My 2020 Malibu is in their shop because it had a delay before going into drive, and I told them Chevy dealer would replace it for about 5500 and Mark convinced me that since I drove the car in it shouldn't be worse case scenario. They would charge 1295. To disassemble and reinstall plus the parts so I said go. Once apart they said it would be 6700 To install remanufactured or 5500 for used. GM said the Trans was 2877.+tx and aamco said to install it would be 2374. Instead of the 1295. Bringing the cost to me up to 5,748, more than GM originally quoted me. I'm now stuck using Aamco because of the additional 1295. it would Cost to reinstall the Trans and get the car to JM Chevrolet in Lufkin, which offered to take 500 off If I bring it to him because of how this Aamco on Rayford road is treating a retired senior citizen on a fixed income

AAMCO Auto Gaithersburg (Emarald Auto) if you value your time and money don't waste your time horrible service.. I have a complaint with County about them. One of my issues is they charged an additional $500.fee. for labor that originally said it was a shop fee to install outside parts. Then after I said I didn't want them to do the work they said it's for Labor never said anything about this misc fee. I had to pay an additional $1000 to get my car back and they didn't repair the car. Ridiculous is this the AAMCO way 😳.

Unethical Practices and Lack of Communication – Avoid AAMCO I recently had a deeply disappointing experience with AAMCO, Irondale, Alabama, and would not recommend their services to anyone. Here is a summary of my ordeal: I received an initial quote of $2,597.95 for vehicle repairs and paid $1,300.00 on April 3, 2024. The vehicle was promised to be ready by April 8, 2024. However, after being informed of delays due to staffing issues, my husband and I visited the AAMCO shop, only to find out that my vehicle had been transferred to a Ford dealer without any prior notification. The sales representative confirmed the transfer and assured us that AAMCO was handling the situation. We were not informed about any additional costs involved with this transfer. On May 1, 2024, AAMCO called to inform me that my vehicle was ready for pickup, with a new total cost of $4,750.02. After deducting the $1,300 already paid, I was left with a balance of $3,450.00. When I questioned the unauthorized additional work, the sales representative admitted to making the decision without my consent and insisted that he had the right to proceed without notifying me. He further stated that the vehicle would not be released until the balance was paid in full. This situation caused significant financial strain and highlighted the unethical practices of this AAMCO location. I strongly advise against using AAMCO for any vehicle repairs. They do not communicate additional charges to clients, and the owner believes he has the right to conduct work without the customer's knowledge or approval. Save yourself the hassle and choose a more reputable service provider.

I went to aamco in Knoxville Tn 104 stekoia lane. Made an appointment on tuesday They said they do a vehicle courtesy check no cost Transmission was slipping. They said the only way we can tell whats wrong is removing the pan and check contents $825 dollars to do this. Well give you credit when we rebuild the transmission. They said the transmission going to have to be repaired. I asked for a quote. we cant till we determine what parts need replacing. Give me a quote on intalling a rebuilt trans. we cant till we find out what the transmission cost. They had my transmission removed torn apart. Told me it was going to be $6,849 dollars to rebuild in house. I we put a rebuilt transmission in it will be $11,000 dollars. I had to have my truck to do my job so I told them to rebuild it. My bad. I went to pay and pickup my truck. Started writing a check. We cant take a check. ok Pulled out my debit card we cant take a debit card. I said why. Because we think you will stop payment if we except that payment. We only take cash. They locked my truck in their warehouse until I went and got cash. 6 thousand 8 hundred 49 dollars cash. Paid them didn't get home 3 miles away it started slipping again. Went back they drove it said its not slipping. Pulled it in their garage worked on it 45 minutes Told me it was a quart low on fluid. The Transmision is still not right They say there is nothing wrong with it. Stay away from this company.

I took my car to see what was wrong Logan the manager lied and said it was the alternator going bad making my car go into shock l found it was the transmission going out he wanted to charge me $630.97 bad business

I called this morning to get a quote from AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care in Joplin, MO. A man named Aaron answered the phone. I requested an estimate for an engine replacement and installation. I explained to him that I've had multiple mechanics determine conclusively the cause of the engine failure and what needed to happen to get my car running again. I provided in great detail the history and cause of the malfunction that lead up to the engine failure, the exact components that were damaged, and he insinuated that I didn't know what I'm talking about. I asked him to simply provide or even email me a cost ESTIMATE of an engine rebuild or new engine replacement for a 2007 300 C HEMI 5.7L and what the standard labor hour cost would be. He refused multiple times to give me any information. He refused to give me his last name so I'd know who I'm talking to as well. He kept insisting on me paying to have my car towed there rather than just give me a quoted estimate. I told him I understand additional costs may apply for unforseen circumstances and was okay with that. He refused to convey any kind of pricing transparency! None. He made me feel like he just wanted to make my car a captive of his lot while he went inside the engine compartment so he could tear more stuff up before giving me a quote. He averted any accountability on his word and I would never do business with AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care minus the Care. I asked him to send me an email for the cost of an engine replacement and the labor per hour and he refused to do both. This is the most unethical mechanic shop I have ever encountered and they should be avoided like the plague. I never imagined requesting a simple estimate would uncover such underhanded and dishonest tactics of an auto shop. I asked to speak to his manager. He said "I am the Manager." Had he chosen to escalate the call to another manager, this possibly could have been avoided. They should be ashamed of themselves! I reported them to the Better Business Bureau before this post also. I'm a decorated disabled veteran and I know when someone is being deceptive. DO NOT GO THERE! EVER!

I was told my shifting issues were from a bad ABS module. I specifically asked for transmission to be checked. Was told it was in great condition just needed a new ABS module to fix all the issues. 2 thousand dollars later my vehicle was good for THREE DAYS!!! ABS light came right back on. I went back and was told " The mechanic didn't hook up a ground wire"! Supposedly fixed it. I left and on the way home the light came on again. Because of the holidays and they being so busy I couldnt return until Jan 16. Left the vehicle to be checked again. One hour later Mike calls me to tell me he is sorry but now I need a new transmission. 4 thousand dollars but he would gladly install it free!! I said you assuredme the transmission was great and he went on to tell me "there must have been a electrical issue inside and he documented it like he is supposed to". I said what am I supposed to do now because the vehicle is not safe to drive as it shifts like it is in neutral when the ABS light is on, again. Mike told me to go buy a used transmission and even got a price for one. I told him when I first took my vehicle to him I was not willing to spend thousands on it. He assured me the transmission was great and all my issues would be fixed. What a joke. I wish I had listened to people who told me they are a ripoff

Spent 5300 on a new transmission, it still sticks in first gear or reverse, called to have it looked at again and nothing, location then closed, still under warranty for 12 months, brought it to another shop, they have had it a month an d no updates every time I call it's ill call you back in a few minutes and they never do, call corporate is useless you can't get in touch with live customer service and no one ever returns your emails or voice mails, do not go to aamco
