Auto repair service near Hammond, LA

"We only do new parts..." - Manager D Overcharged for a Reman part, was told it was "New". Called them up and 2 days later I got back the difference in price, never was told a reason as to why it happened in the first place. 2 weeks later, Alternator fails again. Went back, was told it was wires. But they couldn't help me cause their mechanic leaves AN HOUR EARLY. Got a second opinion at a local mechanic, ran multiple tests for free. Determined it was the alternator again. Went back to Midas, they still wanted to poke around my car and run "tests". Told them i wanted a full refund, was able to get the cost of labor back. Now I'm getting a better alternator and doing it myself. This shop is a joke, should have never gone there. Left me on the side of the road twice. Not up front, stick to local shops folks. I learned the hard way.

All Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care centers abide by Cottman's complete service philosophy, which calls for your vehicle to be repaired properly the first time, so that you don't have to lose either time or money. Cottman's Service Philosophy is the reason why millions of customers have trusted us to repair their vehicle's transmissions over the past five decades. You see, at Cottman, we know you have more important things to worry about than your car. Cottman will never compromise its standards just to make a vehicle "superficially drivable." We will never perform a low quality service that would result in increased costs, inconvenience, and possible hazardous driving conditions for our customers.

I brought my car in to get fixed and as I was explaining the issue to the mechanic his phone rang. While I was talking, without saying "excuse me I need to take this" or "can you hold on a minute" he picks up the phone and just walks away. After I waited for a couple of minutes thinking surely he is coming back , he never came back and never apologized. It was as though he wanted me to leave and that is exactly what I did. How unprofessional! On top of that when we got the car back from them it was worse than it was before! The owner said he would have someone look at it the next day and it was been three days and still have heard nothing! They don't communicate with you about the problems with your car and they pretend as though they did nothing wrong. I do not suggest this shop to anyone.

My car went dead while I was driving in New Orleans one day. I called Mike's Mobile Mechanic Service out. They checked the problem and replaced my alternator while charging my battery.I just wanted a new battery so I could be on my way. But I would of had the same thing happen on my way back home. Mike's was so good at helping me to understand what was needed and I didn't have to waste money on a battery, they saved me from having to get my car towed and god knows how much and how long it would have took at a shop I would have never got home for the kids,Thanks Mike You saved me a lot of money and time.I will call again when I need auto repairs You have a customer for life with me :)

My Son bought a lemon from this company and he couldnt get his money back. The car lasted one day!!!!! Please do not buy a car from this place!!!!! They are ripoffs!!!!!

Tye has been repairing my car for over 15 years. He always treated me fairly and I've never had to worry when I leave my car with him. I trust his judgement on what repairs need to be done. He's great at fixing only what needs to be repaired. I recommend his to all of my family members and neighbors and they have been really happy with him. I highly recommend him to everyone.
