Absolutely fantastic! I asked if they could get my car inspected and the oil changed in 4 hours; they did it in under 2. I dont look like I know much about cars, so Ive had people speak down to me in the past, but not these guys! They were friendly and respectful! Very to the point and made sure everything was correct the first time. They didnt overcharge me and asked me questions about what/how I wanted things done. Thank you!

Discovered today that my muffler was falling off: After calling a few of my usual garages, and been told it would be weeks before any of them could look at it, I decided to give AAMCO a shot. They were able to take it in and repair the muffler the same day! Very impressed with the quick turnaround and service; Ill definitely be back.

Don and his team provide superior customer service and answered all my questions. Their service was a great experience and I highly recommend them for your automotive needs!

If I could write 0 I would...I went in for a Check engine light and they diagnosed a bad cylinder, they tried to recommend me a whole new engine (well used engine with 40k miles) the service almost came up to 10 thousand dollars you would have think I totaled my car. LOL talk about getting over on someone

Great service. Brought my car in for a number of issues - AAMCO quickly diagnosed the cause of the problems and fixed everything by the next day for a fair price. Would absolutely bring my vehicle here again in the future.

I am more than happy with the service that I received. I go here for everything I need. I moved to Pittsburgh during the pandemic and didnt know where to go. The staff here is very professional and kind. They actually listen to your concerns and answer your questions. I got a good price on the tires I wanted, had them replaced and was on my way in very good time. They even checked my daughters tires and plugged a leak we couldnt find. Almost a year later, I went back when my engine splash shield came loose and was dragging. They took it right away and fixed it quickly. I also appreciate that they are not condescending to women. I feel they are efficient, fair, and care about what they do.

I was new to town and dreading taking my chances with an unknown car repair shop. This place exceeded my expectations. I thought I had a fuel leak. Don checked it out and called me back a short time later to tell me that nothing was wrong. He charged me nothing but gained my trust. I will be going here for all of my car care needs from now on!!

I am beyond satisfied with Jeff and the staff at AAMCO Transmissions in East Liberty. I took my van there for a second opinion on a transmission replacement and they quoted me a price that was at least $1,000 lower than the first place. I called and was shocked at how fast I was able to get it in there for a quote. I was even more shocked at how fast they performed the work. In addition to getting my transmission replaced, they replaced my tires, engine mounts and front brake pads. They also did my state and emissions inspection and it was all done for a little more than what the first place quoted me. All I can say is thank you and you now have a customer for life!

I Went in worried about some issues my car was having. They took a look and were extremely professional and personable .they gave me a list with all my issues. They were honest and caring.being a woman in my 20s it was extremely refreshing to have them they’ll me exactly what I need and not just try to take advantage of me and my money.

Review №16

I had a few good enough experiences going to AAMCO in the past for safey inspections and emissions, and getting my winter tires swapped onto my wheels last December or January. Even then, I was kind of shocked that nobody in the shop was wearing masks during the pandemic, but decided to shrug it off.In the spring, I decided to buy a new set of summer tires and to put them on separate wheels to prevent all the mount/dismount wear which was unfortunately tearing up the tire beads. I bought tires from TireRack, some OEM Schraeder TPMS sensors & valve stems from tpms.com, called AAMCO, told them I had the wheels, tires, and new sensors and got a quote for $25/tire to mount/balance the tires on to new wheels. Fair price.Im on crutches from a broken leg, and had to wait until a friend could help me load up the car with everything. Dropped off the car, and within maybe 10-15 min they called to tell me itd be an additional $20/wheel to program the TPMS sensors. What? That is ridiculously high for what is involved and felt like a cash grab that should have been in the original quote, but frustrated and having already left the car there, I agreed.A few hours later, they tell me the car is ready but they couldnt read or program 2 of the sensors, that they must be bad. I asked if they drove the car to maybe activate the sensors. They said they did, and that Id have to get new sensors (they could sell them to me for a mere $100 EACH, when OEM ones are only $25 from various vendors. No thank you.) and that Id have to pay another $25/wheel to re-mount and balance the tires, since the bad sensors were already installed. Why didnt they try to read the sensors first, before installing?I politely asked if they could meet me half-way on price for the frustration. Nothing. A huge rant about customer-supplied parts, saying they never heard of this brand (Schraeder?! The damn car wheel valve type is literally named after the guy), that online companies send sensors with dead batteries, etc, etc. They still charged the $80 for TPMS programming, which they didnt successfully complete. Driving the car home, unsurprisingly, the TMPS system light came on.Next day, I call TPMS.com about the potentially faulty sensor, and they suggest that I try another installer, and were surprised because they test reading every sensor before mailing them out to prevent this kind of situation. I called Goodyear on Station St on a whim, and they told me to come on by. The staff was super nice, brought out their sensor reader/programmer to the parking lot, successfully read and programmed all 4 sensors in a matter of 5 minutes, and for free. Awesome! Goodyear, you just got my future tire/wheel business.I called AAMCO back, explained that indeed the sensors were NOT bad, politely asked for an $80 refund for the TPMS job they didnt even do, and the guy absolutely refused. In all of my past experiences with shops, when something doesnt quite go according to plan or diagnosis, or parts dont work, usually theyre very reasonable about reaching a fair middle ground, or simply refunding the customer. Not this AAMCO, not at all. And never again.

