I've brought multiple cars here (Honda Coupe and SUV) for the last 12 years. The duration of these cars' life would not have been possible without the expertise, high touch service, and overall quality of care provided by AAMCO. They are always transparent in terms of the repairs needed and always follow up in a timely manner with anything that needs my approval before proceeding. I always know my car is in good hands when I bring it to AAMCO. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I chose this shop for my 2010 Mini because it had excellent Google reviews and I also had a discount coupon. During the Virginia state inspection, my car failed because the left front side marker light was not working. After the inspection, I checked the light myself and found that it would turn on when I pressed on it. When I drove to the shop, it had been working, so I suspected it might have had an intermittent connection rather than a burned-out bulb. I asked the technician if he could recheck the light since it was working again. He declined. I asked a second time, and although my voice was probably a little louder because I was frustrated, I never intended to be disrespectful. At that point, the technician said he would call the police.!!! That left me feeling very uncomfortable and surprised. The technician spoke with the state police through an earpiece, so I could not hear the conversation, so I asked him to call again with speakerphone so that everyone could hear the same information. The officer explained that the side marker light must be functioning to pass the inspection. I understood and accepted that requirement. However, I still did not understand why the light could not simply be rechecked once it was working again. After leaving, I visited my regular mechanic (who does not perform state inspections). He checked the light and told me it was functioning properly at that time and that he would replace it if it went wrong. I then returned to the inspection station, but I was told that a same-day reinspection was not possible. Later, I googled Virginia's inspection procedures and found information saying that "You can get your car inspected again on the same day in Virginia if you fix the problem right away, and returning to the same inspection station may allow a reinspection of only the failed item for a minimal fee or no additional charge. Based on that information, I was confused about why a reinspection was not available in my situation. My concern is not that the vehicle failed the inspection. If the light was not working during the inspection, then failing the vehicle was appropriate. However, I was disappointed with how the situation was handled, and I left feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously. Because of this experience, I will choose a different inspection station in the future. I hope this feedback is helpful for anyone deciding where to have their vehicle inspected. P.S. Based on my experience, I found the Yelp reviews to be more consistent with what I experienced than the Google reviews. Of course, everyone's experience may be different, so I recommend checking multiple review platforms before choosing a shop. read more

AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care - the light works well :) - Auto Repair Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Best mechanic and value in the area. Fadi has been servicing my vehicles for 20 years, many of my friends and family members also use him.

for months i heard a rumble in my 2012 honda and was able to leave it with the excellent staff for a week. with the 100,000 maintenance and a new caliper with rear brakes i now have the confidence to drive on a long vacation trip and the amazing surprise was that the invoice was 15% less than my worst fears thank you Mr Haddad read more

Fadi was very happy to take my $6500 for a new transmission, but when I had an issue with my transmission a few short weeks later, his treatment and demeanor completely changed. I was left sitting about 4 hours from the shop. Fadi proceeded to blame me for not driving the broken down vehicle home and refused to pay the full rental amount, continuing to blame the situation on me. As a young woman, I urge you to take your vehicle somewhere else! Once the money was collected, Fadi was rude, condescending and demeaning. For work that lasts a short amount of time with no follow up to rectify the situation appropriately, this is your shop! On a positive note, Bill was amazing, kind and the only saving grace of my experience read more

Customer service is a joke here. I was ready to ask a question and I said "uhh" as I was gathering my thoughts. He interrupts me and said "no uhhss. whats your question". Not helpful and they never call back as they said would when my car was ready. I'd rather go elsewhere. read more

I've brought my Infinity SUV here for years and I honestly think it is the only reason the car is still running after nearly 18 years. I have always been treated as family at this location and I can trust the pricing that is given to me. It can be tough dropping your car off without knowing what the final cost will be. I've never felt ripped off here and trust the team entirely. They explain the process and have always delivered on time. I highly recommend this AAMCO location and the staff! read more

My friend took her mini van to get it looked at since the abs light was on. They told her it was the transmission they "fix", charged her 546$ for nothing because a month later the light comes back on. Come to find out that they didn't changed the sensor at all. She got it looked at by a different mechanic. They basically stole that money from her. Y'all some trash read more

Great guys working here. Probably the only place in the Tyson's area I trust to do good work at reasonable prices. I've had them do some detective work on malfunctioning cars before and it has always been a pleasure working with them. read more

