Great customer service, Polite people so far good job
Staff was courteous and helped ease my mind about car issues. Fast and friendly ++
Great customer service. Rebuilt transmission and now my car runs better than ever. Price was reasonable for the work completed.
I had an Amazing experience at AAMCO today. The one located on Broadway in Chula. Memo was awesome and he took good care of me. I would definitely pay him a visit again and I recommend you to pay him a visit if you have any car issues.
I can't recommend these guys enough! Great honest communication from Memo! Quality service! Timely delivery of the fix! Thank you all!!
Great service! Memo took great care of me. The work done on my car was outstanding! I'll be back for sure!!!!
Great customer service and very satisfied with repairs made. I am a customer for life and will highly recommend.
Memo went above & beyond to give me good 'ol fashion customer service
Great service. Fast and knowledgeable.
My experience was SMOOOTH from the first day to the last day. There was never a moment I was unaware of the status regarding my vehicle. Communication 100%. I recommend AAMCO CHULA VISTA over anybody. Ask for Memo he will take care of you!! Also Secure One Insurance keeps their word!!
Great shop! Excellent work!
Having had my own businesses in the past, I'm pretty critical when it comes to customer service, just ask my wife. This AAMCO location is on it! Thank you!
I started having multiple problems with my 2010 Ford F150. I searched Google for Chula Vista transmission shops and was impressed by the reviews AAMCO, and in particular Memo, received. I called on a Thursday hoping they could get to me by the following week. Memo was very friendly and got me in that day. The problems were nowhere near as bad as I feared and Memo got the work done almost immediately. The customer care displayed by Memo and the work done by the tech were every bit as good, if not better, than described in other reviews. I called Memo the myth, the man...the legend. He has earned a lifetime customer. THANK YOU so very much.
Experience was great. During the first week my car was there Memo was patient with me while I worked with my insurance to get the cost covered and while they worked on my car, I was always updated on the progress. The team was awesome!
Their service team are great!
I was in a rough spot with things going on but Memo and the team were great. I needed a new transmission and the communication from start to finish was A+. if you need anything done with your 100% go to Memo and this location. Thank you again.
Amazing service!! I definitely recommend this place. I needed brake service and Memo was able to book me the next day early in the morning as soon as they opened, which was a plus due to work. I got a call that my car was ready for pick up within an hour, another plus. I will be recommending this place to friends and family and I myself will be coming back if needed. Memo made this experience so much better!!!
I just want say this is hands down my new mechanic shop to go to. MEMO is the guy he took care of me and made me feel good through out the whole process. I highly recommend this shop 100% your in good hands with these guys. Not here to take advantage of you either!
Professional, courteous, and competent from initial diagnostic til job complete. I recommend highly...
Ron, I want to tell you that your crew at AAMCO Chula Vista are great people to deal with and provide excellent customer service. Starting with Memo. Excellent customer service. Very good customer care. Listens to the customer's needs and is very knowledgeable. Offers to help wherever he can. Definitely makes the customer feel at ease and it will be a job well done. A+++Ismael : extremely Knowledgeable, a wealth of information when it comes to transmission internals and building a transmission. He is a Craftsman at what he does and is able to put it in terms for the customer to understand as well as options. A+++Luz very helpful did not deal with her originally but she also kept good service chain going. She made sure to pass my messages on to Memo and Ismael. Definitely shows she cares about the customers. I had a minor issue with what appeared to be the transmission when it was actually a signal problem with a set of fuse relays that was carefully explained to me by Ismael. He also fixed the problem before I got to your shop. My transmission is working excellent now. Feels like a new transmission great rebuild. Many many thanks to you and everybody at AAmco Chula Vista. Ron you have a Gold Star group of people at your location.
When I reached on yelp for a quote, AAMCO on Broadway reached out quickly, offered me a fair quote, and got me in their schedule as quickly as possible. After bringing in my truck, they offered to inspect my truck to ensure the repairs that a dealer claimed I needed were necessary. Later that day, I received a call from their Manager who gave me an honest assessment, and although he would love my business, their integrity knew that the repairs that I requested were not necessary and gave me my truck back. Their honesty alone will for sure bring me back for all of my auto needs.
recommend going here for any mechanical needs, Ron the owner has a great team. Came in for a transmission pan and fluid change. Truck runs like new now thanks to Ron and his team.
