AAMCO Reviews

I was in my 08 Nitro and actually broke down next door to Aamco and eventually went next door to them to ask for help. The mechanic come out to see what he could figure out. He found the problem, a broken shifter cable. I asked him about a price to replace the cable, he said shouldn't be more than $150⁰⁰ to $200⁰⁰ dollars and it was a simple job. So I went to the office, schedule them to fix it.

Aamco did great work. Excellent customer service and I would use them again if I ever in need of another transmission rebuild. Customer service is straight up into the point. Also very helpful in making the entire process quick and stress free with no bs.

AAMCO Fayetteville NC will rip you off. Give you one starter price and then continue to try and nickel and dime additional cost that they do not disclose upfront. They claim they don't do diagnostics but checks and to do a diagnostic on a transmission will cost more. They charge too much money for basic things like an oil change on top, claiming you didn't have any oil in it to safely drive the car. They're a RIP OFF. Beware of this franchise.

I have had my truck back into AAMCO shop 2 times since November 2024. I was clutch issues and this time it was a week before they got it into the shop, when I had an appointment for Friday the week before. Then I was informed that it was installed with the wrong throw out bearing and bushings. Then it was another week before they started to search for the correct part. After today, I was informed they found the part, but it would be a week before they would get it into general shipping. I asked for them to contact the shipper for an overnight shipping, and I would pay the cost. Never heard back from them on that issue. That will put it into a 4 week repair time, that was suppose to be a day. And that is if they get it done then. Customer service and keeping the customer aware has gone out the door. Never recommend to anyone. I am also stranded at home with no vehicle.

Once again, I need to post, that the Webster, TX AAMCO, are liars and do not fix what they charge for. I will never trust them ever again. They are criminals, as they never show you what the part prices are, just rotten service.

My experience at AAMCO (8141 N Craig St, Indianapolis, IN 46250) was frustrating. Quoted $1,100 for a P0713 sensor replacement and fluid change on my 2011 Hyundai Tucson, over double Repair Pal’s $150–$500 range. Manager ** promised an email breakdown but sent it to the wrong address, and only gave vague details (labor $499.50, parts $507, supplies $64.99). I got prices for 1 hour of labor and parts only after I pressed. Despite my dealership’s $180 diagnostic confirming no wiring issues, he insisted on a $319 harness, unneeded for P0713, and $103 fluid for my 2017 transmission’s clean fluid. He claimed ignorance of RepairPal and wouldn’t lower to $250–$500, so I left. Poor transparency and upselling tarnished their 4.6-star reputation on Google. Not recommend!

They fixed my over flow tank and water pump, but now my belts make this funny noise. They also tore up the inside panel on the driver side where my seat belt is. Looks like they pulled the inside of my car apart. I will never go back there.

Absolutely worst service of my life. Drove my car in and spend $6300 and now my car doesn’t drive and I was told since I called corporate they will no longer help me. DO NOT USE AAMCO transmission. They are a joke a scam and a rip off.

I paid nearly $6,000 to AAMCO to fix my transmission, and it’s been a nightmare ever since. The first repair only lasted 2 days before the transmission broke again. I returned under warranty, and the car broke down again shortly after. To make matters worse, the first time I got it back, it had a leak in the axle. After the third time bringing it in, they claimed it had a full warranty—yet that repair didn’t even last 10 miles before the car broke down once more. This time, I had to pay out of pocket to have it towed back to the shop. I also never said anything about having an unlimited warranty for one year, since I wouldn't be able to drive more than 15000 miles in a year. The customer office told me that instead of giving my money back for the rental cars, they would give me unlimited mileage for one year, which isn't good since I wouldn't be able to make more than 15000 miles anyway, which is their normal warranty.

Had my JEEP worked on and as soon as I drove 6 miles the transmission went out again. These guys worked on it for two weeks. After a few months it gave out again. Was tired of going back, so I ended up buying a new truck.

These places are all rip offs, there are no real mechanics at places. They just assume they know what is wrong with my vehicle and don't actually fix it. Now that its still making the same sound and not shifting still, they think I should have to pay them again for a diagnosis to not actually fix my car. The so called manager was a joke, said they diagnosis a vehicle to the best of their ability. Must have gotten their technicians, if you can even call them that, from clown school.

