I was taken by the same franchise owner for $1700 at his Chimney Rock location. I have found at least one other person on this site that had issues as well! I confirmed that the same guy owned the shop that you had issues with on the Houston BBB. A co-worker advised me to do the same thing as you did. Box up the transmission and spend your money else where. I tried to work through BBB thinking that perhaps the owner was a victim of a bad employee but I believe they practice what they have been trained to do by Cottman. Perhaps we could meet one day and picket the front of his shop and cost them money by chasing away other unsuspecting victims. I thought about small claims court. I think I have a pretty good case but have heard stories of how hard it is to collect. If I could hunt down enough victims we could go to a news channel or somthing? It is not even the money so much as the fact that I was taken so easily and they will keep on doing what they do until someone puts a stop to it. The owner is Scott Furchase his partner's name is "Jonathan". They gave me a card with someone else's name on it now I know why. If I were Jonathan I would not want anyone to know my last name.
