Magic Mike Review
First thing's first: Magic Mike delivers on the eye candy. Club Xquisite the wildest male strip club in Tampa sports an ensemble of muscled men ready to flash their ridiculous moves in even more ridiculous dance numbers (this crew has never seen a pair of assless pants they didn't like). Bringing a few dollar bills to the movie is recommended — Magic Mike is shot up close and personal enough that flailing them about will come naturally.
But between the codpieces air humping and penis pumps Magic Mike tells a surprisingly relatable funny and poignant parable centered on a character all too familiar to anyone with an ounce of ambition. Mike (Channing Tatum) leads a triple life: By day he's a roof tiler; by night an exotic dancer; and in his dreams he's a furniture craftsman and entrepreneur. When Mike first crosses paths with Adam (Alex Pettyfer) his worries about the future are dispelled slipping right into mentor mode to show the 19-year-old the wonders of sex drugs and rock and roll. Adam's broke and without direction — the perfect state of being for a stripper-in-the-making. Mike's sales pitch is irresistible and when Adam unwillingly takes the stage for the first time he feels the rush of a dozen woman screaming groping and stuffing singles down his jock strap. There's no question: A stripper's life is a journey worth embarking on.
In his typical fashion director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic Erin Brockovich) defies conventions sticking with Mike's ups and downs rather than transforming Magic Mike into a Goodfellas-esque "newbie in over his head" story. Between playing protector to the mesmerized Adam and attempting to strike up an actual relationship with Adam's sister Brooke (Cody Horn) Mike finds himself for the first time looking inward. Does a job define a man? He's convinced it doesn't but as Adam loses himself to the profession becoming the Xquisite's cutthroat owner Dallas' (the wonderfully slimy Matthew McConaughey) right-hand man and parlaying the gig into more dangerous ventures Mike realizes breakdancing in thongs may be more poisonous to his dreams than he ever realized.
Exploitation Magic Mike is not. The film's dance sequences are sexy and sleek but only to clue the audience into the job's allure. Backstage is equally important; Soderbergh does an amazing job constructing the boy's club atmosphere that keeps Mike and Adam coming back. Lively characters like Ken (Matt Bomer) and Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello) say little but speak volumes in the background of every scene. They're palling around and when they finally do reach out to Adam to profess their friendship it makes perfect sense. For a guy without a family the dancers are a perfect replacement.
While the cast is stellar Tatum continues his streak of star-making performances in the role of Mike. Obviously the man can dance — and he blows any memories of Step Up into oblivion. Beyond that he's perfectly in tune with Soderbergh's naturalistic style cool on his feet with the comedy and devastatingly subtle in the drama. His rapport with Horn who is equally striking in her casual approach is sweet and real a constant reminder that even a guy who lap dances in a fireman costume for a living has feelings too. Soderbergh enhances each of his performers with spot on photography: His Tampa is gritty and yellow-tinged the interior of the club a safe haven from the blase nature of reality. Magic Mike carries a full package.
Magic Mike hits all the right notes of comedy and drama that's completely unexpected in the summer blockbuster surroundings. Come for the stripping stay for the high-caliber filmmaking. Magic Mike is one of the year's best.

Hey There,
I spied a post you replied to about distributor questions. We are a year old production brewery, all draught, that self distributes and has a taproom model. We are thinking about upping our production and going to a distributor rather than self-distributing. I worry about a lot of things by going to a distributor. Cleaning lines regularly, keeping our beer cold, caring about our beer as much as any one else's, etc. Even if these things are in the contracts, from what I hear distributors regularly break the rules, so to what extent are these rules enforceable, and how to you get them to play by your rules?
Thanks in advance if you have time to reply.

April 13, 2015 What is the harm of just one Granny Star dishcloth?
I learned to crochet granny squares from my grandma, when I was little. I thought it was such a hoot to learn them and really went over the top making them for a while. A long while! But, had more or less forgotten all about crochet when the knitting bug attacked me. Until last week. Someone […]

What you need to know before you go
Stockholm's reputation as a snow-and-noir-tinged capital of imposing architecture, pale dusks, and moon-struck nights is at best a half-truth. There's certainly a classical touch to the hippest of the Nordic cities, but beneath the cozy cafes, pristine winter mornings, and long summer evenings, is a vibrant not-so-secret modern city. From trendy Södermalm to fairytale-esque Gamla Stan, Stockholm offers a multitude of truly original delights.
Adventurous types might want to tour Stockholm's islands by kayak, while amblers will enjoy strolling its leafy boulevards, as its waterside location means a breathtaking view could be waiting around any corner.

While I support national health care, Obama's handling of the "cash for clunkers" problem raises a question: if the Public Option for ObamaCare goes through, what will the equivalent to this snafu be? And what recourse would be possible?
The White House and Congress may be giving the "cash for clunkers†program a reprieve, but one can't help wondering how many dealers and customers will have the confidence to go forward at this point. Things sound like a total mess in the showrooms.
"There is absolute frustration across the board,†Alex Kurkin, a lawyer based in Miami who represents several car dealerships, tells The Lede today. "As of this morning, they're not really confident about any deals, and no one can give them advice about what they should be telling their customers.â€
One thing still not clear is how many older cars have actually been sold and scrapped with the original $1 billion, and how many more the new $2 billion will be able to cover. Mr. Kurkin tells us that the government Web site where dealers are supposed to register their deals has been crashing, and the dealers haven't been able to plug in their information.
via Dealers Race to Get Their Clunkers Crushed – The Lede Blog – NYTimes.com.
Every large program makes mistakes. And we know the flaws of our current system. Obama and his allies should explain the ways in which the ObamaCare Public Option is likely to blow up, so we can have an honest debate.

Hot Pick: Q1 Labs QRadar 5.0
Q1 Labs QRadar 5.0
QRadar 5.0
Q1 Labs
Price: Starts at $37,000
Q1 Labs QRadar 5.0
Q1 Labs' major upgrade, adding full SIM capability on its existing deep packet inspection technology, gives it unique detection capabilities
There are many ways to assess threats to your enterprise--IDSes, vulnerability assessment tools and logs from every security and network device you have. Monitoring each of these and culling useful data from the sheer volume of information is a daunting task. Security information management systems (SIMs) address this growing problem by normalizing, correlating and analyzing the hodge-podge of data to produce actionable intelligence.
SIMs are maturing to a level where they are practical and effective, and Q1 Labs has moved to the forefront with its innovative QRadar 5.0. This version marks a major overhaul of the product, as Q1 Labs has integrated a SIM engine with its existing anomaly-based detection technology. The result is a next-generation SIM that correlates and analyzes both security and live network information.
QRadar starts by collecting data from a variety of sources. Event data from devices like firewalls, IDSes, system logs, routers and switches allows QRadar to detect and track emerging threats. Vulnerability data can be collected from several different assessment tools, including Nessus, allowing QRadar to identify known threats.
It's a robust SIM, with support for almost any device, but what sets QRadar apart is its ability to correlate event data with anomaly detection based on its traffic inspection. QRadar natively learns network flows using its proprietary QFlow. Unlike other traffic-monitoring systems, QFlow performs deep-packet inspection to identify applications rather than relying on port numbers for application detection. This gives QRadar a more accurate look at the network and the ability to detect anomalous traffic.
All of this data is churned through its Judicial System Logic, which analyzes and judges the data to create offenses that provide a clear view of network threats.
The result is an accurate picture of threats and the over-all state of network security. False positives are sharply re-duced as SIM logic is overlaid with network activity.
QRadar 5.0 is available in three appliance models (we tested the 2101 All-in-One Appliance), depending on network size, or as a software package for large enterprises.
QRadar is configured and displayed through a rich GUI. The Web- and Java-based console allows you to use any system that supports Java to administer the device.