Very nice place would get my car done there for sure
MY AAMCO Experience was wonderful! I am very hesitant of any auto body shops, but decided to roll the dice with this one after reading multiple different platforms of reviews. They were truly outstanding, knew what they were talking about and was able to fix a long-standing problem in a very timely manner. They used genuine Subaru parts and it comes with a 12 month warranty of service free of charge.
They were very flexible with my schedule as I work six days a week and all around just a really awesome shop. I have already recommended them to another friend of mine!!
Ron, the owner, even personally reached out to see how my service was. I am grateful for Memo, Ron and the whole crew over at AAMCO Chula Vista! I would highly recommend supporting this mom and pop shop over giant corporations.
I called the shop and was greeted by Ron. I explained to him what I was looking for and he quickly booked an appointment for me to get a transmission fluid change for the following week. I want to thank Ron and his crew for providing great service! Thank you
Good job!
Great customer service, the manager in front, so helpful and was very kind to me. The service was about what I expected, had a water heater hose replaced, and the price was not bad for us !
First time servicing my car at Aamco and was very impressed. Honest straightforward service without any gimmicks or tricks
Memo was super helpful. My transmission went out and I found AAmco on Google. Glad I did great service! Thanks again Guerillmo
Everyone there was awesome! Both Memo and Luz were a real pleasure to work with and were very helpful. I was traveling a long distance after picking it up and was nervous about any issues. It ran well and I am glad I chose to have it repaired with you guys vs. trying to transport it back home for repairs. Great service!
Amazing! Memo was very attentive, supportive and walked me through every step of the process. Definitely choosing you guys as my Go-to mechanic
Very easy process - made an appointment, brought it in, work was completed quickly, picked it up at the time quoted. Price was also more realistic than the dealer for a transmission filter and fluid change.
Honest. Efficient and Affordable. What else can I say.
Thanks guys
Great customer service..
Made an appointment w/AAMCO. Filled out paperwork and spoke directly with Memo. He provided me with paperwork and an estimated time of completion of repair to my 2008 Honda Fit Sport. Overall, Memo delivered good customer service. Drove my car to work and it handled well with no issues. Very satisfied with the work AAMCO performed.
This particular AAMCO was the cleanest and most organized I've been to. With a AAMCO lifetime warranty on my car since 1988, the warranty requires a 'free' inspection each year to remain valid so I've been to many all over the country in the following years getting this requirement done wherever I was. They have a neat very clean waiting area with coffee. Restroom is likewise spotless which really helps. Service was very friendly.
I needed a break service on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler JK so i sent a message through Yelp and the first response within a few minutes was from AAMCOs owner. He offered me to bring in my car for a free inspection as early as Monday at 830am. I scheduled the appointment and was greeted by "Memo" at the shop, he was very nice and had great customer service. I stayed for a bit at the shop, it was clean, staff was friendly, they had coffee and left while my car was getting serviced. A few minutes passed and "Memo" called with a quote on what my car needed, they replaced my breaks all around at an affordable price and also let me know my car needed new break lines and a replacement of the rear shocks. Got a quote for the shocks but definitely replaced my breaks all around. I recommend AAMCO for all car services they offer and my warranty is squeak free! Thank you!
Quick, efficient, answered all my questions
Everything went amazing. Memo helped me out from beginning to end and made sure everything was communicated. I am glad I went to this shop and will continue to do so..
Excellent Customer Service and prices! Highly recommended this place for any type of car maintenance!!
Very professional and courteous, would recommend every time.memo and Luz are awesome
Excelente service! I would recommend to all. My experience with aamco was excellent. The customer service that they provided was above and beyond. They worked on my 2017 Hyundai sport. I was having issues with my transmission. And they resolved it. Not only that, but they were very patient with me.I am disabled and memo provided me with the best customer service.Il have received in a very long time. Memo mentioned other issues that my car had.I'll be returning to have them do the work. Thank you AAMCO!!
Great service and they stand behind their warranty. Abot 1 year after replacing my transmission, it failed again (car model prone to transmission failure) and was promptly repaired by AAMCO.
Memo talked rough numbers with me over the phone and I brought the car in (towed) the same day. Work was completed by noon the next day. Memo was great to work with and the electronic communications via text were flawless!
Memo was pretty helpful and answered all my concerns....I'm going to be going back to have them do some more work on my cars
Very accommodating and knowledgeable employees
Excelent, thank you!
