Throughout the process, communication was frustrating, and instead of feeling like a valued customer, I was made to feel like an inconvenience. At one point, the owner even suggested that my truck remaining at the shop was preventing them from servicing other customers, despite the fact that the vehicle was there because it had not yet been properly repaired. After paying approximately $4,000 for repairs that included replacement of the camshaft, VVT sprocket, timing components, and related work, I drove the truck home and immediately experienced a significant coolant leak. The following day, I had the vehicle inspected elsewhere and was informed that a hose clamp appeared to have never been installed, despite AJ's invoice indicating these components had been removed and reinstalled. This allowed coolant to escape and spray throughout the engine compartment, ultimately causing my truck to overheat. Since then, the situation has only become worse. I have now had the truck inspected by two separate independent repair facilities. Most recently, Keweenaw Auto informed me that while replacing the VVT solenoids, they discovered numerous additional concerns with the work previously performed. They found multiple stripped components, evidence of coolant leaking throughout the engine compartment, corrosion caused by the coolant leak, and other issues that should not have been present following a major repair. Their technician told me the truck should not have been driven in the condition it was in. I am now facing an additional repair bill of approximately $1,500 simply to correct these newly discovered issues before any further diagnosis can even continue. This is on top of the nearly $4,000 I already paid AJ's Automotive. What has been equally disappointing is the complete lack of accountability. During conversations about these issues, AJ acknowledged that their mechanic had been extremely busy and stated that "mistakes can be made." Despite that acknowledgment, they have continued to dispute the findings of multiple independent repair facilities. Since picking up my truck from AJ's Automotive, two separate mechanics have identified serious problems they believe originated from or were discovered because of the original repair. Rather than showing a willingness to investigate or make things right, AJ's has repeatedly insisted that everyone else is wrong and that their work was not the cause. As a customer, I trusted that my vehicle would be repaired correctly and that if something went wrong, the shop would stand behind its work. Instead, I have spent weeks without reliable transportation, incurred thousands of dollars in additional expenses, and endured the stress of watching my truck's condition deteriorate while trying to determine what happened. I did not want to leave this review. I simply wanted my truck repaired correctly. Instead, I have had to seek multiple independent opinions because new problems have continued to surface after AJ's repair. I sincerely hope AJ's Automotive chooses to take responsibility for its workmanship and works toward a fair resolution. This review reflects my personal experience and the information provided to me by the independent automotive professionals who inspected my vehicle after it left AJ's Automotive.

Brought trans to shop about a year and 1/2 ago to have rebuilt after it overheated. Shop freshened…read moreup the trans(new clutches/steels) and replaced some hard parts that were worn out, installed shift kit(was told), hardened sun shell(maybe it looks like a stock piece to me), new rear planetary(more on that below) and included new rebuilt torque converter and trans cooler. Took trans home, flushed lines and radiator cooler with 2 cans of Kooler Kleen and then 2 quarts of new ATF with compressed air in between, very very clean no obstructions. Also added new cooler and installed temp gauge. Followed start up instructions to a "T", checked for leaks(none)and filled to proper level. I don't drive the vehicle often, only when needed (truck). Shifted fine everything seemed good. Fast forward to last month noticed gear whine in first gear that stopped when shifting to 2nd. Was going to contact shop on vacation and ask about it. Soon after was taking off from stop normally and "BANG" trans exploded internally and no forward gears. Towed home and dropped pan and LOTS of metal in the pan-looked like bearing pieces to me. Fluid looks gray from all the metal but smells brand new. Keep in mind this trans has less than 1000 miles since the rebuild! Only tows light fishing boat occasionally and trans gauge never got past 150F since rebuild. Called shop told owner what happened and he made it sound like I did all sorts of things wrong installing it (like not bypassing the radiator cooler-I just couldn't justify doing that and from what I've read it's not the smart thing to do) and that I must not have flushed the lines good enough, etc. So now I'm hesitant to take it back, he made it sound like it's all my fault that it failed. So I pull it out again(what a pita on my back in the garage) and decided to take it apart myself to see what went wrong. I found a missing bolt in the valve body, the 2/4 servo shaft looks like it's been welded on??(never heard of or seen that before, talked to other trans shops and they thought it was a very poor mod to say the least) but everything else looks great until I get to the rear planetary (one of the hard parts that was supposedly replaced) . The bearing came apart and that is what started the catastrophic failure. The bearing pieces and splines took out the(new) planetary, ring gear that it rides in, the sun gear, and possibly the output shaft. So now I have to figure out what to do, I only got about 700 miles out of the trans, and I sure don't want to take it back after the negative conversation I had with owner. I think I'm going to try to fix it myself, can't be any worse than my experience with RM, if I get more than 700 miles I guess I did pretty good being a rookie. I have to just chalk it up to another hard lesson learned and just wanted to let others know about my experience-to say I'm bummed out about this is an understatement. I can't say my experiences with them have all been bad, in the past the owner has been good to me (fluid and filter change) and the trans was pretty clean on the outside when I picked it up and it didn't cost a ton of money being that I removed and installed myself. But that's no concession now that I'm right back where I was before the rebuild, actually in worse shape now with all the internal damage. Wouldn't recommend this place after this experience and wish I would have done my homework before choosing them-if you are looking for a trans place I recommend reading Transmission Rebuild 101: Words From A Shop Manager's Perspective. It opened my eyes quite a bit.
