This review is overdue. I had the transmission light come on during a drive back from LA. It had been the hottest day of the year and the 4 hour drive during rush hour didn't help. I was staying in a hotel in Temecula until I could get the car looked at all I wanted was a diagnostic and would decide what to do once I knew what the situation was. I called a mechanic shop that specializes in transmissions (Not AAMCO) on Jefferson before they opened and they did not call back for several hours. Then they told me to bring the car in and then they called to tell me they could not see it after all, citing the fact that they were awaiting a transmission that just came in and that their customer had been waiting for a while and had a rental and that they could not see me until later that day and then they basically told me they couldn't see me at all when I called back because they never called as promised. I called several other mechanics as well. By this time I had been in a hotel for several days and no mechanic could or would diagnose my car. I reached out to AAMCO and spoke with Steve and I'll admit, I was hesitant at first because they had a lower rating than some other businesses, but Steve was very polite and professional on the phone and could see my car that day and they offered to check out the car for free as part of their services. I said yes and got the car over to them. In the interim, I had several other mechanics call back and tell me that they could not see my car (I had been awaiting their callbacks). Eventually Steve called me back with the most unexpected news: "We checked out your car, we looked for codes, we drove it, we took a sample of the transmission fluid and other than being a little dark. There is nothing wrong with your car." I could NOT believe it. This was the FIRST time EVER, that I drove a car into a mechanic with an issue and they didn't mysteriously find something wrong with it that was going to cost me a lot of money. Steve was really professional and I highly recommend this shop due to their integrity to anyone. It was an amazing experience. This occurred on the 28th and now it's the 4th and I've put a lot of miles road tripping in the car and still no issue, so the diagnostic was accurate and they were completely honest. Cannot recommend enough based on my experience. So grateful to have run into Steve's AAMCO. read more

We dropped our truck off at AAMCO to be serviced first week of December. We were not given an estimate on time as to how long it would take to be fixed. We called weekly for updates. We were told on multiple occasions that "Steve" was the only person who could help us. "Steve" went on multiple weeklong vacations without any sort of coverage. We were finally able to pick up our truck today only to find it covered in rat feces and mold. Rats have chewed through seatbelts and seats as well as multiple different power cables. We were offered a $250 discount due to the delay however, no compensation was offered for the state of our truck. read more

This is my experience with AAMCO Temecula (Feb 2025) after a transmission repair, shared so others can make informed decisions. My vehicle was inoperable and had to be towed in. Steve, the manager, said the passenger‑side CV joint/hub assembly was broken and needed to be repaired before he could diagnose the transmission. He also suggested that fixing it might resolve the issue entirely. At the same time, he explained that if the CV repair didn't fix the problem, the assembly would need to be taken apart again, resulting in additional labor charges. Relying on his explanation, I authorized a transmission rebuild. When I asked for an estimate, I received a verbal quote of $6,000. I did not receive a detailed written estimate before the work was completed. The final invoice was $5,998. After reviewing it, I had concerns: the labor and time charges appeared structured to match the quote rather than reflect a clear breakdown of actual work performed. When I picked up the vehicle, Steve made a comment that immediately raised a red flag: "the transmission really didn't need much." That statement did not align with the idea of a full rebuild costing nearly $6,000. But the work was done, the bill was paid, and I took the car home. Soon after, issues surfaced. The kickdown function didn't operate properly, and the transmission engaged harshly when shifted into reverse. I returned on March 3, 2025, for warranty service. I was told to leave the vehicle with no appointment, no timeline, and no estimate of when it would be inspected. The car remained there for about a week, and when I picked it up, neither issue had been fixed. Later, at another shop for unrelated work, I was told that bolts on one of the front axles--installed by AAMCO--were rubbing and required spacers. This was not a minor oversight. It was an installation error that could have caused further damage. I paid $92 to have it corrected. In May 2025, I noticed fresh transmission fluid under the vehicle. The leak appeared to be coming from the top of the transaxle case. At that point, Steve's earlier comment that the transmission "didn't need much" became more concerning. I contacted him and asked directly whether the transmission had actually been rebuilt. He did not give a clear answer. Because of work obligations, I was out of the area for several months. Still, on February 25, 2026--one day before the warranty expired--I contacted AAMCO to report that the issues remained and to request warranty service. There is no email contact for this location, so everything had to be done by phone and no way to create a paper trail. Steve said he would honor the warranty beyond the expiration date, but again refused to provide a firm appointment or timeline. I was told to bring the vehicle in and leave it indefinitely. When I expressed concern, he said, "You are not going to have this your way," and explained that inoperative vehicles were prioritized over warranty work. On March 17, 2026, I sought a second opinion. I arrived at another transmission shop at 8:30 a.m. and was seen immediately. Within about 15 minutes, the technician identified the issues that had gone unresolved for nearly a year. The transmission was overfilled with fluid, causing the leak from the vent. Additionally, the transmission pan bolts were loose. The technician corrected both issues on the spot. The contrast was impossible to ignore. One shop required open‑ended drop‑offs and failed to resolve basic problems. Another diagnosed and corrected them in minutes. Bottom Line: I would not recommend AAMCO Temecula: * The estimate lacked a clear, detailed breakdown * The invoice appeared structured to match the quote * Post‑repair issues were not resolved despite two opportunities * Work performed required correction at two other shops * The warranty process lacked structure, scheduling, and accountability I'm posting this so others understand what they may encounter. Automotive repairs are expensive, and customers deserve transparency, proper workmanship, and a reasonable warranty process. For now, I'll take my chances somewhere else and would advise others to do the same. read more