Very Professional
Memo was super communicative and honest. I originally came in for some weird feelings in my second gear. Memo told me he had a few techs test the car and said it was most likely just due to my transmission fluids combined with the cold weather and that other than that my transmission was in great shape. I was super happy with the experience and honesty!
I went in for a checkup on my transmission to AAMCO in Chula Vista and it was free to check car to make sure it had fluid. Me being a senior citizen and a woman by herself I was treated with respect and kindness and Memo explained everything to me where I could understand completely what to do next checkup which I appreciate that AAMCO has been a company that has been around for years that should tell you their company name speaks for itself. Thank you Vickie R. 1/8/2024
I had recently had problems w my Honda Ridgeline truck & went to my usual mechanic who recommended replacement of the transmission for $3K used or $7k new! I looked online for causes of my issue (Blinking Drive light) and slipping. I decided to have AAMCO diagnose & they were able to replace a gear sensor for less than $700! Talk about a savings. The manager "Memo" even gave me an additional military discount & my truck runs great!
Service here was great. They were honest, kind, and communicative. They searched for what could be wrong with my car and made suggestions that were valid and in my best interest. Thanks to the team at AAMCO.
I had my 2016 Jeep Patriot towed there because my CVT transmission went out. Memo explained the the process of what they would need to in order to diagnose to the problem. Once they had transmission apart and found out what needed to rebuilt I was given the full estimate. The repair to a little longer than expected but it was not by fault of theirs the CVT transmission was touchy to reprogram. In the end my Jeep is running great again and the cost was right at what it was suppose to be.
Memo was easy and fun to talk with. I would recommend this business to anyone who wants an honest quote.
Memo was great through the entire process of my car repair, my transmission needed to be rebuilt. Memo kept me in the loop at all times and my car was completed in a timely manner as well. I'm very happy with AAMCO Transmissions and my 98 Acura is running smoothly.
I had the best experience at AAMCO Chula Vista. My vehicle had a transmission cooler line leak and figured it would be down for a couple of weeks. They got me in and out in just half a day and at a great price! I was amazed. I want to give a shout out to Memo. He took care of me like I was family. His honesty, communication, and customer service is 2nd to none. He was clear explaining the diagnosis and recommended repair. I travel back and forth to San Diego regularly and depend on a reliable vehicle when I'm there. I will be taking my vehicle to AAMCO for all servicing. If you are looking for a reliable shop give these guys a call. They will take care of you. Also, ask for Memo!
Thanks, Ed
Memo was helpful and knowledgeable. Inspected my ride thoroughly and most importantly were honest. Didn't try to charge me for stuff I didn't need.
Memo and team helped me out of a pickle when no one else would.
I recently had my transmission rebuilt by a different AAMCO in another state. I paid quite a lot of money and bought the full warranty. The experience was very poor and I wasn't happy with the results, but I didn't have much I could do. After moving to CA shortly after, the transmission began developing problems. I needed to get the vehicle serviced, but other AAMCO's by me weren't interested in servicing another shop's warranty. They didn't flat out say 'no" but no one would take it..
Memo in CV however, took on my case. It took a while to get to the cause of my issue (it was a bad low gear sprag that caused the vehicle to dangerously lose its drive function at low speeds, like when crossing an intersection). And while the other shop should have provided the parts necessary when asked during Memo's warranty work, they didn't, but Memo carried on and eventually got me back up and running so I could take my family to school again.
The work was significant. The warranty covered me 100% and though it took some time to sort out, I didn't have to pay a dime out of pocket which was important to me at the time.
I really appreciate what Memo and team were able to do for me. So far the trans has been running well, and I have peace of mind that my car will continue to be covered for the remainder of my warranty.
Discussed the issues with my Toyota truck. Thought it would cost more than what was priced. Truck drives great. Just have to break in the new clutch.
I highly recommend this business. Memo is friendly, helpful and very transparent. He explained what was wrong with my vehicle and explained my options. I did not feel any pressure and left the shop knowing what I need to do to get my vehicle fixed.
The service was top tier! Memo was incredibly professional, super helpful, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping customers. We were taken care of quickly, informed throughout the whole process and have outright become lifelong customers. We were able to use our Secure One insurance coverage there which saved us thousands (literally). Everyone at AAMCO should be proud of their shop and the workers and technicians running it. When we run into any repairs in the future, they will be our first call.
