    I called and inquired about a broken down transmission. They were nothing but honest did not want my work on it just to do the work. I totally appreciate a business like that.

    Went there for Trans fluid & filter change on my Aerostar that had 85k on it. While waiting, the service manager, a fellow who appeared to be in his late 60's, approached me, with a cup to supposedly show me the catastrophic wear on the Trans. It had a film of oil and nothing else that I could see. While talking to me as if I were stupid, he explained that I should get my transmission rebuilt. I responded that I could see nothing that indicated excessive wear, and it appeared to be a healthy transmission. The guy scoffed and walked away. This place scares me. What if I had been an average man, or woman, especially, with no knowledge of engines or transmissions and this guy had pulled the same circus sideshow act? How many times over the years has Cottman taken advantage of ignorance and replaced perfectly good transmissions? BTW, this 1994 Aerostar ran 250k+ without any issues with the transmission. No amount of persuasion would ever make me go back to these guys. And this is not unusual behavior forTransmission shops. I have had dealings with more than one transmission shop, and have always come away feeling liked I'd been taken advantage of. Their margins are very high, and I've yet to find one that I could trust. All shops use a book that tells them how long it takes to replace a transmission, and that's what they quote you from. If the book says that it will take 9.5 hrs to replace your transmission, and it only takes 7 hrs, they will charge you the 9.5 hrs labor, at $135/hr. Caveat Emptor. Buyer beware. Do your due diligence about transmission shops. Check reviews and the BBB. Ask friends for their experiences. UPDATE: Was emailed by the staff. Yes, this was quite a while ago, and I have no idea if the business has changed hands since. Nevertheless, whether the company says I'm in their database or not, this was an honest review of Cottman's services. Likely, I will not return here to do business. Service: Transmission
