AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

What can I say but thank you to Skip and the Aamco team that took a car that had been to two other shops and the dealer and none of them could figure out that there was a pack rat nest and chewed wires causing the trouble AND they found the fact that the other shop had put in the wrong spark plugs. They worked on it until it hummed and very reasonable price to have our great car back. Skip, Team, we will be forever grateful and will go no where else for service.

A year ago, the transmission in my car went out as I was coming back from a long road trip. Thankfully, I made it back to Tucson, even if it was on the NW side.
I stopped by my regular shop (which I found out doesn’t rebuild transmissions). I called around, and everyone said the se thing: you’re better off taking it to AAMCO.
So I went–
First off, before quoting me the $ 4500 everyone else in town did, they checked it out. After driving it, scanning it and checking out the fluid they walked me through everything they were seeing.
The bad news– it still needed to come down… but it didn’t need to get completely replaced!
See, what they do here is they take your transmission and replace the parts inside, not the whole thing.
Long story short, I paid half of what everyone else is quoting. A year & 16,000 miles later, it still works beautifully! AAMCO has become my new shop… for brakes, oil changes, advise, and everything else car related. Thanks guys!

Check your car’s main complaints by doing search online whenever you have quite a few issues. My car had 4 recalls on it and the complaints online keep adding up. Hyundai already took care of those recalls before I brought it to aamco.
Skip and George originally helped me with the car when it was towed in. I have already had the the cv axle and tie rod end changed by them. The second I pulled out of my parking spot to leave heard a click click click sound when my wheel was turned. Since Chris, an outside sales guy was right outside my car, I got his attention in order to have him listen to the sound as well. He confirmed the sound. Skip was not present during this check out, Chris was covering for him so he tried to take care of me the best he could.
They were going to assure me that the car was fine to drive. So I did, heading home. It drivable but had screeching sound, was an unstable drive when the road was not flat, and click click when turn. I went back and George jumped into my car to listen. With him in the car, the screeching noise was less (extra weight?) And it was not as unstable, but click click noise still obvious. They wanted to assure me that I would be safe driving the car home and to bring it back to assess further. I did get a a quote for a hub assembly replacement.
I took it to another shop, that was highly recommended and friends with my friend. And they insisted and told me that the hub assembly would not have fixed the problem, that it would not have had the wheel bearing that I need to have replaced. And that the rotors needed to be replaced too. They even showed me the rotors and they showed me the old wheel bearings. Both bad shape. They checked the hub and it looked fine.
Everyone I have explained that click noise to told me same thing, that likely it’s the cv axle. So I used the warranty at Aamco to get the axle replaced again. But some reason, it’s still having that click click noise! So, they have recommended for me to come back today in order to have them use another piece of equipment they’re bringing in to assess it further. Wish me good luck. I’ll continue my review and either deduct or add stars accordingly to my experiences.

My car will never go back to Aamco. Although they were very friendly, my car was not fixed! I needed a repaired transmission. I paid nearly $ 3000 for the repaired transmission. As soon as I drove off the lot, the transmission started having problems again. I brought it back in, the same day, and they said there was nothing wrong. He even said, «Trust me, I know you have a long drive, I wouldn’t let you leave the lot if something was wrong.» Well, I barely made it to Flagstaff. The transmission failed 7 times. 4 of the times, it happened repeatedly. I will bring the car back for them to actually fix it, but to another Aamco, since I have the warranty. I have never been more upset with a company in my life.