The Team at AAMCO in Chula Vista got my car expertly serviced in a fraction of the time most shops usually do these days and now I'm enjoying my main daily driver once again worry free. Thanks fellas
After bringing in my first car I decided to have them check out the 2nd. Always got provided everything in perfect details for us non mechanics to understand. Honesty and details. You can't beat that!
Memo and the guys at AAMCO fixed the transmission on my Mazda 3 after the dealer failed to fix it after 2 attempts. Not only did AAMCO fix it but they found the cause of the failure which seemed to elude the "experts" at the dealership.
Had to have my transmission rebuilt. Memo was very helpful and reassuring in answering my questions. The transmission shifts smoothly again. They do great work!
Very pleased, I had ongoing problems with a leaking transmission and coolant. No more leaks the best auto repair shop I've found. Honest and prompt.
First Class facility! I have called this shop 6-8 times and the manager, Memo, has always been amazing with discussing potential problems, scheduling a free estimate, and following through with a breakdown of issues and costs. I was advised against doing a service to focus on a bigger issue BUT will for sure go back even if it's at a higher price to get a better service with people I like! Also, you will be hard pressed to find a cleaner automotive shop anywhere in San Diego. Keep up the good work my friends
AAMCO HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US...never any problems...better prices...Chula Vista our go to place...Meme was very helpful and timely in our car emergency...GREAT GUY...
Great service! Took care of all my cars problems, got it right the first time. No need to go back and forth like other auto mechanic shops. If you want good auto shop, I definitely recommend this one.
Awsome work on my 05 tundra
Memo was very helpful with answering all my questions. The staff was efficient about getting my car back in a timely manner. They also have military discount
This shop is a great place to bring any vehicle, old or new. Their work is thorough, and service time was efficient. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to find a place like this. I do not like dealership maintenance departments. This is the kind of place you can rely on to fix your vehicle problems, or just get a service like an oil change for reasonable prices.
Had my compressor replaced and AC charged in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. Also, great customer service provided by Memo. I recommend getting a quote from this place first.
They Solved the problem and fixed my car as quick as possible.
DID EXCELLENT WORK WILL BE GOING BACK FOR GENERAL REPAIRS SAME LOCATION IN CHULA VISTA.
It was amazing frfr
Great service...above quality of repair..definitely worth it... will tell all my family and friends about AAMCO...keep up the good work guys..... Memo was great he was very professional and kind. Thank you for your hospitality and your awesome service!!!
Very professional and got the job done quick also memo is my guy now... thanks yal
Best customer service. Thank you Memo.
Great customer service
I had my jeep dropped off after braking down and Memo at the shop was a wonderful help, very
welcoming and great customer service.
Highly recommend!!
Great. Done on time, and I was communicated with throughout the process. Thanks
Today, 2/6/23, was my second visit to AMMCO Chula Vista and just like the first time I am a satisfied customer. I went to have some Brembo brakes and Brake pads installed that I had purchased directly from the Brembo Store. I was received by Memo at the front desk and was impressed by not only his professionalism, but good humor. He prepared my quote instantly and the price quoted me was almost one half of what the Buick dealership quoted me. At no time did Memo try to upsell me something I was not interested in.
I made an appointment, brought my car in at 8am today. Memo called me 3 hours later and said the car was finished. Wow !!. He also mentioned that my oil looked a little black and asked if I would like them to change it. Thanks Memo...that was something that I forgot to mention to you in the morning when I brought the car in. Good Catch !!.
Anyway, the work was finished earlier than expected and upon inspecting everything when I arrived home there was no doubt in my mind that the installation was done correctly.
Your shop has earned my trust and I will return.
Had two check engine codes! They diagnosed both and were able to get the work done efficiently. Would definitely recommend! Memo was great!
I was really impressed with the excellent costumer service of your staff. Memo was friendly and trustworthy. The technician was also very good, he gave us the diagnostic and explained what was wrong and what he did to repair the problem. I'll recommend your place at any time.
Hello! I had a great experience, Memmel was extremely helpful and kept us in the loop with everything before he went forward with any changes. To be honest, this is the only shop around here that I've trusted enough to bring my vehicle back multiple times for repairs. The technicians and customer service has done a wonderful job with my Hummer's lift and suspension this week!
