Paid over $330 for a "diagnosis". Left my car for three days while they were "analyzing the…read moreproblem". After three days I got a text telling me that they inspected my car and "there's a problem with the transmission." REALLY? REALLY?????? They did not identify a problem. "Something is broken inside" does not sound like a diagnosis. The only diagnosis was to tell me that I could spend ANOTHER $2000 for them to "break it down on the bench" and find out what was wrong and THEN it might cost ANOTHER $3000 to $5000 to actually fix something. I wonder why I spent over $330 only to be told the EXACT same thing that I told them when I drove in, "Something is wrong with the transmission". I have no idea what kind of actual work this place does. All I know is that they took $330 of my money and gave me nothing in return. I feel cheated. I believe that an honest mechanic deserves to be paid for his expertise, his knowledge and for the work that he accomplishes. Like any professional, his time is valuable. But an HONEST mechanic does not charge customers for promises made and not kept. He does not charge hundreds of dollars when he knows that it is just money down the drain. An HONEST mechanic would tell people up front that they cannot get a diagnosis for $330. An HONEST mechanic would tell customers that a diagnosis will be much more expensive because it involves so much work. Yes, a two thousand dollar diagnosis would chase away some customers, but at least it would be truthful. Even though this is my first car and I don't have much driving experience, I still knew that "something is wrong with the transmission." This was a con. What I got for my money was just an expensive lesson in human dishonesty and greed.

I was referred Croce's by another local automotive business (who THEY use to get transmissions…read morerebuilt, fyi), for a potential transmission rebuild and/or torque converter replacement. Tony and I took a test drive, after which he suggested my problem was NOT in my transmission... He had high confidence and made suggestions on next steps to diagnose some noises/problems I was having. Tony spent almost 30 minutes with me... I offered him money for his time and he refused. Top notch, locally owned and I would highly recommend them based on this experience.

I stopped into the AAMCO on Main Ave, and from the moment I walked in, Steve, the owner, greeted me with a smile, handshake and asked how he could help. As soon as I explained my concern, he didn't hesitate--he walked outside with me, popped the hood, and grabbed the right oil for my car. He topped it off, made sure everything was good to go, then shook my hand again and said, "I hope you get home safe." When I tried to pay, he wouldn't accept anything. Steve was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely caring. In a world where that kind of service is rare, I'm beyond grateful for his help. If you ever need auto service in Norwalk, this is the place to go. Thank you again, Steve--you made a stressful moment so much easier.
