My experience was not great at all I had my transmission fixed/replaced. My car was in perfect condition multiple times it was there until march 06. It took almost 4 weeks to get my vehicle back. I picked my car up on march 26 to find out that my car now had rear body and trunk damage. Someone at the shop lowered my car down off of the lift with an object under the trunk floor area. Which cause my spare tire area to cave in. they denied to take responsibility of the damage except my rear bumper. Now I have to basically walk away with damages to my vehicle that they caused. FOR FUTURE REFRENCES PLEASE TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE YOU DROP IT OFF TO THEM SO THIS WONT HAPPEN TO YOU. Bring at your own risk!!!!!! read more

Straight shooters. Good work. I give it a 90% out of 100. If you have multiple issues, write them down and attach to service order. Busy garages tend to have guys that stay relentless on something until it's fixed. That's a good thing. But make sure the work order has thing #2. Pricing is fair (meaning good and straightforward). They look out for you. Vinnie sources parts carefully and thoughtfully. Mike is solid. They're all on the ball. I'll go back. read more

The customer service at AAMCO sucks, at least at this location. The person who answers the phone is the rudest I have ever seen, and I have seen many rude people. They were yelling at me and hang up the calls. Even zero start is more for these guys. read more

Aamco rebuilt my transmission and crashed my vehicle on the test drive. In my opinion, the owner was rude and uncooperative. In my opinion, I paid top dollar for a transmission rebuild and left with a vehicle badly damaged in an accident that I had no part of. I would not recommend this business to others. read more

if I could give zero stars I would they did a rebuild on my car 3200$ later and now 7 months later my transmission goes out again so clearly they didn't fix it right so here I am without a car again id never recommend this place to anyone read more

I had a transmission that was no match for the mountains! I did limp to Albany, where I was able to get my car into this shop quickly, and even though they know I won't be a repeat customer, they were able to get the car repaired right when I needed it to drive back to Indiana. They were friendly, their assessment of the problem matched what I was experiencing, and they were able to get me back promptly - which is amazing especially since this happened on a holiday weekend, so a lot of services were taking vacation at that time. All is good! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I'll never forget the first time I went in there thinking I was going to require a job that would cost well over $900 for what I thought was a new steering rack (this is what the place down the road across the street told me I needed)... but Vinnie had his guys look at my car - all I needed was power steering fluid and the bill was a total of $12. I knew from that moment on who my mechanic was going to be. That was back in 2010. Since then he has serviced all 3 of my vehicles throughout the years and has become a very trusted and dear friend of mine. I've referred my friends to him because I know that they're in good hands, and more importantly, honest hands. read more

Who ever the guy is that answers the phone is beyond rude. My job paid 2,500 dollars to have my transmission fixed because i could not afford it, this was on a Wednesday. I was told the car would be finished that Friday. I called Friday to see if the car was fixed and was told i needed to pay another $396 dollars because the axels needed to be fixed as well. I told them i would Not be able to pay that because all week I've been paying for Ubers to and from school and work. The guy told me okay, that i could pay when i recieve the money and that they would release the car but would not release the warranty for the breaks. Monday morning i called to find out what was going on and when the car would be ready and was told later on that day. Still the car was not ready. They called me Tuesday morning and said the car was ready and that they used one old axel and one new axel so the price went down on what i owed, then he proceeded to tell me that they can't wait for payment and wouldn't release the car. My question is why wasn't the price of the axel added into the 2,500 that my job paid ??? Why would that not be disclosed when the payment was made from my job ??? Now i can't afford to pay the 3 something because of me spending money on Ubers for a week and plus the extra days in which the car wasn't ready when he told me it would be !!! So now this means more Ubers again to get to and from work and school which i don't even have and not to mention i don't get paid until November 5th because i get paid every other week. This place is a rip off and very unprofessional ! Next i will be contacting the better business bureau !!! read more