My normal garage told me my transmission was leaking fluid and motor oil. Since they didn't work transmissions, off to Aamco I went, expecting a 4 figure repair bill. Apparently there still are honest repair shops in the world. Aamco did the diagnostics and found that the transmission was fine, much to my relief. They repaired the oil filter housing to repair the oil leak and I saved a bundle. read more

From a recommendation I decided to try this location for a state inspection. Fadi greeted me kindly and took the time to understand a concern I had before starting. He took my car back and had me back on my way quickly. It was great! I would recommend asking for Fadi since he made the process go so smoothly! read more

I went there with a "free coupon" from their website to check my engine light for free. The receptionist pushed the coupon back and said we check it for 49 dollars in a lame attitude. That's good I didn't check my car at their place.. They have the free coupons on their web just to let them come and charge them,, sick liars read more

I brought my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder to this AAMCO location back in 2009 and the owner Fadi took me in as if I was a loyal existing client and it made me feel so comfortable in comparison to all the other transmission shops I went to in the Northern VA area. Fadi and co took great care my car and is still running til this day which is amazing. They're great at following up after services and go all the way to make you feel taken care of. Highly recommend, super attentive, genuine atmosphere! read more

I've been taking my car here for over 10 years. I've taken 3 different cars (American, Japanese, and German) and the quality of service has always been there. They do everything for me from change light bulbs to replacing brakes to repairing transmissions. The work is always done on time. if there is a delay or something needs customer authorization, they follow up prior to placing a part order. More over, they have good relationships with the dealers in the area and can get you the part you want (OE vs. AM) - pending availability - and will explain the differences in price/quality if you ask! I've found that the Audi, Tesla, and Toyota dealerships nearby trust AAMCO. I've noticed technicians from those dealerships hanging around the shop and also bringing their cars in for routine maintenance and inspections. read more

Avoid at all costs, the main receptionist bill is a total jackass. When you called he is blatantly rude, dismissive, does not care to ever give you real details on your car or your situation. Literally does not care about losing business, I would find any other place to take my car next time. The wait time is unacceptable, ranging on days at a time for a simple fix. The rudeness alone is worth skipping this place. Get nicer people to work there! read more

Talked on the phone, and as soon as I mentioned I had a free check engine light on coupon, the attitude completely changed. Also, they're trying to charge $49 to check the engine light, even though the website doesn't specify specific locations that take/don't take the coupon!! Complete liars - I would not trust them with my car. read more

My experience with this service center was a nightmare. I had my wife's Scion for a check engine light checked at this place because it was closest to my work place and easy for us to get back to work. I considered AAMCO to be good as I had a good experience with one of their locations. So the guy who took us in said that he would us a call as soon as he finds out what the problem is. He never did. We called him at 3pm and he says that the mechanic said that it needs a sensor replaced and waiting for us to give a go ahead. How can we give him the go ahead if he didn't even call? Anyway it was too late for that day and we told him we will get the car the next day. So the next day we give him the car and the same thing repeats, he never called back. We went back and got the car and paid 250$ for the repairs. The immediate next day the check engine light was back on. I called them and asked him about it and he asked us to bring the car back. So we go back again, he asked us to leave the car and so we did. That evening we called him(we were sure he is not gonna call back) and he said that they replaced the sensor for free which went bad again. So we take the car home and guess what? the light came back. We call him this time and he asks us to take it to the Toyota dealer. I was so mad at this point they wasted like almost a week and made us spend like 250$ for a sensor which we are not even sure is replaced and a very bad customer service. I would not recommend this service center for anyone, not even a small repair. I hope AAMCO keep their standards in this regard. read more

I went out today to find a place that I could get my emissions done. The stations in Mclean are always so backed up. I arrived at AAMCO when they were in the process of closing and they turned me away at first. One guy (not sure, but he might be the owner) came over and said they already closed up, but he will personally help me out. He then proceeded to direct me into the garage and took care of my emissions check. He saved me so much time and was very professional. read more

Can't say enough about this shop. Open, honest, fair. These guys are in the relationship business. I've been coming here for 14 years because they're problem solvers, plain and simple. Saw Sean McVay picking up his car there once. They treat everyone like family! read more