I went in for a transmission inspection and your front desk employee Memo was fantastic. Memo was friendly and helpful explaining the process to me and pointed all the 3rd party credit companies that I can qualify for if I need help paying for repairs. All in all I was impressed and look forward to my next visit. Thank you for reaching out for feedback.
Hi Ron-
My experience with your AAMCO was A++++
From the phone call I made & spoke to Memo, to explain my car situation, was just amazing. He was very kind & re-assuring. I researched a-lot of transmission places & all of your reviews were
"awesome"!
So I chose your business.
I got there on time, Memo greeted me, & I waited in your very clean & nice waiting area, supplied with fresh cold water & coffees.
Within the hour, Memo told me what the problem was & I was shocked -I did not need a new
transmission, it was something extremely minor. Wow! I told Memo I would be back & would refer anyone who asked me about car repair to go to your AAMCO.
Memo is also very good over the phones with customers, as I heard him speak to quite a few clients. He is 5 star with clients on the phone or in person!
I come from a 4 generation family business, so I appreciate local businesses.
Thank you for making me feel secure about car repairs, as I am a single 73 yr old woman & I was concerned about a place overcharging me. I will be back.
Guillermo "Memo" Ganir did a wonderful job getting my job fixed. If anyone needs help with their car call Memo
Absolutely fantastic and friendly service. Memo makes you feel like part of the family and instills confidence that they will do the job right every time
Great Customer Service (MEMO) Very friendly and knowledgeable I would highly recommend this Business..
Great communication and explanation of work that needed to be done. Warranty on work is second to none. I have piece of mind that my sons car will not break down due to transmission failure.
Hands down best experience I've had! Even though they were overloaded with work they still got me in and out of there quick, they really took care of me & Memo is THAT GUY!
Great shop to get work done. Fixed my axle seals and added suspension spaces. price os fair.
Theyre awesome memo is the best. The mechanic super great, overall service wonderful.
Thank you Aamco!
Memo the front desk manager has great Customer Service. I took my vehicle to change my headlight and he took me in without any hesitation. I went back to change my engine oil and my transmission fluid and definitely going back to get other work done. I don't have to wait for days to get an appointments like I do at any dealership.
AAMCO, you continue to win my confidence. Had my transmission rebuilt in June 2022 and got my peace of mind back in driving my car. Thank you, Joe, for getting me through that!!! Fast forward to November 2022, I returned to see what the creaking and clanging sounds were. Memo greeted me with his winning smile, called me later with the diagnosis making me feel comfortable in going forward. Ultimately, it was a matter of a couple of hoses. Thank you AAMCO for your technical expertise and for exceeding my expectations once more. A special thank you to Memo for his excellent customer service, stellar professionalism, hospitality and rapport. I appreciate you!
Fair prices and quick work. What else could you ask for.
Excellent Job and Excellent customers service.
Quick and dependable
Literally, couldn't have had a better experience. Memo is a treasure :)
Great experience here. Even with a staff turnover from Joe to Memo, information didn't get dropped and truck got fixed in a timely manner. They had to repair a P0715 code for my 2015 F150. Soon as the part came in, it was fixed in the same day. Memo communicated well and had great customer service. Definitely will go to this place again.
Guillermo Ganir is an outstanding knowledgeable and professional. Great
service and fast turnaround. Thank you
Went in for transmission oil change ammco CV got the right products for my vehicle and did the job quickly..people at ammco CV we're friendly and even called Frank Hyundai to see if there was anything else needed to complete the job right. Made my day.
They were great very helpful and had my car done in a timely manner will definitely be going back
Excellent servce everything was explained and repair was ready at estimated time of completion. New clutch is working very well so far.
I would 100% recommend this company and these people to everyone. Amazing work fast friendly service. So helpful and Very patient.
Professional and down to earth. Took my truck in for a transmission issue. Joe was the man I dealt with and he was great. It is refreshing, in this current world, to find people who have such a realistic understanding of money concerns for thier customers. Auto shops only continue to exist based off referrals and repeat customers. The gentlemen at this shop know that and work to that end. I shall go back for any vehicle issues I have in the future.
My car needed a new clutch and possibly a new flywheel so I called around and the professionals at AAMCO Chula Vista gave me the best quote out of all the other transmission specialists around.
We set up an appointment and they had my car fixed, well tuned and better off than it had been in a long time.
