Waldorf Auto Repair

Outstanding service 👏

All around great experience. Valorie was really nice and went above and beyond to help me with my transmission issue. Will definitely recommend and they have a permanent customer with me. Great prices, great service, really fast process compared to what I’m used to. 20/10 if it was possible to rate cottmans total auto care & transmissions. Amazing establishment all around!

Very helpful and patient with me dealing with my car situation. Sounds crazy, but shops don’t treat people as good as I was treated at Cottman.

Amazing crew saved me a huge replacement bill and by repairing a leak and willing to work within my budget will be back for future repairs

Great service. I needed suspension work done on my 2009 Mercedes E350. It now rides like new.

I had an excellent experience with Cottman’s. Valerie, the office manager, was professional, courteous, and attentive throughout the entire process. She kept me informed at every step and clearly explained what was happening with my vehicle. The team repaired my car, and I truly appreciated the great customer service and communication. I highly recommend Cottman’s to anyone looking for honest, professional, and reliable automotive service. R/ Heath

If your value THE BEST customer service along with knowledgeable and EXCELLENT auto service, RUN to Cottman! Ask for Valerie (the shop manager). She will listen and give the best recommendation for your vehicle’s problem with STELLAR CUSTOMER SERVICE and the mechanics will swiftly fix your car! I had a severe problem with my 2014 Mercedes Benz GLK, which had to do with the ISM module. Not all places can do the work on luxury cars but they got this done! They would not take my Google analysis. They had to drive my car until it gave the code, which I appreciated, which means they would not lie to me and tell me what the problem was until they were SURE! They didn’t just throw parts at me to make a sale. They actually care about their customers! I am a customer as long as Valerie is there! She deserves a RAISE!!

I cannot say enough about Valerie. This woman needs and deserves a 2 week long, all expenses paid vacation. She had me laughing throughout the whole 2 days we worked together. Very intelligent and such a hard worker. Full of stories and personality. She wears many hats and wears them all very well. I can only hope to work with such a wonderful woman again. Thank you Valerie!!! Another claim with Cottman and once again Valerie is just killing it. She handles so much! I was really surprised that there was no one else to help take calls while she took our payment. She handled a few phone calls while taking our payment for a mutual customers claim and it just astonished me the skill she has. Maintaining a AMAZING attitude and multitasking. Don't lose such a phenomenal employee. Not very many folks out there can handle all that. Might wanna get her some valuable help. Otherwise, thank you so much Cottman Transmission!! Can't wait to work with y'all again!

Valerie was really professional, helping me with the process. Brandon, did the work on my vehicle?And it really drives good.So I have five stars for the company

This review concerns Karaco, Inc. / Cottman Total Auto Care and Transmission at 11780 Holly Auto Center Lane, Waldorf, MD 20601. After paying $2,642.56 for repairs, I did not receive a detailed invoice explaining the diagnosis, parts, labor, or total cost. Shortly afterward, my vehicle experienced serious problems, including fluid leaks, overheating, and engine failure. I also had concerns about unclear business-name identification, communication, repair quality, and follow-up service. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this shop. Consumers considering major repairs there should proceed cautiously and get all estimates, diagnoses, invoices, warranties, and the exact responsible business name in writing before approving work. Consumer Advice Do not rely only on verbal explanations for major repairs. Ask for written documentation before work begins and keep copies of everything. Get a written estimate and diagnosis. Request a detailed invoice showing parts, labor, and total cost. Confirm the exact business name responsible for the repair. Document any problems immediately after service.
