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.

My parents' car needed to be fixed and the original shop we took it to didn't do this kind of work…read more Danny was accommodating and great at communication. He explained to me what was needed for my parents' car and took the time to call around for a better price on a part. They even moved the car from the other shop to theirs. It's a good feeling to know that there are still good people today who go above and beyond what they must do to do their jobs.

Truck transmission and problem after the repair We brought…read morein a 2500 ram truck. The truck work perfectly except the reverse wouldn't engage. David said he doesn't do repairs he does total rebuilds. He quoted $2200, seems like a good price. He said about 5 days to complete the job. After 20 days he started coming up with reasons why it wasn't ready. !. he said he found some wires that needed to be worked on, I offered to pay extra for the labot 2. A few more days passed by he said he needed help plugging in one of the transmission wires?? that took a couple more days. 3. he said he had to replace three fuses in the truck, that concerned me. 4. Then he said he installed the wrong Torque converter?? Doesn't sound like he knows what he was doing. to replace the torque converter, he had to pull the transmission out again. 5. we went over there to see what was happening. 6. he said he couldn't get the truck to start, starting to believe he shorted out the computer. 7. he hired an electric mechanic that can troubleshoot the problem. The man said the PCM module (the computer that controls everything in the truck) was not working at all, zero info coming out of it. 8, he said that, that module was a one-of-a-kind unit and that there were none to be found anywhere. 9. I told him I found one and it was $960 with a one year warranty, It took me days to find it. 10. Then he said he got it running. I asked how? he said he found and old module from a vehicle he worked on in 2000. He installed the incorrect module, and the truck does run but there are fault lights showing up on the dash and the truck spudders some time. 11. I contacted him again and told him we need to purchase the correct module and he should pay for it. I said this truck was a pain in his side since it came in and then hung up on me. 12. he said the brake light was because the switch is bad. I'm an Electrical Engineer, the brake switch works properly, it is the computer that isn't reading the correct code and displaying the light. The ABS light is on, the ABS controls the brakes on the truck, in the truck. 13 At this point he will not make it good. We will be taking it to small claims court.