Thank you Joe and the AAMCO team for the spectacular service, I will use them for future car related troubles.
This team are very straightforward and will not try to take advantage of you. Special thanks to Joe for being honest and for taking care of my car. I will definitely recommend this repair shop to anyone. This ship also do free diagnostic unlike other places that will ask for diagnostic fee.
Outstanding service at a fair price!!! The team did a clutch change on my 1994 Jeep YJ. Service was done fast and at a reasonable price. These guys are my new “go to”.
From the first moment I called in, in regard to a vehicle pre-purchase inspection, to our final interaction I noticed how excellent the customer service at this AAMCO location is. They come across as personable, knowledgeable, and genuine.
Pleasant employees even though they were very busy, answered questions with details in a way a non mechanic can easily understand, work was well done and in time
Great service here, I had some transmission issues that no other shop would even dare take a look at as I was told I'd be better off buying another car. I was about to go that route but I brought it to AAMCO and they inspected it and let me know what was wrong completely free of charge. They then communicated with me exactly what the issue was and ended up just needing to get a small part replaced all for around $140 total! Really honest and helpful staff!
Joe and AAMCO Chula Vista are fantastic. They are honest, professional, and on top of that reasonably priced. My AC had stopped working, had contacted multiple repair shops prior, but they all said they didn't have the tools to work with the new refrigerant. Came across AAMCO on yelp, and Joe assured us they could help. Gave us an appointment the same day and had it fixed real quick. I found my new repair shop, will definitely be coming back and recommending to all my family and friends!
Before I begin I don't usually leave reviews but in this case my clutch had took a crap on me & was in some desperate need of a replacement. I had looked AAMCO up online & they had multiple great reviews so I said "What they hey, what's the worst that can happen, if its out of my budget I can look elsewhere." I proceeded to call, & Joe was the one to answer, I had asked the estimate of a clutch replacement & he had told me it depends on the year, make & model. Fair enough, so i agreed. Joe had told me to come @ 11:30am, I later called & said: I wouldn't be able to make that time & had asked if i can come around 3ish. No hesitation (BIG PLUS which i may add) he said yeah that's fine no worries. Once arrived again I was greeted w/ Joe & he was very professional as well kind while asking what I would need. This was on a WED & Joe had said it will be done FRI. Not only did his team get it done on the scheduled time BUT he also got me a better deal! I was already stuck in mind to pay top dollar knowing clutch replacements aren't cheap! I would like to thank Joe & his team for such an easy process NO BS, & straight to the point service! I highly recommend & WILL be coming back for any car issues! Thanks AAMCO you guys ROCK!
Take your VICHELES to no one else Ron @ AAMCO Transmission is your man. Not only does he do Amazing work with amazing prices he truly cares about you/vichele and customer service at its best! He goes above and beyond to make sure your back on the road ASAP and that your vichele has you safe well doing so.
I had to take a emergency road trip driving through 3 of thee hottest states and no AC wasn't happening. I called Ron 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning and even with his day completely booked he said if u can be here in 15mins I can get it in. I was the 1st car in the shop and on my way within a few hrs. My AC has never been so cold.
Thank you Ron
He even took the time out of his day to check on us throughout our journey
Check engine light came on during a road trip. Initial analysis using Blue Driver plug-in showed two transmission error codes. Preliminary AAMCO check determined torque converter problem. Check-in was easy and direct (Joe). Replacement parts took several days. The car runs noticeably better. Will take it on another road trip shortly. Thanks, AAMCO!
AAMCO figured out immediately that my transmission was fine, but my Catalytic converter was shot. My car was repaired quickly and I was made aware of all charges ahead of time. No surprises. Plus I was offered several financing options, which fortunately I did not need, but was a nice possible alternative.
Joe and Ron are great! I came in to fix a problem with my fuel system. They fixed it but a few weeks later there was another problem. I came back in and they repaired it again at no extra cost! I had a great conversation with Joe last time I was here. He's an awesome guy!
Joe and his team were awesome! They explained everything and gave me phenomenal service. I was nervous at first because Id only been to the dealership but this was definitely a great experience.
Prompt and honest experience at AAMCO. Will be a return customer of their services.
