Very good. Will definitely be returning. I have always wanted to find a local mechanic and finally found one. Look for Craig and David, they provide better overall value than going to the dealership. It tends to get a little busy at certain times so be patient and they will definitely get back to you. read more

Craig is a trust-worthy manager. He fixed the defogger on my Ford Fiesta in one day at a very reasonable price. He assured me that they not only fix transmissions but everything except tires. read more

Craig and his team are forever the best ! I recommend EVERYBODY to use them ! They are great at communication , I love there prices and they are just all around amazing people . read more

I recently had problems with my car. I thought my transmission was going, and I brought it here expecting a huge bill and a long repair time. I was also half expecting to get duped into unnecessary upcharges. Boy was I wrong. Craig is absolutely one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He made me feel comfortable with the work her was doing, and he charged a VERY fair price for his work. He finished when he said he would, and for a fraction of what I was fearing. He is definitely my new favorite mechanic, and he seems like an all-round great guy. Do not hesitate to bring your car here. I recommend him to everyone I know!! read more

Well deserved of a 5-Star rating. I recently took my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer after it dumped all of the transmission oil and it was not shifting right, or even go on reverse. Knowing that this is not normal, I made it home and did not drive the car. I had the truck towed to AAMCO on a sunday after reading the reviews. The tow truck driver dropped it off and dropped off the keys in the drop box with a note I wrote. Monday John called me with some news. He was direct, no BS, straight to the point. Turned out it was that my transmission cooling lines were shot and had ruptured, but my transmission was in good shape. Saved me almost $3,000. He got the work done in one day. Called me and told me my breaks were bad and got them done there too, for a very good price. I cannot explain how hard it is to find honest mechanics. I'm sure if I would have taken the truck elsewhere, I would be charged for something I did not need, like an brand new transmission. John, the chill girl at the front desk who stayed there past closing because I got off work late, and Craig Moss, who sent me a thank you card(pic attached), I want to say THANK YOU. You know I'll be bringing my truck back for any future repairs of any kind. PS: My truck is riding better than it used to. Very impressed with the quality of work and customer service. You guys rock! read more

AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care - Thank you card from AAMCO. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

They were able to find and fix the problem I was having my air conditioning and had my car back to me the next day. The auto shop I took it to before AAMCO was unable to figure out the issue and had my car for several days. The difference is clear as day as I see it. They won me over me as a new regular customer. Bonus points for the owner Craig being a cool guy who wants to help you and has good customer service. Nick D. (Edison) read more

I recently had my transmission go in my 2015 Honda Fit. I took it to the people who know transmissions the best. The owner Craig is an awesome guy and helped me understand everything that was going on with the car. He explained the damage and the best way to fix it and get me back on the road. He does great work and cares about his customers. During COVID and over a holiday weekend he had me good as new in a few short days. He went the extra mile to give me all new fluids in the car, threw in an oil change because it was due for one and inflated the tires to make sure there were no lights on the dash as there were when the car arrived. I am very thankful for the hard work and staying a little later than they were open to get me my car back as soon as possible. Will definitely be coming back when I need more servicing. read more

First time coming here and it was to get my headlight replaced. These guys know what they are doing and they do their best to get you the best deal and quality. I've received quotes from other places and they were all trying to charge me twice the price I actually paid. I came here anticipating a hefty bill but to my surprise, it was very reasonable and a great price! They were super honest in letting me know the options Of where they could order the part from and their decision to choose the cheaper order for the same thing. I don't know much about cars so I'm not going to try and pretend I know what I'm talking about, but the point is they made me feel super comfortable ! and that I, as well as my car, were in the right hands. I left feeling super happy and my headlight looks as good as ever! Definitely going to come back before I move away to get my regular services from them. Thank you guys again! (: read more

My 2007 Chevy Silverado would start, then not start, then start again, randomly. The starter motor was fine, and the battery had just been replaced. I took it to a local tire shop which advised it needed a new fuel pump, so $1000 later, I had the truck home and it was still starting only randomly. I then took it to Aamco on Amboy, who took more care in diagnosing the issue, and advised that the problem was electrical, which made a lot of sense. They got the parts and had it fixed back up in less time than the first place, and at a price that mechanic friends of mine confirmed was fair market value. There's no need for me to ever go to any other car care place for any reason, these guys are the best: professional, courteous, friendly, and patiently explain what they're doing. Five stars - I wish I could give them ten stars. read more

