They were able to rebuild my 6 speed transmission with upgraded parts that improved the operation of the vehicle to the point of increased fuel mileage. Two days after I got the truck back, I started cross country to the Midwest. The truck performed better than it ever did since new, going across the Rockies. So far, I'm very pleased with the rebuild done by Cottman Transmission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' October 23, 2019 Sad to report I am VERY unhappy with the work done by Cottman. Had to have it back in the shop a second time. This time I'm in Toledo Oh at Earl Brothers Transmission. They found the work done at Cottman with several problems 1. The bolt holding internal filter was an SAE thread instead of metric. Had to drill out and tap new threads. 2. The bolt was loose so the filter was loose. Filter seal had to be replaced. 3. Transmission pan was almost impossible to remove because of excessive sealant, far beyond factory specs. Stay tuned for further problems as I do a REAL road test in the following weeks. I'm pessimistic!!!

Please Please Please do your own research before trusting anything these fools have to say…read more I came to this shop to check a non-fatal check engine light on my car, with the intention of using their advertised free car servicing. I don't remember who I spoke with, but you'll certainly know him as he has the biggest nose in All of the state of Washington. He goes on to do a preservice, which involved using the OBD2 scanner to diagnose the issues. From that alone he was able to deduct that I needed a whole new transmission. The genius with "35 years of transmission experience" was able to conclude with one simple computer scan that I needed a whole new transmission. The issue? I had to drive to Las Vegas that night, which entailed 900+ miles straight. I was told that I would never make it home to vegas and that this was something I needed to do. Yeah my ass. Long story short I end up driving home and the check engine light goes away. While researching the issue on my own, I was able to conclude that the codes my car gave me showed zero signs of a fatal transmission error. The problem was actually quite simple. I would go here if I had the quoted 9 grand to spend, but otherwise, you are better off doing your own research or trusting a business that intends to take care of you. And this is absolutely not one of them.

Service was fine but they upped the prices significantly. So when my check engine light came on and the previous mechanic gave me an enormous estimate. They also suggested numbers other "fixes" that it turned out I really didn't need to do at this time. I looked elsewhere for a second opinion. I was given Zinda and Son's name by a co-worker that has used them for years. I called and was told I could come by at any time for them to look over my SUV. My previous mechanic required an appointment almost a week out to get in. So I took my SUV to Zinda and they gave me a very reasonable estimate and tremendously lower than my previous mechanic. They fixed my problem and so far everything is working well. I'll be back!

Took my 2016 Mazda CX-5 today for a 100,000 mile service, as well as to check out some concerns I have had with my brakes. Robin gave me an estimate over the phone, and they were able to get me on their schedule quickly. The service and brakes were done in a few hours, and I had a hearty breakfast a few steps away at Carol's Corner Cafe while I waited. When the service was finished, Robin lowered the labor costs for installation of my cabin filter, as the mechanic was able to access it quite easily. Based on my previous experiences with mechanics, I'd say that prices at Browns are certainly fair (not the lowest, but definitely fair). After I left the shop to run some errands nearby, I felt compelled to go back to Brown's Automotive to thank them yet again. This will sound like hyperbole, but it's the honest truth: my sweet Mazda now brakes and drives better after this service than ever before! I am so thankful to have found an honest and skillful auto mechanic shop here in Vancouver. They will definitely be my go-to shop from now on. A+++

Lights camera action!! Until it happened again & again --- same routine - this was a daily occurrence for 5 days --We found Browns Quality Automotive - scheduled the appointment - spoke with the gentleman at the desk describing the problem- when we mentioned that all electrical just died -'lost radio programming- & clock -- his eyes lit up & said that it sounded familiar!! YAYY!! Left the car & got our call back later that same day---We were told to put new batteries in key fobs & make sure they don't start dying -- because that can cause the whole system to collapse--- New key fob batteries & away we go! No further problems!!! So far( fingers crossed) And the best part was telling us if it happens no matter what time to call -- during business they'll get help to us - after hours at least they will have our msg !! We are very impressed & yep - we feel that we have found excellent service for my aging Genesis!!! Thank you so much!
