Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care

Had a full transmission replacement here. Stan and the team were honest, quick, and efficient. They did their due diligence and gave me multiple options of transmissions to get at different prices, and when my car was in the shop they were always able to keep me updated on the progress. The repair was done quickly and my car has been going smoothly since. Would highly recommend this place.

Excellent experience with Stan! We were in a tough spot after breaking down on a road trip, and he was able to help us out with our radiator and thermostat. All around excellent service and extremely kind, honest, and helpful people. We recommend this location!

Guys and gals at cotton transmission were very helpful. They spent over an hour just checking out my truck. And gave me a printout of everything they noticed that needed attention. I appreciate all their work they are very professional

Stan and the guys at Cottman are the absolute best. I did an axle replacement on my 2009 Nissan Marano, and some of the transfer case fluid leaked out. I was unable to get the fill cap open to replace the fluid so I took it in to Stan. They got the Open, filled the missing fluid, diagnosed a couple of other problems that I need to work on… And then would not let me pay!
Wow, that is great customer service, and I encourage anyone to support this friendly and helpful local business. Thanks guys!

Cottman Transmission is an unbelievably honest and much needed organization in an industry that has its shares of bad apples. These guys were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Stan's guys took a look at my vehicle that needed to have rear diff replaced, and then informed me that it may still be under the 70k power/drivetrain warranty. When i check and realized that it was still under warranty (65k miles) and that i had to bring it to the dealership for warranty work - i offered Stan money to pay for his employee's time to do the diagnostic. He refused, and just asked me to bring the car back in if it didn't work out at the dealership. No doubt, i definitely will! Great crew and solid company!

Had a 2nd transmission rebuilt with this shop on a Dodge Cummins! They completely stood by their warranty & replaced a solinoid issue.... No charge. Thank you Stan....another shop wanted to charge us $1400!

Thank goodness we got off at this exit when our car broke down! If I could say one thing about Cottman it would be top knotch customer service. Lisa, Manny, and David were all extremely professional, efficient, knowledgable and kind. They even stayed open 20 minutes late so we could get our car before the weekend. Truly a fantastic crew - Good people doing good, honest work.

Stan at Cottman Transmission has been a blessing in disguise. From being super supportive in documentation of damages for legal purposes to providing fast and quality care and services he has been responsive and engaging answering all my questions and responding back to phone calls or emails in a timely manner. Stan has been very open and honest regarding issues to my vehicle and his recommendations of how to best get the issues fixed . I have had some very rough and shady encounters with a previous transmission shop taking me for a ride and I'm so relieved to find a truly caring and honest mechanic and shop to take my vehicle to. I highly recommend Stan and his team at Cottman Transmission to everyone in need of quality work on their vehicles. Thank you Stan.
Sincerely
Elizabeth

Cottman Transmission is the BEST! After being repeatedly ignored for over a week by 2 Ford dealerships (1 being where I bought the car)to get the shift cables replaced in my 2016 Focus, I called Cottman. Stan was absolutely awesome! He took the time to listen and understand what was going on with my car and what I believed was wrong after my Dad had looked at it. He agreed that the shift cables (one or both) had broken and assured me that if I was to have the work done with them they would inspect it thoroughly at no additional charge to make sure that was the only issue. He quoted a reasonable price and ordered the part. My Dad dropped my car off this morning and was promptly and professionally greeted and by the time I got there to pick him up they had my car up and were busy working away on it. Stan even showed us the broken cable that they had already pulled out. They finished the work in a very timely fashion and called me to pick it up, again we were treated very professionally and politely when we arrived. The price was right on point with the estimate and Stan went over what was checked and assured me that everything was properly functioning. My car is now driving just like it had when I first bought it. I am so glad that we chose Cottman for this repair. I would highly recommend them for any service needs on any vehicle. It's refreshing to see a local business with standards not only for the work done but for how they treat people. Thank you so much Stan and the rest of the Cottman staff for being amazing at what you do!

I called to see about a fluid and filter change for my transmission, and they got it done the next day. Excellent service, no fuss. I highly recommend Cottman

Cattleman transmission was great. Stan got our van fixed quickly so we could get home on time. Plus their warranty and follow up service give one confidence.