Exec Summary
- Accurate threat modeling
- Flexible dashboard
- Good reporting engine
- Wide device support
- Steep learning curve
The user-friendly dashboard is highly flexible and easy to navigate. You can configure different views for each user, providing a real-time view of the data giving you a clear picture of your network security. The myriad options available for viewing and drilling down into the dashboard information may be overwhelming at first, and it will take a while to be comfortable enough to get the most out of QRadar. However, its extensive help pages will guide you through the learning curve.
The reporting module provides a number of built-in reports for viewing security risks. Reports can be customized, delivered and exported.
Q1 Labs has delivered an innovative product to meet the demand for effective enterprise network security management. QRadar is a powerful package, and, after learning the ropes, is easy to use. With diligent use, it will help any enterprise rein in and analyze all of the data from point security devices on the network.

Mitt Romney has promised to "repeal and replace ObamaCare," but he is not for "getting rid of all" of the president's signature healthcare reform. And if he gets to preserve all the features of the Affordable Care Act that he likes, there may not be much replacing to do.
In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press September 9, Romney said people with pre-existing conditions and adults under age 26 would not lose their guarantee of coverage if he succeeds in getting the Democrats' healthcare law repealed.
"Well, of course not," Romney said. "I say we're going to replace Obamacare. And I'm replacing it with my own plan. And, you know, even in Massachusetts where I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people." The Affordable Care Act requires that young adults will be eligible for coverage under their parents' healthcare plans until age 26.
"So you'd keep that part of the federal plan?" host David Gregory asked.
"Well, I'm not getting rid of all of healthcare reform," the Republican candidate replied. "Of course, there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I'm going to put in place. One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their — their family up to whatever age they might like. I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company."
Romney was neither asked about nor did he mention the most controversial feature of the healthcare law, the requirement that people not otherwise covered either purchase health insurance or pay a penalty for not doing so. The healthcare reform that Romney championed and signed into law in Massachusetts included the same requirement, though the former governor has said he opposes the individual mandate at the federal level.
The federal mandate withstood a constitutional challenge when the Supreme Court issued its decision in June of this year that the penalty for not buying health insurance falls within the taxing power of Congress. Supporters of the law have said the mandate is an essential feature of the overall plan and is necessary to provide the premium base the insurance companies will need to insure those with pre-existing conditions and others who are currently uninsured.
The pledge to make repeal of ObamaCare the primary goal of the next president was a theme shared by Romney's rivals in the GOP primary campaigns, many of whom questioned the former governor's bona fides on the subject. The Massachusetts healthcare reform, commonly called "Romneycare," is widely regarded as the model for the plan Obama and congressional Democrats enacted four years later. As a candidate for the party's nomination, Romney was repeatedly forced to defend the Massachusetts law and explain why he opposed essentially the same legislation at the federal level.
Romney, who described himself in the Meet the Press interview as someone "as conservative as the Constitution," has yet to explain where in the Constitution he finds the power delegated to Congress to prescribe the terms of insurance policies and to mandate whom insurance companies must cover. The clause (Article I, Section 8) that authorizes Congress to "regulate Commerce with foreign Nations and among the several States, and with Indian Tribes" is a delegation of power to regularize the rules of trade, not to dictate the content of the goods or services that may be traded. The primary aim was to prevent states from levying their own imposts or tariffs on foreign imports or upon goods shipped from one state to another, as occurred under the Articles of Confederation. That concern was well described in the December 5, 1787 edition of the Massachusetts Centinel:
For if one State makes a law to prohibit foreign goods of any kind, or to draw a revenue, from any imposition upon such goods, another State is sure to take the advantage, and to admit such goods free of costs. By this means it is well known how the trade of Massachusetts is gone to Connecticut, and that for want of a revenue, our own State taxes are increased.
In the 20th century, the Commerce Clause has been interpreted broadly enough to make the regulatory power of the federal government virtually limitless. The Supreme Court has ruled, for example, that even a crop both grown and consumed on a landowner's own farm or field is subject to regulation as interstate commerce. (See Wickard v. Filburn, 1942 and Gonzalez v. Raich, 2005.)
Romney has defended the Massachusetts healthcare reform, while insisting that he opposes a "one size fits all" solution to healthcare problems for the entire country. But by preserving essential features of ObamaCare, he would ensure that healthcare would remain a federal program indefinitely, if not forever. And his enthusiasm for national healthcare transcends national as well as state boundaries. Speaking at a campaign fundraiser in Jerusalem this summer, Romney praised Israel's healthcare program:
Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the G.D.P. in Israel? Eight percent. You spend eight percent of G.D.P. on health care. You're a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our G.D.P. on health care, 10 percentage points more. That gap, that 10 percent cost, compare that with the size of our military — our military which is 4 percent, 4 percent. Our gap with Israel is 10 points of G.D.P. We have to find ways — not just to provide health care to more people, but to find ways to fund and manage our health care costs.
Israel has a universal healthcare system that includes an individual mandate, but chances are we won't hear Romney praising the Israeli approach to healthcare while he is promising to "repeal and replace" ObamaCare here in "the homeland."

Hay season
Most of our neighbors have already made the first cutting of hay. About 99% of the hay was put into big round bales, like these. In most fields, the bales are numerous, thanks to ample spring rains.
It's been hot this week, and most days we've also had a strong wind. Those who were making hay had no problem getting it to cure. The hot wind dried the sap out of the hay in short order.
Farm machines are raising a lot of dust in the fields, lately. We could use a rain, but I don't see much hope in our forecast. Over the next week, our best chance for precipitation is 30%.

Go Back to find more Pomegranate Wine articles!
A Fruit Wine You Can Proudly Serve Your In-Laws
Posted December 10, 2010
Blog.Wine-Accessorized.com By wineaccguy
At the office, we are nothing if not dedicated cooks. Holiday celebrations are an excuse for everyone to demonstrate their flair for kitchen artistry while getting the opportunity to nosh on a multitude of culinary delights. For our Thanksgiving feast, while most of us brought potluck dishes, I provided a few bottles of pomegranate wine as a "liquid cranberry sauce." At least, that's how I deemed it. It was more an excuse to serve alcohol in lieu of cooking.
The wines were part of a sample pack sent to me by Twin Pomegranates, a Pomegranate winemaker based in Madera, California. They provided me with a flat pomegranate wine, a sparkling pomegranate wine, and a pomegranate-Chardonnay blend, all grown and produced in California. For the feast, I opted for the sparkling and flat pomegranate wines, saving the blend for another occasion. The goal here was to see how these wines would fare as a holiday wine pairing, an unconventional addition to Christmas or New Years. Something a bit fruitier just strikes me as being festive.
The Wines
Both wines had a similar color: a dark brick-red and orange blend, turning a deep golden orange at the edge. Their translucency, like the last pomegranate wine I reviewed, is impeccable. The color, while unusual for a grape wine, is indicative of purity in a non-vinifera wine. Ever seen fresh juice pressed from a strawberry? It will have the exact same earthy gradient of color as the wines to the right.
The nose is not the best quality of these wines. Both have a slightly sour, lightly pungent pomegranate scent, not exactly off-putting but not as enticing as they could be either. It smells a bit dusty, dry, but the fruit scent you get is pure pomegranate. No alcohol heat, no imbalance is detectable in the nose.
The flavor of both wines is startlingly dry and crisp. With only 3% residual sugar, they offer a delightfully active texture, nothing too flabby or cloying. The alcohol (13.3% in the sparkling, 13.4% in the flat) provides an intense backbone without adding even a hint of alcohol flavor. The flavor begins a little bit seedy, owing to the intense acidity and lack of sugar. Once the initial shock to the palate wears off, the flavor fades into a very cool, very pure pomegranate flavor that rides out a decent finish. The sparkling wine adds an extra powdery, bacterial dimension to the flavor, a complexity standard with sparkling wines.
As for pairing, this wine paired with a variety of dishes, with two caveats. Don't pair it with very salty dishes, as the flavor gets overwhelmed and the alcohol becomes the primary flavor. Also, because of its lack of sugar and its delicate flavor, it handles spice very poorly. It'll do quite nicely for your Christmas dinner, at least unless you plan on having a rib-eye. Turkey and chicken are immaculate pairings with this wine; ham handles the wine pretty well, but it's better to go with a sweeter cure than a saltier one. Beef and pork will chainsaw right through this wine, so avoid pairing with those.
