Came here a few weeks ago. Unfortunately they dont do interiors, fortunately the guy running the place was super helpful and informative. He even led me to a buddy of his that does interior work fairly priced. Really welcoming. Yes theres a waiting room. Its air conditioned. If i ever run into other issues im coming here from now on read more

I have taken numerous cars here. Their service is outstanding. They do their best to keep to deadlines, but always check in with me if there is an unexpected delay. They have honoured any warranty claims that I have had. Brad has always been extremely helpful and honest in my deal with him. This is not a quick lube type business, it deals the most highly complex parts of a vehicle and so takes longer to diagnose and repair. I have learned to understand this. read more

AAMCO quickly identified and fixed a leak that another shop failed to resolve after multiple attempts due to a misdiagnosis. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient--highly recommend. read more

Don't waste your time or money here. Paid $3,600 dollars for a transmission upgrade rebuild. It didn't even last 6000 miles. Called and spoke with owner Brad. Got the run around and refused to fix under warranty. Didn't even offer any kind of refund. Don't trust him and now our company will not even do business with him. read more

! BEWARE ! These guys are legit scam artists. They will start off by giving you a reasonable estimate of time and money to fix your problem. But the first fix will take weeks and "unfortunately, won't fix the problem". Now that you are desperate to get your car back, you will be told that your vehicle is "undrivable" or "on the rack" and the only way to get it back is to spend an exorbitant amount of money. Ultimately, I drove my car into their shop and had to get a tow truck to retrieve it nearly a month later. read more

Had a couple recent visits here to have our truck repaired. Both visits the vehicle sat all day before being looked at . The first visit took two days . One to sit one entire day to repair. Paid 300 plus dollars for repairs. Three weeks later back with similar issues. Truck sat the entire day and nothing done or diagnosed. I go over to shop to discuss in person when multiple phone calls to shop get no answers. The diagnosis was to tell me issues that he said were needed that had recently been replaced. Ie - Water-pump leaking . He said it was still leaking. Granted three weeks ago it was leaking but we got it replaced at a different place three weeks ago after being at this shop. (Not even sure why that was diagnosed as it had nothing to do with brakes? ) He then said we needed the master cylinder replaced which also got done somewhere else - again not sure what that had to do with brake issues we came back for ? What I do know is my vehicle sat there both visits all day and Nothing was done. The fact that the 2nd visit was so completely mis diagnosed was VERY troubling. Normally I would say this is a good shop but since the owner Brad isn't there much anymore it seems to have turned into a really questionable place. Trying to say 2 items had issues that were already fixed is very troubling and obviously they never even looked at my vehicle. Would I recommend them .... No way. read more