I always take my car to AAMCO Transmission in East Liberty. They have a full service and not just transmission. Dan is very responsive and knowledgeable. They are also very on-time. I dropped off my car in the morning and it was ready by noon while other body shops told me they cannot take care of it in one day. Very professional and polite. I will definitely take my car back there. I have also done oil change and inspection there. They are always and courteous and care about the customer.

Review №19

I visited for oil change and regular inspection in early 2020. They were nice and it was done quickly. They told me my car was in good shape, and no need of repairs. The visit was on Wednesday, then 2 days later, on Friday, my vehicle’s battery died. I brought back my car to their place, they told me that the battery was the time to replace. I was disappointed that they did not find it 2 days ago.Replacing battery was quick even I just walked in without appointment. After replacing battery, I got my key back. Then engine did not start... even with new one. Spending half an hour, they fixed it. My car is working great without troubles since then.To be fair, they are not greedy business style to recommend unnecessary repairs. All the service fee were reasonable and everyone was nice. But I am not fully confident to re-visit them.

I’m writing this review two years late: my car had a catastrophic breakdown in downtown Pittsburgh while a friend and I were driving through on our way home to Michigan after a camping vacation.AAMCO and the entire staff were so professional and kind. It is sometimes difficult as a young woman to find a mechanic that explains to me what is happening without condescending or not bothering to fully explain what is happening — the communication I experienced here at a very stressful moment in my life was top-notch. They kept in contact with updates, let me have time to process to make decisions, and even have solid advice about Pittsburgh since we were stuck there for a night.I remembered to write this review after calling for a copy of my warranty to take the car to a check up at my local AAMCO, and even over the phone they are the most polite and professional crew. Thank you, AAMCO Pittsburgh!

Oh my gosh!!! I am blown away by the amazing service I received from this garage!!! I came in from out of state and started having transmission trouble. Being from out of town, I had no idea where to go. I chose this place solely based on their reviews, and I am SO glad I did!!! Nick was so professional and honest. Communication was easy, quick, and amazing. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He treated me as if I had been a loyal customer for 15 years!!! I can confidently recommend this business... they will provide you with honest, professional, and fair service. I cannot speak highly enough of Nick and the service I received!!! Do yourself a favor and choose this garage should you ever need any work done on your vehicle. Thank you so much Nick!!!

First experience, pleasant; but the second one, disgusting.(Second Time): Went there for inspection, and 2-3 bulbs were out. I asked if I can change them by myself and bring my car back, and their respectful manner changed to a hideous one. They intentionally wasted 2-3 hours of mine when brought my car back to prove that changing 3 bulbs was worth $200. Obviously wont go there again.

