AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Never coming here again. My brakes were squeaking so I had them replaced and the rotors resurfaced at this Aamco. However, I noticed that the brakes started making a noise when I came to a complete stop. I brought my car back in, and they said it wasn’t a brake problem. They said my control arm assembly needed replacing to the tune of $ 1,400. Sensing something was wrong, I brought my car to another mechanic.
The new mechanic inspected my car and found the control assembly to be perfectly fine. He did mention that whomever replaced my brakes the last time used cheap parts which could be a cause of the noise. He said that I didn’t need to change anything and didn’t even charge me an inspection fee.
So instead of admitting to using cheap parts, Aamco tried to convince me to get a really expensive control arm assembly replaced instead. I’m so glad I got a second opinion. If you come here for a diagnostic, you should do the same. Or better yet, don’t come here at all.

Took our Jeep to get the transmission checked and Omar quoted me 2 options. He was very friendly and helpful while going over these options. After deciding to hold off on the repairs for now, I picked up the Jeep and was told no charge for the thorough inspection. Wow, I’ll definitely come back when I’m fully ready.

Omar is someone you can trust ! Have been a customer at Aamco for more then 10yrs. Don’t look any further then Omar and his family. Ask him about his trip to Kona Hawaii ! You don’t do this unless you’re good at what you do !!! GO RAIDERS !!!

Omar and his AAMCO staff was amazing in servicing my VW Jetta. I had to get my transmission fixed and he provided us with all the options I could do and gave prices. Once I decided by car was ready within a 2 weeks. Their service is fast, friendly, and honest good work. I would definitely recommend taking your car here with any issues you come across.

Came in for a regular fluid check on transmissions, expressed this was my daughters car, so safety was our concern. $ 150 picked up car, after a month a half, noticed slipping when putting it in gear. Brought it back and then they told us, they were unable notice leak before and car now needs a transmission. what??? first I know it had no leaks prior to my visit and now the car doesn’t go in reverse (which it went into reverse fine before), Told me I need a transmission that would cost me roughly $ 995 plus $ 160 hour for labor, which will cost about $ 3000 when complete. Was to get a call back within a week, no call yet. Next complaint BBB

I got my oil changed and a check up pretty cheap there. They were very nice. The place was clean. They were quick and efficient. The only weird thing is that my oil light continuously went off after I got my car back. I’m not sure if they did something or if it’s a coincidence, but it’s not anything really important. It’s just annoying.

Took my trusty ’04 Neon here on the recommendation of my fiancé and left very pleased! I got a next day appointment for an oil change Thursday morning and was in and out in about 40 minutes. It was my first time there and Omar seemed very knowledgable about the issues I’ve had in the past with my car and made recommendations for what to look out for in the future. Will definitely continue going here for oil changes!

Omar and his team get it done! Came in for an oil change with an appointment. Got new wiper blades and an OEM replacement sun visor all in the same day. Life is good. This place has reasonable prices and worked quick to get me in and out. Will be back!

My long overdue Unilocal review! I’ll give this Aamco location 5 stars for the wonderful service they’ve provided me time and time again. I own a little old VW 98′ Jetta and I’m super grateful that Omar, the Family and crew were able to help me out with solving the problems with this car. They always wanted to make sure that my car would be in 100% working order and I value that type of customer service a lot. It’s not everyday that you run into car repair shops that really respect the customers and in my opinion, they are really honest with the pricing as well. They’ll call you to check up on how your car is doing; vice versa, and even explain in normal terms (because I’m not too car savvy with the terms) for you to thoroughly understand what’s going on with your vehicle.
Thank you guys again Aamco :) I’ll now hold you guys as my go-​to for any car repair needs.

So I gave aamco a 5 stars. I wish I could give more but 5 stars is the max! Well, Omar helped me with my 2007 bimmer problems. I also loved his mom because she’s so friendly.

My engine light turned on today. After read Unilocal reviews, I went to AAMCO store. The two guys helped me read the code and explained to me the meaning of the error code, and also showed me the crack on my gas tank cap. It is a free service and I really appreciate their help.

