Do not trust them, crooked and untruthful.
I am not someone who writes reviews or is negative in nature. But the way I was treated by Cottmans Transmission on North New Hope Road in Raleigh was disrespectful and a huge financial loss to me and my family. I brought in my sons jeep to have the transmission repaired. They recommended it rebuilt. We said ok. They charged us alot of money to completely rebuild the transmission. When we picked it up, it did not shift right. We brought it back, they said it is nothing they can do about it. Then a month after the 1 year warranty, the transmission completely failed. They said they wanted nothing to do with the vehicle. The jeep is a daily driver and has never been off roading. Instead they told me it had. They made excuses for there lack of ability to fix a transmission and back their work. I would not recommend this place to my enemies.
Response from Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care
Original delivery date was July 17, 2017, with a standard 12 month warranty on standard transmissions. The vehicle was returned to us on December 26, 2018, five months out of warranty. Due to a chassis and suspension issue, the vehicle was not roadworthy. We informed the customer of this condition which he acknowledged when the car was picked up. We anticipated that the necessary repairs would be made and the car returned. That never happened and this is the first communication since being picked up.

Honest. Great service
I was referred here by the business that services our vehicles. My daughter’s vehicle had a transmission warning light suddenly come on. The Cottman team professionally evaluated her vehicle and helped us make the right decision. We appreciate their honesty and integrity.

Great Work
I took my Ram Diesel truck in for diagnosis, as I experienced some slippage when towing my 35 foot 5th wheel. Spoke with Ray Boyd at length, he sent a Technician (Chris) with me on a road trip with the trailer to monitor the transmission while under load. From that ride I was given a time for repairs and a not to exceed price for the work. The transmission was fixed in the stated time and the price was what was stated. I have taken the truck back for a check-up prior to going on an extended summer trip towing 12,000 pounds, and have the confidence in Chris's work and Ray's Guarantee of 3 years/36000 miles. I would recommend them to anyone and will take my other vehicles to them if needed.

Phenomenal Service, Highest Quality, Best Choice!!
On January 18, 2016, my "baby" a 1999 Acura 3.2 TL that I purchased with 007 miles on turned 17 years old! After 356,466, her transmission began to slip and I knew it was time to have work done because the idea of getting a new car was not an option. We have been together far too long and I could not bear the idea of replacing her. I googled transmission shops and Cottman's and AA### were the two primary companies that appeared. I had her checked out by the "A" place but did not feel comfortable with the mechanic. I left there and went to Cotmann. From the moment I walked in the door and was greeted by Ray Boyd, I knew this was the place for me and my "baby"! He was knowledgable, courteous and made me feel at ease. He told me I would have leave her with him for a few hours to assess the situation and make his OWN determination of what it would take to repair her. After a few hours, he called and laid out the extent of her transmission injuries. He asked if I wanted to have her repaired or pick her up. With no hesitation, I said fix her! I didn't need another opinion and would not trust anyone else to work on such a prized possession. The over 100 years of experience in that building, delivered outstanding results, a day ahead of schedule, and a once again high performance vehicle!! I can't say enough about Cottman, except .... If you want a high quality repair, at a more than reasonable price and phenomenal service, look NO further than 4001 N. New Hope Blvd in Raleigh, NC!! I highly recommend them!! THANKS, TO A WONDERFUL TEAM OF TRANSMISSION ENGINEERS!!!

I felt that I needed to have my transmission checked because it was, under certain conditions shifting hard. My mechanic, Moe, at Nader's said I should go see Ed at Cottman's.

Cottman Transmission has a man that works on transmissions named Bob. He is the best person I have ever met that worked on transmissions. He works hard and does not stop until the transmission is 100%. When you go ask for Bob.

My name is Ashlee Jones and I just want to say how great of an experience we had with Cottman Transmission in Raleigh NC. From the first conversation until the day we picked our truck up we had nothing but a GREAT experience. Getting an almost $3000 job done on our Truck was very stressful and time consuming but Cottman made it as smooth as they could on their end. Everything was done within the time frame that they said from diagnosing the problem to ordering transmission to repair date and pick up. I mostly dealt with Ray and he was AWESOME! Always answered any questions me and my fiance had. Ray and his staff really went above and beyond. Picking our Chevy Trailblazer up this morning and it running like its brand new has made my week! I would recommend them to anyone with Transmissions issues. I know often organizations get emails on how nasty or unpleasant an experience can be, but ours ROCKED! Thank you guys so much for helping my family in a tough time and getting us back on the road :)
