Beware of Quality of Transmission Work. I had my transmission in my Honda CRV rebuilt by Cottman in Cary in January 2010 (approx $2900 Ouch). When I picked up my car they told me the noise I was still hearing was a bad wheel bearing. After driving it for few days I was not convinced the noise was wheel bearing. Returned the car to Cottman and they had to conduct additional repair to transmission. Everything fine until a December 2010 I noticed spots on my driveway which turned out to be a transmission fluid leak. Returned to Cottman's told me they would need to pull the transmission to determine source and since it was just outside the 12,000 mile warranty it would cost me at additional $500 just to find out source of leak. Very disappointed with their response and not standing behind their work.\r

UPDATE: MY TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED AFTER JUST 33,000 miles and 3 Years! I WAS TOLD BY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COTTMAN'S HAS A POOR Reputation \r
in our area.
