Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care

I took my car to this place to have my transmission fluid changed. They come back and said their computer was throwing up some error codes and would need to keep it. I get a call the next day from them saying that i need a NEW Transmission and it could cost $ 3,600.
He was nice enough to not charge me anything and i picked up the car to take it to a Honda Dealership for a second opinion. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR! No codes were coming up with their computers at all. They said my car has a bit of a whine to it in first gear. Which could be something to keep an eye on but no reason at all to even consider a new transmission at this time.
I cant even put into words my frustration. Being a women I think they thought I wouldn’t even think twice and just say OK ill have the new transmission. If you take your car here (which you shouldn’t) always take it for a second opinion.

This is a hard one to rate and I’ve vacillated between one and three stars, but the end result is a car with a repaired transmission at a great price so I will go with three.
If that’s the end result why only three stars? Well, because the first time the called and said my car was no longer sticking in 4 wheel drive, I could tell nothing had been repaired before I even pulled out of the parking lot. They never bothered to test out their work in other words. They took responsibility however, and rebuilt it again. This time they took it for a test drive before calling and found they STILL didn’t fix the issue. At Cottman, three times is a charm! It’s now working quite well, though as I write this I realized I haven’t tried to shift it into 4 wheel drive and test that out… hmmmm
