OUTSTANDING!!! I have a 2003 Jeep TJ with a 5-speed manual transmission. After hearing some…read morenoises, something broke and my drive train locked up. I figured I broke something in the transmission (judging from past experience with a different vehicle). Most transmission shops in the area refuse to touch a manual transmission. I went to see Mark at Cottman Transmission in New Castle. He showed no hesitation whatsoever. After we talked, he immediately dispatched a tow truck, at no charge, to pick up my vehicle (on a busy Friday) and had my Jeep in his shop within the hour. On Monday, he had determined that the problem was broken gears in the rear differential, and NOT in my transmission. This was good news! He gave me a very fair estimate, and I picked up my fully repaired Jeep on Wednesday after paying a few dollars UNDER the original estimate. In addition, he had checked out the rest of the drive train to ensure everything was in good shape. Overall, the service from Cottman Transmission in New Castle was excellent, and Mark was extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and very responsive. Honest, reliable, and eager to serve a first time customer, I wouldn't hesitate to come back, and I highly recommend this shop. Lastly, I have a 1979 Jeep CJ-5 with a Chevy 350 in need of a new transmission, and I look forward to working with Mark to get it back on the road for the spring Jeep season!

i could not be happier with Benchmark Transmission in Newark. Dante helped me navigate the process…read moreof dealing with a warranty company that was covering a used 2017 Chevy Silverado with 80,000 miles that most likely had transmission issues prior to my ownership. Dante was upfront and honest with me and provided me with options to keep this necessary repair financially manageable. Being convinced of Benchmark's integrity and after seeing their many great reviews, I chose a more expensive out of pocket option to have Benchmark remanufacture my existing transmission rather than take my chances on a rebuilt one shipped from the warranty company. I have put over 12,000 miles on the truck since the Benchmark repair and the transmission is as much like brand new as it was the day I picked it up. There is a reason Benchmark has so many really good reviews - these guys are the real deal, honest, friendly, and they do excellent work. I could not speak more highly of Dante & am very fortunate to have found Benchmark.

The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with German vehicles. They did not have my specific oil filter in stock, but instead of rescheduling, they had someone go pick it up so the service could be completed the same day. That level of initiative and follow-through stood out. The environment was welcoming and professional. You can tell the team works together with mutual respect and positive energy. There was no pressure, no unnecessary upselling, just clear communication and solid service. After trying other shops in the area, I have officially found my new maintenance home. Highly recommend.

This shop is AMAZING. I took my car here because it failed inspection and every shop I called…read morequoted me well over $1k to fix it. I called Lee Myles, and Brad took the time to explain to me all the issues that failed inspection. Not only was he friendly and patient, but they quoted me HALF of what I was getting from every other shop. As they work on your car, you get emails with updates showing pictures of what they're finding during inspection and working on, which really helped me (a 25-year-old female) ensure that I wasn't getting scammed. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for honest people to tell you the facts and get your car fixed for cheap. I live in Lancaster and will absolutely be driving to Reading for any of my car needs from now on.
