Transmission repair service near Delran, NJ

Been taking my imported car problems to Fred Sonsini off and on since the 1990s. Terrific service, high integrity, fair prices, extensive knowledge and experience. "Old school" in the best sense of the term. Highly recommend.

Sterling and expert service. My '05 Corolla with 315k miles, purrs like a kitten thanks to John and his team at Motorworks. Got an oil change, two new tires and front end alignment. Car is running great. Thanks!

TERRIBLE SERVICE! It took 12 days to have my transmission replaced. Every person I talked to gave me the same exact excuse..."I've only been working here a few days". They must turn over the staff once a week. Also, BEWARE: they don't do the work on premises. They kept feeding me excuses that they sent out the transmission and they had no control when it was delivered back, etc, etc. The final straw was when they GUARANTEED I would have my car back on a Tuesday. I took off work for the day and arranged for a ride to get my car (was told it would be ready around 2-2:30). I received a call at noon to tell me it would be another day! The consolation...they invited me to come down and "look" at my transmission if I wanted to. Finally, I was called at 4pm the next day and left a message that my car was ready BUT they were closing the shop early and if I wanted my car I had to be there before 5pm (30 minutes prior to advertised closing time). They also would not let me use the coupon I obtained from the website and informed them I would be using prior to service starting. This place is unprofessional, slow, and rude. And they cost the same as a dealer. Save yourself a hassle and go somewhere else. AND, don’t believe Craig when he tells you what day your car will be ready. 12 days for a repair is ridiculous. ***Addendum*** a few days later I notice a sticker in my car from Haldeman Nissan on Rt 33. I then received an email from Haldeman thanking me for my service. I was not happy with Haldeman in the past and was purposely avoiding them. AAMCO not only sent my transmission to Haldeman without telling me BUT ALSO GAVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS. WTF!?!?

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.

Make sure you get written documentation of what they will be doing and how much they intend to charge you for it, even if you just need an estimate!!! They claim good quality, but the only evidence is the exceedingly high prices!!! They WILL try to rope you into "choosing" them to do the work (with hidden fees if you don't), even if their estimate is twice as much as someone else. They talk a good game, but that's because they have practice doing what they do!!! Don't be fooled by their "helpfulness," it's all part of the scam!

I took my Volvo here because they said they were Volvo certified - they are not. Although the car was running perfectly fine, we wanted them to check out a "Check transmission next service" message. Three thousand dollars later, the message is still there and the car is stone cold dead in my driveway. They said there is nothing more they can do - and they were RUDE about it. Also, a Volvo mechanic told me that they charge at least 1 1/2 times what others charge. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.

Do NOT use this shop. I had my Altima in for a shifting issue. After $1200 ($500 in Labor) I got it back with MORE ISSUES. I picked my car up and it not only had the Check Engine Light on - which was NEW, but it was drivable when I went back about a week later after the work to mention a newly developed problem. After less than a 5 mins drive Dominic comes back telling me I need a whole new transmission. I ask how they originally got to the diagnosis - Dominic very soon was telling me to "Take him to court" - I hadn't even asked for ANY refund yet! All I wanted was a correct diagnosis. Very quick and expensive, thoughtless work. They are a "Parts Changer" not a mechanic.
