I bought my 95 pontiac trans am from a horrible dealership and after being ripped off by them, the owner sold the dealership. The transmission went out in my car, and i took it to Cottman Transmission. The total of the rebuilt transmission was $1450. I made a verbal agreement to pay 700.00 up front and the manager told me to make payments and pay off the rest whenever i could. Hey, now that seems to be a great business. Well i lost my job, and i told them as soon as i got a job i'd pay it all. I called them every month to let them know i would pay just as soon as posible. Well the nice manager i had the agreement with was fired.
I then recieved one phone call from the new manager stating he did not care what kind of agreement i had made with the other guy, but it didn't matter and he wanted the money right then. Now understand all i owe is 485.00. Not more than 4 months later my car was repossesed by some thug of a repo agency that cottman uses. I was at work and came out to get in my car and leave and my car was missing, i filed a stolen car report. Later that night after i called the city tow truck agency to see if they might have towed my car for maybe an expired meter, they told me it had been towed to cottman transmission. The next morning i called cottman transmission and was told they had no idea who had towed my car, but it might have been a repo agency that they sometimes used. He gave me the guys number.
I called and this guy was so mean he made my wife cry, just in tears. They are now charging us $2000.00 dollars to get our car out of repo, when we only owed 485.00. They will not even tell us where the car is? How is this right? How can someone take a 10,000.00 dollar car and basically hold if for 2000.00, when it is only owen 485.00. Cottman transmission uses thugs.
