Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care Racks Up Additional Awards for Web-based Educational Car Care Video Series Receives Recognition in Two Categories in the W3 Awards Competition

HORSHAM, Pa. – Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care put the pedal to the metal on the aftermarket auto care industry’s information superhighway by bringing home two more awards for its digital efforts.

The brand, revered across the nation for the honesty and integrity that defines each and every customer experience, announced that its Cottman Man Educational Video Series has received two Silver Awards in separate categories of the W3 Awards competition:

  • Video Features Web Personality/Host
  • Online Video Web Series

The W3 Awards, sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), honors creative excellence on the web, and recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning websites, web video, and online marketing programs. The W3 is the first major web competition to be accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms and everyone in between.

“We are honored to be recognized for our Cottman Man Educational Video Series,” said Derik Beck, vice president of digital marketing for Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care. “We have seen continuous success and award recognition for these videos since their release earlier this year. What started as an idea to provide a simple, convenient tutorial series for our customers has grown into endless marketing opportunities that have brought extreme pride to our entire team.”

Featuring the brand’s signature Cottman Man, the videos offer user-friendly tips on topics relating to car care, such how to address annual car service needs, routine maintenance, road trip precautions, and much more relevant consumer preventative and proactive car care tips. By using simple explanations in the engaging, animated videos, which are 55 seconds or less, the Cottman Man provides crucial car care tips to viewers. Underscoring the usefulness of the series are colorful visuals and easy-to-follow guidelines that ensure viewers are more confident about their motor vehicles and the care it requires.

Previously, the video series also won honors in the Web Marketing Association’s 2016 “Internet Advertising Competition” and The 2016 Summit Marketing Effectiveness Awards.

The W3 Awards sanctioning body, AIVA, is an assembly of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media.

“We were once again blown away at the creativity and quality of this year’s entrants,” said Linda Day, the director of AIVA. “As our connected world continues to expand in new and exciting ways, our winners are a true testament to the power of Web creativity around the globe. On behalf of the 750+ members of The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, we salute the talents and high level of execution our winners display and commend all of this year’s entrants for their dedication and commitment to online excellence.”

AIVA was founded in 2001 and has quickly evolved to a diverse group of 750+ members from all 50 states and 15 countries worldwide. Additional information about the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) and its programs is available at www.aiva.org.

    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.

    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.

    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.
