-Haul customers.
Many of the U-Haul rentals at Absolute Transmission come from workers in growing industries, Martin said. Construction on a nearby solar plant has attracted many customers with U-Haul needs.
Martin, a member of the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA), has his Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification and handles the mechanic work. His wife, Amanda, charms the customers and handles the U-Haul rentals.
Martin opened Absolute Transmission in 2006 and moved to the Charleston location in 2012, joining the U-Haul network in late 2014.
“I was tired of it being all about numbers and the money goals,” Martin said. “I wanted it to be about customers.”

U-Haul and Absolute Transmission are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
Absolute Transmission is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