Aamco Repair On February 2, 2024, I took my 2018 Nissan Armada to Brads Auto LLC / Aamco total car repair at 316 N. Polk Street in Pineville NC 28134. I took it there because the vehicle was stalling and jerking a little bit. Prior to Planet Mistibushi had replaced spark plugs and coils. However, the problem persisted, and they suggested it may be the transmission. I spoke with Aamco and Brad the owner suggested towing it in so that he could look and properly diagnose. As stated on invoice# I136316 he charged $250.00 for towing and for diagnostic and labor he charged $316.75. Brad claimed to have put $50.30 worth of gas in the vehicle because it was towed in with low fuel. As stated on the invoice there was a problem present because the previous repair had corrected it. I picked up the vehicle and it drove fine up to February 21, 2024. On Sunday February 18,2024 the check engine light came on and I called Brad on Monday February 19,2024. Brad had my vehicle towed to his shop to further diagnose. After having the vehicle for a week and a half approx. Brad sent a work order # J137887 on March 12, 2024, for diagnosis $123.75 stating that the vehicles high pressure fuel pump as well as the fuel pump had to be replaced totaling $3538.30 with a proposed completion date of 3-14-2024. While he was telling me what the problem was, he also stated that while removing the fuel pressure pump some of the pump broke and fell into my engine. He stated that they retrieved as much as they could and would hope any remaining would not damage my engine. I asked can it all be removed, and he said no. I asked if he could perform an oil flush to see if anymore came out. He said that would not help and he hoped they got it all. On Monday March 18 at 2:04 pm I received a text stating the vehicle was ready to pick up. I picked up my vehicle (invoice I136465) and drove from Pineville to my home in Charlotte. As soon as I backed in my driveway the vehicle started sputtering and acting like it wanted to cut off. I pressed the gas a little and it caught and started right back. The very next day I notified Brad that the vehicle was doing the same thing. Which was acting like it was not getting gas and vibrating a little. Brad sent a tow truck the next day (March 20) to see what the problem was. After a few days Brad called to say it was his worse fear and that was the engine. He then proceeded to quote me a price of $10,000.00 -$12,000.00. Brad told me to ask the bank for $12,000.00 to cover all costs. I told him I would call him back with my decision. After doing further research I discovered that the metal was the cause of the engine failure. I also discovered that some metal is normal due to normal wear and tear. Brad stated that "shards" of metal had fallen into the engine. "Because the failure to look for metal in the screens and filter, or ignoring what is found, can lead to catastrophic engine failure". At this point I was mechanically exhausted and arranged for a tow truck to retrieve my vehicle. Brad never expressed that he would right the wrong of his technician Andre Lucero. His only concern was getting more money. When the tow truck driver dropped my vehicle off, he asked me what was going on with the vehicle. I told him what I was told, and he said that Brad told him it was a timing belt issue. He wondered why he did not repair it if it was the timing and I explained what the real problem was. He said no wonder he was rushing us out there. My concern is that I have financed the work that Brad "supposedly" corrected which resulted in another issue. I feel as though he should have at least either repaired the engine due to their negligence or offered a refund for the pending financing. I have contacted the finance company to alert them that the work was not done properly and resulted in more damage. This letter is to request a full refund to the finance company, relieving me of any monies owed to them. A man is only good as his word and work and at this point neither is credible. I am trying to keep a tough situation from turning worse. I have been advised to arbitrate this issue directly with the owner before moving forward. Kindly respond with your intentions.

Wouldn't take my vehicle here.Brad said he will work with us,all nice ,he will help ,gets my car ,and tells me it is the transmission and that there is two around here but he wouldn't trust them.there is only one other one around in the country and that it will cost $7800 installed ,so when I called back and said that we could get a cheaper one he became rude .Called me back and told me if I didn't get my car out of there he was going to start charging me a storage fee!Jacked up the towing fee to have it towed there as well!!!!!! Don't deal with these people! read more

ONE WORD: HORRIBLE. Business owner will screw you, he did it to me. Bought a "Certified" used transmission at this place with a 12K Mile/12 Month warranty, 11K miles/13 months later it died. Called the place and the owner (Brad) says, no warranty for you because it's one month over the warranty (13 months) even though is 1,000 miles before it expired. You would think a business like this would purchase transmissions from a reputable place, but not the case here. The honorable thing to do, in my opinion, was for the owner to go back to his vendor and pushed back about honoring the warranty. He has to have enough purchasing power to be able to press his vendor into not screwing his customer, but clearly he does not care about his customers, he did care when I paid him $2,800 for that POS transmission. You ask any other honorable car repair shop and they would tell you in cases like this they are flexible and would honor warranties when so close to expiration dates. Or at the very least, credit some $ back to his customer, after all, it was only one month pass the expiration and the miles were still covered by the warranty. I lost over $3,000 on this deal, so I warn other potential customers not to take a chance on this place, not worth it. read more

Don't take your car here. They lie and still your money. They told 5 lie in one day. They not to be trust. They will tell you a lie. Behind another lie. They need to close down. They are bad business. read more

