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 vehicle was towed to the facility. Within hours of receipt, Mr. Pat contacted me and gave me all of the details of the inspection. A complete rebuild was suggested. Unfortunately, based on cost of repairs, which was very reasonable, and age of vehicle, I opted not to have the rebuild done. Even though I did not have work done, I sincerely appreciated Mr. Pat's experienced explanation and professional counsel regarding all options. There was no 'hard sell' or pressure to have the repairs made at his shop. He gave me options and worked with me. All of Mr. Pat's valuable assistance and honesty indicated to me that Mr. Pat treats his potential customers with respect and concern. Precision Transmission Exchange is a business run with integrity and fairness. If my next vehicle ever has a transmission issue, you'd better believe that I'm calling Mr. Pat and Precision Transmission Exchange. Thanks, Joe D.

Just by coincidence it was some type of muffler issue rattling and making the noise. He called me up said he would fix it for me at no charge. Just added a few washers and tighten it down for me.My point is this is why this place is so recommended by everybody . Most mechanics would've sent me to a muffler shop and been done with me. This is a perfect model of how a business owner should run his business to keep his reputation. I now understand why whoever I asked about a transmission flush this place was always recommended

If you need transmission repair and actually need your vehicle back in a reasonable amount of time,…read moreor in the First, Second, or THIRD time it's promised to you that it will be ready, DO NOT GO HERE!! My husband was in New Orleans and started to have car trouble. Car wouldn't go into gear. Saw that this shop was open on weekends (It was Saturday) and thought this would be a good thing. Figured they could start & finish work faster. Well, turns out that this was false advertising. They WERE NOT OPEN ON WEEKENDS! The husband called as the car was loaded to tow, and was told to call when he got close, so the guy could come and open so the car could go inside. Appears the owner lives close by, and runs in when this type of thing happens, opens for car, and then locks back up. Initially we were told the car would not be ready as promised because the wrong part had been ordered. Then, no go excuse - just not ready on the second date it should have been ready. Then after continued calling, we were told it should finally be completed and they would drive it and call us back. We get the call, head to pick it up in New Orleans to find that it now WILL NOT START!!! Mechanic went on to tell my husband that "The cold weather will drain batteries" and continued to try clumsily how batteries work. Finally husband explained to him that he was well aware of how battery's work. (Also mind you, the temp has not been lower than high 50's with highs in the 70's!!) So, we're told they will charge the battery and call us. We wait in the city for a few hours, get a call "Hey, we're about to close. Car started. Not sure if it will start when you get here." Yep! That's what he said! So, we get there, shop is of course Closed! And yes you guessed it - CAR WILL NOT START!! We had to go buy a new battery & buy tools, return to the shop, remove the old battery, and replace with new one. With a Flashlight! It would have been much better just to have been told the truth, car won't start and you'll need a new battery. But, it appears honesty is not a strong suit here. I'll admit, once the car started, it worked well. But Lord knows it wasn't worth all of the delays and hassle. So, moral of the story: If you can go someplace else, Do That!!

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!