Don't trust this place! I brought my mother's vehicle for an oil change and a courtesy check. I specifically asked the manager to do to a thorough look as it was not used much during covid. When I went to pick the vehicle up, I was told the vehicle was completely fine. A few months and 294 miles later I took the vehicle to not one but two mechanics who advised the vehicle needed new rear brakes, rotors, and rear shock absorbers. There is absolutely no way that a courtesy check was done because the start of any of these issues would have had to have shown up with such a short times period and low number of miles! read more

This is an excellent repair place. Brought my Honda Civic in for transmission troubles. Was quoted 800-1000$ at another business. Had to leave it over the weekend until they could look at it. That Monday I contacted them and they quoted me 750$. I was expecting another two days or so for them to fix the car. They contacted me in about four hours that it was ready. Craig told me that he wanted me to bring the car back in so they could re check everything to ensure everything is in working order. So will definitely be bringing future business here! read more

Craig will take care of all your car needs. I was referred to him by my local firestone when they couldn't diagnose the problem correctly. He did it all in one day: diagnosed my rear wheel speed sensor problem on my 16 wrangler, order the parts, and fix it all before close. What a guy and i found my local car shop for all my car needs! read more

I have been dealing with Crieg for about 13 years. This man takes care of my entire family. He is my full service auto shop. He runs the most honest reputable mechanic shop I have ever dealt with. Last month my brakes were making noise. I told him to "just fix it. I don't care what it costs". 30 minutes later Crieg called me and said "your car is done." I went back to his store and discovered that the brakes just had dust in them causing the noise. He did not charge me a penny! Crieg could have told me I needed $1000 in work and I would not have questioned him! He will forever have my entire families business. Thank you Crieg for being so honest! Thank you for all the amazing repairs you have done for me over the years! Not only are you my mechanic, you are my friend! read more

Recommended by a trusted family member. Turned out to be a great experience. My BMW was leaking oil from valve cover gasket. Craig booked a mutually convenient appointment and repaired my BMW quickly. Craig reported to me that the tires were really at the end of their life cycle ( I knew this but hadn't acted) He was able to get the exact match and install in record time! We were blown away! Thanks AAMCO and Craig and German Car Tech! read more

I recently had my car serviced at AAMCO Transmission I was very impressed! I received excellent service on my vehicle and friendly and respectful customer service! I would highly recommend getting your car serviced at AAMCO TRANSMISSION of Metuchen!!!! Happy Customer, Kathy G. read more

My transmission was misfiring and slipping. After going back and forth a few times I took my car to Aamco. Craig was very helpful and explained exactly why the problem was and how to fix it. The car was ready when they said and they made accommodations for me to pick up because I couldn't during regular business hours. When I went back for a follow up Dave was awesome. He is the nicest guy you will ever find. read more

Hands down the best place in the area for car repair and maintenance. I've worked on cars since I was a kid, and my first test for a shop is, as a woman, to bring it in tell them what I "think" is wrong and see what the come up with and try to sell me. Craig was great. I brought my car in, it was an emergency situation, and Craig made sure it was a priority. Here was no-nonsense and straight to the point about the correct issues and price (which were very reasonable). Also told me about other issues that would need to be addressed, and he was correct (I already saw them). Got my car back purring like a kitten. Great family owned business. read more

If I could give it six stars I would. The hospitality at this location is phenomenal. They go above and beyond to make sure you know exactly what is wrong with your car and they don't try to get over on you. Highly recommend to anyone that is having car trouble. read more

I took my '11 Honda accord v6 coupe there to have it scanned because my check engine light came on, and I knew I wouldn't pass inspection. What I dreaded the most became true, that I needed 2 catylitic converters. I called them up and dropped off the car the next day. I was told exactly what I needed, and was given a very fair price. Nicole, the sales rep, called me back on two separate occasions saving me money each time. Dropped off on a Friday morn, and picked the car up Monday afternoon. Brought the car back 3 days later so they could scan it to see if I will pass inspection, sure enough I did. This shop comes highly recommended. Great service, great prices and peace of mind. read more

I brought my car to AAMCO after my dealership didn't reattach the undercarriage splash guard securely after an oil change. Craig took care of this minor issue immediately (even while very busy), and didn't charge me anything, to boot. I plan to bring my car back here if and when I have any more significant issues in the future. Kind, courteous, and exceptionally professional! read more

I had a problem with my van that many mechanics said I needed to go to the dealer to have fixed because they didn't have the proper equipment to fix. So I Googled shos and saw Aamco that was not too far from my house. I called and Craig, who is the owner, picked up the phone and instantly I felt comfort. He said, "Sure, that's our speciality!" So we made an appointment and drove our van there and being a one car family we were prepared to either wait there or call a cab to take us back home. When Craig arrived he explained what he would do and offered us a ride home as well as a pick up to come back when the work was finished. We received a few calls from him explaining the steps they would take and the cost (which was way below the dealer's price so we gave the go ahead. The van is like new and this is my family's and my new auto mechanic. A true family owned business that treats you like family and delivers great work and customer service second to none that I have experienced. read more

