One of the most iconic personalities in the automotive repair market has been given new life and a new look: Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care — a leader in the auto repair industry — has re-envisioned and revitalized The Cottman Man as an animated character into “The Cottman Man Educational Video Series”.
Long respected for his trustworthy demeanor, The Cottman Man was the embodiment of every Cottman center technician: capable and honest; a friend in the auto repair business… the guy who was there to offer a hand when a car wasn’t living up to expectations.
The Cottman Man Redefined
In his new persona, The Cottman Man will be the host on every Cottman center website, offering tips on auto maintenance and repair considerations, to help make informed decisions about auto repair needs.
“The Cottman Man is someone we’re proud to stand behind,” says Derik Beck, Cottman’s VP of Digital Marketing. “He’s an image of the very best in each of us: our centers and ourselves. And he’s someone we want to emulate every day in our centers, all across the country. Presenting him as an animated character for our websites allows us to breathe new life into our most cherished concept: serving the motoring community.”
The animated Cottman Man will appear on the Cottman website, Cottman.com, on Cottman’s YouTube channel, and then from there, he’ll make his way onto the individual Cottman center websites.
“The Cottman Man Educational Video Series” will include:
In his first series of animated short videos, The Cottman Man will provide checklists to help consumers recognize problems with a vehicle. Additional videos will come out later in the year and will introduce tips to help keep a car running right for years to come. Each video will be less than a minute long and will present complex issues in a friendly, easy-to-understand language.
Helpful Auto Repair Videos
“Your car is important to you; caring for it shouldn’t be something to dread,” says Cottman President Randy Wright. “The animated Cottman Man will provide consumers with the information they need in a clear, friendly style. We’re thrilled to be able to provide this level of technical advice in such an accessible format.”

The customer service was concerned about the parking area for my vehicle for overnight early bird service.They called me to inform me they were gonna check back with me before any services on my vehicle were done with my approval which, made me comfortable to know they showed responsibility in their work.
Fast, friendly, reliable and fair. I ended up having to get my town & country transmission repaired/replaced & my spark plugs replaced right before Christmas this past year & they said they could do it the next day if I could leave it that day. Well I didn't have a ride home & my other car needed a jump start since we hadn't driven it much. The owner not only offered to drive me home, but also jump start my other car so I could of get my niece from school. If that's not service, I don't know what is. They also ened up doing my 2014 escape transmission the yr b4. They were recommended by a friend & I would recommend them as well.
I purchased a "newly" used vehicle and was concerned about transmission issues and they made sure I was taken care of. The staff was extremely friendly and polite, and not only did they provide me with all the necessary services I needed, they also educated me. I would highly recommend this location.
The service was great. Someone recommended them to me. They took care of the issue I was having with my vehicle with no issues. I’ll be going to them from here on out!
A very satisfied customer
Kevin and his entire staff are the best. I had a brake caliper fail and they took care of very quickly and for a great price. Since then, I had new flare fenders with led lights installed on my Jeep Wrangler. Same great service and value.
I have been taking my vehicles to Cottman for the last year and I have never been disappointed. Kevin is the General Manager and I have known him personally for several years. This is an honest shop with quality work and great, trustworthy employees. Law Enforcement friendly, which is a major plus. It is hard to find a reliable place for vehicles now and days so skip the stress and take your vehicles here.

My experience at Cottman was awesome! The waiting lounge was very clean and looked great. The front desk staff was kind and personable. My wheels got aligned very quickly and they did a great job for an awesome price! The owner is extremely professional and quite handsome as well.
Great customer service!! The staff was very attentive. A issue arose while they were working on my vehicle, and the mechanics diagnosed it and where back on track in no time. What I liked the most was that they kept me in the loop while they tried to find a resolution.