Needed a new transmission and Steve and his team far exceeded my expectations. I was well taken care of and I trust this business to handle all my vehicle needs. They beat dealership price and aimed to get me a better part than what the dealership could provide. Integrity and great customer service ! read more

Had my JEEP worked on and as soon as I drove 6 miles the transmission went out again. These guys worked on it for two weeks. After a few months it gave out again. Was tired of going back, so I ended up buying a new truck. read more

This place is by far exceeds our expectations! We would like to give it 10 stars if we could. We have been working with this place probably for a year now because we had bought a jeep that needed transmission replaced. They replaced it and if something was not right on it then they continued to honor their work and warranty and made it right. We always take our vehicles here and also we recommend them highly! Let me tell you this place is top notch customer service. We were getting ready for our trip and was going to hook up our jeep to our RV for a camping trip... something slipped on the transmission gear or something and they came over to OUR HOUSE and took it to their shop and fixed it in record time so we were able to make our camping trip. That was around thanksgiving 2023 (this year as I type it). Also my daughter who is a new driver got into an accident, thank God she is okay just shaken, and something was off on the transmission or something, well we took it to them because we trust them and we were prepared thinking that our old Honda needed a transmission because of the accident but THEY FIXED IT and it did not need a new transmission!!! They were honest and also it doesn't matter who you speak to in the office/shop because they will take care of you! You all have to come here for any of your transmission service. I do not just write any review, they are the best! read more

I have known Steve at AAMCO for many years and he has always responded to the needs as they into focus I have a Black Suburban and a Hyundai that he has serviced and replaced transmission when needed and has performed with honesty integrity and urgency when needed I will refer them to anyone who needs help with their cars problem read more

Such a refreshing change to deal with an honest company. After running into some transmission issues, I took my RV into AAMCO in Temecula to get a second opinion. The first shop told me that I needed a full replacement which would cost me around $6k and take up to 3 weeks. This based on 'crispy' transmission fluid. I called around and Kerry at AAMCO was able to get me in within the hour. After about 4 hours of driving, and testing it, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. No charge, no upsell, no BS. Oh, and the transmission that the other shop told me was crispy... ...Not a single thing wrong with it. Basically as good as new. It was so nice to go to a professional shop that didn't try to take me for my money. read more

My poor Scion XB has been thru it. Aamco was literally the only shop I could find who did the research and called me back with an exact estimate for a new clutch. Any other shop would only talk me after I brought the scion to them. With an exact estimate I was able to have the amount ready no surprises!! I also told them that I wouldn't be able to get her there, they offered to have her towed in!! 2 days..2 days and she had a new clutch in! It took me longer to find a way to get back over to to their shop to pick her up, than it did to get the clutch in! Even after I picked her up and heard a terrible noise under the hood like something fell out from the bottom of my car, they offered to inspect her and found a broken strut bolt. She's driving beautifully now and I want to thank Aamco for their hard work and sincere care for my car! read more

I bought a used car and shortly afterwards noticed it was having transmission issues. I found the entire AAMCO Temecula team to be super friendly, and two of them provided me with outstanding customer service. They did solid work for a great price and I'm very happy to finally have a good auto mechanic! read more

