Transmission repair service near Lanham, MD

Poor experience with this location. Brought car in for engine diagnostic and they told me i needed a complete transmission rebuild costing $2000-2500. I took car to another mechanic and found out i only needed transmission leak repaired costing $150. Glad I got 2nd opinion. I'll never go back there.

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.

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.

YOU JUDGE: I bring car in for MD inspection to register it. While up on the lift then discover the rear drums and brake cylinders need to be replaced on both sides and they recommend a brake fluid flush. All total they quote me $950.00. I took the vehicle home and did the entire job in 45 mins with $165.00 in parts, WHILE teaching my 14yo how to do it. (He did the second side with my oversight and helped pump the brakes for me.) I return for re-inspection and ask the basis for their estimate. The Owner's reasoning: "We buy better parts than local stores so it costs more." Yeah. Right. My opinion... they tried to rip me off. I've been in the business and their excuse is the standard BS line given by those that lack integrity. Realistically. Say the parts cost TWICE as much... does that mean labor was $253??? for less than an hour's work? Remember, they already had it on the lift, disassembled. So labor would be in changing out the cylinders (15mins each) and grabbing the new drums for reassembly, then bleed the brake line (which is the same as replacing the brake fluid they 'recommended' for $99.00) Again. You be the judge.

Diagnosed correctly the source of the noise and fixed the problem. Thank you very much .

My car got engine light P0758 code and I went to Hi-Tech to get estimate for repair. After wait for 45 minutes, they showed me a transmission oil pan with bunch mash iron. They told me my car need a re-build transmission for $2900 in order to keep running. I wait for a week and found another car shop to fix my car and they replaced a shift solenoid valve No1. No.2 for $600 dollars. When the mechanic changed my solenoid and he showed the transmission oil pan which is clean without any mash iron waste. Now my car running like new. What a experience?! Hi-Tech is such a dishonest auto repair shop! Please never go that shop!!!

Garry the Manager is the BEST. I check sereral places for a price for a catalytic converter for my 2006 chyrler van. I got prices from $869.00 to $1100.00. I search the internet and found Monunment Street Auto. I called Garry and he quoted $473.00 for a catalytic converter. I could not believe what I was hearing. I left my work place and went to Monument Street Auto. Garry provided me with excellent Customer Service. An employee from the auto center drove me back to my place of work and he pick me up from work when the repair job was done.
