Aamco Total Car Care Center

What an incredibly RUDE SHYSTER! DON’T Have them do a full transmission diagnosis! They will quote you $XXX.xx to remove it and do the diagnosis, then tell you that the price will come off the total cost of the repair. If you choose to not do the repair, Then they turn on their high pressure sales tactics, and if you still decline, they hold you car hostage, and then slap you with another $XXX.xx, equivalent to the price you’re already being charged just to put it back together. The car was driven into the shop, have to pay them $ 700.00, and now it can’t be driven out. This additional cost was not mentioned until long after we had left the shop after being told the diagnosis, and the cost of repairs. We agreed that we had about 24 hours to decide, and when it looked like we weren’t going to do it, they pop this extra fee in there. Here is the worst part for them, I was on the tipping point of giving the go-​ahead, then they call and add on this extra fee… Ummm. No way!
CON ARTISTS!
The BBB, Google, Facebook, all the sites will be getting the minimum review from me for this place.

I went to Aamco because Tim Conway Jr. says they’ll read your error codes for you for free, and, sure enough, they will! I was in and out in 5 minutes with the info I needed, saving me money and time. I hope I have occasion to come back and pay them for something :-)

Outdtanding service and work! Everyone there was customer oriented and professional. Felt right at home the moment I walked in door! The service left me without a vehicle so they offered me a ride back to my RV! Old School Customer Service… man, I do miss it but the folks at this AAMCO still has it for sure!
One month later…
I was in the Medford OR area when I had a MAJOR MECHANICAL PROBLEM with my vehicle. Now Medford OR is NOWHERE NEAR Oxnard folks and I was way out of my comfort zone so I did what most folks would, I called a trusted friend… Mike and Bill at the Oxnard AAMCO! To set the stage for you, it was late, very near quitting time and again, I’m 800 miles north of their shop but Mike and Bill jumped onto their computers and called their extensive network of friends and fellow professionals and before I knew it, I had a tow truck and service shop of the highest reputation and longevity recommendation that had the backing of both Mike and Bill. My vehicle was cared for just as if Mike and Bill had done it themselves and lo and behold, I’ve made another friend in the business… Ken Scales of Medford OR!
Just to add… After all was said and done on the original evening, I got a call from Mike asking if I was in good shape and if everything had worked out? I have to tell you folks, that kind of service and caring has long left a great many of our businesses. I’m so very thankful to and proud of Mike and Bill for keeping it alive and offer them my heartfelt thanks for taking care of me, above and beyond, yet again…

I recently went to Aamco in Oxnard to get my transmission fluid changed as was long overdue. When you get this Service a diagnostic is done to see what needs servicing on your car. I had many repairs to be done including a broken front axle which is intertwined with transmission, also my front brakes and rotter’s, as well as, vacuum hoses and wiring chewed by rats
Michael, the service manager, explained all repairs and costs and told him that I had been struggling financially and discounted price for me, but told his my brakes/rotter’s could be done by one of my son’s as both have skills working on cars. Michael drove me to lunch on his lunch break. Also since my car was going to take longer to fix he called Hertz and rented me a car. When Joey from Hertz picked me up Michael said he was concerned about me driving with my brakes and rotter’s and wouldn’t have let his wife or daughter drive the car and also discounted price for me. Joey at Hertz treated me like a queen and made the rental go smoothly.
After my car was done I was driving home on the freeway and the car in front of me tire had blown causing swerving, smoke from tires and braking. As my brakes were just fixed I was able to avoid an accident and perhaps injuries or worst to me or others!!! I“m so grateful and thankful to Michael, Bill and all at Aamco for perhaps saving my life!!! I highly recommend Aamco for all your automotive needs, as they’re not just about transmissions, they care about you and your car!!!

I had a major car problems. My transmission was totally destroyed and I needed a new one. I couldn’t afford to fix my car it was going to be more than 10k to fix. No lie. My heart dropped and I wanted to throw up, feeling my heart in my knees.
Michael had a better option for me and I couldn’t believe it. Someones Lexus need about 4k in work and they didn’t want to fix it. It was my luck and half the price of my Saturn to fix. I litterly took in my Saturn and came home with a Lexus.
I never in my life thought I would be driving a beautiful Lexus, only in my dreams. I’m thankful to Micheal and all the hard workers at Aamco for helping me. You were on it when it came to communicating the time frames. I appreciate the help and support of caring people and these guys do care. I will be coming here from now on for all my car needs.
See you guys at my next oil change!
Thank you guys so much!