Horrible customer service. My mother paid a LOT of money to have her transmission replaced and we live 2 hrs away. We picked her car up and the battery cover was sitting on her seat, then on the fwy we heard 2 popping noises and the car felt super sluggish. Didn't think much but the next day as we we trying to drive up a hill the car had no acceleration. We had to turn around and go home. Lucky we made it. When we called the shop to let them know we were told to bring the car in. No assistance. So we had to use our triple aaa to tow it over over 60 miles back. We were then told that a lot of things were missed and not out back together so they would fix it and the technician was getting fired. They offered NO compensation for their mistake. My mom had to tow the car herself and now she cannot use that many miles now for her tow because of them and they do not care. Do not use this company. We will never go here again. They are lucky we didn't get in an accident going 20 mph up a hill that everyone was going 70 because the car couldn't make it. TERRIBLE!!! read more

Worst experience. Do NOT go here. I paid a LOT of money to have my transmission replaced and we live 2 hrs away. When I picked up my car the battery cover was sitting on the seat, then on the fwy we heard 2 popping noises and the car felt super sluggish. Didn't think much but the next day as I was trying to drive up a hill the car had no acceleration and wouldn't go faster than 20 mph. We had to turn around and go home. Lucky we made it. When we called the shop to let them know we were told to bring the car in. No assistance. So we had to use our triple aaa to tow it over over 60 miles back. Which is something they should've covered. When they called me after looking at the car I was told that a lot of things were missed and not put back together so they would fix it and the technician was getting fired. They offered NO compensation for their mistake. I had to tow the car 60 miles on MY membership and now cannot use that many miles now in the future because of them and they do not care. Do not use this company. We will never go here again. They are lucky we didn't get in an accident going 20 mph up a hill that everyone was going 70 because the car couldn't make it. They need to rectify their mistakes and compensate me for the tow at least. read more

I was having serious acceleration issues with my Nissan Versa, which 2 other auto repair shops were unable to diagnose. I took the car to Aamco in Temecula, and not only were they able to correctly diagnose the problem, but were able to quickly make the repair and get me back on the road. This is definitely the "go to" shop for your vehicle repairs! Professional, skilled, courteous and friendly! 5 stars read more

Stay away from this place, The manager Steve is not helpful at all, but the other guy in the office was trying to explain what is going on with the car. I took my vehicle in to get my transmission checked, I was told it would take about 3-4 hours and I would get a call, at no point was I told they would need it all day into the next, so 6 hours later I called to get an update, and was told by Steve he doesn't know and needs more time, I told him I need the car so I can drive home tonight, with a rude attitude he told me to come pick up my car then. Once I got there to pick it up, he was just the biggest ass to me, like I was an inconvenience to him. So if you do happen to go there, hopefully you don't have to work with Steve , he has very bad customer service. read more

Back story - I am a female that needs a maint. service on my 2013 VW Jetta. I stopped by AAMCO on Commerce Center, Temecula this morning to obtain a quote to service the transmission in my 2013 VW Jetta. Spoke with Steve Bucher at the business. Asked Steve for a quote to complete service on the Jetta. Steve said the Jetta has 3 transmissions, AAMCO services/repairs two of the three transmissions. I asked Steve which transmission does AAMCO not service? This what Steve told me - "it would not make any difference if he told me which transmission AAMCO does not service because I would not understand what he is saying if he told me." Steve's comments were starling and flat-out rude. I have never met Steve before today, thank goodness, but apparently, he knows me well enough to conclude that I cannot comprehend which transmission AAMCO does not service. Or it is possible Steve is unable to identify the transmission? Steve should not interact with potential customers, and it probable that he should not interact with potential female customers, either. Poor customer service has caused the closure of businesses much better than AAMCO. Steve stop forgetting "Do not judge a book by its cover". You do not know me or my background. Lastly, read your manual, 2013 VW Jetta includes 4 transmissions, not three. VW of Murrieta confirmed my information about the transmissions. Steve's behavior has been reported to AAMCO Corp. read more

