AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Any mechanic really can rip off those of us not exactly car mechanically inclined. So I was unsure what to expect with these guys when I took my car in for a transmission problem. They told me what they thought it might be right off the bat but needed to check it out. Turns out they were right, fixed it at a very reasonable price and we great throughout the whole process. I would have no problem taking my car back here if future issues ever arise.

Great guys, honest work. Chrys is professional, helpful, listens well. Though my car was beyond help, they gave great advice and reasonable price for assessment. Traded the car guys, I’ll pop by so you can check out my new ride! :)

I spoke with Chris who was very helpful. I called in before bringing my vehicle to them, and I spoke with someone else. He said, Yes, bring your vehicle, we are at your service”. When I got their, the man saw me and his attitude changed. I guess racial profiling is a thing.

I have been going to this Aamco for 30+ years and have always enjoyed outstanding customer service and quality repairs to my cars. Anybody I have referred here has been exceptionally happy. That’s the best way to keep a business going, by referring family and friends. Aram runs a professional auto care business and his team are equally professional, qualified, hard working men who care about their work.

AAMCO is spending huge money on radio marketing. Commercials on both AM and FM stations I listen to. My Kia Spectra has 139,000 miles on it and when they A/​C kept shutting off after 10 minutes of use I decided to give AAMCO of Canoga Park a try. They replaced my entire radiator, hoses and thermostat…$ 825. The same problem persisted. I returned and they said it must be something else??? Kept the car overnight and could not find the problem. Sprayed some gasket sealant and I drove off only to have it shut down in a puff of smoke that night. It does not run to this day. I contacted AAMCO and never heard back from them. So is AAMCO Canoga park inept or just cons… you decide which is worse. I’m thinking of notifying my radio stations that their credibility has been hurt as well

I spoke to Chris and very arrogant over the phone, I can imagine the customer service with this shop. He think he is smart but he cannot answer a simple question about pricing/​quote.

So glad i found this location. This Aamco location came highly recommended. Im a repeat customer and very happy with everything from the customer service, to the honesty from the owner and all the people working there. i won’t take my car (Mercedes) anywhere else. Thanks again for the excellent service!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Absolutely wonderful service and overall experience. They truly worked with me to get me the best possible deal for guaranteed work. I can see why people bring generations of family members here. I will definitely be bringing my vehicle back for any future repairs. They were incredibly thorough in explaining the repairs and services they provided.

It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days but these guys are very honest and keep you informed with what the situation is with your vehicle until the job is complete. Very friendly and I highly recommend them.

Excellent service and really goes the extra mile for you. Very honest guys and you don’t see that very often in a service station these days.

I would highly recommend them they have great customer service and they really seem to care about their customers. They kept me informed at all times and made sure I was aware of all issues.

I brought my car in after wouldn’t go back into gear. I thought for sure that would get me good, but after tests revealed nothing was wrong and they give me an inspection everything seem to be fine, and it was free. Wow what a great find thx.

Spending money on a car problem is NEVER fun, but the crew at this location is phenomenal! Super fast, great pricing (considering I only want Cadillac approved parts), and very friendly atmosphere. I recommend this location as often as I can.

Ugh… the dreaded ‘check engine’ light pops up on my dash… I immediately saw images of $$$$ burning through my hands… oh the dread and thought of looking for a shop to help me, I raised my fists to the heavens and fell to my knees begging «why why why… and on rent week of all times» lol ok im exagerating a smidge, but you get the picture. The obvious questions consumed my brain… how much is this going to cost, where do I even go get it looked at. After consulting a few of my man pals they all concluded although non of them are certified car doctors that I should call Aamco. As usual I never go anywhere until I get the final word from Unilocal… I found an Aamco very close to my house, the reviews had me at the first one.
I called over and got the nicest guy on the phone ‘Jim’ he was friendly, super funny and most importantly HELPFUL, so, after a brief chat I had my car towed over to the shop. Jim called me twice with updates and a final prognosis. much to my relief it wasn’t as bad as I let my idle mind think. Aamco fixed my car in a matter of a few hrs, the customer service is impeccable it really is, Jim was a delight, and my car was running again! I recommend these guys to anyone, I found them to be honest, and timely. Thanks Jim and Aamco! From Rachel Charles… owner of the Explorer!