Reliable. Prompt. Straight-forward. This team is great. I came in because my car was making noises and check engine light had come on indicating "cylinder misfire." Now, six months ago i had supposedly gotten the exact same issue fixed by a different mechanic and did a "tune up." Since the say i drove out the lot the car was not the same. Noise, screeching sound when AC was on, sometime even when off. Anyway, i ended up wondering wether anything had been fixed at all after paying a large sum of money. I never went back due to mistrust. Well... now that the light came back on i decided to go to the guys at AAMCO. Wonderful decision! Ron was very attentive and responsive while i set up my appointment and Joe was absolutely wonderful when i dropped off the car. He made sure i knew what the issue was and promised to resolve it. Once all was taken care of my car is driving smooth and no more AC noise. Im so grateful for this AAMCO team! They really strive to help you out. I appreciate the help!!! Thank you, Joe!!
I drove my 2008 Jeep Patriot from Arizona to a relatives home in Chula Vista, knowing something regarding transmission needed work since the dash light had intermittently appeared. An assessment was to be done and I would learn by phone what the recommendation would be. Knowing I was working with a short window of working days to get back on the road, Joe found a refurbished transmission and had the old transmission removed. I felt backed into a corner as clear, written agreements were lacking. Ron, the owner became involved and proved the needed taped conversations for clarity. In the end, I believe this business to be fair and ethical. I suggested the experience be used as an opportunity for improved written consent. I also realize I played a part in the confusion and accepted the incident as an opportunity to remember documentation. I was able to return to Arizona and have a good 10 day follow up.
Good, honest shop. My AC stopped working on my truck, but now it feels brand new! Polite and professional. Highly recommend this shop!!
Lots of trust in joe, very knowledgeable about all transmissions, would recommend him and aamco for all car work
Great customer service. Fast, friendly service and my car was done on time. Thank you!
I had the pleasure of interacting w/ Joe. I appreciate his customer service and the overall culture at this place.
I had faith I was being taken care of, especially because of your excellent reviews. Joe answered all my questions to my satisfaction.
And also assured me if I had any questions or concerns, after picking up my car, to call him!
Thank you again!
My truckS transmission left me stranded on Easter Sunday. I called AAMCO the following Monday and they were able to get me in same day, as well as give me the exact problem. Hands down the best shop. I will continue business with AAMCO
Came in friday morning for fuel injector clogs and cat converter replacement due to my car running extremely rough to the point my check engine light was flashing. Ron, ian, and the team were able to complete the job the same day and do amazing repairs. Thanks guys for the great work
I really enjoyed my experience at AAMCO, they provided great customer service; and my car runs great. I strongly recommend coming here for your car problems.
This team is awesome... Joe is a great guy to discuss the work and the process... I strongly recommend these guys...
AAMCO reconstructed the transmission in my car and is running great now. The mechanic explained me very thoroughly the problem with the transmission and I was satisfied with his explanation. AAMCO has very professional staff and the work was done in four days as promised. I highly recommend AAMCO.
Fast and helpful service! I highly recommend for your automotive needs
I have older Tacoma, that needed a handful of things done on it. These guys didn't mess around, got it done fast
Great service from Joe and guys working at AAMCO. Very professional, and give great and honest advice on your vehicle
They get the job done!
Manager Joe is an experienced and knowledgeable guy who fixed my transmission without spending thousands of dollars. He gave me a fair and honest assessment, no BS. I'll be back!
Great place to take your car to get worked on.Staff was friendly and took care of me.Highly recommended and will be back for future car repairs.
Thought I had a clutch problem left the vehicle for repair. They checked it out and found small problem with the rubber flooring. I was charged 0 dollars. I appreciate the honesty of this shop and would highly recommend them and will continue to use them.
Joe and his team were amazing, they had my car in and out. My transmission was served and checked. The price was very fare. From the time I called to dropping my car off I felt my car was going to be in good hands. Thank you all
This place did and amazing job with our vehicle. They made sure I knew what was going on in terms I could understand since I’m not a car person. They also got the repair done in a timely fashion. They truly take care of there customers.
Give 5-Star rating!
Good experience now twice with transmission and now oil change.
I have an Audi Q5. Usually I have to bring it to a specialist. I thought I might have a transmission problem and wanted to try a local place. This Aamco had some Really Good reviews. I figured they should know transmissions even for a German car. Not only did they do a Fantastic job but it wasn’t the transmission…it was the brakes. Much Cheaper!! Customer service was excellent. Everything they said they would do…they did. A complete diagnosis which was extremely thorough. I had the opportunity to talk to Joe for awhile. He Really knows cars and what he’s talking about. He even looked up reviews on some of the parts we were using to see which method was best. …and most economical. Needless to say I was impressed. I don’t plan on taking my car to La Jolla anymore. I’ll just go here.
