Russ tried telling me he reached out and filed the claim to SilverRock, however when I took it to Silterhar motors in broomfield (AMAZING BTW!) I got a text confirmation the claim was filed and brand new parts would be placed on my vehicle! To top it off SilverRock did not need to send an adjuster as Russ originally told me. read more

I own a 2010 Nissan Rogue with a CVT transmission, and I have consistently had excellent experiences with this shop. Two years ago, they rebuilt my transmission at a fair price. The team was friendly, honest, and transparent throughout the entire process, and they completed the repair with a quick turnaround time. More recently, I experienced an issue with the CVT Control Valve Assembly. Once again, they were able to get my vehicle in promptly and completed the repair the very same day. Their pricing was reasonable, and the quality of service was outstanding. I have recommended this shop to others and will continue to do so without hesitation. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer service have earned my trust and loyalty. I am very impressed with their work, and they will always have my business. read more

Had transmission issue with a used car purchase, had to take it to one of the warranty required vendors. Scheduled online appointment to take it in. They act surprised when I show up. In the end, they had my car 39 DAYS!! They do NOT call you, you have to call consistently to get any info and then I have no idea of what they are telling me is true. Several times when I did call they pass the call to someone else and then consistently tell ME to call THEM back. Poor customer service!!! I still don't know if any of the stories I was told were valid. But they had my car a LONG time, time will tell if it was done correctly. read more

Do not use this business! We were called on a Fri. afternoon that our car was ready for pick up. I dropped off my husband and went home. The car wasn't ready! An employee drove my husband home and said that the car would be worked on that night and ready in the morning. He said that he would pick up my husband on Sat. morning to get him back to the shop to pick up the car. No one showed up and no one called. It was a long weekend and despite leaving messages, we didn't hear back from them until Tuesday! We were told that the owner, Russ, told the employee not to pick us up and didn't bother calling us to let us know. We were also told that Russ doesn't care about the business anymore and doesn't care about bad reviews. So here you go, Russ. Hope you lose your business. read more

**JEEP OWNERS BEWARE -- EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE** I don't take writing one-star reviews lightly, but my experience with this shop leaves me no choice. I brought in my Jeep Cherokee after noticing issues, and chose this location based on convenience and what appeared to be decent reviews. At the initial visit, I was told the problem was a faulty oil cooler along with some other parts. I paid approximately $1,700 total for the replacement job and was assured the issue was resolved. However, after driving the vehicle only three times in the following weeks, the same issue returned. Since I had already spent a significant amount of money, I had to wait a bit before bringing the vehicle back in. When I did, I was again told the issue was with the oil cooler -- the exact same diagnosis -- and was charged a second time for the same repair. According to the shop's own warranty policy, this second repair should have been covered. Unfortunately, I only realized this upon reviewing my receipts after the fact. It's also worth noting that I was sold on an aluminum oil cooler during the first repair, with the promise that it would be more reliable. Less than a month later, I was told I needed another replacement. At this point, I have spent nearly $4,000, and my Jeep is still experiencing the same issue I originally brought it in for. The most frustrating part is that I will now need to return a fourth time for a problem that should have been properly diagnosed and repaired during the first visit. I strongly urge other Jeep owners -- and all customers -- to take their vehicles elsewhere. This experience has been a waste of time, money, and trust. read more

Today, I was able to make it to AAMCO in Arvada, and upon my arrival I asked a guy there if he could use their code machine to see what was wrong with my car, as there were several lights flashing on my dashboard. He rudely responded, "No, we're too busy at the moment; try the guy on the corner of the street. But his might not be free." I was a bit frustrated, went back out to my car to find out that it wouldn't start at all. I called Roadside Assistance and waited in their parking lot watching them drink their coffee in the office... After Roadside Assistance showed up to jump my car, the same guy (who was too busy to help) came out to say, "what'd you do, break it?" I was able to coast to the next parking lot, where my car died again. Got my car jumped again. Luckily, my car made it to the Goodyear store in Arvada where they were able to get me in right away. Got my car looked at, gave me a quote, and they fixed my alternator. Most importantly they treated me with respect and kindness, which sadly is a dying virtue in today's world. After a chaotic morning like this, I'm reminded that it's really not that hard to take the time to extend kindness. Further, it's disappointing that individuals don't even want to do their job. Welp, I will definitely not be going back to AAMCO. read more

They said they fixed my transmission and it still messed up.i hope they back their warranty or im gonna take further action.

Honest and helpful! I brought my Jeep in with a problem on the manual transmission. They looked at it, researched the problem, gave me an estimate, and advised on possible factory warranty. It ended up being covered under factory warranty, which they could not do. No problem, they wished me luck and wouldn't take any money from me. It is not often that you find guys that are this helpful, and this honest. I felt that they sincerely had my best interests in mind, and the long term customer relationship as paramount. Five Stars! read more

Took my car in for an oil change and inspection. was in and out in a very reasonable amount of time and the price was great! I've been coming here for years and will continue to do so. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I recently have gone through what has been the worst service experience I have ever been a part of. PLEASE take your vehicle somewhere else. After 5 weeks of poor quality work, lack of communication, and many headaches, I just picked up my car which still isn't fixed properly! On July 2nd 2021, the transmission of my '05 chevy express van starting slipping. I contacted an Aamco, thinking it is a reputable transmission repair place and got in contact with Russ Marr, the franchisee located at 6437 Miller St, Arvada, CO 80004. I explained to him the situation and he told me if I drop the van off Saturday July 3rd, he can fix the van by July 8th, 2021. He quoted me $2800-$3400 and needed a $1700 deposit. When I came to pick up the van on Friday July 9th, 2021, he charged me an additional $1866.55 for a total of $3566.55, well above the original quote. Understanding the hard work he convinced me he put into it, I had no problem paying extra, though I didn't have much of a choice. Upon driving the car off the lot, I discovered the transmission was not even close to working properly. The car would rev to the red line before shifting into second and the car would struggle to shift into third afterwards. Fourth gear and onward worked sufficiently but the van was in equal or worse condition than when I had dropped it off. I immediately returned to Russ's Aamco shop and explained the problem. Then began the 4 week game of guess and check. Russ said they now "know" the problem and it will be fixed Friday night. My fiancé and I waited around only to find out it won't be fixed. Russ did not call us but I had to contact him nearly every time to get an update. The completion time quickly extended into Saturday morning and then when they realized their apparent fix did not solve anything, it turned into a Saturday (7/10) evening completion time. Then Russ proceeded to let the van sit for 2-3 weeks before trying to fix it again. After no communication for weeks, I reached out again to which he would say "we just put the van on the lift" or "the part is ordered and arriving in an hour". This continued for another 1-2 weeks. Russ told me on 3 separate occasions that the van will be ready tomorrow, to which I had to coordinate a ride to get up to his shop, just to call him again and find out it is not ready. Eventually, about 5 weeks after leaving my van with Russ, I picked it up and just wanted to be done with this whole mess. I drive around only to find, the transmission is nearly in the same improper condition it was originally delivered to me in. The van won't shift into second gear correctly. I immediately return to Russ's Aamco shop only to find out he personally never even took it out for a drive to see if it was suitable. I explained that the condition of the van was unacceptable and his response was that if the check engine light is not on then it is fine. I called Russ continually throughout the week to make things right and he kept telling me that I need to put more miles on it and then it will fix itself. This is absolutely unacceptable service on so many levels. Russ had every excuse in the book from "not being a magician" to labor shortages and "how could I [Russ] know it would take so long to order parts". I told him that he needs to give me a partial refund to make things right to which he said "I'll look into it". It has been weeks since Russ was "looking into it" and I have no more time or energy to sink into trying to reason with him. I am posting this as a warning to any potential customers to just simply take your car elsewhere! Maybe my car was an edge case and he usually gets it right? I'm not sure. But what I do know is that the failure of communication, inadequate work and undelivered promises I experienced are not worth the risk of repeating. There are plenty of other great transmission shops out there so PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

Awesome experience! Great work and communication. Highly recommend. Russ really knows his stuff and cares.

Don't bring your car to this aamaco they are way behind only have one mechanic on duty full time and Russ the Manger decides when your car gets fixed if he wants to deal with it he had me tow my car there to turn around and say I don't want to deal with it. Now I not only have to pay for a tow but my cars been sitting a week now in which it could of been done all that it needs is a crank bolt removed all of a 10 min job read more

Russ knew what he was doing and he delivered on everything he promised. My truck runs like new again

The people who work here are extremely nice and did good work on my car. But I wouldn't refer anyone here unless you want to risk your car being broken into! My truck was left UNLOCKED (company policy, I know stupid) overnight and my radio was stolen out of my dash. They also refuse to pay for the damages done claiming "our Insurence doesn't cover anything that happens in our lot". The people are nice, but my car wasn't the only broken into today. And this is evidently an issue they've had before. read more

