AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Went to these folks for a clutch replacement 10÷7÷2015 on my 2004 Hyundai Elantra. Got the vehicle back on 10÷8÷2015. Clutch work seemed to be just fine. On 10/​10/​2015 noticed a puddle of transmission oil on my garage floor and called AAMCO about this. They were friendly and requested I bring the car back in on 10/​15/​2015. They called me later in the day to say that the transmission seals were not the correct ones and they were leaking — implied the previous shop put in the wrong ones but they would replace them for free — these seals had been leak free and fine for about 6 months. They called me at 4:30 PM on 10/​15/​2015 telling me that the car was ready but they closed at 5PM. Rushed over and got the car back on 10/​15/​2015 and all seemed well. Within a day or so, I noticed black grease all slung inside and under my hood. Looked things over and noticed they had nicked the left CV boot (Hyundai had just replaced the axles 6 months prior on March 28^th 2015). I’m unsure if I should further entrust my vehicle to them since every time I take it back, they’ve broken or damaged something else …
UPDATE 11÷5÷2015: Called Aamco Ocala on Monday 10/​19/​2015 about the damaged axle boot and they decided to replace the damaged left axle did the work and got the car back on 10/​22/​2015 noticed on 10/​24/​2015 that the left axle seal was still leaking and called Aamco on Monday 10/​26/​2015 about the leak, they asked me to bring it back in … Aamco had the car two days to figure out why that axle continued to leak, they successfully stopped that leak. … got the car back on 10/​29/​2015 and so far so good no leaks but the car now pulls to the right and the steering wheel is cocked off center to the left … until all of these events, this vehicle tracked perfectly. They denied any issue with alignment.
SUMMARY: this car went in for a simple clutch replacement for about a day, (clutch work itself was without issue) and then went back for leaks and damages 3 more times wasting about a total of a weeks worth of my time over the course of a little over three weeks …
I have to say that these guys get an «A» for effort and sticking with getting issues resolved, but no better than a «D» overall It is in no way acceptable for a customer to get their car back with more damage and issues than it went in for and then have to return multiple times to resolve sloppy shop related damages …
I’m pleased that they were finally able to resolve all the issues, but not happy that it took so much time and effort to resolve the issues that kept popping up … makes me wonder if there is other undiscovered damage that might exist … I can’t in good conscience recommend them.