I purchased a used VW CC via a touchless process. I took possession of the vehicle only to learn the trunk release was not operating. I took the vehicle to this location expecting the worst outcome. Instead I received a call within in a brief period. The gentleman informed me that the manual override was engaged. When I asked what I owed him? His response was, nothing! What I thought would be the worst outcome turned out to be a great experience. Additionally once I arrived to pick up the vehicle the gentleman provided me with a tutorial. I highly recommend this establishment for auto services

Review №24

Ive never had troubles with my car in the past and so never needed a mechanic. I found this place online after reading the positive reviews. I talked with Nick who took the time to explain their process for their evaluation. They contacted me within two hours after the diagnostic testing. Nick again took the time to explain to me everything that was wrong. He also gave me different options of what would be the best for my car in the long run. At the shop, the entire staff was friendly. I was able to get my car back that same day even though I expected it to take longer.I have come across dishonest mechanics these past few days and felt great relief after talking to Nick and the team. I would highly recommend this place for all the new car owners, those searching for an expert mechanic, and the Latino community. Nick and his team were efficient, honest, and helpful. I will certainly return here for any future issues if they occur and will be spreading the word.

Avoid avoid avoid. Not a soul wearing a mask in the whole garage or waiting area. At this point nobody should have to be asked to wear a face covering, especially in an enclosed space. When I asked the attendant to put one on, he after like I had caused him a personal affront. You never know who is high risk or has family members they are trying to protect for the holiday.

Back in November I needed four new tires, I went to the dealership and they wanted 600.00 to put them on so I just said forget about it I don’t need them, then I found AAMCO in December and they only asked me for 350.00 for all four tires, and it came out to be about 400.00 to 450.00 for everything, the tires and the labor. Much better then the dealership and they were super negotiable. they had my tires in the next day. Dave was able to help me out with everything I needed he also fixed a few little things while it was in the shop too and I was so grateful! I was in and out in about 3 hours of me dropping it off, They worked as fast as they could and did an amazing job! I haven’t had a problem with my new tires at all where at a dealership they sometimes leak and all that good stuff. I recommend AAMCO to everyone that needs work on there cars, they are such nice guys and they are great at what they do!

Review №27

I do not recommend this location at all. After getting new brake pads and rotors replaced they had told me that one of my transmission lines was leaking and had to be replaced. They showed me the spot too. I just got it checked against another mechanics opinion. Needless to say SOMEONE at Aamco got it dead wrong. There was an oil leak, not a transmission leak.If you value your sanity and money, please go somewhere else!!!

So we were broke down and had a meeting that was going to take a few hours. We just drove 2 hours to get here and have no clue what is wrong. We walked over to them asked them to look at it. They were all really busy. They took time to not only go get the car but fix it. We called someone else before we notice they were right there and the other company said no way we can help you today. Vince not only fixed the car in no time but showed me another problem coming on. You can’t go wrong with these guys. Honest, reliable, good at what they do and super fast work. Thank you this shop a million times over.

I needed to have my car pass a state inspection and emissions test as Im transferring my car from VA to PA and while I originally chose this AAMCO location because its within 4 minutes of my house, the service I received here was PHENOMENAL and I will most certainly go back to these guys. The two men I interacted with were incredibly friendly, very knowledgable and accommodating, and made the whole process incredibly easy and enjoyable.Not only should the time dedicated to post this positive review be a testament to how worthy these guys service was, but I am also writing a direct review to AAMCO to applaud their service.

Review №30

A spectacular example of customer service from AAMCO on S. Euclid- I called last week to get a quote to repair a noise my vehicle was making. Don and Vince offered to take a look within an hour of my call. Really cool, easy going, and professional guys. They dismantled the vehicle and diagnosed an issue with the installation of a part that was recently replaced by another shop. Don temporarily fixed the issue (no charge), but noted that the part was damaged and may need replaced soon. He then went out of his way to call the other shop to break down the issue so I could have the defective part replaced by the other shop free of charge. While I’m sure he routinely puts the customer first and expects nothing in return, I want to make sure his honesty doesn’t go unrecognized. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanic shop in Pittsburgh, I highly recommend these guys.

Just moved from out of state and needed to get a state inspection done. AAMCO got me in the same day. I was worried when they called and said I needed new shock absorbers, I felt the car was fine and it had been recently checked out. Im a pretty diligent guy so I took a look myself over the weekend, and sure enough, they were totally blown. Glad to know I can trust these guys. Final price was even lower than their quote and worth not swapping the shocks myself.I will be returning.

