I had a really good experience. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. They did several repairs on my vehicle, some of which other places weren’t capable of doing. Mike and Alex were both wonderful to work with. They made sure everything was done well and even offered to drive me home after I dropped off my car. I’m not sure of the names of the other mechanics who worked on my car but they did a great job, it drives just like before it started having problems. I plan to go back to them in the future if the need arises.

Don’t take your car here!! It’s just awful. They have major issues with the staff and management and in turn, your car will sit for 2+ years like mine did. Don’t do it! Edit: It’s under my husband’s name. It was a 2012 Ford Focus and it was there for over 2 years. No exaggeration there.


Jan 09, 2025

if it’s anything major, go somewhere else. My vehicle sat for a year with promise after promise it would be finished. I needed my transmission replaced and instead of saying they couldn’t do it, they just lie and keep it for ever and ever. Wouldn’t give a refund either. Don’t waste your money or time. There’s a reason their shop is packed full of vehicles that sit there forever. this review is correct. Don’t tell me I have the wrong business. 😂

They are literally scammers who lie about their service. Please take your vehicle to an actual dealership for the transmission service it needs.


Dec 06, 2024

Alex took care of me and was very friendly, would recommend.


Dec 06, 2024

Always the best and honest around ! They do honest quality work , truthful from the start to finish , I’ve gone several other places and this is the only one that has earned my business for all future repairs !


Dec 06, 2024

I had the transmission in my 03 Cadillac rebuilt here. I couldn’t be happier. They are super nice people and do a fantastic job. I highly recommend coming here if you need any transmission work!


Dec 06, 2024

I was recently on a trip and my transmission went out and these guys got me back on the road within a few days!


Dec 06, 2024

Mike and the guys at the shop were great. They worked with my warranty company to make sure my transmission was taken care of. Thanks guys


Dec 06, 2024

Transmission starting going out one day took it to this shop they got me back on the road in no time. Quick and cost effective!!


Nov 06, 2024

I had never had to have a transmission rebuilt before but I can say that Mike really set my mind at ease through the process. I called several times and every time I did he would answer my questions or just listen to my concerns and never made me feel bad about anything. He was very friendly and always professional and I truly appreciate him for that! I was also very impressed with how clean and orderly the front office and waiting area were as well! Kudos to you, Mike! 😊

By far the worst experience with a mechanic shop I have ever had. My car has been at their lot on and off for 2.5 years. They have put 3 different motors in my car and my problem to this day is still not fixed. I have paid over 7,000 dollars and have not been able to keep my car for over 2 weeks. Do not give this shop your vehicle by any means, there are way too many things wrong with this company.


Oct 06, 2024

Look I seen bad reviews I seen good reviews ,but that’s across the board with transmissions,I get it it sucks to have one go out,I knew mine was having problems They broke it down and showed me cost me up front ,I wouldn’t pull a transmission and break it down without a charge,and then what if someone says their not fixing it ,yeah I’m ok with This up front charge,anyway they found the problem,decided because of damage I could get a trans with a 3 year warranty,they ordered Put it in 3 days later I’m rolling down the road, All good still I have no negatives for this company only positive,good job TCOA


Oct 06, 2024

My car was low on trans fluid after radiator replacement and so I brought it here, charged me $97.02 for “half hour of labor” and the ol’ boy said the car was good. It was actually not good. Took the car to RT Clapp on Magnolia Ave, they added 1 quart of trans oil and charged $44.67 and now the car drives like it’s supposed to.

***Final update*** after many months of getting the run around, we filed a fraud chargeback with our CC company and got our 8000 back from TCA. Very disappointed in their lack of service. We started working directly with Cunningham Ford and spent the same 8000 and got the truck's engine replaced and back within a month. Ford place was great. Transmission Corp of America was ultimately UNRELIABLE. ****Dec12023**** Still don't have new engine in truck or transmission leak under warranty repaired. We have fooled with this place since July. No promises on work or delivery were fulfilled. TCA promised they would make it good and transferred truck to Lance Cunningham Ford. Truck has been at Ford place 3 weeks with zero communication from TCA. *****New Update**** New engine is supposed to be ready on Monday. If that happens satisfactorily, I will reupdate this review. I did receive a call back today. *****Update***** 9 months later and supposedly a new engine that I can not get calls back on or any answers on...my truck has been sitting there for 2 months. I don't know what changed between Jan and now except Mike is no longer employed there and their communication is non existent. I can NO LONGER recommend this business. **** previous review before transmission leak and needing new engine**** I highly recommend Transmission Corp of America. I had to get a new transmission in my 1995 Ford truck. They diagnosed the problem and provided quick, professional, and affordable service. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable.

Good place


Sep 06, 2024

Randall the new manager down here is awesome, i had made a bad comment about the old management a few weeks ago and by far its a night and day experience with the new guys in there. Wouldnt hesitate to take my cars down there now


Sep 06, 2024

This was my first visit here, everyone was friendly and they did a great job.


Sep 06, 2024

What a team!! Randall, Davis and Chuck pulled together to get me back on the road just hours after my passenger side ball joint failed on my way to work that morning. I never would have imagined that a repair such as this could have been done in hours, albeit on a Saturday as well. Great team and great service thanks again guys!


Aug 06, 2024

I’ve used this place a few times over the years, the staff has always taken care of me. Stopped in with an issue and within the hour they had me back on the road.


Aug 06, 2024

Was told my transmission pump or flywheel was going bad and it would be $1400 to look at. Took it to a shop and it turned out to be my motor mounts . So glad I got second opinion because I would have been out $1400


Aug 06, 2024

Wonderful full service auto repair shop.. The owner has owned for 30 years and the experience was great..I would definitely recommend them for anything.. fixed my car and everything was absolutely perfect..


Jun 06, 2024

Alex and David were so helpful. I can’t even express how great they are to work with. Extremely professional and time sensitive. 10/10 would recommend and visit again.


May 06, 2024

Do not come here if you are looking for an honest mechanic. Was told on the phone that the diagnostic for transmission issue would be free. Once they pulled it into the shop someone came out and said it would be 1200 dollars just for them to diagnose the issue and they needed the money then and there. Dishonest bait amd switch. I cannot recommend a shop that is not transparent with their customers.


May 06, 2024

I had my transmission rebuilt a few years ago, and it was great! I have sence returned for additional work.


May 06, 2024

Very nice people, quick, recommended from our trusted mechanic and great service! Thank you!


Apr 06, 2024

Amazing staff here. They are friendly and helpful. I don’t usually trust too many people under the hood of my vehicle but I definitely trust them. They are helpful and amazing to work with. I totally recommend them.


Apr 06, 2024

Got a piece of wood of all things in the tire while in Knoxville 150 miles from home , happen to roll up on this place seen the guy inside walked in talk to him and they was actually closed. He came in to do a little bit of office work for a moment, but helped us get back on the road with a tire change.!!!


Apr 06, 2024

Great automotive experience! Had to have the transmission rebuilt on my car, and they got it done in a couple of days!


Apr 06, 2024

They will tell you the wrong thing just to get your money


Mar 06, 2024

We were heading out of town, had a tire blow out and these guys were the best. Super friendly super helpful got us back on the road in 10 minutes great place