I brought my car here after the check engine light came on. They hooked it up to the computer and told me it was the speed sensor on the transmission and they would order the part and have it fixed the next day. 5 days later the car had not been fixed. What made it worse is that everyday service manager kept telling me it would be ready tomorrow so I kept racking up fees to uber back and forth to work to the sum of $385. When I confronted the service manager about why he kept telling me that the car would be ready the next day and it wasn't, he got offensive and hung up on me when I suggested he communicate better with his customers. After the part was finally installed, the vehicle still did not work so they checked again and told me it was the Valve body that needed to be replaced and it would cost me $3100. The manager said they would not charge me for the part and labor to replace the sensor but according to my dashcam footage, there is no evidence that my vehicle was even on the lift for more than 1 hour during the entire time they had it) I declined to have them do anything else on my car and I took it to Infiniti who charged me $500 less then what Aamco wanted to charge me. When I told the manager of the price he looked surprised. I will never take my vehicle there again, nor would I recommend anyone else to do so if you value your car, time, and respect. read more

Mike was Amazing through the process of helping getting my transmission fixed! After a long 7 week process excited to finally get my car back. It was supposed to be back Friday and after leaving messages or being told I will get a call back finally Wednesday morning I get through and am told the speed sensor is bad they should have it done by end of day. Ok, understand. Get a call at 3:30 my car is done! Yay. So we pack the kids to go pick it up. Pay and get in the car it doesn't start. They say it needs a battery, pay for a battery. Leave and call realizing my AC, radio, cigarette charger and back up camera don't work. They say drive it and after 30mins it will reset. It did not. I dropped it back off that same night. I had to call and follow up, they said the fuse blew for the radio and cigarette outlet. They fixed it but say my AC clutch is rusted and must have shorted the Tipm. Offered a discounted rate of $1673.70 to fix. But everything worked perfect before going in. I had another mechanic look and video the clutch it barely has any rust as the car is only 5 yrs old. The compressor is seized up now which it wasn't. They state its nothing they did. While everything started amazing well i regret my decision as now I'm left with a huge bill and no ac with 3 little kids and up to me to figure it all out. Oh and my driver door has black grease all over the tan door. read more

I wouldn't take my car here and I suggest that no-one bring their cars here. I dropped my car off fit transmission repair. They never called me to tell me it was ready. 2 weeks later they finally called me, I get there my car won't even start or drive out the parking lot. Then come to find out they took my Cadillac converter off my vehicle and sold it. I called the police and made a report. They wouldn't refund my money either or give me back my car part that they sold... don't go here!!! read more

I originally brought my car in to have a transmission cooler line replaced. Five days later I get a call that they could not locate the parts. I informed them to put back the old parts or replace the 2-in rubber hose that was connected to the lower cooler line which they did but they charged me $672.00 parts and labor that sounds excessive and abusive. Most of that was $405 Labor and $26 for parts, I think this matter should be heard at small claims court. read more

Caution, materials, and service are sub-par at best. They replaced my transmission in the fall of 2020 on my 2002 Suburban 2500 HD. It lasted just over a year and blow. I was forced to have the vehicle towed 140 miles to get them to fix it. Then it took over 4 weeks to get it repaired (after the 2 weeks it took me to get a tow that far). Originally they told me two weeks when it was not done (and was causing a large hardship for me) I got mad and then their response was they just would not fix it. Eventually, they did (kind of), I brought it home and drove it a little (maybe 100 or 200 miles) when a large puddle was under my truck. I brought it back again. I was told that the brand new gasket between the new transmission and the new transfer case (different story but I still think they sold me that unnecessarily) was leaking. They replaced the gasket again. I got the truck back and it was driven maybe 50 miles (all city and highway) and all of a sudden the speedometer stopped working, the ABS and brake light came on and the transmission became very rough. I returned it to them again, where I was told that the wiring (specifically the transmission wiring) had gotten wrapped around the drive shaft. They said that it was not their fault and that a stick over by the outside frame of the truck caused it (almost 2 feet from the driveshaft and damaged wires) and not the fact that there was not a single tie or wire holder holding up the transmission wiring and that it was hanging down right next to the drive shaft. Yes, my truck is a truck I use it to carry stuff, I use it to go to my mountain cabin that is down a dirt road. But I never overload it according to the manufacturer's specs, I don't take it anywhere the off-road package that the manufacturer put on the truck should not easily handle. And the day the wiring got ripped out the truck was used 80% highway and 20% neighborhood roads prior to it stopping working. The stick which was nowhere near the wires likely came later when I was going down the road to my cabin more than 2 hours and 80 miles after the electrical issues accord. They are refusing to fix the wiring, and what a 1000 dollars to do it. After 4 trips to them for the transmission and problems related to poor product and poor installation. I will not be returning Now I have to take my truck to someone else and pay who knows what to have them find and repair the damage clearly caused by a second incompetent service where they simply did not tie up the wire harness properly. There is more like the exhaust not properly reconnected after the engine mount was replaced, but the transmission issues and service is inexcusable for a place that is supposed to specialize in transmissions. Go to them at your own risk. I am out thousands and more than 2 months of the use of my truck. read more