I got by brakes fixed at this shop and within 2 weeks the squeaking sound is back. I was told to drop my car off and he’ll get to it when he gets a chance. I use my car to go to work and I cannot leave it there for extended period of time. I think that is bad customer service and poor way to handle the warranty fixes. I am taking my car back to the dealer, and you should stay away from this shop.
Update: the dealer had to redo the transmission 16 months later. What a shame.

Super professional, excellent service at a good price. My clutch was jamming up and clearly something was wrong. I began searching for tips on google and AAMCO’s site kept coming up so I gave them a call. Glad I did! Immediately helpful on the phone and I brought my car in a couple days later. They diagnosed it a few hours later and had my car finished by the following morning. Clutch now works better than ever and the car is a joy to drive again.
They gained my trust from the moment I checked my car in and I am extremely satisfied with AAMCO’s quality of work, price, and overall customer service. Highly recommend!

What a refreshing experience to bring my car to skilled, knowledgeable technicians that aren’t trying to rip me off. I had a transmission problem, so went to these guys. A problem predicted to take six days, took two. Jim was a pleasure to work with and very lighthearted guy. He also knows what he is doing and communicative (calling with updates regularly), not trying to leave me in the dark at any time. Often as a woman, I feel I can’t trust technicians but these guys were straight shooters and fixed a problem that Ford seemed to ignore. I appreciate it! Also I am happy to see that they will continue to check their work in the months to come to make sure that everything is tip-​top!

Straight to the point; LIARS!!! I had my transmission serviced in June of 2012 as preventive maintenance before a summer road trip. They quoted me the best price around. Only after I paid for the service did I find out that they didn’t actually change all of the fluid in my transmission but only half.
I told myself I would never go back, but when my transmission started leaking just four months after the service I returned to have them check their work. This time around they informed me that the wiring connector was leaking. Whaaaaa? Part of the usual transmission service for this car is to replace that $ 17 part and the O-​rings that come with it. Guess that was not included in the half ass job they did the first time. However, «there is good news» says Jim of AAMCO Canoga Park. They were willing to charge me $ 80 for the part (which was $ 17 at Mercedes of Calabasas) and another $ 240 for the hour of labor it would take to fix. Jim even went as far as to try to tell me that Mercedes charges their shop more for parts than regular customers off the street.
Please, take your repairs to another shop, these guys will rip you off at any chance they get.

If you read my other review about Hamer Toyota, it is why I had to go to AAMCO… which thankfully was the best decision ever.
Basically, awesome customer service. They really want you to feel like you are special to them. They detected my problem immediately and took care of everything in a very timely manner. I would go there again and again. I may actually make them my «go to» service station.
Oh ya, and the price wasnt outrageous either.

Great location, friendly and exceptional service! For any of my future automotive issues I’m coming to these guys, this location specifically.
I recently started noticing my clutch was slipping… bad. I called around and found this Aamco location close to my work place. I brought the car in and immediately felt very welcome. The managers are very friendly, personable and professional. They treated very well and didn’t take me as some chump that had no clue about cars (which I don’t).
I got my quote which they explained exactly how much and what I would be paying down to the penny. There was so much detail I could call around to other locations and compare prices fairly.
The repair took a bit longer than I would have liked, and I urgently needed my car the second day, so the guys at the shopped pushed to make sure it got accomplished by then (properly). I had to get a ride to the location and was late, coming after they normally closed shop but they cheerfully stayed open and didn’t rush me through the paper work or any questions I had.
This was by far the best customer service I’ve had from any automotive repair shop. Walking in I felt confident that these guys were going to be upfront and honest with me. Their humorous and friendly personalities definitely helped. I would highly recommend this location to anyone that has transmission problems or other things wrong with their car.
I would definitely come back here again.
