AAMCO Transmissions

Had my transmission rebuilt here. They got me in and out quick, my truck is running again, and the workers know what they are doing!

Had taken the Benz in for a second opinion and they were quick to tell me what was wrong with the vehicle and the staff was very friendly, the diagnostic test was free. however the total cost of the repair if the transmission needed an entire rebuild was the same price as the dealer $ 6,700. I had figured it would of been less.
Called Mercedes Benz dismantlers (sun valley transmission) van nuys and the cost is $ 3,500 for a rebuilt transmission and torque converter almost half the cost –installed.

This is the worst place to take ur car waited over 6 hrs only to find out they don’t have the equipment to do it never called me back constantly called them. When I arrived to pick up my car the man sat behind his desk and ignored me for over 7 min horrible service and are not respectful of people!!!

Very rude customer service. Went in to get a diagnostic check and the guy told me it would take 24 hours to do. I read the reviews but will not be back again. Went down the street and they did a diagnostic test in 5 minutes and fixed my problem.

DO NOT GO THERE !!! The free tests is a total scam .they dismantled my car after not being able to «find» the problem… wanted $ 500 to give it back to me. I even went w a tow truck to pick it up… they took off the arms for the tires so couldnt even load to tow away. They had quoted $ 1400 first then changed it to $ 2900! When I complaint the «manager «Adrian threatened me that he would sell my car and I had no rights! Wrong ! But he thought I would give in. I called the owner Chris and he did nothing apparently gives the manager freedom for extortion.
I went back with a witness and recorded the conversation… still threatened me and my witness came very close to throwing punches. finally after hours there he went from 2900−2300−1800−1400…the original quote ! And have him put everything on paper. In bad faith I left my car, they took close to a month to have it ready. I even contacted police to see if I could get an escort next time I went.
Picked up and still didnt feel right. Brought it back next day… they had «forgotten «to put in the bolts for the transmission !! I could of had A major accident on the road.
Afterall this time my car still doesnt feel right… but even w the warranty for aamco… never ever going to step foot in that place!

I took my car here and got great service. They found what was going on fast and gave me a far price. Really nice people and honest

Take your vehicle to this place if your time and money mean nothing to you, or you would like expensive tow bills.
Took my 93Jeep Wrangler and had a full transmission rebuild done. 1200 miles later it blew the front seals out and left me stranded on the side of the road. Had the jeep towed back to AAMCO and had the front seals replaced. It was finished a week later, after they continued to tell me I was being pushed back because of paying customers.
After driving the Jeep for 100 mi I tried to shift into 4 wheel drive, unsuccessfully. I crawled under the jeep to take a look, and would you know, they failed to mount the shifter linkage. No bolts, no nuts, nothing. After further inspection I noticed they smashed the linkage when they installed the transmission. At this point I decided to fix it myself.
Another 200 miles later the Transmission started leaking again. Took back (Now I am starting to lose my patience), and was told I would have to wait 4 hours before they could get to it and it was out of warranty. At this point I decided to just take the jeep back home and call it a loss.
Do NOT take your vehicle here. They will use typical used car salesmanship to get you in the door and then do a terrible job.
They are too worried about bringing in new business to get sales up, instead of doing quality work. Every time I took the jeep back they would try to sell me new work on my jeep. Whether it be replacing a seal or a full rear end rebuild. You have got to be kidding me. I will not let them touch any of my vehicles from now on.

I came here because my car had engine light on; they advertise free diagnostic. I thought this was perfect! I quickly realized it was not so perfect.
This is what they do to get you in «free diagnostic check» but be informed that this is part of a marketing gimmic.
I called on a Sunday, even-​though they were closed someone picked up and I was able to make an appointment for the next day which was MLK day. I took it as scheduled at 8:00am sharp. Took about 4 hours when I finally got a call back –that they needed to do further diagnostic on my truck and that they needed to keep the car for the whole day and it would cost me 285.00 to do a full diagnostic???, well I decided to doit.
This is why this was ridiculous. They did not need my car for an entire day… When I went back they were hesitant to give me a copy of the diagnostic and when they did I only got half of the diagnostic… but anyone could have written that report. I could continue and write and more detailed story but I just want to make a point not go here and I threw away 285.00 but I saved my self and additional $ 800.00 in other issues they said they found. I got another diagnostic and all that came up was a misfire. I had the spark plugs changed and coil and everything is fixed now. Be weary of mechanics like these.

I took my Chevy Lumina here and was told it was free to get it checked out. They told me about the 4 hour wait, but I had no choice other than to wait it out. When the mechanic finally takes my car out for the test drive, he comes back saying he can’t find the problem I’m asking about.
So I go with him on a second test drive and learn that he didn’t even do what I said to make the problem happen — he didn’t even try to drive it in the speed range I told him to and just decided to come back and SAY he test drove my car. Awful! They don’t even look under the hood and tell me what the problem is and start quoting me $ 2000 for a rebuild. I ran from this place.
During those 4 hours in the waiting room, I listened to a con man tell people on the phone that it was better to replace the transmission on their car for around $ 2000 rather than buy another car that «could have hidden problems». He told this to just about every person he talked to on the phone. Then after my test drive, he tells the same crap to me.
Stay far, far away from this place.

Terrible. I got the «free» test, just for them to tell me I needed their $ 200 specific test. Then, the problem was magically solved. My $ 200 of course could not be refunded. The owner was no help, he urged more costly tests. It’s been 2 years, my car is still fine. Rip-​off alert!
