Popular FAQ's
What are the signs of transmission trouble?
Common symptoms of a bad transmission include: trouble shifting between gears, slipping gears, delayed acceleration, whining or humming noises, a burning smell, or leaking red fluid under your vehicle. If you notice any of these signs, bring your vehicle in for a free diagnostic—driving with transmission problems can lead to more extensive (and expensive) damage.
How much does transmission repair cost?
For any vehicle repair, the cost varies based on the nature and severity of the repair needed. Stop by our South Memphis shop for a free transmission inspection, and we'll provide all repair options along with upfront pricing—no surprises, no pressure. We also offer financing to qualified applicants on all services.
Can I drive with a transmission problem?
Even if your vehicle is still operational, we never recommend that you continue to drive with transmission problems. Minor symptoms like delayed shifting or slipping can escalate into major failure, especially if you tow or drive in stop-and-go traffic. Drive directly to a transmission shop for a diagnostic—it's a safety risk to you and others on the road. Drive safely, Memphis!
Does Coleman Taylor work on CVT transmissions?
We replace CVT transmissions.
Do we honor Extended Warranties?
Yes, we do! We want you to utilize your investment and work hard with your warranty company to repair your vehicle so you can get back on the road again - safely!
Do you repair transfer cases?
Yes, we do! We are happy to provide a complimentary diagnostic first, then give you all repair options (if any), along with up-front pricing.
