Company details
Information provided by various external sources
Hello and thank you for stopping by our site. We are a nationwide company with over centers throughout the US and Canada. We service, repair and rebuild all types of transmissions for both individuals and fleets companies. Typically, we work with clients who have transmission problems and are frustrated with the process of getting their car repaired. Our clients have told us before we started working with them they were concern with being overcharged for work performed. They were afraid of being lied too and would be charged for work that they did not need. Now, you probably don’t have these concerns, if you do, then you should call and find out if you qualify for a free complete transmission checkup. This includes a road test and external examination of your transmission, where we will evaluate the performance and condition of your vehicle's transmission, and determine what services, if any, are required.

Difficult Problem to Solve
I took my car in with a problem that seemed to defy explanation. Susan was wonderful about hanging in there and continuing to work on solving the problem. She kept me constantly informed about the issue. It did take some time to solve the problem, but she did not give up.

I went with Cottman because of the experience my father in law had with them. They came and picked up my vehicle checked it out and called me with their findings the next day. Sent me the quote via email for my approval and had my van ready the following day. Yes I would recommend Cottman to any and all my family and friends.

Car was "checked out" and the only information I was given was they would charge Just short of $500 to take tranny out/in. No info on possible problem or cost. I spent 30 minutes on internet and found all the info on problem with car and solutions to fix it. Plus a sizeable amount of change was taken out of the arm rest console. Overall not happy at all

I have found a great place in Cottman's of Durham. The man that runs the place, Jody, is a wonderful and trustworthy person to have to take care of you and your car. He patiently explains every question that I have and he always comes through with what he says and tells me. I never leave there feeling uncomfortable. He makes sure that I get the best of care, and there are not too many places that I can boast of that. I can also boast that he goes the extra mile with taking care of me after hours. If you've never tried Cottman's for your specific car care needs, I highly recommend that you do. I know that Jody is a godsend to me.

I was very satisfied with the work … on my 350Z.
I was very satisfied with the work performed by Cottman of Durham. Jody was very professional and provided clear and detailed information regarding the work (valve body replacement) to be done. Throughout the process, Jody called and share updates/changes along the way. Everything happened in the manner and timeframe in which Jody described when diagnosing and completing the work to be performed. This work was completed a couple of weeks of ago and my car continues to perform well.
Unfortunately, Jody was assigned to another store out of town when my car was ready to be picked up. The employee facilitating the return of my car had an odd-ball character, could not share definitive information concerning the warranty and, vehemently questioned why I was concerned about the warranty. Really? When Jody became aware of this awkward situation, he contacted me the very next day and apologized for the employee's behavior and made sure all my questions about the the warranty were addressed and any other questions were answered.