Superior prices, and great work that includes a nationwide warranty. I had two motor mounts and a new transmission floor shifted installed at the Aamco on Central ave. Orange Motors Ford wanted 1,362.00 for the job. Firestone wouldn't touch the Floor shifter job saying that they couldn't beat Ford since they would be getting the parts from them. Firestone wanted 528.00 for just the engine mounts. Aamco did the entire job for 598.00 a savings of 765.00 over Ford or Firestone. The mechanics at Aamco actually fixed some of the parts as opposed to ordering all new part assemblies. Aamco warranty's all of the parts regardless. Bye bye Firestone! read more

Replaced manual transmission in Jan. 2013 with used tranny with 48K, only to find that replacement tranny is leaking, most likely due to bearings, less than two years later. Of course, that all cost me $2,000 to begin with, but warranties being warranties, I have to suck it up and pay at least $1250 to replace the replacement tranny after less than 20K miles. What's to like here? read more

I was visiting family in central NYS, but on the way from the West my old Suburban's tranny gave up the ghost. I called these folks, was given a decent quote, and dropped off my vehicle the following Monday. By the end of the week, I had a wealth of info via a few phone calls with the shop, and then boom: my truck was fixed. I felt they did an excellent rebuild job, charged me a fair price, but most importantly kept me in the loop throughout. It was a pleasure doing business here, and I would highly recommend the shop. I've been lucky this year: an honest Chevy dealer in western Iowa when the fuel pump croaked, and now these guys. Thanks, AAMCO on Central Ave.! read more

Called on Wednesday and was told to bring in the car anytime. We stated that we needed specific repairs that were mostly related to a warranty they serviced as well as some routine work. Left the car in their lot since they were closed prior to 5:30 as listed on the door. Called Friday afternoon to check, and was told they could not get to it until Monday, but the work would be done then. They called on Monday to advise they could not get to the car for a few more days, and that they were not able to address potential warranty work related to electrical components(covered by the warranty). After this run around, we brought the car to another shop that covered the warranty. Needless to say, we will never return to this shop. read more

Horrible service I bring the car 9 am on Friday and 10:00am on Monday they don't really can tell when it will be ready or even tell me where is the problem coming from I being renting a car for 3 days because they can't do a 8 hours job. Plus they acting like doctors doing a head transplant, I don't know about the others stores but this one on central ave have a very bad service if you looking for good service where you pay ( because I have to pay) happily find another place because this people don't have respect for customers. read more

I wish I could give them 0 stars this was the absolute worst mechanic I ever been to in my entire life... HORRIBLE customer service, they try to up sell and overcharge you for everything, the mechanic Vinny even tried to sell me a part that was not available for my car. They never give a direct answer, if you ask a question about a part they will get an attitude, and tell you you are asking to many questions, Vinny could not even tell me how he got to the price he quoted. I was quoted $2800, when i went through the charges we only got up $2150, and they had no explanation of where the other $650 came from.THIS BUSINESS SEEMS LIKE A COMPLETE SCAM, SO NEVER GO HERE YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF. read more

I had brought my car to this place a year ago. They replaced a part with a generic part and charged me twice the amount of labor to install this wrong part. My car was never fixed properly there. When I went to a new place to get my problem fixed, I was told to bring back the generic wrong part from AAMCO that was put into my car back from a refund. When I went in for my refund I was treated horribly. I asked for a receipt for my records saying that I was refunded the money and had returned the part. The manager became irate, arguing with me that he would not give me a receipt. Probably trying to cover his own ass so I wouldn't have record that they charged me 3 hours in labor for something that should have taken a half hour and then gave me a cheap part to balance out the cost. Not the right way to fix things. Once I finally got him to give me my receipt, he threw the receipt and my credit card at me. This is unacceptable and even though it was a year ago or more I still remember how much of an asshole this manager was. You don't treat customers this way because they found out you were trying to pull a fast one over a young trusting girl, just trying to get her car fixed. I would NOT recommend EVER going here; they are a bunch of crooks. read more