Both wines are prime examples of fruit wine. The sparkling was preferred over the flat wine, if only because of the added complexity that bubbly provides. The flat wine continued to drink well over the next 2 days, losing very little in the way of flavor even 48 hours later. The sparkling wine, properly stoppered, is good for about 24 hours. After that, it starts to lose its vibrancy.
So, for the record, both the sparkling and the flat wines are around $10, making them delightful bargains at their price point. 6/10 for the flat, 7/10 for the sparkling. Drink and be merry.

Baird said Tuesday that it recently recruited four advisors from Morgan Stanley (MS), UBS (UBS) and other firms with about $800 million in client assets under management. Baird's new advisor teams join the employee-owned wealth management firm in Nashville, Tenn., and Edina, Minn. Also on Tuesday, Securities America said that it had expanded its branch-office development staff and hired a national director of recruiting.
The Liles Group is now with Baird in Nashville with about $585 million in assets. It is let by the father-and-son team of Malcolm and William Liles, both formerly with Morgan Stanley.
"We are honored that Malcolm [and] William… have chosen to continue their careers at Baird," said Parker Griffith, senior vice president and branch manager of Baird's Nashville office, in a statement. "Their financial expertise, dedication to client service and strong relationships throughout the community make them an excellent addition to our firm."
Malcolm Liles started his career as an advisor in 1981 with the Robinson Humphrey Co. and remained with it through several mergers and acquisitions. Son William joined Morgan Stanley in 2010, after working with Regions Bank and Credit Suisse Securities.
The Brennan Group comes to Baird in Edina, Minn., with roughly $215 million in client assets. It is led by Gerald Brennan, formerly with UBS, and Jim Seidel, an ex-Northern Trust advisor.
Brennan's career in financial services has spanned more than 35 years, including stints with First National Bank of Minneapolis, Piper Jaffray and Hopwood. Siedel has been a financial planner for more than 17 years. His prior experience includes (in addition to Northern Trust), time with Citigroup-Smith Barney, RBC Dain Rauscher, and the Catholic Community Foundation in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
Securities America Growth
Securities America, a unit of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services (LTS), says its growing pipeline of financial advisors prompted it to add a national director of recruiting: John Behn.
"We're seeing increases in advisors at wirehouses and large independent broker-dealers who want more responsive customer service, and advisors at smaller firms who want better technology and help growing their business," said Gregg Johnson, senior vice president of branch office development and acquisitions of Securities America, in a press release.
"We have a full recruiting pipeline of advisors who tell us either they have outgrown the capabilities of their current broker-dealer, or their current broker-dealer has grown to where it no longer values them and their business," Johnson explained. "Our recruiting and transition teams welcome these advisors in a way that minimizes the disruption to their business and their clients."
Behn came to Securities America with 22 years of industry—including time as an advisor. He has worked for American Family, New York Life and Transamerica, in addition to owning his own business.
"There is great opportunity available with Securities America," Behn said, in a statement. "I am honored to work for a positive and genuine Midwest company with an executive leadership team that fully supports the creative efforts and ideas of managers and employees alike."
In addition, Securities America made several other personnel changes in its Branch Office Development team:
- Sam Briganti will implement recruiting strategies and communicate Securities America's philosophy with financial professionals seeking to align themselves with a Business Growth Expert; he came to the firm in 1997 and was promoted to director of transition and Branch Office Development support in 2009.
- Brian Strasser is the new director of transition and Branch Office Development support; he will lead the transition consultants, conduct strategic planning for transitioning offices and meet with new advisors and their staff. Strasser joins Securities America with nearly 20 years of experience in the securities industry, including 10 years with Legent Clearing.
- Matthew Witt joins the Branch Office Development team as an associate consultant; he moved to Securities America in 2012.

Mark was always kind and efficient. The work was done in a timely manner and I would highly recommend their services. Thank you thank you thank you
Almost gave up my Acadia until I came here. It wasn't even a transmission problem!
Always great help
I have gone to Transmission Corp several times . Great work and Michelle and Mike are awesome to work with. I am happy with the work they do.
The manager, Mike, is what makes this shop so great! He's available all the time, very communicative, and has THE BEST customer service. Super easy to work with, and very accommodating. He let me keep my car in his shop for four days for free while I figured out how I wanted to go about fixing the issue. He sent me pictures of the issues on my car so I would know he wasn't taking advantage of my lack of knowledge. And he worked within my time frame to make sure I'd have my car back when I needed it. I plan to go back next time I need service, and I would highly recommend it!
Mike gave a great explanation of what was going on with my car he is valuable to your company
Michelle, Mike and the other mechanics are.FANTASTIC!!! They have worked on both of our vehicles and TCA is our ONLY MECHANIC!!! They do EVERYTHING on a car!!! Not just transmissions!!! They do ACs engine repair, EVERYTHING!!!
Best people in the business and good people
Great staff in from out of town got it fixed up in a few hours
Awesome service and friendly honest staff
From a former mechanic's perspective, fantastic people to do business with. They were the last shop I called when I needed my wife's transmission replaced. She has a 2012 rogue, CVT trans. Notorious for having transmission problems. When I called and spoke with Mike, I told him I needed a quote on a new transmission. He asked me to bring it in for a free diagnosis before he would give me a quote. I immediately decided to do business with them, because they were the first to offer another solution, not just tell me it'll be "X" amount. Even after the diagnosis, he still offered to repair it, knowing I was sweating about the cost. I still requested the whole new transmission. He and Michelle both offered me a ride, and went above and beyond. Service was fast, delivered on time, fairly priced, and was a genuinely stress free process from the get go with them. They are truly kind, generous people, who are not out just to scam the next person.
This place is amazing, really is the people are really helpful and nice they work me financially and they work hard to get me approve for loan to fix my car and everything went 100 percent smoothly, for now on ,only place I would every be coming to May God bless this company
Michelle at the front desk is wonderful; she goes above and beyond to ensure that their customers leave happy. They do great work and my husband and I have taken many vehicles there. They work on much more than just transmissions and Mike is a great mechanic. I highly reccomend recommend them.
Michelle and Mike were wonderful in getting me help when my transmission was going bad! They were friendly and caring! Michelle went above and beyond to find me the best deal possible! She is the absolute best! Mike was knowledgeable and helpful! Means a lot when you having that kinda trouble!! I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their car!!!
Great service and very nice people. They care about both the customer and their vehicle.
I am so thankful I found this shop they really take pride in there service and are the most friendly people I've met! I will be a life long customer from now on
These people are really nice. I met Danny today who put new lug studs & lug nuts on my tires b/c they we're in really bad shape & it would've been dangerous to drive on. He was genuine & a very sweet person! He took care of the problem right away! I recommend this place to anyone❣
These are the most honest friendly people ive ever met. They went above and beyond to help me out even came and took me to the grocery store while my car was in the shop! I would definitely recommend them if you need car repairs done.
Michelle and Mike were so good to us throughout our whole ordeal. We cannot thank them enough!!!! If you are having transmission issues, go see them, they will work with you and do you right!!!
They were quick had great service and reasonable prices.
They are really good on working on cars in quick!!!!!!
They are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! We would recommend to anyone! Extremely nice and helpful!
Awesome experience took terrific care of my vehicle and the only place I'll take my vehicle! Ask for Mike B.
I was on rash he really helped me to make it easier for me I didn't take much long to wait l really appreciate you
Mike and his team are clearly in it for the customer. They do all types of service, stand by that work and go the extra mile to make certain the customer leaves satisfied. In my case Mike and his team were honest, which is rare in the service industry. My 2004 Ford Freestar was difficult to diagnose but Mike and his team did all they could short of pulling the transmission down, which I chose not to do based on the life already on the car. Mike and his team went above and beyond for me and this is only the second time I had my car serviced by his group. It wont be the last. I recommend Mike and his team for all automotive service needs.
