Bert has great communication and kept me updated dealing with my warrantys responses. unfortunately i will not be going back there. i had my engine replaced, then i got a “service battery charging system code” they told me its my alternator so they replaced it w a new one, then 1 day of having the car, i got the code again. after a week of having the car, my battery was dead so then i go back to cottmans n they tell me a ground wire wasnt connected when they replaced my engine, ok fine, so they put my OLD alternator back n gave me a refund for the new one i bought. ONE DAY AFTER that, im stranded in detroit w a dead battery. im not going back there just for them to tell me im good, and truthfully im not.

Cottman Transmission is the place to go for all of your car needs. The Cottman crew is exceptional to work with! I have been taking my 1971 Nova to them for the past year and all of the work they put in for me has been way beyond my expectation. They have done for me engine work, transmission work (converting from 3 speed to a 4 speed), Suspension work ( new springs, shocks), brake conversion, and a rear diff change from 3.08 to 3.55 posi. and I couldn't be anymore happy how it turned out. I'll be taking my car to from now on. See you guys soon for an oil change.

They listened to every detail I gave them on my concerns. They identified the problems gave me a very reasonable quote and Kyle kept in constant touch with me on other issues identified and cost changes. They sent me pictures of parts that needed replacement beyond original quote and even let me look at the parts removed. They allowed me to use a loaner car for a night so I could go storm restoration response for my job, which was great. My car no longer creaks or jerks after turning corners after 2 years and I could not be happier. Thanks guys your efforts and work is greatly appreciated and I highly recommend your company.

Took my car in for just a 30,000 maintenance visit and the attention to detail was spectacular! Found an issue with the back calipers, fixed the issue and did a full service inspection! Feel totally safe in the car knowing everything is working properly and will ultimately add to the vehicle life! Highly recommend Cottman for all your vehicle needs!

CottmanTransmission did a complete rebuild on my 2014 Yukon Twenty thousand miles ago at the cost of $5281.17 approximately 2 years ago. Warranty reads 36 months or a hundred thousand miles which ever comes first. Coming back from California to attend a funeral, transmission failed. Leaving me stranded in Salt Lake city Utah on a Friday night. Saturday I found only one transmission shop open. Lucky for me They took my Yukon in and gave me a little beater van to drive. Also offering me a place to stay. Which I declined with appreciation for their generosity and humanity. Good people! Affordable Transmission Salt Lake city Utah. They had me heading east on 80 Wednesday with a properly built transmission. $6311.67 I didn't make it to the funeral. Cottman transmission owners Rob and little Robbie denied to accept responsibility. Just gave me a bunch of double talk even after I explained the failure of the transmission which had been explained to me by the honest people in Salt Lake city. Now I have $11592.84 invested. Cottman transmission offered me 2 or 3 hundred dollars. Which I declined. Steer clear of Cottman transmission. Not good people! Forgot to mention my lodging cost as well. Transmission failure was caused by an incorrectly installed snap ring. And they know it!! Don't use Cottman transmission for any car rep

COTTMANS TRANSMISSION & TOTAL CAR CARE are in a class all by themselves! Starting with the ENTIRE staff being friendly, professional, caring, knowledgeable & compromising! Upon my arrival, in particular, Kyle was (is) a genuinely pleasant fella who was eager to assist me with my "Lady from Venus"😉 anxiety, frustrated & panicked concerns for my Buick Lacrosse! EXPERTS in the vehicle field! They WANT their clientele safe & satisfied! Clean, comfortable lobby & sincere attentiveness as I waited for my vehicle! I highly recommend COTTMANS for optimum repairs & services on ones vehicle! 2Thumbs Up 💯☮️☺️

We have a bad habit of buying older vehicles with bad transmissions. Cottmans hooked us up both time. This last go around, they replaced the whole trans and still had us in and out in two days. They also honor military which is a huge plus. Thank you!

These guys were so kind and helpful. My Nissan’s transmission went out and they were so honest about the process. Even when we decided not to get any work done, they let me keep my car on the lot for the tow truck to pick up. The service alone will keep me coming back in the future!

