Thank you, Anthony, for being a faithful, long- time customer. We really appreciate your loyalty and glad we are able to assist you in your repair needs.
I had taken my truck to Cottman…
I had taken my truck to Cottman suspecting that a vibration I was feeling was a transmission problem. They found that actually my driveshaft was very loose and repaired it accordingly.
A second problem was my "check engine" light, which had been coming on intermittently for months. Other shops had failed to find the problem but Cottman diagnosed a faulty EGR valve. I replaced that myself and have had no further check engine light illuminations.
I was completely impressed with the competence and friendliness of Cottman and will happily refer others.

Carmilla,
Apparently, I did a poor job explaining this to you. The $1100 was the total labor to do the complete repairs, plus whatever parts and materials required to repair your problem completely. Please let me know if I can help in the future. Kevin

Kevin the manager of the shop was so nice. My daughters car broke down. Needed a new transmission. She goes to Grad school in KC. We are in STL. He was soooooo helpful. Nice to know you can trust someone out of town. Jeff the mechanic was great also. Thank you. C.A. Perlongo.

Almost scammed by Michael cottman's transmission on Wornall
The manager Mike told me he would take care of my slipping transmission instead he never fixed the transmission...... I was in the process of having different engines put in and out of the car so seeing that I never received my new transmission work really took me by surprise... I had to threaten to sue cottman's before I was given new parts...... Not cool cottman's transmission on 80th and Wornall.

Monsieur,
I was excited to see you wrote us a review. Then I was very surprised and confused by what you wrote. I don't recognize any of the events you have described. I have never been contacted by you regarding any of this and I’m wondering if you have our shop confused with another one, as we don’t have a manager named, Mike. I have reached out to you so we can figure out what is going on. Kevin
You all did a terrific job on my vehicle

Christi,
I ‘m glad that you have your car back on the road. It is possible the alternator may be functioning but still has problems. When I perform “Batteries, Starting, and Charging Systems,” Test I use a “Midtronics MDX-224P,” which produces a report as to those systems’ conditions. That report is what I relay to my customers. If you would like, I would be happy to retest your car and give you the report. Kevin
Fast and reasonable

Stalker company
Will never use them again. After agreeing to work on my car Pittman declined to make repairs after I had it towed to their shop. After refusing they charged me to store it. I simply got fed up and left it there.

Veronica,
Sometimes car problems can be very stressful. I do try to make it as easy as possible. I know you had your Cadillac at another shop for several months and they informed you that your car had a major transmission problem. By the time you towed your car to my shop, the engine would not start or run. As I explained, in order for me to check your transmission, the engine needed to be running and I could get it running for you. You told me that you had a guy that would come tow your car and get it running for you. No one ever showed up after numerous phone calls and conversations. You abandoned your car here almost one year ago. Kevin

Kathy,
I hope you were able to get the problem with your van repaired. It is always disappointing when you purchase a vehicle and then find out it has problems. I’m sorry our pricing is not what you expected. We charge $95.00 per flat rate hour plus whatever parts and materials required to repair the problem. If I can assist you in the future, please contact me. Kevin
Cottman rebuilt my transmission.
Cottman rebuilt my transmission quickly and Kevin worked with me to find financing. Great place to take your vehicle.