Craig Moss took great pains to ensure that my alternator was replaced in quick time right before the holiday weekend. Cost savings over taking the car to the dealership was significant; but just like any other large repair do your research and make a decision based on your comfort level with your mechanic. Craig had been utilized by the car's previous owner and she trusted AAMCO with service of several of her and her husband's cars. Thank you! read more

Attention Staten Island My transmission went on my 2010 Chevy suburban. I wanted a mechanic that was reliable, trustworthy, and who really understood transmissions. I live in Staten Island and found a real gem right over the Outerbridge crossing. I was initially impressed with all their 5 star reviews and now I know why. The service was excellent and Craig was very pleasant to work with. My truck is running like brand-new. I highly recommend anyone looking for a good mechanic look no further. read more

I spent $2300 to get my transmission repaired at this place. After 2 years and less than 15k miles, the transmission broke. These guys would not cover the repair cost and they would not repair it for discounted price. Recommendation: Do not go to this shop. Check out other local transmission repair shops. read more

The absolute best service center! Excellent customer service! Extremely knowledgeable and professional yet friendly and accommodating! Craig and his staff were top notch,genuinely nice guys! My wife and I went in stressed out over the prospect of a huge repair bill and long delayed service ,and left with a smile and confident knowing we were I good hands! And ...we got car back ahead of schedule! Hooray! 5 star service!! read more

Great customer service. Craig is courteous and explains everything well. My son's car was done in a timely matter. They even provided a ride home from dropping the car off. The overall price was a lot even with several discounts applied. But, I feel confident that the workmanship is quality. I value quality expertise and good customer service and care above saving money. I'd recommend Aamco of Metuchen to any one who wants to be treated like his or her business is appreciated and his or her car is in good hands. I even received a "thank you" card in the mail. How's that for a great personal touch? Thank you guys for taking care of my son's car. read more

These guys act extremely nice, respectful and friendly, but that's just because they have it down to an art. From the moment you walk in they are priming you for a large rebuild project. Step 1: When you drop the car off they are extremely friendly, and tell you many times that they are a family-run business and have an A rating from the BBB. While being friendly and joking around with you, they mention things like "A transmission rebuild is cheaper than buying a new car" and "Is this a car you'd be prone to fix?" to plant the seed in your mind that this isn't going to be a small undertaking. They offer to run diagnostic testing for Free, explaining how the testing involves the process of elimination to narrow down the issue. You leave thinking about how lucky you were to find them! Step 2: After you drop your car off for testing, their first follow-up call is to let you know that "it is not looking good." When asked what is wrong and what they found with their tests, they give no details about what they think is wrong or what they checked and ruled out (what happened to that process of elimination?). They say they still have more tests to run but just wanted to give you a heads up that it's "not looking good" and will probably need a complete rebuild. At first you think how nice it is for them to give you this "courtesy" call to keep you updated, but then you wonder why they're talking about a rebuild if the testing isn't complete and they can't tell you what they ruled out... Step 3: At the suggestion of a friend, you decide to drive by the place just for good measure, and find that your car's still sitting in the parking lot, in the same spot where you left it -- untouched!!! Shocked, you go in and ask for your keys back. They say their "rebuild guy" won't be in until later to look at it and "finish" the testing. To be fair, they May do quality work when hired to do a transmission rebuild - I really don't know. But personally, I wouldn't trust them. They lied to me about testing my car and tried to sell me on a complete rebuild without ever having looked at it. Suffice it to say, the "free testing" they perform is overpriced! read more

The AAMCO in Metuchen is one of the most trusted shop that I ever encountered. I have been to other AAMCO within the area and their honesty and workmanship is subpar compare to this shop. I took my Audi to this shop because of a leaking transmission and the mechanic found other leaks, but they fixed all leaks at no charge to me. My car was covered under AAMCO's transmission warranty from NC and Craig made this transaction go as smooth as possible by contacting NC's shop and honoring my warranty. Other AAMCO within the area were giving me trouble because it was not repaired at their shop, but not this AAMCO. I'm extremely satisfied with this AAMCO's customer service, honesty, loyalty, and their respect for the military. I highly recommend this AAMCO, especially for all military members because this is a military friendly shop that provides military discounts for all repairs. read more