Staff and owner are friendly and helpful, before even trying to fix my car(aka charge me) they suggested I get a couple recall issues taken care of at the dealership(only the dealership can fix these issues) before diving deeper into my transmission issue. They were honest, I will certainly be back to them for further work! read more

I had to continue to take my car there 6 times and it still has the very same problem. I paid for a complete transmission overhaul, along with other other items. I was without my car in total for a month and a 1/2. I spent over $6000, and it still has the very same problem that it did when I took it in for the 1st time. Don't take your lawn mower there. read more

Horrible experience with this location! Had a transmission rebuilt for three thousand dollars! Upon pickup, the vehicle was very loud. Someone cut off and stole the catalytic converter! The owner contacted a company to replace it. Taking another three days without a vehicle and my time. Picked up the car and AGAIN still loud. Process repeats lost my time and another three days without a vehicle. Picked up the vehicle and AGAIN same thing! Repeat the process, NO I'm not exaggerating THREE times to get it right. After that, conveniently the transmission goes out one month after the three year warranty! They tell me it's a part on the transmission costing $400. They do the repair and upon pickup, 1/2 mile into driving the problem still exists. They then say it's something different costing around $200. They do that repair and we tell the manager to test drive it not the mechanic to verify. He told us the problem is still there and we need a NEW transmission. We immediately get on the phone with headquarters to tell them this entire story and our $600 was refunded. We had to buy a new vehicle. You judge if the entire transaction seems like their mechanics are either incompetent or scammers! read more

These guys are awesome....they're not just looking for your money today. They are looking for your long term business. I would not go anywhere else.....Brad took the time to explain the problem to me and fixed my car! I am so thankful read more

Brad and his staff were amazing. He actually saved me $3500. In a day where he could have walked away w the money, after evaluating the value of my car vs the cost to fix it, he guided me to make the right decision. They were pleasant and wonderful while I was under duress. I'd go back to Brad and his staff any day. read more

I bought an alignment for 2 of my vehicles. After buying the Groupon he gave me the run around about being too busy for 4 months and then when he finally makes the appointment we wait 2 hours to find put he couldn't align my tires. I definitely would not trust them with a transmission. They are incapable of doing an alignment that any other chain could do. Seems like they were understaffed and under managed. The owner was nice enough I guess. read more

Went for a basic oil change and was out within half an hour! The service was very friendly, I plan on going back.

I took my car in when the check engine light turned on . . . They "fixed" it for $1,500 dollars. I then proceeded to have to go in an additional two times within a 1 month window when the light turned on again - they did cover it through their warranty but it still was ridiculous to have to go in 3 times (I also had to rent a car a couple of times so that added to the cost). My light turned on yet again a couple of months after the initial visit yesterday and at this point I took it to the dealership since it was Saturday morning and Aamco was closed - they told me it was $2,100 to replace the transmission AND they would lend me a car while fixing it - this shouldve been done in the first place! Having to pay $3,600 plus rental car fees instead of $2,100 is just the icing on the cake of this completely craptastic experience. read more

