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!

Nice, honest people. I went in to get the work of another…read moremechanic redone. They tried to do a work-around that would have saved me money but that turned out to be a dead-end endeavor because the original repair was botched so badly. So they had to redo the whole repair from scratch. The revised quote was reasonable given the hours they had already put into the job. After waiting in the shop for 6 hours, I had to take a Lyft home because the repair was more involved than anticipated. I picked up the car the next morning. They held firm on the quoted price even though it was a money loser. Hayden and the mechanics were honest and communicative the whole way through, showing me what the issues were and why it was taking so long. The waiting area is comfortable and clean. There is a mini market next door for coffee/snacks, etc. Good people.

Very clean reception area and efficient person (Hayden) who wrote down all my concerns and promised to call with diagnosis. Call came within the hour, and all problems were described and explained giving me the opportunity to decide which to perform and which not to. Repairs were fairly extensive, but all were done promptly and we had the car back the same evening. Met the owner who seems honest and knowledgeable. Will be back!

I'm actually glad I waited a few months before writing this review so I could fully evaluate our…read moreexperience. We purchased a used vehicle here on September 18, 2025. The owner assured us it was a great car and told us the entire vehicle came with a three-year warranty. He specifically stated that if we experienced any issues, we should bring it back to him and he would take care of it. He also said the vehicle had been thoroughly inspected to ensure there were no other problems. Within a few weeks, we discovered that was not the case. We had to return multiple times for an oil leak that was not properly addressed during the first visit (from a BRAND NEW Jasper motor). After three to four trips back, the leak was finally repaired. Before taking it back the final time for the oil leak, my husband thoroughly inspected the vehicle and wrote down several issues he identified, including a broken mount. Our hope was to have everything repaired at once instead of making repeated trips. He left the list of concerns with the head mechanic. When he returned to pick up the vehicle and saw that these items had not been addressed, he raised the concerns again and was told they had not noticed the issue until he pointed it out to them. A few weeks later, another issue arose and the vehicle had to be brought back yet again. Most recently, my husband contacted them because the transmission began slipping. Given the number of problems we have experienced since day one with a vehicle that was presented as reliable and covered by a warranty, we feel misled and taken advantage of. At this point, we are already out more than $6,000 between the down payment, four monthly payments, and the fees required to transfer the vehicle into our name. We are also facing nearly $10,000 more in remaining payments on a vehicle that may soon be unsafe or undriveable -- a devastating financial loss for our family. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend purchasing a vehicle from or having service performed here.
