    Missing bolt on the water pump
    E L.

    On my other car that they had worked on, I hadn't opened up the hood until today and noticed a few things. A missing engine head cover, hood prop not secured in the holding slot bracket, battery hold down bracket is not secure and battery not even sitting flush in the tray, electrical harness bracket not secured. Overall this shop will do things fast but at the same time quality is very bad or their technicians are simply lazy. Will not be coming back here again. Sometimes it's worth spending a little extra for better quality workmanship, and not get the cheapest price for a shoddy job.

    Extremely satisfied with this shop , brought in my Camaro SS for an oil change and it was a very smooth and easy process. Price is great and so is the service provided. Thanks ZBT

    Cheap repair shop, quick work, enthusiastic staff. The store is especially open on weekends so it is convenient for busy people

    ZBT auto 10/10!!!

    I called ZBT at about 11:20 am today and inquired about how to fix a lug nut that Costco tire had stripped the previous day on one of my wheels. They stated that they could see me same day, on a Sunday, and to bring the car down to take a look. They stated that Costco had stripped the lug nut and I was concerned about driving with only 4/5 nuts installed. They quickly were able to rethread and fix my stripped lug nut. The gentleman at ZBT were kind, efficient and responsive. I highly recommend ZBT for any of your car needs. 10/10 rating. Definitely coming back to get my oil change here and future service needs.

    Agreed to a full synthetic oil change for $60. They charged me $90. Will never use them again.

    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!

    I inquired about getting a free inspection to check for an issue with my air conditioning system…read more(because ChatGPT said that they could offer this) and was told over the phone that they could do this. I verified again in person, and a (likely) different person said the same. However, after the inspection, the person said that I had to replace the entire unit () after a recharge failed and that I had to purchase an entire kit. AAMCO decided to assess an additional labor even though they didn't do any additional work. To verify what AAMCO told me, I brought my car to my regular mechanic, whom I trust, and he said that only a part had to be replaced. When you bring a car into a shop that you haven't used before, you have to ascertain that they would be trustworthy, that they would have the skills to properly diagnose and fix a problem, and that they would charge fairly for the work. AAMCO failed on all three counts. I would not recommend this business for car servicing. It appeared to me that they will try to make as much money as they could.

When I was trying to pre arrange to bring in my car to get checked on he wanted to have it there on his time and not mine. Once I agreed to his time and date he acted like he gave into what I needed he asked why I showed up that day and claimed he agreed to Monday. But I'm a very meticulous person I had Friday on my calendar he even made a comment for me to uber to work bc I said It would be an issue to bring on a work day and a non issue on my free day. When he finally got the part for my car he waited until I showed up to tell me the part didn't work out. So he left it in when I asked why he didn't simply communicate with me and put my old part back in he said it was too much or double the work. Then later proceeds to call me to say he needs the car back to take out the part and put my old part back because he needed to return the part. Very strange bc he could've saved both of us some time just doing it then and there. When I asked for my money back he said he was going to deduct 100$ for the "work" but I don't think it's just taking in consideration that my car was not fixed. He ordered another part and claimed it arrived broken so I'll just take it to Honda and pay whatever their fee is to get it done correctly. He also refused to give me any invoices / itemized receipt for the parts / work being done. Saying it would've been more to write it up in the shop meaning I don't know if I'm being charged accordingly or overcharged.