Reliable, honest service. Dropped off my car for a diagnostic. They ran the tests and let me know that my transmission was in good shape and there was no need for servicing or fluid exchange. I’m grateful they didn’t try to rip me off, but told me the truth. Adding to that, they didn’t have a fee for the diagnostic! Plan ahead, this is a busy shop. But a good shop like this should be busy!

WOW!! I couldn’t drive home fast enough wanting to leave this review. THESE FOLKS ARE AWESOME!! I walked in after being told my transmission “had a hole in it”. Turns out a dust cover was missing. Immediately they went to the rear of the store and returned with the necessary part and installed it in a matter of minutes. Unbelievably THERE WAS NO CHARGE FOR EITHER THE PART OR LABOR! This is simply people helping people which is harder and harder to find. THEY HAVE MY BUSINESS SHOULD A FUTURE NEED ARISE!

Took my little Honda in because the headlights are really dim and the brights aren’t working. I spoke with Stan about how we needed the car by noon and he said that it should be no problem to at least get diagnosis for the problem by that time. Fast forward to 12:00pm, the car is still torn apart and the mechanic is taking an hour long lunch. Much more could be said but they basically took $300 of mine for me to leave my car at their shop for 5 hours. I was not given any info about what the problem might be and neither Stan nor the mechanic were available when I went in at 14:00 to pick up the car.

Edit: Andy the owner wrote me and expressed concern about my needs not being met. I returned his email with the precise details and he was thankful for that. He spoke to seeing a break down in communication and appreciated the feedback. He offered a refund for half the cost of the bill. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure I felt like I was taken care of and my concerns were addressed.

Normally I don't leave reviews for places like this, but I was so impressed with the professionalism and integrity from Cottman in Wheat Ridge that I had to share. Scott is very knowledgeable and willing to assist with any questions/concerns you might have. I needed a transmission replacement in my Suburban and it was nothing short of an excellent experience. The turnaround was quick and I wasn't hit with a bunch of other stuff that was tacked on to my original quote. He even brought me back into the garage so that I could check out what they were looking at on my vehicle. Scott knows the true value of customer service, and I would highly recommend giving him a call before anyone else!

I had my 2013 Chevy impala Transmission diagnosed within 2 hours of them opening.They are wonderful people with great customer service. My car was there for nearly 3 weeks, but that was not there fault. My warranty company took forever to get back to them. They were more than happy to answer any of my questions. I recommend everyone to go here if they wish to have a wonderful experience. These people are beyond amazing.

I took my VW to a dealer to get my AC compressor and ignition switch replaced. The PRNDS shift indicator was flashing after I picked it up. It was *not* flashing before I dropped it off. The VW dealer said I needed a new transmission which was going to be about $6800. Forget that. I took it to Stan at Cottman Transmission. He confirmed the transmission is fine but found an error code that says the ignition switch was not talking to the shift position sensor. I didn't even tell Stan that the dealer replaced the ignition switch until he brought up the error code. He said I should take it back to the dealer since it was their install, which I did. The dealer said Stan was right and they fixed my VW and even reimbursed me for what I paid Stan for his time. Stan sure saved me a lot of money! Thanks, Stan!

My husbands car broke down on his way to work, the car wasn’t able to go forward or backwards luckily Cottman transmission was not far from were the car left him. They were able to diagnose and figure it wasn’t the transmission at all but another problem that we were aware of an just got bigger. They were totally able to handle it and got the car going in the same day. Overall I’m really happy with their honesty and the price was very fair compared to wat other mechanics quoted us. We are very happy with their service the staff was so nice HONEST (it’s so hard to find places that tell the truth) we will definitely be going back if needed.

Highly recommend this shop. They saved me from another shop that had lied about an issue with my transmission. Stan is an outstanding person who truly cares about his work and wants what is best for his costumers. Thank you Stan!!!

I brought my car in a week ago, because I had no reverse. Scott quickly diagnosed and got me scheduled to have the trans rebuilt. After dropping it off the next morning, I was extremely happy to hear it was ready, that same afternoon. My car performs great. These guys are friendly, professional, easy to talk to(they answered all my questions), just awesome. Can't say enough about the experience and service. Thanks
