Fast forward a few years later and I call them to get a quote on a service and they refuse to give me a quote unless I bring it to pay and diagnose saying it could cost "4 or 5 times more than I expected".

Sad to say I no longer trust this place.

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

At highway speeds, downshifting from 5th into 2nd gear can blow up your engine. Jeeps don't like 8000 RPM. They had my car for the day, and couldn't reproduce the issue in the .5 miles they drove on my car, then he called me on the phone at 3 pm and tried to tell me I don't know how to shift the car I've owned for 10 years. I told them fine, I'll come get it. I get there 60 minutes later, an hour before they close, and the doors are locked. They left early. They knew I was coming. They could have called, but didn't. Said they had an emergency. That was a lie... they answered their phone after hours with no emergency in their voice. You could see them inside. Tge Open neon sign facing Iceanside blvd was still lit. They just wanted to mess with me. They had my number. They could have told me they "had an emergency". Instead... I spent $15 in an uber getting from work to their shop after they called me, and told me I could come pick it up. Then I had to spend $25 to uber home after finding that out. Then I had to uber back in the morning for another $25. This place should be razed. They are totally worthless. I can prove every bit of this review. It will not be taken down. I was referred to them by Accurate Alignment who is awesome. I am also letting them know they should re-think their recommendation.

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. Juan explained to me that all of the (Honda Cars) have that (defect in their Transmission Part) where the Case Halves have a seam that is running across the Transmission Part and that seam causes the (Motor Oil to leak a small amount of oil from the Transmission Part). 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.

1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir
