So it's difficult to trust anyone with truly caring for my car and not cheating me because soooo many have attempted until they realize I know a decent amount to not be 'had'. Im grateful each place I've lived I have found places I can trust, takes some searching and listening to locals. A friend recommended this shop and I'm so glad because when I walked in it felt a lot like walking into my granddad's shop. They run a great shop. Workers are nice and seem to really care. They make you feel comfortable leaving such an important part of your family with them, the family car! They have a waiting room, they use to provide snacks, it's been a while since we've waiting there so not sure now. Last few times we've left the vehicle with them. I'm so grateful they didn't push unnecessary upsells on customers. We were out of town and my husband took our suv to a valvoline... now some are decent, but most are all about that upsell and Walmart didnt even change the filter yet said they did and charged me! So while there's been a few times in life I've had to use what was available where I was, we live here now and T n T is where we go! For both vehicles.

Gary is not the king of marketing. He's old school word of mouth which is how I learned about. He had our van done in one day when he quoted us up to three. He also changed an engine gasket that was leaking some oil. There are lots of cool cars and dragsters in Gary's shop. If you need a transmission within a 100 miles of Well Built I highly recommend them. I hope to not see Gary for a long time. His work is guaranteed. #loveit

GOING OUT OF BUISNESS?…read more I took my 2013 Ford Fusion to Ruffners Transmission on 03/08/2021 for a diagnoses after a lovely, reassuring conversation with claimed owner Adrian V Soto (Soto Enterprises DBA Ruffners Transmission Company) and although the transaction was far from seamless and I was mislead regarding the timeframe multiple times, we ended the transaction 03/22/2022 on a good note. I called several days later with concern of an issue, the vehicle drove a little rough and a bit shaky, I was told that it was an engine rebuild so it's not going to RUN perfectly smoothly. Adrian: "it should adjust to your driving" Diagnoses Fee: $135 Transmission Rebuild: $4,015.12 Programming Fee: $236.16 Total: $4,386.16 On 12/19/2022 we took the vehicle in again from a leak, we were told the Transmission Seal and Axle Shift need work. I let my husband handle the transaction however being that the repair was likely cased caused by the transmission and shouldn't the seal have been replaced during rebuild I did not agree to the charges! I don't know much about cars! We paid $564.20 So far, for a total $4,815.48 that Soto Enterprise DBA Runffner Transmission has charge to maintenance my vehicle to refuses to honor the warranty provided stating: "I am in $200K plus debt why should I care about your issue" "Im closing down anyway" "I was going to help you out but im not anymore" My frustration was warranted based on the situation that Ruffners put me in both financially and emotionally!

I found Adrian through offerup when looking for a new transmission for my truck, he let me know that they had units available and had the ability to build the trans depending on my power goals. I wanted a stock rebuild just to get the truck going again. I towed my truck to the shop and within about a week it was all squared away, it felt brand new and I had no complaints for about 1000 miles. Unfortunately the truck suddenly wouldn't go into reverse, a freak accident cause a piece to break inside the trans (this was not their fault) I hit up Adrian to let him know my issue and he immediately got me into the shop despite them being fully booked. I received my truck again today and it feels like a brand new truck again. I normally don't take any of my vehicles to shops because I work on my cars myself, I have been for almost 10+ years. But due to my current living situation I don't have any place to do big jobs like a trans swap. From one mechanic to the general public, I trust Adrian and his workers to get the job done! Highly recommend this place.

