Same as above - Bad business Took truck in for simple transmission leak, they refused to give my truck back until I agreed to a transmission overhaul. Was supposed to be around $250.00 ended up being $1,200.00. One year later I have to have my torque converter replaced again and guess what, leak is back. No warranty and out $1,200.00. Do yourself a favor, stay away from these incompetent people.

Worst Experience Ever! Transmission went out one day while in South Austin; we remembered a transmission shop close by so we decided to have it towed to Cottmans. First day of what I consider a total ripoff!! Representative quoted us $439 to diagnose the problem, and to provide us a quote for repairs. After a full day, they quoted us $2800 for the repairs. We shopped around for some other quotes, the average cost to rebuild our transmission, $1800. There is something obviously wrong here, we called to let them know of what w... read more

Keep looking I wish I had read the previous review before going to this shop. My experience was about the same as the first reviewer, HORRIBLE! The job was expensive and my car was in worse shape after the work due to faulty re-installation of the front axles. I returned to the shop within 10 minutes of picking up my car to complain of a severe shake that was not there before. I was told it was due to "bent wheels". This problem was not present with the same wheels before the transmission work was done. OK, I order new wheel... read more

Go somewhere else Big mistake! We were in a crunch to get our transmission worked on and checked out four specialists before deciding on cottman. What started off as a $400/ 3 hour job ended up being $1800/ 9 day job! They essentially refused to give me my vehicle after the initial workup and I had gotten a better quote from another shop. I went on four different occasions when they told be my vehicle would be ready for pick-up, only to leave empty handed. It was only after I told them my other shop quote that they "dropped"... read more
