HORSHAM, Pa. – The Cottman Man has done it again: The consumer technical blog for Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care has been named as one of the Top 100 Auto Repair and Maintenance Blogs for Mechanics and Car Owners by the Feedspot online blog spot.
This is just the latest in an ongoing series of awards that the Cottman Man has received for his blog in the short time it’s been online. It was named one of the Top 50 Automotive and Mechanics Blogs by Direct Capital after being online for just five months. And it was recognized by Website Magazine as an example of how to reach out to consumers in your community.
“This is exactly the kind of recognition we wanted for our blog,” says Derik Beck, Cottman’s VP of digital marketing. “Today’s cars are extremely complicated devices, and consumers often feel overwhelmed when faced with a repair decision.”
According to Beck, too often that’s made worse by poor communication. “In the Cottman Man Blog, we explain these complex issues clearly, without a bunch of jargon or confusing acronyms. This helps consumers understand the problems they’re facing and reinforces the trust that’s so important when working with a repair center.”
“Our goal has always been to help educate consumers about their cars,” explains Cottman President Randy Wright. “We believe educated consumers will make smarter decisions when it comes to having their cars repaired. And that benefits all of us: the consumers and the Cottman centers.”
The Cottman Man Blog covers a wide variety of topics, including how to recognize when your car has a problem, how to find a qualified repair shop, and how to explain your problem to the technician to make sure you’re getting the most accurate repair possible. There are dozens of subjects listed, with new ones going online several times a year.
The Cottman Man Blog is just one segment of the consumer outreach program that has become the hallmark of Cottman’s online marketing. Their Transmission Physician program — an animated video featuring the first female transmission specialist — just won two Telly awards: one for Craft Use of Animation for Branded Content & Entertainment, and a second for Web Series for Video, Shows or Segments.

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
Staff were all professional. Manager was a saint, gentleman, and scholar. Great company with excellent values. I would highly recommend them.
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.
Best shop to have your vehicle repaired. Professional and timely. Owner gives fair prices and easy to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone.
The work was excellent and done in a timely manner. Found the best pri
ce for the work needed!!!
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.
Fast and efficient service.
