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.

Todd even gave me a follow up call later that afternoon so yes, they do value their service and customers.

I had 2 encounters with Northshore. The first was about the check engine light. They didn't find…read morethe air leak but neither did the dealer. No harm, no foul. The second time was NOT good. My car is an old Subaru Forester with a standard shift. Last year, I brought it in to replace the clutch. They charged the going rate. After driving it 150 miles, the car cut off at an intersection. I managed to get it started and made it home. Next day, I returned it to Northshore to be fixed. Philip said, "We drove it to the corner and don't see anything wrong with it. You just have to get used to the new clutch." I got the car home without trouble but a shade-tree mechanic was passing through the neighborhood. When he looked under the hood. He immediately noticed 3 hoses were in place but NOT fastened and a long wire was left hanging unconnected under the engine. A week later, I had to rent a truck to drive a bunch of stuff to Florida. The car was towed behind the truck so I could use it for the return trip. Made it safely to Florida. After a short drive to run an errand, the car cut off again. A passing stranger got under the car and looked at the engine. He saw that some part that connects the gears had fallen a loose and was hanging crooked. So I had it towed back to my relative's house. Now the car is STUCK IN FLORIDA !!!

For the most part, I do all my own mechanic work. I love turning wrenches…read more I Put my truck into the shop for a transmission replacement. Excellent price and so I felt very happy. I'm a new customer. They called me about a few major problems they found that they knew I couldn't fix myself like a leaking rear main seal, etc. they made me an incredibly good deal since the engine and transmission were already apart. They did all kinds of stuff for me and called me at 4:30 the same day! Never seen a shop work so fast! Drives like a dream!

Super nice and knowledgeable guys! I was quoted $4500 on a transmission repair, and as they started…read moretaking my car apart, they kept finding more things that needed repaired. My total ended up being around $7000. It would have been very helpful to have an accurate quote (which could have been managed by them looking into the manufacturer's recommendations regarding that model's transmission before quoting me a lower price). When they had finished the repair, they caught a crack in the transmission housing (which seems to have been the manufacturer's fault). They communicated with me about that very well, and completed the repair with no hassle or extra cost. Their warranty appears solid, and the car runs great!

This place took care of me quickly and professionally! I originally went to Sam's and ordered…read moretires for my Ford F150 that I needed before a road trip in a week. They told me the tires should arrive in 2-3 days. That changed to 3-5 days. On the 5th day they told me they weren't sure when the tires would be in. I checked with Tire Town and they said they could have the tires that day. I cancelled the order at Sam's and had the set of new tires put on at Tire Town. Also, their prices were the same as Sam's. So I got faster service and, in my opinion, better value from Tire Town. I will be taking my business to them moving forward.

Tire Town Auto Service was recommended to me by several people (who all had great things to say)…read morewhen my air conditioner went out. They were all very friendly, attentive, and honest about what they thought was wrong, what they needed to do to confirm that (remove the dashboard), and how long it would take to fix it. I had to leave my car over night because of the time it would take. They confirmed that they were right about what the issue was, they repaired it within one day (less than the time they said they may need) and charged a very reasonable price for the work. I'm very satisfied and I'll return for any additional work that I need done. I'll also refer them any time someone needs auto work done. I've already referred one person and she was very impressed as well!