The staff are nice and friendly. Always will to help where they can. Honest with the cost and labor.
Our vehicle was in need of service. We stopped by for an inspection regards a noise our vehicle was making. We were welcomed by an awesome lady who assisted us with a huge smile. A gentleman named Mike inspected our vehicle & was so professional & knowledgeable regards the outcome. Thanks a million for taking care of us & the GREAT customer service. We will certainly pass on the good works to all our contacts. Way to go Transmisson Corp of America!
After visiting two repair shops without resolve. I took my vehicle to Transmission of America. I feel the repair cost were fair and my vehicle is running better than it has in three weeks. I highly recommend this garage and will bring my car here for future repairs.
Awesome service and friendly staff. I was very impressed with them explaining to me what my car needed and how they would fix it. I will definitely use them again in the future!
Great and friendly service from top to bottom, I recently had to get work done on my car, being out of town on a work trip, this could not have happened at a worse time... I Googled near me mechanics and it suggested this shop, boy am I glad I did!!!! Had a issue with my car before I was able to drive off but Mike(my best friend abroad & a great mechanic) assured me that he would have the issue fixed in time for me to take my only off day and go back to Alabama 300 miles away! Upon my return he offered to take me to Neylan stadium for a view, it was amazing ( but I'm still screaming GO BUCKEYES!!lol) thanks so much for the expertise and friendly service! Knock out for sure!!!!!
They are absolutely magnificent! I thought my car was a lost cause and they basically performed a miracle! Michelle is very friendly and attentive, too! Definitely recommend this place!
Michael and his staff were so great!!! He put me a new transmission in and had me back on the road within 24 hrs!!! Thanks again for everything!!!
Friendly staff. Always busy make you feel like family. Mike is a very nice gentleman.
Super friendly service and got the transmission rebuilt fast

Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable staff. Michael is great to do business with.
Quick and friendly
Had them rebuild a 36 year old NP435 transmission. Price was on the high side, but considering the guarantee and number of new parts needed it was worth it. Transmission was ready when promised.
Love the people here. They are Awesome. Especially Michelle.
Transmission Corp was great with there service. Very quick I was able to call on my way in and tell them what was wrong with the truck. They ordered the parts and had a bay open waiting for me to pull into. This is very helpful when on a time crunch. Thank you transmission Corp of America for all your hard work and great customer service.
Fixed my car in a timely madder and a fair price. The staff was very helpful and stayed in touch all the time my car was there
These are the only people I trust with my vehicle. Outstanding customer service every time. I dropped my car off this morning to have my brakes looked at. Turns out a hose had collapsed. They called me two hours later and told me my car was ready. I asked how much I owed them and he told me nothing. He refused to take my money for it. That is rare these days. Very honest people.
Ok so i had the pleasure of doing business with Mike today! He is AMAZING! As is all of the other staff... All are friendly and just make the place have a great atmosphere! I had several things wrong with my car... Including the dreadful head gasket issue....Mike got me approved for financing with amazing low monthly payments and my car will be done tomorrow!! I will be reccomend this business to anyone with their car needs!! Thank yall so much!!
Thank you guys so much for fixing my bad transmission. Shifts so smooth now. See yall in 500 miles
Michael and his team are amazing! From the moment I walked through the door I was met with smiles and friendly personality. They were honest and helpful, and worked with me to get my car back on the road in a timely manner. I highly recommend anyone in the Knoxville area or passing through the Knoxville area to go to Transmission Corp. Of America for any car troubles you have.
My husband was finding small drips of transmission fluid in our driveway & then took it here to see what was wrong. They were super nice & got him in right away. They spent about a half hour trying to see where it was coming from but couldn't find anything. They said to keep an eye on it & if it happens again to bring it back, they had put some dye in it & it would show up. They charged NOTHING for that inspection. About a week or so later we found more drips so he took it back. This time they looked again & were able to see the dye & that it was just a loose bolt. When my husband asked how much to pay, Mike said not to worry about it....no charge! My husband offered to pay for their time spent twice & Mike wouldn't take it. What an awesome guy! He & Michelle we're really nice & if any work were ever needed they'd be the first place we'd go. So nice to find someone who's not out to rip people off! Thanks Mike, we appreciate you 😊
We were on vacation and our transmission went out along side of the expressway. We were told by the tow driver this was the best place. He was right very honest and helpful. We would highly recommend this business to any one!! Thank you so much for help and kindness 😊
Friendly atmosphere and people, fair prices and good work.
I must say that the new managment is far better than the last! I was informed at all times. Got my vehicle back before the anticipated date. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff. Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely the friendliest, most professional and honest people to trust to take care of your car.! Highly recommend them! Thanks Mike!
Great service! Brought my car in on Monday I was back on the road with a brand new transmission on Wednesday and they even fixed another problem that 4 other shops could never figure out! My new go to shop from now on!
I had major transmission problems while traveling through Knoxville. I can't thank them enough for getting me in and out within such a short time. Michael Cardin the District Manager even went out of his way to give me a lift 20 miles down the road.Thanks again
Just want to Thank everyone at transmission corporation of America. Everyone was very nice.and the work done to my transmission im am truly blessed. Thank you every much.i will bring my vehicle back when anything is wrong with.great people great work.Thank you every much.

Great shop and great environment I'd definitely come back to get my vehicle worked on here again! Michelle and her co workers are amazing come down and see them they will definitely help y'all out!
Great people to work with.
Friendly people
Julie & her team are the absolute best in Knoxville. So many car repair places will always try to get you to fix something that doesn't need to be repaired, and you never know what kind of service you are going to get. From the time I walked Julie was very warm with her greeting & by the time I left I knew I had found a new & trusted place to take my future car repairs. Than you to Julie & Michelle!
they did a very good job on my transmission
Good ppl to work with and good service.. Thanks for great service.. I recommend for all your auto needs.
I went to this place to see why my car was shaking thinking it was the transmission. Prior to going here I let a friend of my step dad work on it. Four day's later it started doing the same thing I took it for after paying him $340. I called him to look at it it again and he say's, "oh next time you need to just get a Honda", and leaves. Long story short, TCOA filled me up with different oils and did a diagnosis test. Which came out to just $104 and told me nothing else was wrong with my car. I would definitely recommend this place if your having trouble with your car. Thanks to other's reviews I was extremely satisfied.
My beloved vehicle's check engine and AT light came on one day a few weeks ago, and I began looking for a transmission shop that could diagnose the problem. I called Transmission Corporation of America, and Julie (one of the managers) kindly suggested that they take a look at it. Upon inspection (a large up-front cost), I was told that the entire transmission would need to be replaced. Comparing the cost of the repair to the value of the car, we were trying to decide if it was best worth repairing. We called the shop to let them know that we were going to put money towards a new vehicle instead, and both managers (Julie and Michelle) encouraged us to keep the vehicle, and that they would see what they could work out to make it a more affordable repair. After some hours, I received a return phone call where they were able to find a rebuilt transmission that would be a little more affordable, and we'd have it back quickly. We decided to take the rebuilt transmission and keep our car for a little while longer. Upon replacing the transmission and paying for the repairs, the car had the same issues not 5 miles from the shop. I brought it back the next morning, and they kept it to find out the issue. Upon replacing what they thought was the problem this time, I drove it home again and the lights came on once more, so I instantly turned around and brought it back. They worked diligently through the week to root out the true problem, which turned out to be an electrical computer component associated with the transmission functions. Once the computer was replaced, and we all had finally had enough of the frustrations, they were successful with resolving the transmission issues! I have been successfully driving this car for a little under a week now, and the problems have disappeared. Although this was a frustrating and expensive experience, I was very satisfied with how we were treated as customers, and how the final cost remained firm at the end. They were dedicated to reassuring us that we made the right decision to make these repairs, and I'm glad we did. Thanks to the whole TCA service crew who took the extra time to focus on the vehicle and get it back to reliable working condition. Each one of our interactions was positive, and we were able to trust the people and the process.
