"I am a single woman who also thought I had a coolant problem. I even believed I could smell anti freeze while I was driving my car! It turned out to be the sensor. I'm always afraid I'm going to get ripped off when I take my car in but I don't have that feeling with Cecil's. I have been to the Olive Branch facility and I went to the new place on Houston Levee. I will go back if I have any other issues. I have complete confidence in them." - Jenny K of Olive Branch MS

"These guys are awesome! my parents have been using them for probably close to 20 years - since they were on Winchester (the Hickory Hill area). Now they've moved further east to Collierville (Houston Levee (at Winchester) (the old Winchester location and the midtown (Union Ave.) location have both closed)).   They are friendly, fast and efficient - and seem to be honest and fair.  I had a lot of work done last summer - including buying new tires from them.  I discovered I had a nail in one of my tires which was causing a slow leak, so I took my car in and not even thirty minutes later and FREE OF CHARGE my tire was repaired and I was good to go. I highly recommend Cecil's and as long as I live in Memphis, this is where I'll take my car for service." - Megan S from Memphis TN

"I've moved three times since I lived in Memphis, but when I discovered an old business card from Cecil's, I had to write a review- they were by far the most friendly, generous and fair mechanics I've ever dealt with. I brought a stream of pre-owned cars I was considering buying to Cecil's and they gave me a frank list of the good and ugly on each, and then refused to let me pay.   I'd recommend them to anyone!"  - Shannon M from Seattle WA

"Excellent fast and fair! These guys are so nice and genuine. Service is quick and excellent. They have earned our loyalty."  - Sarah W, Germantown Memphis TN

"I love Cecil's Automotive, especially the Goodman location in Olive Branch MS. They do a great job and Jerod will do whatever it takes to satisfy his customers. Great mechanics, great service and the guy that works the counter up front is great too." - Danny G.

"Great service with fair pricing and always quality work.  I have been using them for 23 years and recommend them to everyone I know." - Mike

Car Exterior care tips include:
1. Protect car paint from the sun:  Paint does more than make your vehicle look great. It’s also the first line of defense against rusted body panels. Of course, the best way to protect the paint is to park the car in a garage. If that is not possible, park in the shade or purchase a car cover. The sun’s ultraviolet rays break down paint and cause it to fade. Some car covers protect your car from more than sun, moisture, bird droppings, and dust — they also have a thin layer of cushioning that will guard against light impact, such as from a tipped bicycle or small falling tree branch.

2. Touch up nicks sooner rather than later  Touch-up paint won’t adhere well to rust. So be sure to keep some matching touch-up paint on hand so you can touch up any minor nicks, often found around door edges, before rust has a chance to form.
