I didn't realize this until I had the chance to unwrap it one day. I knew that there was a way to fix that. He researched the issue and found that he needed to go through the dealer to mess with it. He did and the dealer gave him, and me the doom finger. He took his best shot and supported my desire. But couldn't do the work. I like that he thoroughly tried and I appreciate it.

Well, it looked like such a low key local shop. We dropped off the van (2009 Sienna w/ 280k miles)…read morewith a wobble on acceleration and suggested he look closely at the passenger axel and steering knuckle. He called us back promptly within the hour. But my husband couldn't understand him over the phone, so I took the call. He said everything looked good except there was only one quart of transmission fluid. Because I know next to nothing about cars I agreed to him "changing the transmission fluid" for $120. When I relayed this to my husband he said "there is no way that van could shift gears on one quart of transmission fluid, I just changed the fluid six months ago and checked it last week, its fine". So I called back but couldn't communicate to him that we wanted him to do nothing. So by the time we got there he had already drained the fluid out and we were required to pay for him to install new fluid. My husband is entirely confident he drained the fluid just to have something to charge us for. Then came time for payment. With no warning: Cash only. Well, who carries $120 in cash? So he called some sort of service and took my card payment over the phone, which seemed to be a legitimate exchange but who knows. And so we left with a still wobbly car having wasted several hours and given $120 to a swindler. Never to return again.

I found Javier to be very pleasant, he had my car up and running the next day, as I had suspected it was the coil, he acutally got the part cheaper than I could have.... labor costs were very reasonable....

I found him to be very honest and wanted to know exactly what he had done on my car.... I highly recommend his services.

Do not get any mechanical work done here! They have continuously messed up the work on my…read moretransmission and have not stood by their work and corrected their continued problems. In a nut shell, this is the timeline of my transmission with work done by Cottman's. 5/12/17 - Initial transmission lock up 5/13/17 - $800 worth of work, and I got my car back 5/15/17 - Locked up again! (more issues, no transmission fluid) 5/19/17 - $1500 worth of a rebuild and I got my car back 5/20/17 - Found a leak (bad seals..) 5/23/17 - get my car back 8/8/17 - Found another leak (failed to configure computer, multiple seal leaks) 4/24/18 - Found another leak (bad seal behind torque converter) 5/23/18 - Transmission locked up again!!!! I brought my car in 5/13/17 when my transmission locked up. They did some work, cost me a couple hundred dollars, but I got it out a couple days later. I drove it home and it locked up immediately by the time I drove it the 10 minutes to my house. I brought it back to them the following Monday, 5/15/17, and this time they had to rebuild the whole thing. They also didn't fill it will transmission fluid before letting me take it the first time. They did the work, pulled it, sent it out to get rebuilt and reinstalled it. It never ran the same, but no one really expects it to, right? When it was installed there were continued noises that have never stopped. I also noticed they ruined my brand-new ball joints because they tried to pop it off the joint instead of simply unscrewing the nut and bolts off the lower control arm! I picked my car up 5/19/17 after they rebuilt the transmission. I noticed the next day that my car was still leaking transmission fluid!!! I took it back to them yet again on 5/20/17!! Picked my car up 5/23/17, it didn't show any leaks at least, but never again has it sounded the same again. I noticed even more leaking beginning of August, and I brought it back to them again on 8/8/17! It was literally spraying transmission fluid on the inside of the front driver's side wheel well. I suspected this, so cleaned it thoroughly, and noticed that it still was getting wet. They removed the transmission and sent it back to the shop. The guy at the shop told them that there wasn't anything wrong with the transmission, they just didn't reconfigure the computer correctly, and sent the transmission back to Cottman. Cottman changed out some seals around the cv joint and reconfigured the computer. This was why it never sounded the same!! After I got it back it sounded a little better, drove a little better, but still not that good. In April of 2018 I took my car to another shop to have them see if they could find out what some of the squeaks and noises are coming from. They couldn't find any, but found another leak in the transmission!!! This one was located up in the front seal of the transmission, behind the torque converter!! So, I took it back to Cottman's again to have them fix it. Why would I keep coming back here, because the transmission is under warranty still.. They took it in 4/18/18 and repaired the leak and replaced the seal. So, now I'm driving my car to work 5/23/18 at 8:30AM and my transmission locks up again!!! It wont go past 2nd gear, it wont go into reveres anymore. I limp back to Cottman's shop to have them look at their handiwork and to take care of it. This time, they come back and tell me its 7000 miles past the warranty of the engine!!! Really! Like I drove 7000 miles between 4/18 and 5/23.. You took it in last month and fixed your continued problems! It obviously has continued issues, they have not done their job, they never properly repaired the problems and instead did shotty work until my transmission locked up again! Now they want me to pay for a whole new build!! Do not trust this place, they don't know what they are doing. They are not honest with their customers and have not been able to resolve the continued issues with my transmission. I have continued to give them the benefit of the doubt because they have always attempted to correct the issue. This time they have not. I do not recommend you have them do work on your car.

I learned the center high mounted brake lamp on my 2012 Camaro wasn't working when I got pulled…read moreover for an expired registration sticker by a state trooper. I thought hey, no problem, I can replace a brake lamp. So I ordered the lamp on the internet and once I received it, I sat down to watch a youtube video on how to install it. OMG. There was no way I could do it. It is like the entire car is built around this stupid brake light. You have to basically disassemble your car to get to it. So I made an appointment at a mechanic shop that I have used before. They said they would do it, but when I got there and they took a look at it, they bailed on me and said no. So I called Buddha's Garage. They also said no, but referred me to Slick Rydes. Bill had never replaced a CHMBL in a Camaro before, but he was willing to try at least. I knew it was a major pain in the butt and he had some difficulties, but he did it! The reason I mentioned my expired registration sticker was that Bill went above and beyond and took my car to get it inspected while he had it so I could get my registration renewed before my court date on Friday! Now that is some amazing customer service. He didn't have to offer to do that at all, and I doubt anyone else would. Another thing I appreciated was he never talked down to me or tried to feed me BS because I am a woman, which happens more often than not whenever my car needs repairs. I highly recommend Slick Rydes 100%.

My car was going to be totaled and I would have owed $2000 and had no car but bill cut me a deal and saved me from that. He knows what he's doing, does great work and he won't rip anyone off. What he did for me wasn't special treatment, it's what he does for everyone. He's there to help not to take advantage. I highly recommend him, definitely give this guy your business.