Great people and so far so good with the build on my transmission. I would definitely recommend them!
Friend needed work done on his car but wasn't sure what it needed exactly. They did a 2 part test to find out before quoting a price. They were also helpful by getting to it the next day.
Manager awesome. Ms Frame
Great quality service and very friendly as always. Julie is awesome! I always come here for my service needs.
Everyone was so kind to me and did a great job. Thanks so much!!
They were super friendly here at TCA; I had to get 2 tires replaced, and they were very informative and efficient the whole time. I will be making this my default place to go for now on.
If your looking for a place that will actually care about you then look no further!!! They are very honest, friendly and knowledgeable. I got my car back in way less time than I expected and they also charged me less than I was initially quoted since they were honest enough to tell me I didn't actually need to replace some parts I thought I needed.
Amazing staff! Michelle was super friendly and so helpful when my car broke down this past week! They gave me a peace of mind with speedy and respectful service!
I have been trying to find a place to rebuild my trans. They are very helpful. And I will use them.
Michelle Duncan went above and beyong our expectations. She is so friendly and a pleasure to work with. We will continue to do business with them
Wonderful people! Did a great job.
Amazing experience! Friendly knowledgeable people that not only fixed my truck in one afternoon but did a great job!!! Thanks transmission Corp of america!
I was referred to Transmission corp by NAPA Iron Clad warranty Dept...while I would never again recommend or buy a NAPA product insured by Iron Clad warranties... I am recommending this shop... they fell into a bad situation... Michelle help resolve the issues I encountered with Iron Clad ... she was able to step in and reach higher management and resolved my oroblems...Michelle had spent 3 weeks with Iron Clad and it was going no where... she then contacted higher management at NAPA and resolved the issues... she was available after hours and updated us on the process each step of the way ...All the employees are extremely professional and friendly... they went out of their way to be sure I was satisfied...I felt the shop was honest, thorough and not looking to price gouge.. if I should need their service in the future I will be going back to Transmission Corp of America in Knoxville, TN...
I would recommend Transmission America to anyone needing auto repair. They went above an beyond to help me when my car bit the dust an got me back up an running in no time. I will definitely be a life long customer.
Jack is professional and was very helpful. I highly recommend this place!
By far the best experience at a car shop I've ever had. Such polite, kind and hard working people, and they will help you out however they can. Will highly recommend this place to everyone. Well worth the half hour drive it takes me to get there.
Excellent and the service man Jack Gosnell was very helpful and informative
Transmission America handled my car with a professional and compassionate attitude the price was amazing and the service was very fast I will definitely be taking any future vehicle issues to transmission America on Merchants and Clinton
Julie and her team have serviced many of our company & personal vehicles over the years and we couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism as well as attention to detail the wonderful people at Transmission Corp of America has provided. They keep us informed of areas of that might need addressed in the future and work diligently to provide first-class repair service in a timely matter to keep our vehicles on the road. How refreshing in a society that seems to lack basic customer service, to be able to depend on a company to exemplify the very essence of what CUSTOMERR SERVICE truly means! Thank you Julie and your team for all your hard work!
Very genuine people who are not just after your money. Will be coming back.
The ONLY place I will take my vehicle. After moving to Knoxville from the Detroit Metro Area, I had to leave the familiar family mechanic behind, along with everything else. My job has me driving all over Knox county, every day, putting a lot of wear & tear on my car, in city traffic to boot (harder on your car than highway traffic). I literally can not afford to be without my vehicle for long. After an experience, years ago, with a shop where I was getting a new wheel put on my Mustang, and they called me to tell me (long story short) that my coolant had run dry and that my system needed to flushed, asap (when I KNEW that my levels were good, and that everything was in great shape before I went in, because I was always out working on it), and then charged me for it ... I also have major trust issues with letting people work on my vehicle. When my vehicle started acting up, I asked around and got a few referrals; I narrowed them down to the three best candidates, and then (discreetly) went to each for a diagnostic and estimate. Two of the shops came up with a very broad diagnostic, and one of them even insisted I needed my transmission pulled. These guys (TCoA) narrowed the diagnostic down to a specific part, and told me that my transmission would eventually need to be pulled, but that I'd have a good while before it was necessary. I went ahead and gave them the job, and was NOT disappointed. They stuck to fixing only the problem part that had been discussed and agreed upon, kept to the estimate we'd agreed on, let me know of a few things to keep an eye on (I *AM* driving a 10y/o, pre-owned SUV from Michigan), and had me back on the road again in half the time that the mechanic back home, that all my family have been going to for years, would have. Color me impressed. Then, just to really blow my mind, a few days later, I received a handwritten thank-you note in the mail. It was, honestly, very touching. Since then, I have returned numerous times for routine maintenance, and for a few of the aches & pains an old gal like Ginger can expect after ten years on Michigan roads. I have received the same level of professionalism, integrity, and care that I've come to expect from Julie and her crew, each and every time. They simply do not disappoint, and I HIGHLY recommend them.
Incredibly friendly company with great, fast service. They were able to get back on the road on a Saturday when I was stranded in town.
Friendly staff and willing to help us in any way that they could. Thanks to Julie and Arron for their hard work.
Took my vehichle in to Tennessee Transmission of America I had a great experience. The manager was very helpful in telling me exactally what was wrong with my vehicle, the mechanics done a great job also my car was fixed and ready for me to pick up exactally when Julie told me it would be ready. I would recommend if you have any problems with your vehichle take it to the staff at Transmission of America best service and best prices in town!!!!!!
This is a good place good service clean environment and they are polite
Collided with a large truck tire on the road that took out are AC condenser on the way from Illinois to South Carilina. After an overnight stay in Knoxville called Transmission Corporation of America first thing in the morning to see if they would be able to look at it. After learning that we were travelers and pressed for time they told us to head on over and they would check it out. They went above and beyond to locate the necessary part on a Saturday in order get us back on the road. Shop was supposed to close at noon but they stayed til 1 to get everything working for us. Best part is that they are a NAPA certified repair center so even though we were just passing through Knoxville we have a nationwide 2 year 24,000 mile warranty on the part and labor. Julie and the crew are our heroes!
They were very great!!!!
Up the street told me I needed transmission work @ $1000 + Turns out it was only a motor mount. Fixed @ $225 which included AC charge. Will most definitely use them again and highly recommend. Very honest and knowledgeable.
Great service!
Julie and the staff did an excellent job taking care of my transmission issues. Other than me setting up a time to have my vehicle towed to the shop, I had no other worries. Julie took care of handling the warranty company not to mention getting a manufactures update and recall taken care of while they had the vehicle. I also learned that they do more than just transmissions which is great to hear. I also enjoyed the fact that there was a follow up call a week later to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I will definitely use Transmission Corporation of America again should the need arise.
Great place to do business from the time you walk thru the front door they take care of everything and fully explained in detail all repairs.
I was traveling from Ohio to North Carolina and my engine light came on. I stopped and asked some gentleman at a gas station where a mechanic was and they directed me to them. Julie was very professional and immediatly ( and I mean right away even though they had a back up of cars in the bays) checked the code on my car. She said it was nothing to worry about and reset the code. She didn't even charge me! I highly recommend them for all your cars needs.
They did great job and worked with me . I would recommend them..
Had issues with a clicking noise in my car. They showed me exactly what it was and fixed it. Would definitely be back for future work.
recommend by my friend Sara. awesome!
Everyone was great and went above and beyond to help!
Great service. Kind people. Trustworthy. Hard workers
Great service!
Love this place.
Great service!
The staff is so kind and they do a great job. Highly recommend.
Great service & great people! Would recommend to anyone!
Very awesome staff and great service.
Excellent job, very professional, took care of all my needs!
I bought a used car from them that they rebuilt the transmission had a little problem with transmission and they stood behind there work with no cost from my pocket
At first I was reluctant to go anywhere being stubborn and proud about my vehicle... But then I met the team here at Trans Corp and now I am fully content with trusting them with all of my auto needs. Shoutout to Angel for living up to her name and being amazing to work with and so friendly!!!!
