Israel's Transmissions & Parts House

At a very tender age of 22, Israel Fuentes came to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1978. Israel became employed at a local automotive transmission shop and gradually began tearing down transmissions and rebuilding them in a “self-taught” system. Israel immediately possessed and manifested the art of the internal combustion of the transmission. Israel assisted ATRA and other transmission seminars during the next 15 years. Thereafter, Israel became the first Hispanic on a local television station to appear in a fully bilingual English and Spanish commercial, which caused an uninadvertant racial stir in the Las Vegas community in the early 1980s.

In 1987, Israel formally opened “Friendly Automotive & Transmissions”, which was located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Friendly Automotive & Transmissions eventually became “Israel’s Transmissions”.

During the mid to late 1980s, Israel’s Transmissions was the first Hispanic owned and operated business operating as a fully bilingual and bi-cultural automotive transmission shop emphasizing on both serving mid and lower class community. Thus by working weekends to benefit the working class and being accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the entire community in both the English and Spanish language.