I drive a Honda Odyssey and I was out of town when my engine light came on and all the shops were booked or charged upfront to look at it. A friend suggested I try AAMCO, so I called them and they said although they were busy they could get to it if I dropped it off for a few hours. They got back to me with bad news I needed a new air sensor and circuit diagnostics. They were very thorough and patient with me explaining everything in detail. I asked for an estimate and he said he'd get back to me shortly. About two hours later I received the estimate, and it was *so much* better than expected. When does that ever happen? So I told asked them to do the work. I'd need a car in the meantime, and very conveniently Enterprise is down the street and gives AAMCO customers a shop rate (with proof of service). It took a little longer than I'd hoped to get my car back, but this was to be expected because they were doing a lot of work and were completely slammed. The day I was to pick up my car AAMCO called and told me the engine light came back on while they were test-driving it, and I'd need a new solenoid valve. I had to spend more, but I was happy they caught the problem and fixed it before I picked up the car only to have the engine light come back on. Saved me a lot of hassle. They gave me a great price on the total cost of everything since I was having so much work done (including front brakes w/ rotors) and being patient. I got the impression they deal with a lot of disgruntled people who have old cars and tight budgets. Car was ready for pickup the next morning, and it drove great! No problems until a few weeks later when the right rear brake gave out. Brought the car back to AAMCO and they said they had checked the rear brakes when they did the front and it had looked fine, but perhaps some of the calipers were sticking on the one side wearing down the pad. I hadn't had any of the brakes done in years, so it was time anyway. So they did the rear brakes and in this case my car was ready same day. Good price (not great this time, but fair) and my car is driving great now, no issues to report. I found the entire AAMCO Temecula team to be super friendly and the three of them provided me with outstanding customer service. They did solid work for a good price and I'm a very happy to have a good auto mechanic with a car rental place down the street! read more

6/3/21 I brought my 2012 Nissan Quest S with 134,457 miles to AAMCO Transmissions Total Care Care in Temecula CA I reported the following information: At 2500 RPM's the vehicle would hesitate moving into the next gear. It was happening for a couple months and occasionally the ABS and Traction lights would come on. 8/3/21 After 2 MONTHS, $4,119.14, and a missed family road trip to Sacramento, and a missed camping trip to Idyllwild, We finally got our van back. As I got home I just wanted to take a peak under the hood, why not right? I just spent $4,000+, missed out on 2 family trips. The Van drove great, but I could hear air rushing underneath the hood. I popped the hood and see that the air inlet was missing. It's a BIG piece! I got it back, but then it was missing the bolts. 8/6/21 my family flew to the east coast. we got back on 8/13/21. We quickly realized we were getting a similar response to what we originally reported and paid to have fixed. 8/21/21 we dropped the vehicle off again and to have the problem we paid to have fixed, fixed again. I can't tell you how long it took maybe 5 days. We got the vehicle back again it worked fine. 12 weeks without our van. Those in question can ask for the list of the items reported to be replaced. 5/31/22 the Van dies while driving my kids home from school. I had it towed to AAMCO 6/1/22 They let me know that alternator, which was supposedly replaced because of my "transmission problem" less than a year ago, was bad. I was working out of town that weekend and had to borrow a vehicle from a family member for a work trip. They're not open on weekends so I was able to pick up my van that Monday June 6. 6/26/22 I felt my van pulling/jerking when pushing on or letting of the accelerator. I had my tires and brakes replaced at Firestone. They let me know that the recently replaced motor mount (by AAMCO) was bad. 7/5/22 I report the problem to AAMCO, They let me know there are 39 vehicles ahead of me. read more

What a great experience. Wonderful customer service all around. They were very good at communicating which is rare. Highly recommended!!

I am a mom of 3, who drives a minivan. I obviously don't know about cars. I called to ask a few questions, and the man I spoke to was SO RUDE. I literally had to say something to home about how he spoke to people. This is your job. You should be patient enough to be able to explain the difference between reading diagnostic codes (free), and explaining what those codes mean (could cost a fee). I wouldn't take my car here, just for the sheer fact, that I'm not giving someone so rude, my business. read more

Customer service was beyond expectation. They demonstrated a level of honesty and integrity I haven't seen in a business in a long time. Thank you Aamco so much for going above and beyond. read more

The transmission went completely out on my Nissan Frontier. 180K miles on it and it's automatic. I was at a stoplight and it would not go into drive, only reverse. I had a couple of nice guys push me out of the intersection. I managed to get it in drive for a few miles the it fell back out of drive. Drive shift cable was totally loose and loud transmission whirring, then a loud bang and smoke came out from underneath my truck. I called AAMCO after it was recommended to me by the manager of Autozone. They sent out a tow and inspected it for free. Sure enough it needed a complete transmission rebuild and overhaul. Now my truck runs better than it ever has. It was worth every penny and it is not cheap. You get what you pay for. Steve, the manager, was great. Super nice guy, 100% honest and up front about all the costs and the length of time they would need to keep it. He showed me the actual problem with my transmission when it was taken apart. They have a 35 year certified transmission expert on their team who explained everything in great detail. I've been working on cars for 30 years and know them in and out. This is the best place to go for transmissions. My truck runs better now than it has in 20 years. Thank you Steve and AAMCO! You are awesome! read more