This was my first visit to Transmission Corp. The Technicians were happy to explain and show me the issues with my vehicle after offering the Diagnostic Service. The young ladies that worked up-front, Angel and Wendy were absolutely a joy to deal with. They were very friendly and professional, definitely put my mind at ease. This experience was absolutely awesome. Thank you for repairing my vehicle and putting my mind at ease. You have made a friend and a life-long customer.
My transmission totally went out on me 102 miles away. They got my Xterra towed to their shop for $408. The total replacement for the transmission and radiator was going to be $3,700.00! I was going to cry. Angel at Transmission Corp of America was amazing and worked hard for me to get my extended warranty to cover everything for only $100.00 deductible. She updated me every day about my car. I had a great experience with everyone there! Thanks again!
Grate place if I had to do it all over agin I would take my car to Transmission Corp of America. Every time.
Service extraordinary!!! Definitely recommend!
They do great work and the customer service is second to none. And I've lived form East coast to West coast. They truly care about their customers.
Great service and friendly staff make a winning combination.
Excellent service and quality work.
Great place! Excellent service! Thank you
My dad owns a taxi company and they make sure that my dads taxi's are back on the road in a good amount of time. I would suggest these people to anyone who needs any transmission work.
We take all of our cars to Angel and the crew at TCA. They have always done an awesome job and done right by us. They are always so much fun to deal with and fix whatever needs fixed.
I have 8 vehicles, 5 of which are taxis. They do all of my transmission repair work. They do excellent work, and do their best to treat you like family. Angel keep up the great work.
Of all of the auto repair places weve been to, I believe this is our favorite one! They are very professional and honest. They actually do care about their customers! Would highly recommend.
Great place I love it
Best transmission shop in Knoxville. Saved me when I had an emergency when they were closing. Stayed until my car was back on the. Definitely recommend to anyone with transmission problems. Honest, friendly, and fair service.
Great customer service and communication. I would recommend to anyone. Very satisfied with my repairs
I had a 2010 Honda Accord and Chips transmission told me i had to get my whole transmission rebuilt and Transmission Corporation of America just replaced my clutch plates and it drives great!! Thank you!!
I have been taking my two aging vehicles to TCA for a long while and always been satisfied. My last trip my 213,000 mile Buick driver's window needed attention and TCA got the repair completed and cleaned up what was a dirty job to begin with. I thought I would have to go to a dealer for this, so it was a relief just to know that they have complete expertise.
After needing a replacement engine in my vehicle Wendy and Angel could not have been more helpful in ensuring that I was taken care of and back on the road in no time at all. I would personally recommend Transmission Corporation of America to anyone who expects great service and great people.
really great people to deal with. great price and work time. I will be coming back if I ever need anything else done.
I want to thank the staff and mechanics at your store. Your staff treated me like family. The ladies were knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to make sure my car was fixed promptly and paid for by the warranty company. I loved that there was a follow up as well to make sure everything was running smoothly. I will recommend your shop to anyone I know needing help with their vehicle. You all are Great!
Some of the friendliest folks I've ever met. I trust them with all of my vehicles!
Very efficient and affordable. Quality work. Will recommend to others
I was traveling through Knoxville on my way home, and the van broke down. Being an out-of-towner, I was weary... but these guys seemed to actually care. If you have to be in my situation, I hope you end up here.
I had my transmission rebuilt with Transmission Corp. Angel and Wendy were very professional and stood behind the services that they provide. Excellent experience.
My experiences at the shop have always been wonderful! I have been going there since I got my first car, which I still have and runs wonderfully, thanks to everyone here might I add. Angel and Wendy are always very friendly and help me understand exactly what is going on with my car. I've never felt hesitant to call with any questions or concerns that I have, and they are always happy to answer. I will continue going here and wouldn't recommend anywhere else!
Wendy and Angel at Transmission Corp of America provided the best service for our Subaru outback with transmission problems. They were clear, effective, courteous, pleasant, and repaired the problem perfectly. Our Subaru runs like new again. In addition, Wendy went greatly out of her way to help us with an Insurance Warranty. These folks and their shop were top notch in every way. We'll be back...
Transmission Corporation of America fixed my BMW. I had several shops say they could not repair it. However, the folks at Transmission Corporation of America said they could so I dropped it off and picked it up the same day. Its worked perfectly ever since. I am glad I did not trade it before hearing about this place. I will take all my cars there from now on!!
These guys saved me. My 05 Explorer was misdiagnosed to have a bad transfer case, but Angel and the crew at Transmission Corp of America simply put on some new ball joints on both front wheels. Glad I came by because the joints were getting ready to break apart. A lot of good a new transfer case does when you run into the ground or something worse. The other shop couldnt find anything wrong, then called2 minutes later and said, "You need a transfer case. Are you sitting down? It will run 950!!!" Can't thank you guys enough
I had them rebuild the transmission on our Toyota but I wanted to wait until the transmission had a few miles on it before posting anyhting about this company. It's been over two months now and I've probably driven over 1,000 miles. So far I have had no problems at all. I can report the service I received was courteous and evidently they know what they are doing. Will go back again if I ever need repairs like this again.
Angel and wendy will take very good care of you. Best service in knoxville. Lance cunningham wanted over 1,000.00 to replace a part in my 05 mustang gt's transmission and were going to need the car a week. Angel sent a tow truck and picked up the car and had me back on the road the next day. And also only charged me 267.30 with a 1 year warranty.
TCA on Clinton Hwy gets my highest possible opinion and appreciation levels for their utmost integrity, professionalism, honesty, and skill. I have been coming here for several years now for all my vehicle's repair needs and not once have I ever been treated poorly nor with dishonesty nor with apathy. I am elderly, disabled, and at this point in my life w/o friends/family to help, so my vehicle properly-running and the extreme kindness/caring/skill that Michelle, Mike, and all the dedicated/knowledgeable technicians at TCA Clinton Hwy have shown me several several times, means a tremendous amount to me. They have made arrangements for me to get home or given me a ride home themselves and even have picked me back-up to go to the shop to get my vehicle the few times it needed to stay over-night. They always are able to show this same level of concern even when it's very busy or time to go home. Sincerely, your not going to find anyone else more dependable, honest, professional, skilled, and personally caring than Michelle, Mike, and all the dedicated technicians at TCA on Clinton Hwy. This is the first and only review of a business I have every written...I feel that strongly and "moved" to let others know my experiences with this business. Best to all.
Good repair
Very helpful and courteous. Both Mike and Michelle. Fixed my transmission and replaced CV axles. The were great getting my car back to me when it was fixed. I live in a different town and did not have a way to get it. Good customer service . I would recommend it to others.
great work and professional people
I had no idea where to take my car for transmission work. Found on line Transmission Corp. read reviews was impressed. they came and towed my car (a plus) they called me to let me know what they found of course not being a mechanic what they told me went over my head but I acted like I knew what they were saying. If you ever look at a picture of a transmission broken down there are hundreds of parts. Office Manager Michelle was really helpful even got me a loan that helped. I was very pleased with the work. it has been running great no problems I feel like they really cared and being in business for 30 years you have to be good no great at what you do especially working on transmissions. I would recommend them anytime I will go back if anything comes up. I can't believe with all the crooked mechanic I found one that is honest, smart and friendly. so if you need work done please call Michelle and you want any worries as they will take care of you and not rip you off. THANK YOU Michelle and Transmission Corporation of America. Than You Donald Patterson
Great Service
Michael the shop foreman was extremely helpful and really went out of his way to get a price I could afford for my new transmission.