Bill The Receptionist is to over weight to be this disrespectful i called to check on my vehicle and bill was totally disrespectful i asked to speak to the manager and he told me he was the manager and that my vehicle would get done wen he gets to it. Do NOT BRING YOUR CAR/TRUCK TO THIS SHOP!!!!!!! read more

I took my 2000 Tahoe here several times over the last 19 years. They have kept the car running and in great shape all these years. They have been able quickly turnaround various issues, lights / suspension / windows within a few days. read more

Been going to this AAMCO in Tyson's for 10 years now. Always friendly and timely service with workers I can trust. The staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and even recommended them to my entire family. read more

AAMCO on Tyco Road I owned an Isuzu Trooper, a four-wheel drive vehicle. It was running fine, except that it won't shift to the four wheel drive mode. I took it to AAMCO to fix the four-wheel drive problem. Before I left my house, I opened the hood and checked whether everything else was OK, including the oil level. AAMCO did not fix the four wheel drive shifting problem. They told me while waiting in their shop that the radiator was cracked and there was no oil in the engine. I went and looked. The radiator had every appearance of having been hit with a hammer. I did not have any choice but to agree to replace the radiator at the price AAMCO wanted as AAMCO had put me in a position such that I could not drive the vehicle to any other shop. Altogether the repairs came to approximately $900. No, the four wheel drive problem was not fixed, for which I went there in the first place. AAMCO is a franchise. I complained to AAMCO headquarters. They essentially told me to get lost. read more

I just called these guys. They were about the 26th company I called today. All of those other companies I called for quotes on used transmissions, parts or labor, were professional. This business however immediately responded with rude comments and then when he failed to listen to my question he insulted my ability to understand, even though I understand perfectly what I wanted and communicated it well. The prior 26 businesses had no complaints about my communication skills. He flat out told me that he doesn't like doing that repair and just doesn't want to work with me. So rather than acting professionally he acted with personal hostility and antagonism to my simple quote for a job that their website clearly claims it does. In other words the owner refused service because he didn't like me. Terrible business. Run people. Run! read more

I called for a Xmsn flush quote on the phone and Bill quoted me $100 more than the Aamco in the next town. When I told Bill this, he became argumentative and chastising, especially when I told him that I thought his quote was "expensive." If this is how they conduct business, I will never be going here! read more

I recently had transmission trouble with my 2007 Honda Fit. The dealership looked it over and said it needed a new transmission and gave me an estimate of $5300. I brought it here instead and was back on the road with a $300 repair. The crew stayed on Xmas eve to complete the job and get me back on the road for the holidays. So far it's running great. I can't thank them enough! read more

I took my 2000 subaru to these guys after a great shop I use for regular repairs was at a loss as to a sound in my rear when I turned. They believed I would need to purchase a used transmission ($1400.00 to $1800.00). As you really need trans guys to evaluate transmission, I took it to this shop as I trusted them. After a couple of days of testing and diagnostics they determined it was the rear 4 wheel drive gear and not the transmission. I needed transmission service anyway so they replaced my trans fluid, filters cleaned or replace and put an additive in. No more problem and it costs me about $252.00. How's that. read more

Very displeased with the quality of service and professionalism. Brought car in for a strange noise and they recommended replacing the wheel bearing, which took several days. Brought it to the dealer two days after AAMCO's repair when the noise came back (had a bad feeling about these guys after discussing the repair with them) and dealer found a loose screw but couldn't verify the bearing install (it's sealed). Subsequently had to replace this part replace this part that is supposed to last the lifetime of the car just over a year later. Went to the dealer for this second repair; AAMCO wouldn't do anything for me since it was past their very limited warranty. Will never go back here. read more

Do not go to this place! I've had the worst experience with them. The customer service is the worst I have experienced with any auto shop. Bill, the office manager is a rude and unprofessional. They kept my car for over two weeks before they even made a diagnosis, then said they fixed it. Now the transmission is worse than it was before. And when I got the car back it was filthy inside and out and smelled like grease which took months to go away. If you like your car, try another place. read more

I recently serviced my car at AAMCO Transmissions on Tyco Rd in Vienna. The service by itself was outstanding. I was quoted half the price of the dealer, although the parts were purchased from the dealer. People were very courteous, and my car is running perfect. I strongly recommend AAMCO on Tyco Road in Vienna read more
