Extremely disappointing experience. My vehicle has been at this shop for over a month, and the…read morebiggest issue has been the lack of thoroughness, urgency, and communication. I was initially given my vehicle back before the full problem was identified, only to have to return it because a major repair was still needed. Since then, there have been additional delays simply because communications weren't being checked or acted on, leaving necessary repairs sitting untouched. I should not have to constantly follow up or physically come to the shop just to make sure someone is checking messages and moving my repair forward. Meanwhile, I'm continuing to incur additional transportation and rental expenses because of these delays. Customers should not have to manage the repair shop themselves to get their vehicle properly fixed. I would not recommend this shop based on my experience.

Huge shout out to Corey and the team at Cottman transmission…read more Corey entirely diagnosed some issues for my 1999 Toyota 4 Runner that my regular mechanic could not . They went above and beyond to be thorough , and answer all my questions . (In a way that made sense to someone who does not speak "car") As well as letting me know what to expect next in repairs . This has allowed me to start saving for the repairs they recommended. Corey is honest and straight forward and I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family from now on! Thank you for your time and energy !!

It's something I value much more now in my life but you live and you learn. Its been some time, years, since I brought my old Dodge here for transmission work. But there are only two kinds experiences that stick out as unforgettable. When everything is great and goes right and when when everything goes bad and is abysmal. Well Cottoman certainly isn't great and they're expensive to boot. So if you want to drive a car out of a garage and have it towed back, then Cotton is for you.

The reason I'm writing this is that I have a tiny car. Hi. My name is Bobby and I have a tiny car. (Hi Bobby!) Ok. I have a tiny car. And the tires on it are the same as old VW bug tires. Little things. Well...after about 150k miles, I decided there was just enough tread to make it somewhere to get some more. But I'm a cheap-o and didn't feel like spending 400 bucks on new ones special ordered and shipped from Pluto (Or wherever they make tires...Uranus?..hehe). So I tried for used ones. Wow are those hard to find. And those I did find were still really expensive. Now my whole car is valued at 360 bucks so I can't really abide paying that much for the tires. So after checking about 20 places all over the area, I was getting ready to turn around and go back to a place that had a pair of expensive tires and just deal with it. I saw this place as I was looking for a turn-around. Just thought I'd give it a try. Not only did they have the tires, they had used ones. They installed the tires (looked new) and balanced them all in about 30 minutes. Total bill? About 75 dollars. Seriously cool guys.

Mine took two days but was 1/3 of the price I was quoted at another shop. The lady in the office said "we don't like to keep cars over night." That's the right attitude in my opinion. When I picked up the car, th guy who fixed my car asked me if I wanted to look at the pieces. I had a rough idea what the problem was, but found the way he explained the parts, the problems, and the solutions assuring, educational, and respectful. They definitely earned a return customer!

Simply due to being a woman and not being taken seriously at any auto repair shop, I followed their suggestions and brought my '05 Ford Focus in for work. I was having serious issues with my brand new battery draining. It took me several visits to actually get the problem officially resolved--mostly due in part to the fact that the batteries I was buying from Autozone on N. Broad were all defective. I was informed "this kind of thing happens". I would say all in all it took me three different visits to R&S to rectify the matter, but I only paid once. The first two times were merely inspections that I wasn't charged for, and on the third trip I was charged for the labor to replace a deeply corroded battery lead. (The real problem!) A mere $40--in exchange for the headache I must have brought them I believe that to be fair. Also had work done here replacing a fan belt. Between the two brothers, I prefer to work with Sam. He's joyfully pleasant, upbeat and doesn't speak to you like you're some kind of retarded kid that's never operated a vehicle before. The receptionist is also very nice and really appreciates good handwriting--as she said when I handed her a personal check. "People don't spend the time these days with their penmanship. Yours is very nice." I don't care to work with Ray, who I perceive as the real-life version of Oscar the Grouch, just without the trash can which I assume is not too far away. He's grumpy, curt & generally seemingly growing tired with his work or tired with people. Either way 2 out 3 ain't bad. Quick repairs, decent pricing and informed throughout the process.

Brought it to Joe's after a recommendation for a good mechanic who won't screw me. I brought it to them on a busy day and the older man said he can probably get into it sometime that evening and call me with the issues. After four days there and numerous phone calls back and forth, and him bringing it to the Jeep dealership himself to help figure out the problem, he calls me back and says its been fixed. I go there expecting a $5,000 bill and end up paying $150.00 for "the labor" because he didnt have to change any parts, etc. Long story short -- a mechanic can easily steal $5k from you for labor and parts, etc, especially if you don't know much about cars (I don't, and he knew that). But this guy sat down, explained parts to me and explained what was wrong and how he fixed it. I walked out of there, never being more impressed about a mechanic in my life. I would take every car I ever own to this place. If I could give this place 10+ stars, I would love to. SUPPORT THIS PLACE, LOCAL BUSINESSES -- A 100% HONEST TO GOD MECHANIC, FINALLY!
