I drove past Tony in September 2008 and he's still standing and in good shape. A sight to see!
[Gunnar Johnson, 12/08/2008]Asked the owner what his name was and the reply was "Tony."
[Ashley and Ozwald Graves, 05/18/2005]The MM at Tony's Transmissions is located on Cesar Chavez at Eastern.

According to an eyewitness, the missing "Latinized" Muffler Man in East LA is back! The owner claims some guys in "Hollywood" came and "rented" it for a couple of days. Other recent cameos: Jersey Muffler Man in the opening titles of HBO's The Sopranos; brief "rack job" shot in a Saturn commercial.