I dropped off my car here for a diagnostic concerning a fluid leak. The next morning I received a call back, assuring me the cause of the leak was a simple loose oil drain plug and oil filter, the issue was totally fixed, and it was no longer leaking. I picked my car up to find, after only 30 minutes of being home, that there was still a leak. I called and the man said it was “residual” and to run it through a car wash and it would be fine. I did as he instructed, but it continued leaking.

They took care of me and let me make payments, so friendly and it was such an easy experience. Thank you guys at AAMCO on Pat Booker in Universal City. You guys are the best.!! Loved that they are a family business as well💜

Ok we took my son truck to them, (HUGE) mistake, my son got robbed. His truck ran and was drivable when it went in. After tearing it down and them telling us what it needed we told not to buy any parts but they did anyway. We were told at one point that that part may fix it so go ahead try it. Guess what it's got a new part and not drivable at all. When we went to get it my daughter in law asked them, "Do I need to bring a driver to get it home?" lady in the office said, "Ya." wow it's home and not moving at all with a new part. They knew not to put in there. They just wanted more money from us. ROBBED

I took my vehicle for a FREE courtesy check at 1821 S S Rd 7, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33317. After two days of getting no updates, I called and spoke to a female by the name of **. She informed me that the battery in my vehicle was dead and that they had to charge it, which took the whole day (RED FLAG). She also informed me that to diagnose the problem, it would be about 4 hours at $169 per hour (another RED FLAG); it does not take that long to put a vehicle on the machine to find out the problem. I thought all along that was what was being done. I was told that she would text me some papers to sign to give them permission to do the diagnostic, and I agreed for only 1 hour at $169.

Filed a claim with CarShield Oct. 2024 used Aamco 1027 E. Gun Hill Road Bronx Ny 10467 as repair service which works with CarShield. Service Engine Light, first scan they claimed it was the transmission, CarShield paid out $6k AAMCO held my car for 2 weeks with no repairs made! No rental from CarShield. Then they replaced the transmission in 2 days, I paid $841 out of pocket. Had the car for 2 days and Service Engine light back on! Came in to AAMCO again, they scan car and now it’s a Mass Flow Air Sensor, Charged me $100 over Nissan’s price of $215.63 $600 total. Picked up car Friday 11/1/24.

Towed my vehicle to AAMCO on Aug 7, 2024 because it had stalled on an intersection. I have a professional scanner & read a simple code for a neutral switch be out of circuit. They promote free diagnosis but then called me & advised it was going to be an electrical problem and was going to be 2 hour charge @$140 per hour for electrical diagnosis. Then called & advised it was a crankshaft sensor @$60 plus 1 hour of labor. Then advised starter had burned (which they had burned) & needed a new starter @$350 plus 2 hours of labor. Later, they called saying that there was damage in the engine & needed a new engine @$9,500 for the engine plus $2,500 to install putting me @ $12,000+. After that, I was frustrated, disappointed, disgusted with their misdiagnosis and called their office wanting to speak with the manager; who returned my call the following day.

I took my truck a 2000 GMC Sierra to Aamco. They did their check telling me the problem was inside the tranny and I had to pay a drop fee for them to take it out and put it in. They said my transmission needed rebuilt and that would cost almost $8,000. I said I will pass in that and asked if the price can go lower. They said they will call me back and hung up. Then I found a transmission that was perfectly fine when it was pulled out of another truck and I took it to Aamco. They said it would be $4,000 to put it in so I said okay. They called me when it was in and said it was a broken transmission. They did not put a warranty on it and when I went and picked it up and was driving home my truck still only had first gear and reverse like they never put the new transmission in. DO NOT GO TO AAMCO. THEY SUCK and these reviews prove it for every AAMCO.

I took my truck to AAmco in Tyler TX. They kept my truck for almost a month and it never got fixed. Lots of empty promises along with fake information. Bought the cheapest parts and tried reducing price when his empty promises caught up with him. Would not give me back my down payment for parts and I decided to have it towed to another shop to be fixed appropriately at half the price. Horrible customer service skills... just tell you what you want to hear to get as much out of you as possible. I advice anyone to stay away from AAmco period. Stay away from this establishment or pay the consequences!!!!

I will never trust AAMCO again. I broke down in Flagstaff AZ and the shop there lost my driveshaft, transmission core, crossmember, AND Bell housing. They were NOT in a hurry to find them and I'm pretty sure they got sold off. Had to pay to have my vehicle shipped home. Never again.

