The best

The only shop I bring my cars to

I was traveling with my son for a mini vacation when my transmission started to go. I was lucky to be towed to Cottman who, first of all, was the only mechanic even willing to help me, but secondly, went way above and beyond to get me the help I needed. My business went to the dealership only because the issue was under warranty but that didn't stop Shawn from Cottman from being a stand up, honest person who even called me the next day to make sure I was okay. I highly recommend him and his business. It's hard to find a mechanic like that.

Successful repair, most important. Friendly, professional, communicative, all important to me. No surprises, no quote given to get the work, then doubling it after the work is locked in, very important to me. I do most of my own work at home, cheaper, quicker, and most convenient. Without hesitation, Cottman is my go to when I can't get the job done.

Friendly, set up an appointment for my truck.. I'll update my review after the work is done

The guys here at cottman Auto are awesome they replace my transmission for 2014 Nissan Pathfinder these guys provide great service always recommend, Rondel Chase

Price Was Fair And Job Done Correctly

Love it there get the best bargains

It was refreshing to get straight up information about the steps it would take to get my tranny fixed on my 2003 Ford Windstar. Sal, was a very straight up person and I really appreciated that from him. My situation included dealing with an insurance company who would not approve the vehicle to get fixed unless the tranny was taken apart and left for an inspector of the insurance company to look over before approval. I was told by Sal that I would be responsible for the diagnosis of the vehicle if the company did not approve the repair( that's honesty and straightforward). I understood what my choice was and went ahead with the diagnostic. Fortunately the repair was authorized. I got the vehicle back on 12/20/13 and so far no problems. Will keep the public posted if any troubles occur. Was very impressed with Sal and the professional service he provided along with his staff.

Very reliable and fare shop. My transmission broke down while we were visiting the area (skiing). I called-up many transmission shops around, most told me I have to wait for at least 2-3 days to only look at my car, plus 3-4 days to finish the job. When I called this shop, the owner Sal told me they can start right away, nicely explained to me over the phone all the possible options I may have with this transmission, including possible expense. When my car was brought there, they started almost immediately, even though all their lifts were full and clearly they were very busy with all other cars. I learned that it is impossible to figure the exact damage inside the transmission without taking it apart, so that's what they did, and Sal gave me all the details of the damage and the price to rebuild this transmission, as well as the option to install used or new transmission. Knowing the damage, I checked prices in several local shops to rebuild it, all of them gave me the higher price than Sal. They finished the job on time, as promised (in 2 days), gave me 3 year/36,000 miles nationwide guarantee. The shop is is large, clean, and well equipped. Owner and his guys are very nice and professional.

This place is amazing, they changed my back brake light! And the workers are super nice! I definitely recommend this auto shop!!

I needed my transmission and clutch replaced in my '02 Celica GT-S. Out of the 3 places I called, Cottmans was able to give me a quote during my first conversation with them, and it was well under what the other businesses ended up quoting me at. They were also able to schedule me in within a week when the others expected me to wait at least 4-6 weeks. In the process of replacing the transmission there were also a few odds and ends to do with the job at hand such as replacing the mounts, which required some extra time and work, but when all was said and done they kept to the quote they gave me. They were super friendly, listened to my concerns and genuinely cared about them. They completed the job in a super efficient, as well as quality manner. My baby drives so much better now and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend these guys for any work you may need done, especially after having had them do a pretty big job on mine. I will be returning to them in the future for a bit of engine work and can be worry free about the quality of the work they do. Thank you Cottmans!!

Fair price

The cost of my transmission rebuild was what Sal informed me it would cost. Also they got it done in two days. Everywhere else quoted me 3000 or more for a rebuild transmission and converter, they did it for 2180.00. Best place to go in the Poconos!

I'm a repeat customer, The work is always done on time, within quoted price, with good detailed explanation, very reasonable for the experienced mechanics. never worry about gouging.

Great service - friendly and efficient!

How much do they charge on average to rebuild a transmission

During a road trip I broke down on route 80 and had my car towed to Cottman Transmission knowing nothing about the auto shop. The shop was closed and I had to leave my key in the key drop. Being from Philadelphia I was less than thrilled about this but put my faith in the car gods and took a chance. By the time I called Cottman the next morning (around 9:30am) the owner had already been looking at my car for a half hour an knew what was wrong!!!! I was shocked and so impressed with them especially since my car was fixed the same day! The price was unbeatable and the people that work there were fantastic. Don't
sleep on this one!!

These guys help me every time I'm in a jam. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Their prices are fair and they always answer any questions I ask with a smile. The best part is they are honest. I have been to a lot of mechanics in this area and they have saved me so much money by not overdoing it. Seriously people, these guys are the best. Plus they have arcades in their waiting room!

The guys at Cottman were very friendly and knowledgeable. Santo was very professional and explained everything to us about our transmission. I would definitely recommend this Cottman to my friends and family

This place is amazing, they changed my back brake light! And the workers are super nice! I definitely recommend this auto shop!!

I trust this place so much to give us the best deals and the most honest advice for my car. Coming from someone who does not know cars very much, Ive had people mislead me before with suggestions. After hearing their commercial I decided to give it a shot and since then its been almost a year and they have saved both myself and my mother a great deal of money by not trusting other mechanics looking to make a quick buck. Santo is always very hands on and if the job is easy and a simple quick fix, then he will even just give you a simple have a good day if he knows you are a reliable customer. I have already been recommending people to Cottman prior to this, but hands down I wouldnt trust anyone else with my car after experiencing such wonderful customer service and reliability. Everything is promptly finished when promised and I havent had a problem with my car since.
