Aamco Transmissions

Yes the one on Buford hwy that is down the street. You don’t have record on us because this review has been awhile. The used transmission that was put on my wifes passport kept going in and out of gear. We brought it in and you guys said that it was a part that was causing to shift gears. I took your advice and paid for that part. Again, it was doing the same thing. I’m just going to say it, your warranty don’t mean anything!!! You say that the part is under warranty, then if the transmission isn’t working to par, then why not replace it? Anyways, you have lost my business and by word of mouth. This is terrible!!! Luckily, I was able to sell that passport but any cars I have, it’s not getting fixed by you or AAMCO.

I had a positive experience once, when they honored their warranty for a replacement transmission. So I went back when my shifter cable needed replacement. I called my regular guy and another mechanic to see if the price they were quoting me was reasonable, but couldn’t get a comparison price because the job was so rare.
So I went with it, blind, because they’d done well by me previously. When I went to pay the bill, the technician who had done the work was standing nearby and heard the price the store manager charged me. He shook his head and walked back to the garage.
I know, based on his reaction, that I was over-​charged for this repair. Trust someone else.

SCAMMERS! DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP! READ THIS AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WOMEN ESPECIALLY!
I brought my car to Aamco because I had used Aamco in Indiana with great results. Unfortunately, this Aamco tried to take advantage of me, assuming I am a young, dumb girl. To have no respect for women, or people who are not in the automotive field shows how dishonest and shameless the staff at this location are. I specifically asked for my shift linkage and cables to be checked. They assured me that they would check everything and would get back with me when the tech returned to the shop. It was my birthday, and the last thing I wanted to deal with was car troubles! My sister was also visiting from out of town, so it was most inconvenient timing. Aamco called back and told me my transmission needed replaced and they could do it for ~1600−1700. What kind of quote is that?! The industry standard for labor requirement to swap my transmission is 6 hours. If your shop charges $ 100 an hour (ridiculous rate!) that’s only 6 – 700. So they found a thousand dollar transmission? No, they were trying to rip me off. Then when I said I wasn’t interested in spending $ 1700 on my car today, they said they might be interested in buying the car off me for $ 400!!! «So I wouldn’t have to worry about junk yards or towing.»
I got the idea that I was being taken for a ride here, so I had my car towed elsewhere. When I showed up to Aamco to meet the tow truck, I was told by Kevin at Aamco, «Well, Honey, it’s broke. Needs a transmission swap!» Talk about dismissive and condescending. That’s fine, I’ll just take my car to another shop. The tow trucker came, looked under my hood, grabbed my shift linkage and showed me that it was not attached. Well, now I know. Paid $ 50 in towing to go to a shop recommended by a friend, and $ 150 later, my shift linkage, cables, and carrier were all fixed up in under an hour. Unfortunately, Aamco wasted my time on Friday and I had to rent a car for the weekend, which was a waste of $$$ and time. But it was still less than a transmission swap! My car is on the road, driving and shifting just fine. I have told everyone I know to avoid this shop, as it is obviously out to screw people over and not help anyone, or maybe they just like taking advantage of women.

The staff at AAMCO on Buford has always been very helpful. I have an ’07 Ford Explorer and have taken it to them for issues regarding a leaky radiator, and a few tune ups. Kevin has always been very helpful at explaining issues, providing different options for fixing them, and making sure I don’t pay for something I don’t need. (Also a shout out to Brian for driving around with me to diagnose my cooling fan problem.) If you have a moderate to major mechanical issue, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Took my car to this AAMCO based on good reviews on Kudzu. Kevin was very professional in explaining the process of getting an estimate and each step thereafter. The final bill was about what I had initially feared (needed a rebuild), but there were no surprises and everything was explained and shown to me to my satisfaction. Turn-​around time was within what they estimated (3 – 5 days). And there is an Enterprise rental very close by on Buford Hwy which gave me a 10% discount when I told them my car was here.

I had some troubles starting my car the other day with no warning. I was late for work, so I called the first place I could find that would look at my car the same day.
These guys were great, they figured out my battery was dead and didn’t try to gouge me with a new alternator.