Steve who is the general manager for the AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care Shop was very personable and thorough in discussing the details with me regarding having this (Reseal Transmission Replacement Service) done on my mom's car. I also told Steve I will pay him on a CASH Basis for this (Reseal Transmission Replacement Service) if he will give me a GOOD DISCOUNT. Steve also said he wants to make sure that before he gives my mom's Honda Accord LX Sedan Car back to me, he will have one of his mechanic's do a (Test Drive on her car) on (Thursday, December 24, 2020 ) in the morning for (30 minutes) to make sure there isn't anymore (oil leaking from underneath her car) nearby the Transmission Part. I said that's a good idea. I waited until Steve this general manager called me at my home. Steve called me on Thursday, December 24, 2020 in the early afternoon and Steve said Frances your mom's car is ready to be picked up now from their AAMCO Transmissions and Total Car Care Center. I thanked him and said I will have to call for a Uber Driver to pick me up at my home and will call the Operator Service to schedule a ride for me now. Steve told me No Worries! Steve also said my mom's car will be parked in front of their AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Center Shop waiting for me. I thanked Steve. So I schedule a Uber Driver to pick me up at my home from this operator. This operator told me Jose is my Uber Driver and he will pick me up within 7 minutes. So I waited outside for Jose to pick me up at my house. Then I was wearing a (Face Mask) and got into Jose's Silver SUV Car. Jose drove me to this AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care Center in a 25 minutes time frame. Then Jose dropped me off at AAMCO then I walked into the front lobby and Steve this general manager was waiting for me to pay my bill. But first, Steve discussed with me the (one year or 12,000 Miles Warranty) this is the covered protection for my mom's Honda Accord Car. Then I had to sign off on the 2 page Warranty Paperwork Information. Then Ben Valenzuela the owner of AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care Center told me that Steve their general manager enjoyed working with me because Ben the owner said I am a very (detailed oriented person) and Steve enjoyed working with me as their customer. I thanked Ben Valenzuela the owner for the compliment. Then Juan this really caring mechanic came into the front office and told me he is the one who completed this (Reseal Transmissions Replacement Service) on my mom's 1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan Car. Juan was very nice to me on the (first day), I had my appointment at 10 a.m. with Steve the general manager on Tuesday, December 22, 2020.

After Steve this general manager discussed with me the Warranty procedure. I paid Steve the $1,165.00 in Cash on Thursday, December 24, 2020. Then Steve gave me a receipt.

I have a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. It started shifting funny on the freeway. So I took it to some…read morefriends of mine, who happenen to be Porsche mechanics for over 40 years. They did a diagnostic on it, ran the codes and came up with a p0771 pending code regarding the solenoid. They explained to me what it would cost to take it off and put it back and what the part would cost. But, he said, American transmissions are not really in they're wheelhouse right now, besides they have a ton of work to do. They suggested I take it to aamco since they just work on transmissions. As a 40-year Porsche mechanic, he estimated the job could be done relatively quick for about 500 to $700. When I took it to aamco, we told him what the code was but he really wasn't trying to hear that. He just kept restating that he was going to check the battery, the electrical system and other mechanical parts of the car to make sure everything was running fine. I said okay whatever, but just know that there's a code. He called me back the next day and told me they had run a diagnostic on it, pulled up a couple other codes and took it for a couple test drives to try to duplicate the problem - which eventually they were able to do. Then he told me it was going to be $1,485 to take the transmission apart so they can figure out what's wrong with it. I was like wtf? What about the code? He said well we're not positive that's it and there's a couple other codes that came up and you have dirty transmission fluid and something else is going on with it. I told him no thanks I'll just come back and get the car since it's $1,500 just to take it apart and a 40-year mechanic told me it was a $700 job. I got back the next morning and picked up my car. I dropped it off with almost a full tank. 350 mi left in the tank. When I picked it up, it had 267 miles left in the tank. Where in the heck have you been with my car! Bunch of unprofessional losers. There was also a coffee cup in my cup holder! Wtf? You just out running errands in my car and getting coffee? I have a dash cam rear view mirror. It has a power cord, a USB attachment, and also an audio cable. He unplugged all of them for some reason and just left the cords hanging. What does the mirror have to do with the transmission?! Wtf? On the phone, he told me I shouldn't be driving it that much if any at all because it's just going to make the transmission worse. But again, when I picked up the car, there was 80 mi missing from the gas tank! Absolutely unprofessional and the reason why people hate mechanics. Don't ever go here. It's seems to be massive money-hungry dirty scam by the owner.

Subie shop has always done me right and been so transparent with me over the years, and this is why I have been coming here for 9 years now. I have let them re-build my motor from top to bottom, brembo break rebuild, heads machined, and everything in between. This place gets it done and right. One thing that really had me trust them, was about 7 years ago they were pulling my motor and they accidentally put the tiniest scratch on a piece of metal that no one would see, but they still called me to let me know. Now that is rare! With all the scamming going on out in the world why trust anyone else. Thank you Jose and staff for always being so genuine! You have earned yourself a forever customer. Thomas H