From my first phone call to Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care, I knew I chose the right car care business for me. Kyle was sincerely kind, helpful, and worked with me to be able to drop off my vehicle for an oil change and a full inspection. He clearly explained the oil change cost and that after the inspection, they would be able to tell me if there was was anything wrong with my car. Bert was also friendly, kind, and helpful at the front counter when I arrived and when I paid a VERY REASONABLE cost for their top notch work on my car!! Donny, who drove me home and back, was wonderful to talk with about many helpfult things. He's a down-to-earth, hard working young man who deserves the best in life! And of course, much respect to all the knowledgeable and highly skilled mechanics who performed the excellent work on my car!! Rob/Robbie even contacted me a day or so after the work was done to make sure that I was satisfied with their work. Not many businesses do that anymore, right? I will tell everyone I know and talk with of your trustworthy, competent, and very reasonably priced mechanical work that you did for me, thank you so very much!!! Update Oct 27, 2025 I took my vehicle to Cottman Transmission again and this time for a Fall inspection, which they performed and even replaced a rear tail light for free. They always take such good care of me!! After that, I mentioned that my car seemed to be running rough and I thought maybe it needed a tune up? They graciously kept the car and performed a tune up. My car runs a lot smoother now, so the tune up was needed. The charge for the tune up was very reasonable, as I expected it would be. I count on their integrity and their quality mechanical work, along with their polite, friendly, and professional communication with me. Cottman Transmission is my go-to mechanic shop. I highly recommend them to everyone, especially if you're looking for an honest, caring, and reliable mechanic shop. You will be very happy with their service!!

Cottman staff is helpful, friendly ,& honest I had my husband bring my truck in because it was having transmission trouble. I had my husband bring in my truck because, Being a women I am often treat as if i'm stupid and an easy target by automotive repair centers. As it turns out Cottman's not one of them. It was diagnosed that day. Because my truck is older 2015 with 56,000 mile it took a few days to get the part. Thay kept my husband updated. When the truck was ready I went in to pick it up. Kyle was the first one to greet me pleasantly and helpful. When I had questions is when I met Bert a very pleasant, helpful, informative and willing to take time to answer my question. I will use and recommend Cottman's in the future.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but Cottenman Transmission deserves it. I brought my vehicle in thinking it’d be the same story as every other shop — long waits, no communication, and big bills. But these guys were different from the start. They treated me with respect, explained everything clearly, and didn’t try to upsell or feed me nonsense. They diagnosed the issue quick, gave me a fair quote, and the best part — they set me up with a rental so I wasn’t stuck without a car while they worked on mine. That alone showed they actually care about their customers. When a issue came up later, they stood behind their warranty and handled it right away — no excuses, no attitude, just solid service. You can tell Cottenman stands by their work and their word. Great people, honest prices, and real customer care. I’ll never take my vehicles anywhere else.

I would highly recommend this place for any auto repairs. I wasn’t too sure at first—being a woman, a lot of car places tend to take advantage when you go in alone,but this was a completely pleasant experience from start to finish. Every single person was super friendly, very respectful, and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. They even gave me a free ride home after I dropped off my car. When I came back to pick it up, they told me they couldn’t find anything wrong with what I originally thought the issue was. Instead, they discovered I had a headlight out, which they replaced, and they also calibrated my brakes—now my cruise control works again! And the best part? They didn’t charge me a single penny. I was honestly shocked. I will definitely continue taking my car there for any future repairs. They have earned a customer for life, that’s for sure!!!!

I have just bought a 2013 used Cadillac and I had taken it to my mechanic to have an inspection and they found no problems so I bought it, I started looking into the vehicle online and found they are prone to transmission problems, so then I started getting worried so I took it to Cottmans for another inspection, very, very nice and polite employees and manager, I felt I was in good hands, and now I have Peace of Mind. I am a single 70 yr. old woman and I was very impressed with the speed of the service and I was very happy with the price and very impressed with the politeness and courtesy that I experienced from everyone I met there. Would definitely recommend them.

I was really impressed by how professional, honest, and knowledgeable the team at Cottman is. They took the time to answer all my questions, showed me what my transmission fluid looked like, and clearly explained the maintenance I needed. Kyle was especially professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. The service was fantastic, highly recommend this place!