had my 2013 Ram 1500 with a whining noise after inspection they said it needed a rear bearing overhaul kit. After the work was completed I drove the truck and the noise was still there took it back they said that they had to do some adjustments. Pick the truck back up the noise was still there took it straight back to AAMCO after another inspection They said that they would have to get another bearing overhaul ki 1 week to order. So They install the new bearing kit and the noise is still there. They've had three opportunities to fix it and failed I'm sure the mechanic has no clue how to rebuild a rear differential. $1338.00 (BAR complaint under way) read more

I took my Car to Sears for an estimate on my Brakes. Upon inspection they told me that I need to replace my Struts and Front and Back Brakes. My Gut told me they were trying to pull one over on me, so I went to AAMCO Temecula and met Steve and Brad. I didn't tell them I went to SEARS and they did an inspection on the Car. They came back with "You only need your Rotors Cut on the Front Tires" No Brakes, No Struts Needed. Wow, What a Relief. I saved over 800 dollars going to this AAMCO. I want to thank Steve and Brad for there Honest opinion. It's good to see that there is people like this in the Auto Mechanics World. Thanks Again, Max read more

This place is awesome! Went in thinking our transmission was taking a dump and thinking we were gonna be out of tons of money! I get a call after they figured it out and turns out some rat chewed out our wiring what was then a very simple fix! I'm so happy they were super honest with us and didn't take us for a ride :-) Which they could of easily done! I will from now on bring my car here for any services needed! They also seem to have a sense of humor with trying to charge me "a crappy shirt fee" haha! Love it! Thank you AAMCO! read more

Not happy with them at all. Terrible communication. Dropped my car off for them to look at and asked them to call me if they needed it overnight. They never called.

I called on Saturday and I was told they couldn't take my vehicle but was given an appointment for Monday at 8 AM so instead of being a workday I made it a day to get my car serviced and was there at 8 o'clock and was then told oh we're too busy we can't take your car in today and I explain to him that my appointment was made on Saturday and I was then told that The gentleman that made the appointment works part time and there was nothing they could do it's a less I left the car overnight for the next day Tuesday well I explain to them about my work situation and asked if I could at least get a ride home and I'll leave the car with them that was a refusal and I felt that some type of concession should be given if their employee made me an appointment for Monday there was no sign of understanding or anything at this point I'm glad I didn't leave my car there very unprofessional and uncaring read more

When my automatic transmission stopped working on the freeway I was a long way from home and that is never good, but it worked out well thanks to AAMCO. I got towed to AAMCO in Temecula after searching on my phone, remembering the commercials from when I was a kid. I am glad I did even though I had reservations about going to a chain repair agency but they were unwarranted. As a client services professional, I don't expect anything special from an automotive repair agency. Boy was I wrong about this place. David - the service manager - greatly exceeded my expectations. He was friendly and made me feel like his only customer in spite of being busy. David explained the process and the estimate making me feel comfortable about the work before it was started even though I was hesitant to pay $890.00 to take out my Transmission first. The transmission builder in his shop is very experienced and installed upgraded parts, not just original. I looked at all the parts after the transmission was disassembled and could see the various problems and why it ending being a little pricey. I could see it was a lot of work and being a woman I had no idea what a transmission really did or how many parts there were. It all made a lot more sense after seeing it for myself. I expect the transmission AAMCO repaired for me will last longer than the original - it lasted 127,000 miles before failure. I feel good that the warranty is covered by other AAMCOs not just this one, not that I expect any problems but just in case. I strongly recommend David and his technicians for great service and reliable transmission repairs using the best parts read more

My point of contact there was Steve. Nice enough guy, but overall the place has bad customer service. I couldn't find anywhere to park. Got honked at by an employee because I was in his way. I was advised to leave my vehicle just for a test drive. I explained it was a 40 min round trip to get there. They said they were very busy but I could see there were empty bays in the garage. I told him (Steve) that I will be walking out and he seemed okay with that. Very bad first impression. I have a feeling most of their business comes from first time customers that heard a radio or saw a tv commercial- it's the reason I went there. I won't be going back. I'm sorry. Update Nov 19 2013: A friend of mine referred me to Dyno-Trans in Temecula. They were fantastic! Highly recommend them instead. -Kevin read more