Great customer service. Extremely knowledgable
I had my son take his car to Transmission Corp of America to have a shifting issue checked out and Mike was extremely helpful in diagnosing the issue and giving us the best options for repair. He never made me feel as though they were trying to take advantage of someone with little knowledge of transmission repair. Overall, great folks to do business with. Thomas Clark
Our vehicle was in need of service. We stopped by for an inspection regards a noise our vehicle was making. We were welcomed by an awesome lady who assisted us with a huge smile. A gentleman named Mike inspected our vehicle & was so professional & knowledgeable regards the outcome. Thanks a million for taking care of us & the GREAT customer service. We will certainly pass on the good works to all our contacts. Way to go Transmission Corp of America! Robert Kodak, TN
Best service in town
Great service
Recently had a new transmission installed in one vehicle....super pleased they stand by their work with exceptional warranty. So pleased we brought in second vehicle for a door issue that they not only figured out and fixed on the spot, but I wasn't charged! Try them out! They r now our 'go to' auto service ctr
by far the best place for my car repair
they were first place cheaper than my estimate was . very happy
Top notch place
I felt like I was being charged excessively by several local dealerships cost estimates to fix the rear differential on my SUV. I was given the name and number for Transmission Corporation of America in Knoxville on Clinton Hwy and Overall my cost was 1/3 of that which the dealership was trying to charge me for the same service!!!!! This company even sent a tow truck to pick up my car from 150 miles away. From now on I will bypass the eight "major dealerships" in order to get to this business when a car repair is needed on my vehicles. Their customer service was never lacking, no matter how many times I called to check on the status of my vehicle. Professional service at its peak- by far. Thank you Transmission Corp at Knoxville on Clinton Hwy for the fantastic service!!! I appreciate the time and efforts to get us back on the road again.
Excellent service @ an excellent price
Quick friendly and knowledgeable service. Went over my truck with a fine tooth comb. Did not try to sell me any service or parts I didn't need etc. Will be back again.
Brought a 2005 Dodge Dakota in because of some engine noise and within minutes they had it diagnosed and gave me a price quote. Got it in the next day and they fixed it and charged me what they quoted. I highly recommend anyone to take their vehicles there for all your automotive needs. They're honest, fast and do the job right!
great place great people
just picked up truck today, rebuilt trans and rear end. Great job, great service, great people. work was better than I ever expected. they people were open and friendly. Everyone there was great. Michele was wonderful, Bryan was diligent, hardworking and I would hire either one of them in a minute. the mechanics were, knew what they were doing and ask great questions. I have been around car dealers all my life, they were the best. I have to thank you and your company for a tremendous experience. use my full name if you want.
Great friendly service
I found these guys in a Google search when looking for a pre-purchase used car inspection. They took me right in, did a thorough check including computer diagnostics check, road test, visual engineer inspection on a rack, and great feedback in a formal written report - and best of all it was free. Highly recommend these guys.
High quality service, professional and friendly
I was referred to Transmission corp by NAPA Iron Clad warranty Dept...while I would never again recommend or buy a NAPA product insured by Iron Clad warranties... I am recommending this shop... they fell into a bad situation... Michelle help resolve the issues I encountered with Iron Clad ... she was able to step in and reach higher management and resolved my oroblems...Michelle had spent 3 weeks with Iron Clad and it was going no where... she then contacted higher management at NAPA and resolved the issues... she was available after hours and updated us on the process each step of the way ...All the employees are extremely professional and friendly... they went out of their way to be sure I was satisfied...I felt the shop was honest, thorough and not looking to price gouge.. if I should need their service in the future I will be going back to Transmission Corp of America in Knoxville, TN...
These guys you can trust!
I recently brought my Volkswagen Passat in to be looked at. There were a few things I wanted checked out including possible transmission issues. After looking at it they gave me my options. Even though I decided not to have them fix it I was never pressured or felt like I was pressured to fix it. I will be back when I need my car checked out again.
Highly Recommend
Very Professional,Great Staff. Took great care of me when brought car for Transmission Problem. Would recommend them and would be the place I would go back to if ever needed work done again. 2 Thumbs Up.
great place
the only place that works on my car. flameduckmobile still going....thanks to trans corp. julie and her staff are always professional and personable. thank you!
Great trustworthy service
When they answer the phone & say "This is *name* I can help you" they mean it. I took my SUV in with transmission issues, Julie checked out my vehicle and explained what the problem was and possible repairs and expenses. I had taken it to the dealer and got a very vague explanation and was told I needed a new transmission. TCA explained what the problem was and gave me a price range of what it would cost to repair or rebuild the transmission. There were some parts issues which was beyond their control (dealer parts) but they were extremely helpful and I will be returning in the future for all my vehicle maintenance & repairs.
Friendly reasonable price professional
When I needed brakes I was at a loss where to go. I really did not want to go to the dealership. Any business with with part of the name transmission made me recall memories off-shady dealings and substandard work. I then remembered that transmission corp of america had been there for years and that were recommended by Dave Ramsey. I decided to give them a chance. When I entered the facility I was warmly welcomed and promptly given a written estimate that was reasonable. I went to lunch and came back later and told them to do the brakes. I was told it would take about an hour to do the job. About an hour later the job was completed. Everything works well. As a side note the restrooms were spotless. Thanks for everything I will be back John redwine

What is Human Subjects (Participants) Research?
Research is a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. This typically involves the collection and analysis of data that the researcher intends to publish or present at a professional meeting. Human subjects' research is research where the researcher/investigator acquires the following from a living human being
i. data through intervention or interaction with the individual; or
ii. identifiable private information.
Please see this link http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/45cfr46.html#46.102 for OHRP definitions.
What is the "Common Rule"(the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects)?
Please see this link http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/commonrule/index.html for OHRP definitions.
What is "generalizable knowledge?"
"Generalizable knowledge" means that the intent of the research is to add information to the field of study; the results can be applied beyond the subject population to other settings. It doesn't matter if the results will be published or not. If the research activities are designed in a way that will discover information that can be used in other settings, it can be considered research.
What does "intervention or interaction with the individual" mean?
If you perform physical procedures on a person, manipulate the person, manipulate the person's environment, communicate with a person, or have interpersonal contact with a person, you are engaged in an intervention or interaction with that person.
What is "identifiable private information"?
For information to be considered "identifiable private information" two criteria must be true. First, the information must be private, meaning it is either about behavior that occurs in a context where the individual reasonably expects no observation is taking place or the individual has provided the information for a specific purpose and reasonably expects the information will not be made public. Second, the information must be individually identifiable, meaning the identity of the person is or may be readily ascertained by the investigator or the identity of the person is or may readily be associated with the information.
Does oral history constitute research that requires review by the CPHPR?
Oral history that is conducted according to the guidelines of the national body, the Oral History Association, adheres to its own explicit research protocols. Completed in this specific way, oral history is not research.
In 2003 and 2004, the federal government deemed that oral histories conducted under the guidelines set forth by the Oral History Association was not "generalizable knowledge" and thus was not subject to oversight by the institutional review boards of higher education institutions.
It is imperative that researchers conducting oral history at Emmanuel College follow the standards of the Oral History Association in a rigorous way. Those unfamiliar with the standards or unwilling to utilize them fully after review must seek review of their projects via the CPHPR. The Oral History Association's guidelines are here: http://www.oralhistory.org/about/principles-and-practices/.
What is the timeline for submitting protocols and obtaining approval from the CPHPR?
Investigators are responsible for allowing a minimum of 3 weeks for the review process regardless of the level of review. Please carefully edit and proofread all application materials before submission to CPHPR as incomplete and missing information will cause delays in the protocol application review process.
The Emmanuel College CPHPR meets regularly to review protocols. Depending upon the nature of the research, some studies may be reviewed and approved independently by a smaller subgroup or by the Chair of the CPHPR. Other studies may require review by the full committee.
Protocol reviews are always prospective and never retrospective. Performing research with human subjects without prior CPHPR approval is unethical, illegal, and may jeopardize the rights and welfare of participants in research. A project that is conducted without CPHPR approval is subject to termination or other action by Emmanuel College.
What criteria determine if a project is classified as human subjects research?
The following projects do not require oversight by the CPHPR:
In order to determine whether the project falls into either of these two categories, please complete the Request for classification of Human Subjects Research form (link).
What research requires review by the Emmanuel College CPHPR?
