Our Success

For the past six years in a row, our system-wide sales have experienced double digit increases, and each year our stores have set new sales records. As Cottman sets new highs in both its number of centers and sales per center, the company is well poised to continue its leadership role in the ever-growing transmission repair industry.

Our Market Opportunity 

There are over 200 million vehicles registered in the United States - compared to only 152 million 15 years ago. The average age of a car is now nine years - the oldest US fleet in history. The complexity of transmissions has resulted in more expensive transmission repairs, with the average cost of repair having increased from $750 just a few years ago to over $1,500 per unit today. You can be a part of the explosive growth in this industry as a Cottman center owner.   

No Experience Necessary

You do not need any prior experience in the automotive aftercare industry and you do NOT need any mechanical ability. Owning and operating a successful Cottman franchise does not require any type of automotive background. Cottman owners are business people who have been extensively trained in the Cottman system.

Be Your Own Boss

Cottman offers you a proven business ownership system and a 42-year track record of success. If you want to be your own boss and take control of your own destiny, Cottman offers you the opportunity to be in business FOR yourself, but not BY yourself. We'll provide you with the procedures, service and support you need. Your effort and dedication will determine your ultimate success.  

Our Franchise Support

Cottman franchisees receive complete and total support. You will be assigned an Operations Manager who will work with you regarding ALL phases of the Cottman system. You will also be assigned your own advertising department representative, who will assist you to develop advertising plans that will focus solely on your market and the area surrounding your center.

Our Training Program

A comprehensive four-week training program will be provided, including three weeks at the home office and a follow up on-site at your center. Every aspect of your center's operation is covered in depth, from sales training, personnel hiring, and advertising, to balancing the books and trimming costs. Additionally, throughout the year, ongoing in-field training sessions for both owners and employees are conducted.