What an ordeal! Spent $2800 on a rebuilt transmission for my chevy suburban. Broke down on the freeway close by and was towed to the closest location. My car is running well, I've only had her back a few days, but so far so good! My low stars are for the customer service. These guys are rude and pushy and I truly feel like I was over charged. When I had questions about the labor charges they were very rude and short and basically told me "it is what it is and if I don't like it, I can go elsewhere" after I pay them $750 for their time to give me a $2800 quote, of course. I was told my vehicle required 18-22 hours of labor but from start to finish, there was only 1 day. That's only 8 hours! Being worried about retaliation as they still had my vehicle, I said nothing. Also, they offer no interest financing through synchrony financial but only for 6 months. I was told this after my card was charged, of course. I kick myself for not asking the terms sooner. Had I not been 100 miles from home, I DEFINITELY would have gone elsewhere. One positive, 18 month or 18000 warranty. Let's hope I don't need to use it! Good luck doing business with this, they are challenging. read more

I, personally, had a great experience here! I was very stressed and nervous about my car. David put my mind at ease and was very friendly.

I just drove my car home and it is running great. Thank you David! Thank you mechanics! read more

I needed an estimate to give to an insurance company for a complete rebuild. Over the phone I was told this wouldn't be a problem but once I got there, the front desk guy absolutely would not give me any prices much less anything on paper to give to my insurance. I told him I just need an estimate for a complete rebuild for a 4l60e to give to insurance and he refused to talk about anything but getting the car up there. Walked out with anything and went to another transmission shop where I was in and out in 5 min. read more

Refuses to provide the free diagnostic that AAMCO is supposed to provide because "there's no money in it for me".

Went to the location my 2011 Buick Regal had a transmission service light on they gave me the free diagnostic service didn't charge me a penny- they did tell me I needed the tranny replaced- They did help me so I'm happy with that- read more

Steve, I want you to know that I am very pleased with the quality of service your provide to me the past 2 years on my 3 vehicles. I sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. I have recommended your company to others because of our satisfaction with your service. I look forward to doing business with you for years to come. read more

We recently took our vehicle here to take advantage of their free diagnostic service. We told them what we thought was the issue, and what the symptoms were, and they got back to us about 4-6 hours later. To repair, they quoted us one price which we could not afford - then they slashed it in half. Nice gesture, but then they refused to tell us what their labor rate was so we could compare with other shops. We called another shop, found a better price, and went to that shop. When we went to the second shop, they did their own diagnostic and found that AAMCO had been wrong in their diagnostic - completely. Our car was fixed in under two hours and has been running great since. If we would have done the repairs suggested by AAMCO we would have been out over $500 because it would have not fixed the issue. I would not suggest having any work done by this shop without a second opinion for both price and issue. read more

Called today to see how much they charge for an inspection. Dave, said it was free. Okay I tried to explain what was happening with my 2008 Buick Lucerne and he rudely interupted me and said if I would be quiet he would let me know what they can do. High pressure sales pitch. He says bring it in at 3 pm and they can look at it. Well then my son tells me that they want to keep it over night. I tell him no way. So I call Dave back and he is even ruder when I try to ask him why overnight. I told him that I didnt want to do that. Tried to ask him other questions but he was talking over me not listening to what I was trying to say. He has a problem dealing with women and the general public by other review that I see. I ask him if I brought it in the morning first thing could he have it done by afternoon approx 4 pm. He said no I dont operate like that and got pissed at me. Started yelling at me so I hung up. Called another Aamco dealer in Hemet and they said bring it in tomorrow morning and they would have an answer for me in 30 mins. Called Dave back to cancel appt and he became beligerant and said I cussed at him but I didnt I just told him he was very rude and maybe should think about retiring. I ask for the owner and he said he wasnt there. They say they are recording your calls at the beginning so hopefully Steve listens to this jerk Daves response and how he treats customers. I wouldnt recommend this shop to anyone. BUYER BEWARE!!! READ REVIEWS AND TALK TO FRIENDS WHICH I HAVE DONE AND ALL SAY THE SAME...MONEY MONEY MONEY IS ON THERE MIND AND TREAT CUSTOMERS RUDELY read more

I should have written a review a long time ago! I have been using AAMCO for years. Steve has always been professional and honest and given reasonable prices. As a single woman I appreciate not getting ripped off! There have been times while working on my truck he has had other things fixed at no charge as some of the others have mentioned in their reviews. The customer service is GREAT!! I'm getting ready to pay Steve a visit for yet another problem that just popped up and I can go with confidence he will take good care of of me. read more