I live in Virginia but my car was in Charlotte and I had to have my car towed here. First of all I have to sing this place some serious praises, they are incredible here... The transmission went out in my secondary car which is a 2013 Nissan Altima (Never buy a Nissan!) I was quoted almost $1,500 dollars more at the local Nissan dealership down the street and they made it seem as if it was a headache to repair their own product, smh. Needless to say I called Aamco, reached a guy named Jonathan Morris and I couldn't be happier that I did. His professionalism and personable attitude sealed the deal for me! Jonathan was very informative, gave me options and made sure that I felt completely comfortable with the decision to replace my transmission. He explained in great detail the warranty as well as the time frame it would take to complete the job. Jonathan communicated with me throughout the process and my vehicle was done on time, exactly as promised. Honestly I assumed that he was just having a good day but once I went to this location to pick up my vehicle and meet him in person, I met the owner Brad and his attitude was exactly the same as his employee Jonathan's. Clearly this Aamco has got this right!!! The vibe in this place, from these two guys will make the painful choice of having to replace your transmission into oddly a pleasurable one! Might I add that I completed this transaction 100% over the phone until I actually went to pick the vehicle up and it was seamless. Thanks Jonathan Morris & Brad, you all have a customer for life!!!! read more

I started going here when I purchased a Living Social for some oil changes, but will now be a lifetime customer. Their customer service is amazing and they are incredibly reasonable on price. Great place. read more

Honestly, I can't help but like this place. The two guys I've dealt with here (sorry I'm horrible with names) have always been honest with me. They're polite and professional. They take you to your car and SHOW you what the problem is in layman terms. It's not "around the way" cheap but they didn't charge me what Lexus would so I won't complain. Also, they fix things right, and it's usually the first time. I actually came to them after Lexus sent me away without correcting a rotor issue twice. Only once have I had an issue here (hence that nonexistent 5th star) and it had more to do with the dishonesty of their parts dealer than the shop. I wish they'd work with someone else. read more

This place is a ripoff! PLEASE STAY AWAY!! After buying a Groupon for brake service, I was given the runaround about what it did & did not cover. Bottom line - expect to shell out a lot more money AFTER you get the Groupon. Its a bait & switch scam that I should've seen coming! Suddenly there were quite a few things wrong with my truck that they "suggested" I let them fix but I declined! Again, please don't let these people near your vehicle! They'll make sure you need more repairs than you did when you arrived! They should be forced out of business for their shady practices!! read more

Don't go to AAMCO in Pineville, NC unless you're looking to get ripped off. These prior reviews must be when there was different management. I was scammed out of $543 and there was no repair done on my car. They couldn't diagnose the problem with my car so they made up different issues to continue charging me the inspection fees. Either they have untrained mechanics or they are just crooks. read more

Stay away from these guys. I have nothing good to say about them. Spent about $3200 on transmissions repairs with them. I was told to expect at least 100,000 miles on the repaired transmission. They did give me free oil changes as part of the deal. Had them change the oil once. When I was due for my next change I was out of town and had it changed else where. The shop that changed it for me said I was 3 quarts low. They filled it for me and I had to take it to another shop to have it changed. After 27,000 miles my transmission started acting up. They wanted another $450 to see what is wrong now. They have lost my business! I hope you don't get scammed by them. These kind of places need to go out of business. read more

My husband purchased a Groupon for Brakes. He took it there to get new rear brakes. The Groupon was not accepted for the type of breaks I needed (fine) but for some reason my front tires were taken off and in doing so the studs on my tires were broken off. I believe 3 out of 6? The issue was blamed on whoever last put on the tire not using the correct tools when remounting. I understand that but my car came in with my wheel in tact and left wobbling on 3 studs. When I called and spoke with the manager (who was very polite and professional btw) I was quoted $125 plus tax to fix. Not even a discount due to it being half their fault (in my opinion). The parts cost $15. So $110 for labor. So in addition to not getting rear brakes replaced, my front tire was taken off for some reason, my studs were broken, my husband has to try and fix it because we refuse to give $125 to the person responsible, my car is no longer driveable and in worse condition than when we brought it in. All I expect is for people to do the right thing and I am left picking up the pieces. Very disappointed. read more