I was charged $75 in storage fees after attempting to retrieve my car twice during their stated business hours of 7:30– 5:00. I arrived at 4:30 on Friday and found they had closed early. My car was held over the weekend and then when I arrived at 4:15 on Monday, they were again closed. When I was finally able to get my car on Tuesday, I was informed their hours are 8-4, not 7:30 -5 as stated on their front door, website, and Google page. These charges were non-negotiable and will be the last $75 I spend at this business.

Don and the whole team at this AAMCO are absolutely wonderful. They are communicative, honest and experts at what they do. I have an older Audi that unfortunately I have to bring in fairly often, but the team here is great to work with and always complete the work as quickly as possible. I’m consistently given detailed information about what’s going on with my car and provides with all my options. I cannot recommend them enough!

Don and the team at AAMCO Transmissions and Total Car are absolutely wonderful to work with. I got a flat tire early in the morning and called to see if I was able to bring my car in that day to get a new one put on. Without hesitation Don told me to bring in and hed take care of it. Three hours later I was finally able to bring it in and despite seeing many people all day Don remembered who I was just from one phone call. He called to update me on the status of the tire and told me it would be done that day. He even offered to drive it to my office (I work down the road) and park it in the parking lot so I wouldnt need to worry about leaving work to pick it up. This has by far been the best experience Ive ever had and will 100% be recommending this to anyone who needs their car serviced.

I never write reviews, but this place vastly exceeded my expectations. I needed my truck weighed for title transfer purposes and then brought the truck back to get inspected a week later.

My fiance and I have been bringing our car to Don & the AAMCO team for 6 months now and could not be more pleased with the service, quality of work, and overall experience. Our car is getting old and needs constant attention and care. The folks at AAMCO always go above and beyond to take care of our issues and help guide us through the best next steps. We couldnt be happier with our experience and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I brought my car in a few weeks ago to have it looked over and inspected. Vince and the the rest of the team were so great! Vince was honest about what needed fixed for the inspection and what could wait a little bit. They were also able to fit me in really quickly and were very fair with the pricing. This was honestly the best service I’ve had at any car place since I moved to Pittsburgh and I will be back any time my car needs something. Thanks Vince and the AAMCO team!!

After realizing and being in panic mood. I searched for a place that does inspections. I came across AAMCO in East Liberty. I read their reviews and they were positive. I called and spoke to Nick Bernick explained my situation and he was so kind to allow me to bring my vehicle in. I no sooner got in the door they took my vehicle and I was back on the road within an hour. Thanks to Nick and his team, his professionalism and honesty is what will bring me back. Why do I say this well, while sitting waiting for my vehicle, I heard his conversations with a few customers how he was upfront and honest of cost so they would not be surprised later. Thanks again Nick, I will return for any future vehicle needs. Sincerely Theresa Meyer

Don, Vince and Brian. These fellas are good as gold! Just days before Christmas, my timing couldnt have been worse but they were beyond accommodating. They were excellent about answering my many questions and calling me when they said they would. They diagnosed the problem quickly, explained the details of what was needed and made sure I fully understood and the price was more than fair. Even when I decided the car wasnt worth saving, they continued to be immensely helpful and patient. Regardless of who I talked to, they were up to date with the situation. Ive never experienced such excellent customer service and genuine kindness. I would recommend these folks to anyone.

AAMCO got me in 5 minutes after I called them and I was out the door in 30 minutes. They were the lowest priced inspection around with the best availability.

Review №48

I needed a realistic appraisal of the work that I might need to put into my car, and they did that for me, even though they did not make any money on my car, and they did not even want to take money for their time and labor. Mark gave me a ride home instead of making me wait while they inspected my car, and Don explained everything to me in a way that even I could understand. The owners seem to actually care about customers more than they care about making money. Their honesty and kindness are rare, and the guys even have a sense of humor. I will continue to recommend AAMCO in East Liberty, and I probably will use their services again.

