I was referred to Alan for diagnosis and repair for my BMW 7 Series drivetrain and transmission…read morefaults. Previous diagnosis from independent service shops all pointed to full replacement of transmission and mechatronics unit. When driving the car, I always felt like I was dealing with some type of poor electrical contacts. I also feel like others who had previously diagnosed the car had come to the same conclusion but had concern about capabilities and abilities to warranty work. Alan and his team to the rescue! Dug into the transmission and came back with not only really firm diagnosis but also reported out that the transmission was in excellent condition. He also complimented me on what he could tell was a well maintained example of a 7 Series. He was familiar with the symptoms, vehicle and solutions. I'm am roughly 8 months into enjoying my vehicle after a couple of really frustrating years of trying to find an honest and reliable place to just tell me the truth and give me a fair price!

Hopefully this review will encourage other having electrical issues tied to their drivetrain to give Alan a call!

Although I appreciate that they didn't charge a diagnostic fee, I'm really disappointed with my…read moreexperience. I brought my car in due to an intermittent gear slipping issue, which I had already traced to a solenoid problem--a very common issue with my Pontiac G6. The symptoms only occurred twice, very briefly. My check engine light came on both times but turned off on its own. I was still able to drive the car on the freeway at full speed with no issues. The problem only showed up during city stop-and-go traffic. I specifically asked if they could just replace the solenoid, and was told no. Instead, I was told I "only had gears 1 and 2" and that I'd need a $4,800 transmission rebuild--which is objectively false, as I literally drove the car 70+ mph on the freeway both before and after leaving the shop. My engine light was off before coming to the shop, turned on once at the shop, then turned back off shortly after leaving. There is no way my car had only gears 1 & 2 I know what that feels like as it happened twice briefly. So to say this to me is insane. Mind you wouldn't have been able to go more than 25 with out the car struggling they must have assumed I don't know a thing about cars. Possibly because I'm a woman and I went alone. They also claimed the solenoid was too difficult to access without replacing the computer and warned me about my car's mileage, as if that meant it wasn't worth fixing. But then, on my way out, they admitted it's a "really great car" and "this is the only issue." It felt manipulative. I decided to trust my gut, went to a different shop, and had the solenoid replaced--and now my car runs perfectly fine. No rebuild needed. If I hadn't known what I was talking about, they would've gladly let me spend thousands on a completely unnecessary repair. Trust yourself. Do your research. Don't let fear-based upselling push you into something you don't need. Also from reading the reviews it sounds like the routinely tell their customers they need a rebuild and successfully do the rebuild. (more than likely something very easily replaceable) However a good transmission shop doesn't just rebuild, they properly and honestly diagnose and repair. He also tried selling me cars on the way out. Notice how he hasn't replied to this yelp review and also told me he feels bad for me in the text? Very unprofessional I don't need your pitty I needed honesty which I didn't get from this shop. He also told me don't buy a used car you can't guarantee you won't have problems it's best if you fix this one with us. Also told me not to go to another shop because id want a local shop lol

It makes sense they only have 3 stars. We recently purchased a vehicle from Carvana and used a…read morepersonal mechanic to do a complete car check; turns out Carvana sent a lemon and was trying to pass it off as a "decent" car- So we were recommended to bring it to a "certified" carvana shop which happens to be this excuse of a shop. We were told that one of the closest "certified" carvana shop was AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car due to the fact that it was the transmission being the issue this would be a better shop to go to- WRONG! So now that you have context, i'll explain the terrible service we've received. We dropped the car off at AAMCO on June 18 (thursday) @ 12pm and we were told we wouldn't hear anything back until next day. So far, normal. Right? Well here is the frustrating part, we got a call on Friday with great news that the car is ready to be picked up, we were asked to give them about 30-40 mins to get paperwork together (which worked out because that's about the time it takes to get there) Alas, we got back to the shop around lunch time (closer to 1) on friday and first of all- they had the vehicle parked in a red zone, in front of a fire hydrant. (see photo) When we walked in, the gentleman we dropped it off to recognized us immediately and said "You're here for the tahoe right?" we responded with yes. Now another gentleman sitting in the lounge, eating his lunch interrupts and immediately says "you can't take the tahoe, oh no, the tahoe isn't ready yet" Baffled we asked, "So why did we receive a call from someone here saying the car was ready? " his response - "who called you?" We responded with "a gentleman named Isaac" he proceeded to argue back "noooo, that car isn't ready yet" he then asked for our phone number and when provided, he realized HE was the one who reached out and told us the car was ready. But it wasn't. As he realized - there was no apology , no sincerity in his voice, and just blatant disrespect by laughing it off. Noticeably upset we continued to ask questions "so why did we get a call that the car is good to go and ready?" and he just said "oh that was meant for someone else". Now even more upset because he wasn't taking accountability and giving us zero information about the actual vehicle. Until we finally turned to the other guy who pretty much told us that we have to get a brand new transmission ‍ Which was entirely brand new news from the last phone call we got. Now, we aren't impatient people and understand that mistakes happen and miscommunications happen all the time but what we felt was disrespectful is that he just laughed in our face, while this has been a stressful task to begin with. With gas prices these days, driving back and forth for no reason is upsetting. Again, no sincere apology from him just laughs, while continuously stuffing his face with food mind you. WAIT WAIT WAIT- UPDATE! We showed up today June 20 (saturday) to pick up the car so that we can get it back to carvana, lo and behold - NOW THE CAR ISN'T EVEN STARTING! Carvana sent us a lemon and now they are making us deal with disrespectful sexist men. Yes, due to the fact that we are women is the reason I believe we were treated like this by Isaac. Interesting how the whole time it's been in our possession since Monday it has started totally fine, now we take it to the shop and they told us it was a 50/50 chance it would start. Again, the one younger guy that was there was decent but the older gentleman (i believe his name was Isaac) is a poor excuse of a human. Anyway, management- Isaac needs a refresher on how to speak to customers or just a reminder to be kind and to just take accountability. We're all adults here. Never recommending this business to anyone!

Each time I gas it, it stalls basically the drive is just weird. This is the issue from what I researched: "According to GMC forum. Our model 2015 - 2018 has a torque convertor in the transmission that isn't very good. In do time, it produce metal shaving that happens to get clogged in the transmission and when they repair it. They have to flush everything out." My husband found this place since he drives by daily and gave it a try. I don't know his name bc my husband was the one but he said he was able to. Since he sounded knowledgeable about cars, we had him proceed. He was nice enough to extend the warranty too! The price... uh pricey...I must say! Basically, a torque converter, full rebuild, and flushing out the transmission. Got my car back in a week in a half- Which is pretty fast! My husband said the drive is so much better! We took the car the next day to Big Sur and the drive was smooth! Hopefully now my car will last me for a while. Thank you for being honest with your wotk!

Browsed yelp and Autotek seemed worth checking out. Was set up pretty quick and brought my car in for an oil change.

I had thought the lot looked familiar when I drove in because Autotek is neighbors with where I get my smog checks. I think my car has found its family . Got to meet Peter, the manager. He was very cool and cordial. He's got jokes too. Pricing is about what you'd find anywhere else nearby--the oil is good. Service was as clean and quick as expected of professionals. About a week later, I even received a thank you card from Autotek. Super service! PS. I didn't get to meet the dog in the photos though. Hopefully next time.
