Manual transmissions are generally more reliable than automatic transmissions. They don’t have as many parts, aren’t as complex, and can take a lot more abuse. However, if an issue is allowed to persist, more and more damage to surrounding components on your manual transmission will occur. Cecil's Automotive in Collierville, TN and Olive Branch, MS can help you take care of your car as soon as you notice a problem.

Since the first automobiles, there have been radiators. Every liquid-cooled engine on the road has, and has always needed, a radiator; without it, the engine would overheat in no time, causing catastrophic engine failure. While the efficiency of radiators, the materials they’re made out of, and the shape and size of them have changed over time, radiators haven’t actually changed much over the last century or so. At Cecil's Automotive we know that even though radiators generally last a long time, they do occasionally fail. When your radiator is malfunctioning you can trust our technicians to repair yours and get you back on the road.

Neal was more than willing to help me with what I thought my problem was, as unconventional as it was. Even better was him identifying the ACTUAL problem, accurately quoting me price and times over the phone, and getting me out of there quickly on a Friday. Cannot recommend this place and staff enough. Wish I had gone sooner, I would’ve saved a good bit of money and headache. Customer for life. - Terry V. (5 star review on Google)
