Transmission Corporation of America

I was traveling from North Carolina down to Georgia when my car stopped on the interstate. It was about 10:30 at night on Saturday and I looked for a local number in Knoxville close to the exit on Interstate 40. I found Transmission Corporation of America in the Yellow Page diretory and phoned the # listed expecting to get an answering service or machine. However, a gentleman answered and had a tow truck to pick me and my car up within the half hour. I met the manager at the shop and he even drove me to a near by hotel and told me to get a good night's sleep and not to worry. He called me the very next day and set me up with a great rental car deal so I could continue on my way to see my family in Georgia. By the time I was on my way back to North Carolina the car was fixed and all I had to do was stop in, pay , sign some paper work and pick up my car. If it wouldn/t have been for the sweet young man I delt with I don;t think I would have been able to see my family. My trip would've been ruined if it wasn't for him and his crew working so hard to get me back on the road. I appreciate the freindly service I received and I thought it was so nice to get the call the following day after I left. He just wanted to make sure I made it home safely. This man is wonderful. I wish there were more auto repair places who had the same concern and care for their customers as this man did. I wanted to let all the people in TN know how much I appreciate the hospitality I received. The made a tragic experience turn pleasant. Pros: nice to out-of-towners, Cons: none more

the expert mechanics at this place did great work and got my truck back to me very fast. the manager was extrememly polite and very professional. i got a tow in to the shop for free. a free test on the transmission. and very fast service when i told them to fix my transmission. these guys are great. i am very pleased with my experience here and will recommend everyone i know to this place. the repair bill was not expensive as i thought either. i like this place alot. Pros: nice people, expert mechanics, fast repairs Cons: none more

My experience with Transmission Corporation of America on Kingston Pike was great! All employees were friendly and knowledgeable. I had my transmission rebuilt about 2 months ago and wanted to wait before writing this review to make sure the work was really good. My car drove great when I picked it up from their shop but I wanted to make real sure it was going to last. It has been over 2 months now and it is still running like new! These folks are real good and real nice. They really know what they are doing. The manager and some lady even called me a few days after I left their shop just to check on me and my car. I also received a thank you card in the mail the following week. I would recommend these guys to anyone, even my mother! Pros: nice people , great work Cons: none more

I want to let everyone know what great care and concern was given to me when I had my 1989 Ford truck fixed at Transmission Corporation of America on Clinton Hwy. James the manager was very nice. He checked my truck out and took me into the shop to show me what my transmission fluid in the pan looked like when they took it off. Then he was honest with me about not knowing how much it would be to fix it until they took out the tranmsission and opened it up to see the inside of it. I ok'd them to take it out and open it up to see what's gone wrong inside. He had his secretary give me a ride all the way back to my job in Seymour and did not charge me a penny for her time or gas. When he called me later that day with the price to actually fix the tranny, he did not realize I had called around to see how much the Ford place would charge me and I had also called 3 other tranny shops, 1 in Seymour and 2 in Knoxville. I already had a price from 4 other places before he called me with his price and I was expecting him to say the same thing they did. I was surprised to hear James' price because it was hundreds of dollars LESS than anyone elses prices. He even gave me a national warranty good all over the country. I was really impressed then. He wanted me to come and see the damage so I did. I don't know how those guys do it, but wow what a big jigsaw puzzle it looked like inside that tranny! He took the time to explain how and why my tranny conked out. I told him fine, and go ahead to fix it. It was ready the very next morning! WOW!!!!! That is really the old time service I remember back in my day and you just can;t find it too many places anymore. If you are looking for that old time service you should go to Transmission Corp. of America!!! Pros: old fashioned service and quality repair Cons: none more

Transmission America was great! I called several different companies before letting them tow my van. The first place told me over the phone I needed a transmission and it would cost over $3,000.00. when I called Transmission America they told me they would check it free and even do a computer scan at no charge. When they finished the tests they called and said it was only a external sensor and to replace it would be about $150.00. I can't believe I almost fell for the 3 other shops I spoke with who told me the transmission should be rebuilt. I am so glad I decided to let Transmission America take care of my van, and take care of me. They explained exactly what was wrong with my car and I knew exactly what it would cost to fix it before he did anything to my van. I would recommend this place to anyone. They were wonderful and I trust them completely. I will never take my van anywhere else for work. Pros: quick repair time, free towing, free delivery of my van, informative, courteous and trustworthly Cons: none more

The sign says "free computer scan" it is not free because he will pull the transmission out without authorization and charge you 400.00-700.00 and if you can not pay it he will place a lein on it and then sell the car without authorization. He doesn't care if the automobile is financed or not. This is FRAUD! if it happens to you, call your finance company and report it, call your local police and report it and call Don Dare at WATE. Also check out the investigative report that Don Dare did on this company. Pros: none Cons: unethical behavior more

I was broke down on I-75 and I 640. I was having transmission trouble and called my husband. After talking to my husband and his coworkers I was told that Transmission Corp of America had a good repore with local residents. So I called them TCOA and told them my situation and within 46 minutes I was riding in the tow truck and headed to TCOA on clinton hwy. As soon as we pulled in I was greeted with a smile which by this time I needed to see a happy face. I had an appt with a real estate agent and needed to have my car back on the road as soon as possible and within minutes I was told that I needed to leave my car and have repairs done. The manager asked if I needed a ride or did I want to rent a car? I chose to have a family member pick me up. Within 24 hrs I was up and running again and still running like a new car. I would like to end by saying thanks to TCOA Staff and all the hard work to reassure my beliefs in Automotive Care Center. They will always take care of my personel vehicles and will spread the good word. Thanks again Pros: customer service and loyalty Cons: quality more