By far the best auto repair service I have ever received! The guys were honest and worked with my warranty, they took care of my Wrangler's wobble problem that other mechanics couldn't right away; and the guys had no interest in over-charging or putting in work that I didn't want. I initially waited to write a review because I was anticipating having to send my car in again, as I have done in the past. But, it has been about a month and I have nothing but great things to say about the service after giving them my business. Definitely a trust worthy place to take your car. Thanks again guys! read more

After I was involved in an accident with a Progressive customer (his fault), they kept my car for two weeks and fixed it - or so i thought. After a string of calls and emails to them advising them that my car was getting worse and worse slowly, my car died. The AAA tow guy was nice and suggested AAMCO in Metuchen saying that they are the only people he lets fix his truck. Craig Moss at AAMCO was kind and his team of expert mechanics quickly diagnosed the problem and told me i would need a transmission. Needless to say I was devastated knowing that the cost was more than I could possibly afford. Craig quickly reassured me that the damage inside the car seemed to be from the accident - the mechanics used by Progressive to repair my car had somehow neglected to do the work right. I was so worried, but Craig put my mind at ease when he told me that he would do everything he could to make sure that the Progressive Investigators knew that the problem was caused by their inept mechanics. Days later when Progressive told me that I couldn't use AAMCO and called Craig to tell him he was wonderful and told me that even though I wasn't going to have him do the work ( I couldn't since the repair was still under warranty and Progressive would only pay to have it fixed by the same team that ruined my transmission) he wanted me to return a week or two after the work was completed so that he could have my car checked out completely to make sure they did the job right - FREE OF CHARGE!!!! who does that? Craig does that..that's who!!! I can't say enough about the comfort I felt during this horrible ordeal thanks to Craig Moss. I will recommend his shop to everyone I know and take my car there for anything I need from now on. He is honest, straightforward and a really nice and decent guy. read more

Great service. Always helpful and pleasant. My whole family comes here and we all highly recommend. Prices are reasonable. Highly efficient. read more

The shop runs honest as far as expectations about when car can be worked on and done. They keep you updated on what is going on. I would come back here for car issues. I should have inspected the before I left there was a wiring cover that wasn't placed back on, minor and easily fixed. read more

Craig is amazing and the best I know. Straight-forward and tells you how it is. Reasonable pricing and great all around. My brakes were going out and called in to explain my situation, they sent a tow truck right away and I received my car the next day. THANK YOUUUUUU. read more

2003 Acura TL, 136,435 miles, busted transmission. I can't begin to describe how happy I am. I probably have one of the biggest headaches when it comes to repairs, busted transmission. I actually paid extra out of pocket instead of having insurance company pay because of the fantastic reviews here. Craig and Howard took my problems up quickly and went right away to work to fix my transmission. They only used about 2 days of work to strip out the broken one, rebuild and reinstall. I'm super pleased with the work, the car works like a charm. They did not sell me unnecessary work but instead offered me free improvements while the car was taken apart. They pretty much replaced my two belts for free and told me later that they noticed the brakes were warped. They didn't put any pressure on me to have it fixed but they said they were capable of doing it. I chose to do it and they saved me $300 on it. They honored my $100 off coupon even though I forgot to bring it. They took the time to explain was wrong, revealing that I actually wore my transmission down to barely functioning and assured me the problem was well over. They even were kind enough to help me remove a broken plate around my license plate. They also even offered to come to my work, waited an extra 10 minutes for my meeting to end, then drove me back to the garage, they even allow you to drop your car off then drive you to work (as long as it's reasonable distance) and come get you when your car is done. Thank you so, so much, Craig and Howard! You know I will be back and telling all my friends and family about their amazing treatment and even more amazing work! read more

Craig and Howard and their team of guys always do an exceptional job and make going to this aamco location a fantastic experience. They are professionals but also know that people come first and that's hard to find in this day and age. I'll keep going there and recommending people to go there as long as they stay open, and clearly with the fact that they are always staying busy, that should be a good long while. read more

These guys are great customer service and they bend over backwards to help you out with wheels when your car is getting worked on just ask John read more

Recently when my 2008 Acura TL started having transmission issues (right after warranty was out.. ugghhh)--I was referred to this place by my local trusted auto mechanic. Right from the moment I arrived, they were on point & I knew I was at the right place. They talked to me about options to fix the problem with the cost and even discussed pros/cons of putting that kind of money in a 6 year old car with 100k miles on it. The owner 'Howard' was very professional, knowledgeable and honest which is tough to find in the car garage business. They kept me inform periodically for the week long job and even offered me ride to the car rental place when I dropped off the car. When I went back for a follow-up, Howard thanked me for the business and asked to stop by anytime if I had any other problems. I was thoroughly impressed with how he runs/manages his business. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I will be sure to return for all my car fixing needs. read more