All research involving human subjects, as described above, that is conducted by faculty, staff or students on-campus or off-campus, or investigators from other institutions/organizations requires review. Research that uses Emmanuel property or non-public information to identify or contact prospective subjects must also be reviewed and approved prior to recruiting participants or collecting data. Approval by the Emmanuel CPHPR is required in addition to approval from the affiliated institution.
The CPHPR must determine that all of the following requirements are satisfied:
What training is required for Investigators conducting research with human subjects?
Investigators and student research assistants must comply with the federally-mandated educational training requirements. This may be accomplished by taking an online course offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI), titled "Course in the Protection of Human Research Human Subjects," which is found at www.citiprogram.org. The CITI program includes courses in the protection of human research participants for biomedical researchers, social/behavior/educational researchers, and student researchers and their research advisors. Investigators are required to submit evidence of course completion with their project proposals.
If you are applying for federal funding from a Public Health Service (PHS) agency such as the National Institute of Health (NIH), you will need to complete Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training also in CITI in order to satisfy the Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) training requirement. If you have completed any training through NIH or other agencies that cover the protection of human research participants, please contact the CPHPR to ensure that the training meets the necessary requirements. All trainings are good for 2 years and certificates of completion must be provided.
My research is not federally funded. Do the federal regulations for research still apply?
Yes. Emmanuel College applies the protections of the federal regulations 45 CFR 46 to all human subject research regardless of the source of support or funding.
If my students are doing research projects assigned through my course, what do I need to do?
Professors who assign a research project to be conducted by students within the time frame of an academic course should consult with the CPHPR to determine whether the project falls into either of these two categories:
Please complete the Request for Classification of Human Subjects Research form.
If projects are classified as human subjects research, CPHPR review is required. To the greatest extent possible, please begin the CPHPR review process before the start of class to allow sufficient timing depending on the level of review.
How do I get approval for my research?
Please read the Policies and Procedures document and appropriate forms to better understand the role of an Investigator.
What are the different levels of review and how is the level determined?
All research activities must be reviewed by the CPHPR even when categorized as "exempt". Additionally, please note that the category called "expedited" does not mean a "faster" review. It only refers to the federal categories of research that do not require a full committee review.
Determination of the category of review is ultimately made by the CPHPR, not the Investigator.
Exempt Review - review process to determine if the research protocol qualifies for exemption from further institutional review by meeting one or more of the six exempt categories listed at 45 CFR 46 101 (b).
Expedited Review - initial review process for research protocols that involve no more than minimal risk to subjects and include activities listed in one or more of nine categories published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Expedited review also includes review of minor changes to previously approved research during the period (of one year or less) for which approval is granted 45 CFR 46 110 (b). Any proposed modification to previously approved research resulting in greater than minimal risk or having a negative impact on the balance between the risks and benefits of the research will be referred to the full CPHPR for review.
Full Committee Review - review process for research protocols that do not fall under the "exempt" or "expedited" categories, include vulnerable populations, and/or are determined by the IRB to involve greater than minimal risk to subjects 45 CFR 46 111.
NOTE: For protocols that are reviewed by the full CPHPR, the Investigator is expected to be present at the convened committee meeting to discuss their protocol and answer questions. (Link to CPHPR Meeting Schedule)
Continuing Review - federal regulations 45 CFR 46.109(e) mandate that ongoing Expedited or Full Review research studies be reviewed at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less than once per year from the previous date of approval.
How is "minimal risk" defined by OHRP?
"Minimal risk means that the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests." 46.102(i)
How does the CPHPR assess risk to participants?
To determine whether a human participant will be harmed in any way as a result of his or her participation in a research project, the CPHPR will make a decision based on sound professional judgment and common sense as to whether or not the proposed research places the human participant "at risk."
What constitutes "Risk?"
A human participant is considered to be "at risk" if s/he may be exposed to the possibility of harm or discomfort (whether physical, psychological, sociological, or other) that is greater than the possibility of harm or discomfort encountered in daily life. The CPHPR will consider the fact that certain human participant populations (e.g., minors, pregnant women, prisoners, mentally disabled, culturally or socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals) may be vulnerable and thus at greater risk than others. See also Section IX.A (Research with Vulnerable Populations) for specific regulatory requirements for children, pregnant women, and prisoners.
Certain risks are inherent in life itself, but the CPHPR process does not address the ordinary risks of public or private living. Risks that are subject to DHHS regulation and CPHPR review are most evident in medical and behavioral science research projects involving procedures that may induce a potentially harmful altered physical state or psychological condition. Obvious examples include surgical procedures, the administration of drugs or radiation, strenuous physical exertion, and interventions that precipitate an emotional disturbance. There is also a wide range of medical, social and behavioral research which may not include physical risk but may subject the individuals to discomfort, anxiety, harassment, invasion of privacy, or constitute a threat to the human participant's dignity.
The CPHPR also will assess the risks involved in those studies that are dependent upon existing information or stored data that have been obtained for quite different purposes but that, when used in a research context, may present risk to the human participant. For example, there are medical and biomedical research projects concerned solely with organs, tissues, body fluids and other materials previously obtained in the routine performance of medical services that have been stored or banked. If an investigator desires to use any of these stored materials for research purposes and, in the process, would have access to identifiable, private information about the individual donors, then such research would meet the definition of human participants' research and would be subject to DHHS regulation and the College's CPHPR policies and procedures. Although the use of these materials for certain research purposes introduces no new element of physical risk to the human participant, their use for these purposes may present psychological, sociological, or legal risks to the human participant or his or her authorized representatives.
When Is Risk Acceptable?
If the CPHPR concludes that a proposed research project will expose a human participant to risk, then the CPHPR must assure itself that each of the following requirements is satisfied before approving a project proposal: (a) the rights and welfare of the human participant are adequately protected by the introduction of appropriate safeguards, (b) the methods used to obtain informed consent are adequate and appropriate, (c) the risks to the human participant are reasonable in relation to the potential benefits to the human participant and to the importance of the knowledge that is reasonably expected to be gained, and (d) the risks to human participants are minimized by using procedures which are consistent with sound research design and which do not unnecessarily expose human participants to risk. Any study carrying more than minimal risk will be considered by the full CPHPR, and decisions recorded in the minutes regarding calculations of acceptable level of risk.
Can I amend a study that has been closed?
No, you must submit a new protocol.
I am working with student researchers and other collaborators. Do they need training?
Yes. As the Investigator, it is your responsibility to ensure that all student researchers or collaborators have the required training to participate in your research activities.
I have an approved protocol but need to make some changes, what process should I follow?
Amendments/revisions to an approved protocol can be requested by completing an Amendment form (link to form). All changes must be approved before you implement the change(s).
Amendments that require approval include, but are not limited to, changing the Investigator, inclusion/exclusion criteria for subjects, sites of study, recruitment methods, consent and authorization processes, informed consent form, questions on survey/interview/focus groups, testing procedures, confidentiality measures, or safeguards for participants.
Note: Minimal changes are approved by expedited means and will likely involve little time. However, if changes are significant, they will be reviewed by the full CPHPR.
I am in the middle of a research study that was approved by the CPHPR and certain aspects of the study are not going as planned. How should I proceed?
Any adverse events involving human subjects must be promptly reported in writing to the CPHPR and the Chair will decide how best to deal with the situation in order to ensure the highest ethical standards for human subjects research protections.
I have an approved protocol that is expiring after one year but would like to continue the research study, how can I extend the approval?
A continuing review of research is required annually. Depending on the level of risk, the CPHPR may require more frequent intervals for continuing review 45 CFR 46.109(e).
For each approved study that has been reviewed under expedited or full committee status, the CPHPR assigns a continuing review interval and expiration date. The investigator must complete the Continuing Review Form (CRF) and return it at least one week before the designated date. Regardless of whether or not the study has begun, is still open to enrollment, is closed to new enrollment with follow-up and/or ongoing analysis of data or has concluded, the Continuing Review Form must be completed for our records.
Projects that do not receive written notice of renewed approval from the CPHPR may not continue past the expiration date.
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what's possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.