Do Not Go Here!! Dropped our van off in June of 2019 and Russ assured us he could fix the van. After a month in the shop and fully paid for of $3500, it did not run like it was supposed to. Drove the van back and a mere 2 1/2 years later it had to be towed to another shop to be fixed and paid for once again for someone else to fix it. Russ was full of excuses and lies for 2 1/2 years in regards of being capable of fixing the van. There are too many details to list on this review about how bad this entire situation was but after serving Russ with Court papers, he did refund the $3500 before going to court just this week. All he had to do was admit he wasn't capable of fixing the van and return the money as stated in AAMCO's warranty service, but instead he created a hardship for our family and drug it out for almost 3 years. read more

Best car place ever.! Everyone who works here is very honest, welcoming, and nice . We love coming here because they have good pricing and can get your car in ASAP. I would highly recommend coming here with any car issues! read more

Was told our car needed the front brake pads and rotors replaced but after getting a second opinion that's was not the case. Vintage trustworthy. read more

My transmission was making weird noises and I took it in, and they took care of us greatly! Got us in super quick, and kept up communication, and my car is running great, all in less than 3 days!! Great place! read more

Very solid crew of guys! Trustworthy and actually want to help out! I'd recommend them to anyone

I was having issues with my transmission on my Lexus and AAMCO took good care of me. The cost was reasonable I felt, and the issue has been resolved. I have a primary mechanic, but when I needed a specialist these guys did the job! If I didn't already have a primary mechanic I would probably take my cars to them! read more

I am very pleased with the service I got from this Arvada franchise. Like anyone, I was nervous about needing what I expected would be a big transmission job on my work truck. Down time for a work vehicle can be expensive and that does not even include the cost of the repairs themselves. I chose this place because it was near. The manager was extremely friendly, honest and cheerful, and the repairs were done in a timely manner, getting my truck back to me very quickly at what was a very reasonable cost. Job well done! an A++++ facility. read more

I can not say enough about their customer service...We have taken two of our vehicles here and received terrific service. One had a transmission fluid leak, which was an easy fix for the 2002 Saturn, this vehicle also had a previous problem, the vehicle would not shift gears (automatic) another mechanic thought this was a transmission issue, but Russ, at Aamco, found it was an electrical issue, he was correct. We have also replaced the brakes in our 2003 Saturn Vue, and found the price very reasonable and service, second to none. They always stand behind their work and find time to fit you into the schedule. Russ and the guys will be our mechanics from now on, we have five drivers and five vehicles and we couldn't be happier with Aamco's care! The Arvada Happy Fleet read more

If you are looking for a mechanic shop you can trust, you've found it. I had a complex problem that was difficult to pin point and was further complicated by a new proximity sensor that was installed that ended up being defective from the manufacturer. After the initial fix, the problem came back, which really was frustrating for both the shop and myself. I took it back in and I know the shop invested a lot of time identifying the problem and testing out the fixes. I was shocked when I went back to pick it up and they threw me the key and no bill. I tried to pay them something to cover their costs, but they refused to take my money. They felt bad they didn't get it fixed right the first time, even though a big part of the problem wasn't their fault. read more

Had a new tranny put in my truck earlier this year. Russ quoted a good price but acted like I was in the way and an inconvience. Long story short, I took my business to Walker Transmission. they did a great job!! read more

Great customer service from everyone there. I would definately recommend this place and I would return again.

My husband and I have taken our truck in a couple times for repairs and were treated with honesty and fair pricing. A totally different experience that we are not used to! We would highly recommend the staff at this Aamco!!! read more

I highly recommend Russ at AAMCO. He is very honest, reputable and sticks to his word !!

We had our 2003 Red Ford Taurus transmission remanufactured 2 1/2 months ago and the car has been in the Aamco shop for nearly the entire summer. A few weeks after the transmission finished, it over heated and had a 721 error which is a faulty Torque Converter. The AAmco guys didn't want to change the torque converter and tried something else, change the TCC valve. It didn't work. We been waiting nearly 3 weeks and we get the same response when we call. "It will be done tomorrow". We got the same response when we went over to the AAmco shop today. Our car was parked in the far back of the parking lot behind some trucks. Russ said it will be done tomorrow. We will see. More to come. read more

I dont write too many of these yelp reviews, but the service provided by these guys was so out of the ordinary, I have to write something. Russ is a great guy, from the call I made to set up an appointment, to the communication he kept while working on my vehicle, to the treatment of my vehicle while in the shop, honestly people, if you are looking for a local mechanic to go to for many of your car repairs or needs, go here. Trust me, you wont regret it. read more
