AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Man this guy Joe is great… I decided to have my transmission checked and oil changed since I put a lot of miles on my car as Über driver… These guys were efficient and everything was done as promised price was even more reasonable than the dealer or Pep Boys… Joe is a stand up guy and I will be bringing my care back to him in the future…

It’s hard to find a mechanic to trust and the first time I had Joe and his team at Aamco inspect my car, I knew I didn’t want to go anywhere else. Joe’s always been very transparent when it comes to options — always giving me a cheaper choice and explaining the pros and cons. On a few occasions, I have taken my car into him to check some things out that are outside of the scope of their normal repairs and he has helped me out gratis (like replaced a blinker bulb and fixed my glitchy radio). Recently, I took my car to him and he told me it was a front end alignment and tire problem and that was not something they do. What he did do was contact an associate of his, drove my car to this other mechanic to get an estimate, called me to give me the details and see what I wanted to do, called them back and went and picked my car up from them when they were finished. He didn’t have to do any of that. He went above an beyond to provide such excellent service (that wasn’t even his service). After this last encounter, I felt compelled to write a review. My husband and I have been using this team for almost two years and will continue to do so. I know I can count on them and that their prices will be fair (if not even surprisingly cheap sometimes).

ONLY GO if you have money to waste. This place is a rip off from the start! In December, my transmission died. Every knows this will happen if you have a car long enough and I understand that. At the time, my wife and I didnt have much money to spend to get the car fixed, but we knew we had to get it done in order to live and move around. We did ALOT of price checking with jack leg mechanics and side shop mechanics but we figured it wouldnt be smart to half way do a transmission. We figured, lets go to a professional shop that specializes in transmissions. My wife and I figured, lets take it to AAMCO .(bad moves begin)
We get the car towed there, I talked to management, he sounded very legit and pretended to care. He told me that he could check the transmission, but it would cost $ 500 to take it out to inspect. I approved that, long story short, we get a call back saying its going to be a $ 2,500 job and if i want to get the work done somewhere else, that he would bill us $ 500 for taking it out and another $ 500 to put the broken one back in. By this time, we all knew i was in too deep to back out. Needless to say, we got the work done. AAMCO REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION! The total came to $ 3,400. I figured, what the hell, rebuild the transmission, it’ll be good for atleast a few years (WRONG) 7 MONTHS LATER, my car transmission is no good!!! It doesnt drive forward!
i called the shop, told them the problem, and they tell me im out of warranty by 900 miles! Needless to say, they didnt try to help me out at all! $ 3,400 7 MONTHS LATER, the transmission is dead again!!!
Something isnt right here folks! How can a place that specializes in transmission REBULD a transmission for $ 3,400 and 7 months later, i need another one!
You’re better off taken your car to a jackleg and taking a gamble. I thought me going to a certified name brand dealer, that the gamble was off! I will never recommend anyone to take their hard earned money to this place. They will rip you off! They tried it twice with me.
Go to One Stop Auto, atleast they have a better warranty and a decent management company.