Although they were not very good to us, they did however make me satisfied in the end with the result.

The prices there reasonable. Very polite. With all the workI I had done I was still out in 2 hours.

ok service. The guys at the front desk are awesome, but the service is SUPER SLOW! After they told me it should only be an hour, I didnt bother asking my GF to come pick me up. Did I regret that decision. I ended up waiting for 5 and a half HOURS for my car to be finished. It was a small job too. FAIL.

I will never bring my car hear again. Mike the main guy i was dealing with, is like every other Transmission guy, talks about how much he is going to save you, and do for you, and than once is all said and done especially with a warranty he jacks up the price and acts like he never said anything that he promised you. He also promises you that it will be done by a certain day, and its not, than they are not willing to work to make sure that the arrangements that you had to make to get to work and so forth are taken care of by their lack of service. Going to the Better Business Buruea and the city next. This place is a joke.

AAMCO is not only a transmission place. They work on practically everything from brakes to tune-​ups and so on. They do not do smog checks or work on air conditioners. The service here is awesome!!! First rate! No need to take your vehicle anywhere else. Highly recommended.

I took my 2000 jeep grand Cherokee to aamco after i want a 2^nd view on the problem of my car. I had an issue with the car not starting every 2 – 3 days in the morning on the way to work. I had already been to Chrysler and they told me my cooling fan was not cutting off and it was killing my battery. So they advised me to buy a motor. I then went to ammco and they informed me that i has just bought a part i did not need and it was in fact a relay that was causing the issue. They were very knowledgeable and saved me money. They have excellent customer service and they have definitely won me over. They know how to take care of a customer

good for
complaints

They were very professional in repairing my car. No complaints.

This place is great! I paid about $ 3200 for my tranny three years ago at another Aamco. I know it is expensive but it was well worth it and I will tell you why…
I began to notice problems with my tranny right before the warranty expired. I took it into the Oxnard Aamco and they were true professionals! They honored my warranty even after it had expired and did not stop working on my car until I was satisfied.
Transmissions can be a giant headache on top of being expensive because they are really temperamental. A mechanic may have to look at it multiple times before the transmission and the car work flawlessly. I know most places frown upon having to constantly tinker with a transmission after it has been «fixed» but not this Aamco! I didn’t have to pay a penny more to have my car looked at 5 times after the mechanics initially started working on it The car worked when they initially gave it to me but I was not satisfied with the way it was running so they kept working on it free of charge. They even saved me money because I wanted to add a transmission cooler but they advised me not to instead of taking my $ 400. My car is running up to my standards and I am sure it will last me for years to come.
Be comfortable taking your vehicle to this honest shop and don’t be afraid to voice your concerns if you are not completely satisfied with your vehicle. They always listen to their customers and go the extra mile to make sure you are taken cared of.

They are awesome!!! Very professional and great customer service.

The customer service was excellent, they provided great advice and finished the work on time. I highly recommend this shop for all service.

I brought my 2001 Lexus in with the engine light on. I had been given a diagnosis by the Lexus dealer that I needed an Oxygen Sensor a pricey thing to replace and I asked AAMCO to replace it for a lesser dollar amount than the dealer. I got a call from AAMCO saying that the existing Oxygen Sensor worked fine and they didn’t want me to spend money on that part, but rather they wanted me to spend $ 200 on a diagnostic service. They said, it was worth it to get to the root of the problem rather than doing a bunch of expensive repairs I don’t need.
Although uncomfortable, I gave them the green light to do the diagnostic test with the understanding that part of the $ 200 diagnostic fee would be credited towards the repair. AAMCO determined that the Cat Converter was bad, and told me they couldn’t proceed with the remaining diagnostics until it was fixed. They didn’t do that type of repair.
I thought, great… now I’m out the diagnostic fee on top of everything since they don’t repair Catalytic Converters.
I was pleasantly surprised that they had waived the diagnostic fee since they couldn’t finish the diagnostic service. No charge and no hassle. Additionally, Tonio had called to find out warranty information on the converter, and Bill provided me (upon my request) with the name of a reputable muffler shop to do the repair.
They are honest, service is great! I would recommend this AAMCO to anyone who needs an honest mechanic or who has had problems with their car and can’t seem to get to the root of the problem.
