AAMCO Corp Transmissions

I’ve had to take my car in multiple times over the course of the past few months and every time they tell me its a job that will take a day, they keep on adding days. I think they are getting paid by these car rental places because every time you call them back its an extra day here and extra day there. They are a bad buissness because they don’t even fix your problem and misdiagnose the problems of your vehicle properly so you end up with your car more time in their shop then on the road. Since they keep the cars so long, THEY should pay the insurance and registration.

My husband and I took our car to this place to get our transmission done. It was the worst mistake we have ever made in our whole life. It took them a whole week to finish it and then we have to bring the car back TWICE to get it fixed again because they didn’t do it right. My husband ended up having to rent a car to get to work three time in a one month period. It was worst when they said this to me «it’s like taking a patient into the hospital for a heart transplant sometimes you have to bring it back because it’s done correctly». This just made me get really mad!!! If there is a hospital that even does this I will definitely not go there at all. I DO NOT recommend anyone taking their cars in to this place for service. The service was horrible and there is no integrity at all. It is a waste of your money and time! If I had known I was going to use this much money and time for this place I would’ve just traded in the car for something else.

First off, let me say that this was a horrible mistake that I made in choosing AAMCO to rebuild my transmission for my 99′ Maxima. First off, Bob, who seemed to look like an honest man, was in fact not. Nice guy, but dishonest when it comes to business. Bob couldn’t not even give me a price estimate as to how much it would roughly cost to rebuild the transmission. I even asked him what the cost would be for a worst case scenario, and he still could not give me a quote! He began explaining to me that he knew what could likely be wrong with the car before he even looked at it, but can’t give me a price!!! Unbelievable! So he gave us the deal that he would take out and conduct a multi-​point inspection of the transmission for $ 600 to be «safe.» And then after that, decide if we want to further go through with the rebuild. After the inspection, he was going to charge $ 2,800 for a rebuild!!! Freaking insane! That’s more than the value of the entire car itself! AND ITS ONLY FOR A MANUAL TRANNY. Obviously, since the transmission is already taken apart, we decided to go thru with the job just to get it over with. Managed to knock bob down to $ 2,400, which is still expensive. Don’t make the mistake my father and I made by letting a rude and dishonest mechanic reach into your wallets. If you see an AAMCO shop on the road, just keep driving past it. Don’t even bother looking!

This dealer charged my friend $ 2000 for a rebuilt transmission with a 12 month or 12,000 mile guarantee. At 12 months minus 2 weeks the transmission died but my friend had driven more than 12,000 miles. They refused to make good and even wanted to charge 800 dollars just to check it out. A transmission should last more than a year! Rip off!