I bought them a 5 QT Mobil1 pack and my Honda Accord 2012 would only consume 4 QT and I always got remaining oil back from other places. They lied to me on face saying all the oil was used. I didn’t argue but its about business ethics, not going there again.

Excellent service! Omar and staff are terrific to work with. They fixed our car’s problems and gave us their best price (literally thousands less than another shop that said we needed a whole new transmission)! We are customers for life!

This review is for the latino guy working the desk. He has shown me A+ service, humor, and compassion.
About a month ago, my boyfriend and I came upon unfortunate circumstances – the car keys were sitting inside the car’s cup holder; we were locked out. To make matters worse, there was no spare key for the car. Demoralized, we were sitting ducks in the bitter cold. But just when you would expect things to keep spiraling down, things started to look up because AAMCO was there.
The person working the desk was quick to act. In a matter of seconds, he had someone to help us with our dilemma.
That guy not only saved our butts from the freezing cold, but he also made our day.
AAMCO is a godsend. And I definitely regret not having gotten our hero’s name.

Slow service, No written estimate, No prompt response/​calls even schedule was delayed again and again.
My car was needed to fix something. They estimated that fixing my issue would take 3 or 4 days, they suggested me to bring car on Monday 8AM, start of the week. So I left my car on Monday 8AM. When I called them on Thursday morning (4 days later), they said could not fix by this day but could be Friday…
Ok, it might happen sometime but I wish I could get call this before I contacted. Minus one star.
On Friday 12PM, I called them my car’s fix progress. He said it could be finished by 5PM, so I arranged returning rent-​a-​car. Just before return a car, I stopped the shop on 4PM, hey the guy said they could not get finish by Friday. It might take till next Monday. NO CALLS about this delay. What if I returned rent-​a-​car before stop this shop? They had plenty of times to let me know their delay.
How many times did they delay but not prompt notice?
Sometimes fixing issue may have difficulties, may require more time than we thought. It is acceptable if necessary but I don’t understand why they didn’t tell this when the delay had cleared?
Minus two stars.
They didn’t give written estimate but in verbal. You have to ask this.
Oh and they said they could give loaner while my car is in shop but it never happened. First day (Monday), he said the loaner would be available on Wednesday.
On that day he said the loaner didn’t back yet, will be on next day… Now you may know what I wan to say, the loner had never given me.
I don’t know their service is honest BUT my experience at AAMCO Milpitas is ridiculous.
Regarding this experience, I would not recommend this place if you are planning to rent a car while your car is in shop, their predict of work estimate doesn’t work at all but no update unless you reach this shop.

Please people don’t take your cars to this guys they are the worst y they always lie to the costumers I’m very sad that what they did to my car

Getting the A/​C checked since it doesn’t blow cold anymore. I came here again because the A/​C still leaks and they did all they can to find out the problem. They went above and beyond my expectations for their work and I’m glad to say, I’ll always recommend coming here. Omar is very chill and helpful in explaining everything I needed to know about what was going on and what might be the problem. He made sure that I knew exactly what they’re doing and what parts they’re going to install onto the car.
There is a place for customers to sit and wait but I recommend leaving your car there for them to do the work. Other than that, my overall experience cannot be better; I must say, it’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a mechanics shop. They’re located inside a business area so it may be a bit difficult to find since they’re all the way in the back of the buildings but once you find it, you’ll remember where to go. It’s fairly close to a fast food restaurant therefore that makes it convenient if you’re hungry and waiting on your car.

I really want to give this place 5 stars but I had a few reservations.
However, when I went back and talked to the manager, Omar, he took care of my concerns

My first time here and of course I read all the Unilocal reviews before coming here. With the high star ratings and free engine light check I was there. And the rating are no lie, they checked why my engine light was on and explained it to me clearly why. Thanks goodness it wasn’t anything major and it was free! The guy that helped me, I dont know his name, but he was really nice and explained everything to me where I could understand what was going on. I will continue to bring my car here if needed for sure.

I took my 1997 cherokee xj 4×4 for a major tune up and it was done the next day.
Great shop to take your car if your
having any issues with it, or even if it just requires an oil change. Omar Fierro the customer service manager is very knowledgable at what he does and will go along way to help you out. A very honest auto shop and also family owned.
