Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care launched the Transmission Physician as a way of honoring all the women — past, present, and future — who’ve helped build the auto repair business. The women of the auto repair industry are instrumental in helping to build this business, and Cottman modeled the Transmission Physician in their likeness, in a tribute to their contribution.
The women that help run Cottman Transmission Centers are no exception, working in all sectors of running a business. These women are business owners, leaders and the ones accountable for showing that auto repair isn’t about one gender, but about men and women alike, who help provide great service to those in need of auto repair.