My girlfriend and I came here on a recommendation from the AAA for an emissions inspections. We had a terrible week dealing with another mechanic so we were weary of getting another situation with them. However, when we talked to Don and explained the problems we had with the other mechanic, he said that he understands and would take a look at them in addition to the emission inspection. The whole thing only took a couple of hours which was very reasonable for coming in unannounced right before lunch time! Don was friendly and explained everything very clearly and carefully so that we could understand. In the future, when we need car work, were definitely coming here and recommend anyone give em a shot!

I was having trouble finding a shop that would work on my VWs transmission. These guys got me in the same day I called and were in touch the following morning with lots of information. They not only gave me a detailed diagnostic rundown and let me know about an engine mount issue I wasnt aware of, but they searched out used parts for me and topped up my transmission fluid and oil for free. I appreciated their transparency and the fact that they were willing to discuss several maintenance options in order to meet my limited budget. Great experience overall!

Review №54

Despite the name, this is a full service shop doing fluids, suspension, brakes, tires, alignment and of course, transmission work.I called at 9:00 am for PA Inspection and engine oil change. They got me in on the same day while others were giving an appointment one to two weeks out. Theres a clean waiting area for customers.This by itself is nothing special. Heres what counts:1. I over paid and left the office. Brian (co-owner) ran out to stop me as I was driving away and handed me back the extra $20 Id given them.2. I didnt have the latest insurance card in the cars glove box and it had to be emailed to the shop. Without my asking, theyd left a copy in the glove box for me to keep with the car.The prices are reasonable and service is prompt and painless. Ill be going back here for all future car repair needs.Note: Aamco Transmission is not paying or compensating me in any way for submitting this review.

Don and Nick are the worst ever. Rude and disrespectful. They have no customer service skills and very poor communication skills. They did not want to provide a written estimate.

They need diversity training. They tried to bully me. They lacked any tact and integrity.

I woke up this morning and thought Id be able to change my starter. I quickly realized I wouldnt have enough tools or patience to complete the job. Out of frustration I called the AAMCO shop on 201 S Euclid Ave and spoke with Brian. I told him I was working on my Honda Fit and was having issues, he said to bring it over. I live close so I quickly packed up my tools and drove over. When I arrived, even though he said he was leaving in 45 minutes, he agreed to stay and install my starter. It took him longer than the estimated 1 hour to change a starter, but he only charged me for hour. It only took him longer because the bolts were on extremely tight and the space to remove the battery connection was very small and located in a seemingly impossible location; he powered through without a problem and didnt give up. He even showed me tips I could use in the future since he knew I try to work on my car myself. He was also extremely professional and sociable. Brian, and some others, recently bought this shop from a retiring mechanic and seem very motivated to grow the business. With the level of service I received, Im sure he receive and help many more customers. By talking with him, I realized he really enjoys learning how to fix all types of cars, and if there is something he doesnt understand, hell spend the extra time to learn and get the job done right. Im so relieved I can enjoy the rest of my Saturday and not be stuck under my car, completely frustrated. Please take your business to these guys, this review is the least I can do to say thanks!

I took my car in for inspection earlier this week and had never been to AAMCO before. I worked with Nick, who was not only friendly and fit me in for an appointment the day after I called, but also took the time to talk through his recommendations for my car after the inspection. When I picked the car up later that day (they were very quick!), he explained the work they had done. His customer service was excellent, and I left feeling respected and more knowledgeable about my car.

I was extremely impressed with the customer service and repair service from this facility. The manager, Brain, went above and beyond my expectations. I had to get new brakes, tires, oil change, and an inspection. All of the work was explained to me in terms that I could understand and I feel like I said was fairly charged for my repairs... Plus they worked around my time constraints. (This was a big deal because I travel for work) I dont typically write reviews but my experience warrants one. They were awesome!

Great Service. Spoke with Vince about having mail order tires shipped directly to their shop (new tires needed) and let me know it wasnt an issue. They worked with me since I couldnt get my durango in the same day as delivery.Great job on the tire mounts and balance. While there also had an state inspection done. I had calls from Don (service manager) with thorough explanations on what was needed to pass and what was close to failing. Wasnt pressured to have add on service done. Very happy with the experience!8/17/18 - Had issue with a brake light just before a long trip. Don took me right in and had the light replaced. Great service and good people.

