Aamco Transmissions

Aamco: I took my German Car there because they said they are «experts» on foreign vehicles. Mine is no longer under warranty. I trusted them because I recognized their brand name and saw their commercials. Everything was great, they were nice but my car was supposed to be done by the end of the week. It was not. It took them close to two weeks because they said they got the wrong part (some springs for a valve body were too long or something)
Okay, so I call, and call and nobody is answering. I get their answering machine!!! Can you believe that? I go down there (in a taxi) and ask the manager at the counter, and he says he has to ask the mechanic, who is off today. I look and my car is not even on a lift! It’s parked out back with some stuff hanging out from under neath it. In the hot blazing sun with black greasy hand prints on the hood. Unbelievable.
Finally I get my car back, and it ran great for about 3 days until It starts to slip, and there is blue smoke coming out from the tail end. I took it back and they admitted the guy had not put enough transmission fluid in it!!! So it burned up my clutch packs. Smoked my transmission. I was stunned. I decided I had enough and I left. I do not trust them to even try to fix it again.
I took my car back to Tradeway Transmissions. There is no substitute for going to the best. I should have never left them as a customer. Those guys are honest, fast and really know their way around ALL cars, especially Mercedes Benz’s.
Avoid Aamco at all costs.

If I could give no stars I would. An $ 80 part wound up costing us $ 500 to fix and they kept our car for four days to do it. They changed the price on us multiple times, we’re rude, didn’t call when they said they would… Go to Ralph’s unless you just feel like getting dicked around.

Only good for getting your transmission checked. Not really helpful when it comes to anything else. Beware… their starting prices for a transmission check say one thing on their price board but its actually like $ 30-​$ 40 more than that price. When we brought that up, the man said the price on the board is for like a 1970 ford, not any car of the past two decades. Kind of deceiving

Very disappointed. I took my car in to have them check on my check engine light. Their ads say they do this for free. Tom, the guy at the front desk, was incredibly rude and told me that they were too busy and that I should come back tomorrow. I told him that AAMCO had recently serviced my car and that I wanted to make sure they had nothing to do with it. Tom berated me for even suggesting that it could have been their fault and then turned his back on me. What a jerk. I won’t return, even for free service.

So I call them in the morning asking about getting my AC repaired, and they tell me that it is no problem and shouldn’t take more than an hour or two. I bring it in, everything seems fine, and I leave the car there, expecting them to check it out, call me to tell me what is wrong, and give me an estimate before repairing it (it needed some sort of repair and to be recharged). About three hours later I’m wondering why I haven’t heard from them, so I call to check in. The guy says that they haven’t even looked at it yet! So about an hour later he finally calls and says one of the hoses looks wet, but he has no idea how much a new hose costs, and says he will call me back with an estimate. I figure this would take about 20 minutes– WRONG. An hour and a half later I call him back, and he says he hasn’t finished the estimate! I needed my car back that day so I just go down there because they were closing 30 minutes later. In the end I got absolutely nothing, no service, no estimate, NOTHING. I wasted like 6 hours of my time and these people are just so incompetent I cannot even believe it. Plus they are really inaccurate about both their prices and repair times. I asked for pricing on an AC recharge (he knew what type of car I had) and when I got there he changed the price without having even looked at my car. And obviously they were mistaken about the length of time necessary to service my vehicle. What a horrible experience! I wish I could give them zero stars.