I was traveling from New Orleans to Nashville. Was having a strange noise and gears changing different than usual. I took my 2000 Ford Explorer Limited 262,000 miles in to be checked. Was given priority service since I was trying to get home safely. It was handled by Josh with knowledge and he seemed to care. I'm very grateful to say I followed his instructions and made it almost 600 miles home without incident. I definitely would recommend that business location to anyone who wants an honest opinion of what the problem is.

Scammers! They are just trying to get your information to sell it! No matter what you do you will never be able to get financing and they know it. Financing for broke down vehicles is a losing battle and they know so therefore they will never do that but they will take your info and sell it fully knowing you will be in the market for a new vehicle and that means lot of apps and ways to hide their criminal activity. They are lowlifes.

My 2020 Malibu is in their shop because it had a delay before going into drive, and I told them Chevy dealer would replace it for about 5500 and Mark convinced me that since I drove the car in it shouldn't be worse case scenario. They would charge 1295. To disassemble and reinstall plus the parts so I said go. Once apart they said it would be 6700 To install remanufactured or 5500 for used. GM said the Trans was 2877.+tx and AAMCO said to install it would be 2374. Instead of the 1295. Bringing the cost to me up to 5,748, more than GM originally quoted me. I'm now stuck using Aamco because of the additional 1295. it would Cost to reinstall the Trans and get the car to JM Chevrolet in Lufkin, which offered to take 500 off If I bring it to him because of how this Aamco on Rayford Road is treating a retired senior citizen on a fixed income

Went in for a clutch replacement into AAMCO in maplewood mn. They ruined my 2nd gear in my car. Aamco refuses to fix the problem because all of the stores are not corporate owned. Will never go to this company ever again.

I really recommend Aamco especially the one in Canton Ga. I have been dealing with Mike there and he has went above and beyond in every way possible to help me out and make sure I was completely satisfied.

I took my Chevy Silverado for a transmission issue at AAMCO located at 605 E Main St, Bridgewater NJ. The guy in charge is **, I paid over 5K to get it fixed. Transmission was never fixed properly so I kept taking it back to them, ** was never able to fix it for me and I was in the middle of moving from State, so I brought it to another franchise in my new city and now they are telling me that I have to drop another 5k because it's out of warranty. I called ** to see if he was able to help me since he knew my truck was never fixed, however, he said that I was on my own. I'm trying to get in touch with corporate but no one is answering.

Drove vehicle in. Left. Needed fluid, etc on Transmission. They dropped trans RDI, My vehicle can’t now be driven out. No approval given. Signed nothing. $787.50. For free inspection. Expensive fluid. Must be gold. Why? Because I’m a girl? Help. Screwing me over. After 788.00 I have vehicle I can’t drive. No stars. Don’t even turn around in their lot.

I understand that you want me to rephrase and correct the text you provided. Please allow me to paraphrase it for you. I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received from AAMCO at 202 Racetrack Rd NE, Ft Walton Beach, FL 32547. On June 15th, 2023, I brought my car to your store to fix a battery issue. However, I received a call a few hours later saying that my motor mounts were severely damaged and needed to be replaced immediately. I was quoted $657.27 over the phone, with the assurance that the job would be completed on the same day. Later that day, I got another call telling me that my control arm had been broken during the repair, and the car would not be ready that day. I picked up my car the next day, and I thought the issue had been resolved. However, during a recent inspection at Fort Walton Radiator & Air, I was informed that my motor mounts still needed replacement.

DO NOT GO TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS. On 9/6/21, I was driving around Boise, ID delivering vehicle parts as a full-time job in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport when my transmission goes out. Irritating, but the transmission did have 113,970 miles on it. I knew by the way the Jeep was driving that the transmission was going to need an overhaul, or replacement so I nursed it to AAMCO Transmissions on Fairview Ave.

Due to our warranty Aamco is the shop used so we have no choice in the matter unfortunately. Since purchasing our vehicle we have had it in the Council Bluffs, IA Aamco location twice. Each time we are told our vehicle will be done in a bout a week (this has not been true EVER)! We also live an hour away from CB and both work out of town from where we live so having one vehicle is a huge pain and costs a ton in gas! The first time it took a MONTH to get our vehicle back and this time it has been 3 weeks so far.