I rarely ever leave reviews but these guys deserve it. brought my BMW to them because of a serious engine oil leak. Dawn was extremely honest and professional over the phone and in person. When he was unable to actually do the repair and recommended I take the care elsewhere, true to his word he did not charge me a dime. everyone at this shop is super helpful and responsive. I will now be taking both my wifes car and my new honda to them for everything. you cant ask for much more than professional service and honesty from an auto body shop. these guys are the real deal. highly recommend.

I went into the shop without an appointment and a check engine light and trouble shifting. I was told by a friend that it sounded like I needed a new transmission. I checked in with Don and within 15 minutes Vince said that it was a thermostat that I needed. Instead of paying $4000 for a new transmission, I was out the door under $300. They were fast and very helpful. I couldnt have been more happy with my experience. I felt they were honest and treated me like family.

One star for terrible customer service. I called looking to get a price for an oil change and a valve cover gasket replacement. The person over the phone claimed that they cannot and will not give quotes via phone and then rudely hung up on me.He claimed that they do not give quotes until a technician has seen the car, and I will not hold you to any verbal quotes and asked to speak to the technician as these are two very standard services. I even asked for just the standard quote for what the parts (2 valve cover gaskets) would be and he refused. This is unacceptable as this is just a standard product and they can definitely provide pricing for that.They ended the call with no warning, and purposefully hung up. Not a way to get business when there are plenty of auto shops around that much more reasonable in the way they speak with customers.

I took my car for inspection in this morning my car front bumper was damaged seriously on the way from Alabama. I live in Alabama and visited here to meet family members here. Tomorrow, I have to return and damaged bumper will be repaired in Alabama, but I was not sure there was no other problem in long time driving. They inspected for a while and said no problem for driving. I was surprised he said its free. How they were so kind for the person from other state. I was impressed and really appreciated. I would like recommend this place to everyone.

I took my car here to get inspected. The customer service was outstanding and very timely. They were accomodating with the work I needed done and provided recommendations on what I should get done in the near future. Prices were also very reasonable!

Writing another review because this is my 3rd time coming to this place..i absolutely love it and it is worth the money. The first time I went it was an ok experience but ALWAYS great customer service its extremely amazing they know my name and car and honestly it seems like Every time I call they already know its me! The way they greet me and are so nice and honest its like they really enjoy their job because I dont believe I have ever seen them on a bad day or they hide it really really well. Their work is very professional and they always get the job done and correctly literally never a complaint and I am a black Latina woman so Im pretty sure ANYONE can come here never discrimination which is great because I have been to some places where my color is a problem...they charged me 350 for one set of brakes and rotors my alignment was 100 but Im also a returning customer brakes and rotors 190, engine mounts 190 and lower control arms 190 but I also brought in my own parts so thats just labor...but overall they are extremely awesome the prices they quote you are literally what you end up paying and they are honest and keep in contact with you so you know whats going on with your vehicle. I never just didnt have the money to get what I needed fixed so I dont know how well they work with you about payments but dont bite off more then you can chew they are 100% professional so their prices are also...i literally love this place and dont think I want to ever go anywhere but here!!!

The shop lost my vehicle! I received a voicemail stating that the vehicle was running in front of someone’s house (my business number was on the side of it) close by and when I reached out to shop they said they don’t know where it is and it’s on me to find it.

Hello my name is Sheridan and I work for UPMC. I came across the Aamco business on the perks page of the Infonet and realized as an employee I receive a 10% discount. This was great news as my check engine light recently came on. So about two weeks ago I stop in at AAMCO drop of my car @ 7:30am talk with Nick he ensures me that they will look into the problem and give me call once they detect the problem. After about a hour and half I get a call back from Nick with the problem and an estimate.....My God was I relieved. I was expecting to spend at least a thousand dollars. Nick called me back and told me that repairs would only cost me about $300 dollars. He also already looked into pricing for my side mirror which was damaged and let me know they could replace that as well. Nick and the staff at AAMCO are fantastic. Actually I can only speak for Nick because he’s the only one I spoke with and had direct conversation with. He was very professional, very nice, and very detailed. I got my car back the same day when I originally thought they would need a whole day. My car runs fine now. Also they have a warranty on all their parts and repair which is just an added bonus. As soon as I get the money to have my side mirror fixed I’m taking it to Nick and the wonderful mechanics at AAMCO.

