Transmission Repair in Coldwater, MI

“I usually go to one of the bigger, corporate establishments in the area for my auto mechanical needs simply out of convenience.

So when I took my vehicle in for an oil change and received a call that I needed over 1500$ worth of work on my suspension, I was a bit alarmed. But my vehicle was driving ok and I didn’t have the money for the repairs at that time, so I decided to put it off.

A few months later, one of my tires wouldn’t hold air and I’d realized that all of them were extremely worn and it was time for new ones.

I returned to the same establishment to have new tires installed and after the installation, I was informed that the amount of work that they said I needed before seemed to increase, along with the cost.

The vehicle was still driving fine, but Im no mechanic. So before spending all that money
I decided to get a second opinion…I took my vehicle to Frank’s as I have in the past for transmission problems. I gave them the print out that was given to me for what was said was needed to be done as far as repairs.

Franks did an oil change and a thorough check on my vehicle and told me that nearly none of the repairs on the printout were in need of immediate attention. Rather I was told to get some more miles out of it and come back later (next oil change) for a check up.

This is an excellent example of a business taking care of its community.

Frank’s transmission had the perfect opportunity to tell me that everything on that list needed to be done and I probably would’ve had them do it, but instead they were honest and saved me a ton of money at this time.

Now, I’m not saying the other place was lying to me about the vehicle being in need of repairs. The truck is a daily driver and constant wear and tear is going to wear parts out. What I am saying is sometimes, corporate policy comes into play, but those policies are not always the necessary solution at that time.

You can bet that when the time does come and these repairs do need to happen, I’ll be sticking with small, local business and I’m going back to Frank’s.

Thank you for taking care of me and looking up for our community.”

“Coldwater Auto was great to work with. They got my car in quickly, figured out the issue without any hassle, and had everything taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was friendly and straightforward, and the pricing felt fair for the work done. Overall a solid, reliable shop that I wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend.”

“Was visiting a friend in the next town over on a 5-hour weekend road trip, when my car broke down. Thought she was done for since it seemed like a transmission issue. Got the car towed over to Muffler Man. Only place nearby open on Saturdays. Super friendly, fast, and fair service. Turned out to be just a few hoses were leaking. Had my old Yaris back on the road and safe for the trip home before they closed. So thankful and definitely recommend!”
