At Cottman Transmission the Transcheck21Plus service is here to help our customers identify issues before they get out of control. Sometimes our free TransCheck21Plus will reveal problems other than transmission issues, like engine drivability or drivetrain noises that can easily be confused for transmission problems. It was our pleasure to help you, We will be happy to see you in the future. Should the need arise we, are here for you. Thanks for the Great review !!! 5 STARS !!!

My name is Mark Shaw. I am a businessman as well as a Pastor here in Durham. I am writing about my experience with the Cottman Transmission family. I have known and used Cottman for all major transmission issues that I or others I know have had for quite some time. I have 5 daughters, a wife and mother that I am responsible for. Cottman is and has always been polite as well as honest when dealing with me and my family.I never have to pay to have my vehicles analyzed. Most importantly is the fact that recently on my daughter's 2013 Ford Focus it was Cottman Transmission that discovered major internal problems and took it upon themselves to check on the warranty, contact University Ford and make arrangements to have to car towed to be repaired. I could not have asked for anything more. I say thank you Cottman Transmission. You guys are the best!!
Response from Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care
Mark thank you for the kind words, we look forward to helping you and your family in the future. Thank you from all of us here at Cottman.

Jon, Our customers have come to know us for honesty, professionalism, and above all, reliable repairs. We're very sorry you feel you received otherwise when you brought us your Nissan, and what you describe is certainly not a reflection of our standards. If there is anything we can do to earn your trust moving forward, please let us know by emailing durham@cottmanauto.com. Respectfully, Cottman of Durham

I am very satisfied with the quality of work and service on my vehicle thus far. It seems that the condition of the transmission ultimately determines the lifespan of the vehicle. On my follow-up visit (following a failed state emissions test), the technician left no wire unchecked in making sure that my "Check Engine" light didn't stay lit after I left the garage. I greatly appreciate that, and even more that his service was covered by the repair warranty!! He was honest about the causes of the "light problem", and thus far he remains correct...no more "Check Engine" light!
Response from Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care
We always want our guests to drive away knowing they received friendly and helpful service, so our team is thrilled to read you did and that your Check Engine light problem was solved! We appreciate all of your positive feedback, Timothy, and we hope to work with you again in the future. Gratefully, Cottman of Durham

Another shop was trying to sell me a used transmission but Cottman's told me what was really wrong with my car. They explained everything.

Amazing service and honesty. After being screwed over royally by N-Tune Automotive on Erwin St. Who checked my car as requested then tried to charge me 150.00 for a repair that was never approved. Cottman of Durham found the problem and came up with the proper resolution in a timely manner.

Cottman Transmission has done a fantastic job. I have had no problems. The price was fair. I had gone to other places and it seemed like the other places were trying to gouge me. I have been to Cottman Transmission several times now.

We dropped our car of at 8:00 am on Monday, and by 5:30 PM that same Monday, it was done. They rebuilt our transmission in one day and I am driving it now happily.