I gave a call on Friday a little after 8am to get my rear brakes replaced, got my car in by 9 and got it back by 4. Labor was reasonably priced. My check engine light was on and they did a courtesy check and let me know that it was nothing to worry about. They even did a once over of the car and pointed out a few things and never once sold me on fixing them. They gave me a timeframe of how long Id have before they would need replaced. I really appreciated that!! They even figured out why the brakes were a bit soft. It turned out the last shop I had a caliper at broke something. I feel much safer now. The owner greeted me when I walked in the garage and the entire team was very friendly and helpful. Mark did a great job with explaining payment and everything they fixed. Highly recommend this garage!

Ive been going to these guys for a few years now. I completely trust them working on my car. They have always given me a heads up if they notice something wearing down and have even shown me the worn parts. First mechanic I can honestly recommend, Ive never felt cheated by their prices or their work.

I highly highly recommend AAMCO. My car had a series of problems and they were able to address all of them. They were very kind, helpful and accommodating. They made what should of been a horrible situation enjoyable. I will be back!

Ill never do service here. They are nullifying others automotives work, saying things should not be fixed in that way, and then charge you large amounts of money. Their attitude is also very rude.

They claim to fix Mercedes. Took my car in only for brakes. It took them 7 hours to fix due to a part screw up. Then they didnt even replace my sensor so now I have to go back and they claim they have no idea how long that will take. On top of all this they didnt clean all the grease smudges on my white leather! Expected better based on the reviews!!! Very disappointed!

I cannot even describe how AMAZING these guys are! Im a woman from out of state, my car was making a horrendous sound. I googled repair shops near me and this was #1 so I called spoke to Vince and he told me just to drop it off. I couldnt believe how friendly and welcoming they were! I got a call about an hour later that everything was fixed and it was just a rock! They didnt even charge me! I was expecting a few hundred dollar repair! Im just so glad there are places you can trust! Might just start making 3 hour trips out here just to get my service done 😊😊😊thanks AGAIN guys!

4 Stars! I took my car in for a simple inspection and oil change... we needed the blower replaced as it wasnt working and is required to pass inspection. Overall it was a bit pricey but the parts have a warranty and the customer service at this AAMCO as opposed to others we dealt with is phenomenal!!! We are going back for front away bars at the end of this month or beginning of next and Ill have a follow up review. They work fast go get your car in and out. Let them know what you need and they try to accomadate you in everyway, ask for Mick or Don they are amazing... customer service means a lot to us and we will certainly use them with all our car needs!

My stick shift had a problem with 2nd gear for some time and evidently the transmission finally started to ware off as well. They tested the fluid and found out this was one of the problems. They gave me reasonable price for repairs and were very understanding of my own personal situation. I would go here again and recommend others to this location.

Bought my mustang in to have clutch replaced. They were supposed to change rear main seal but it wasnt and now it is leaking every time I go to drive it sounds awful, they replaced my starter without my consent and there was nothing wrong with the startee and if they did the clutch I never received a receipt for the work they did and they charged me over $1100 for a half assed job. I would advise everyone to not take your vehicle to this shop at all. Will be contacting corporate office and the better business bureau on this matter. Very dissatisfied customer.

I trust this Aamco location for all of my cars needs, and with 273,000 miles...I have a lot of them! The Team here is honest, efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and skilled. They take care of me like family everytime. Cars dont last this long without a top notch mechanic taking care of it!

Very dishonest people, watch how bad reviews just disappear with these guys: First, they WAY overcharge you on parts, and you receive a bill which makes your eyes water. If you dont complain, thats it. If you do - AND WRITE A BAD REVIEW - they will ask you to contact them - and post an owners response in their reply and ASK YOU, WHAT IT TAKES FOR THEM TO TAKE DOWN YOUR BAD REVIEW. They will even give you money back! They did it with me, and I took down my bad review.But I am not playing along with their cheating game, so now I post another review which reflects their true bad behaviour, they should be ashamed of themselves! Dont trust their good reviews, they were bribed!These guys cheat with their reviews and they AIM to cheat you as a customer!