I have taken two vehicles there for diagnostic and they have solve the problems very quickly with no charge both times
Very honest people !
If I would it take it somewere else they would have charge me a lot just for replacing a fuse from the fuel pump.
Joe went ABOVE & BEYOND with his service to us. We are so happy with our decision to choose this location. Joe did everything he could to get us back on the road as quick as possible and took extra care of our van/home on wheels while it was in their possession. I can highly recommend AAMCO Chula Vista and would definitely go out of my way to take my vehicles back there should I need them in the future. THANK YOU for everything!!!
Our level of service has gone so far above and beyond expectations I could even begin to tell you how lucky we feel to have chosen your location. Joe has been exceptional to work with on an extremely unfortunate situation we have and are continuing to have on our van/home on wheels. Thank you for having such a wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable staff.
My 2013 Chevy truck's transmission broke getting on the freeway. Didn't know who to call about getting it fixed, checked around and talked to Joe Woodard at Aamco. He sounded competent to me, so I decided to go with him. I'm a roofing company, so getting back on the road quickly was very important to me. Joe checked it out, said I needed a complete rebuild. I gave my approval, and had my truck back in 3 days. I had a slight problem with vibration, called Joe about it, brought it in to have it checked. Turned out to be just a slight alignment problem with a clamp, was back on the road in 20 minutes. Truck is working great, no problems at all. In all, the price was fair, with a good warranty, service was excellent, and I am a happy customer and would not hesitate to refer anyone to them.
Great service and great staff
Joe is a good man, straight up and honest, his guys are professional. Did me right. Thanks guys.
I called to see about getting my transmission looked at and financing. Joe was extremely helpful and gave me all my options. I made an appointment and they even covered my tow down there as long as I had my work done there. It was very easy and fast. Unfortunately for me, my transmission was shot. Joe was very helpful with explaining everything to me and helped me finance a rebuilt transmission, and it was done in 2 days. I’m happy to have my car back and running great.
If you use this service, ask for Joe. My experience with him was quick and painless as he honestly explained the issues I had and the solutions for each. Very friendly and enthusiastic attitude. I'll be coming back here for any other problems my car has.
Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend this shop for any transmission work needed for your automobile.
I took my 2012 Jeep Cherokee in for a leak in the transfer casing. I had nothing but great service! Haven't seen any leaks since then. Overall I was impressed by how quick AAMCO was able to complete the job after going through two dealerships and another auto shop prior to. Everything was great!
They were very quick in getting the job done. Vehicle is like new.
Saved me from spending 1,500 more at the dealership. I first called for advice to get a better understanding about my clutch and manual transmission and if letting the dealership add (needed) services to the truck was a bad idea or not. Not only did they tell me it was a horrible idea, but they can do the vehicle inspection and clutch replacement at a flat rate and now my truck feels brand new again. The owner was very honest and very knowledgeable. Definitely the only place i trust for my truck now.
Very courteous and professional. Serviced my car fast and did a great job
Joe was extremely helpful, honest and professional. My car needed a tune up and breaks. My car was done in 24 hours while everywhere else gave me the run around and a longer lead time. We will bring our vehicles here from now on and have reccomended to others. Appreciate the honesty and quick service.
Super awesome team. Joe fixed my brake lights and saved me lots of money. Will definitely be returning for any automotive needs.
A business that will make you come back. Joe had the great communication kept me updated in the eight hour process. My car is floating again. The mechanics wanted to solve the problem. They are trusted mechanics.
They do great work on my car.
Joe is an excellent costumer service, great communication and service on time, my car feels like flying 😆💥💥💥
Great work! Happy with service!
Car had a bad clutch that I had been riding for a while. When I took it into the shop, they were able to diagnose it within an hour even though I didn't have an appointment. I had done my research on what the price for replacing a clutch on my age of vehicle should be, and Ron's quoted price actually came in a little under that. They got it done in a few days and it felt as good as new.
One forgotten thing is that this shop is incredibly convenient since its very close to a 712 bus stop, and only about 1/3 of a mile from the blue line trolley, so getting to and from the auto shop without a car was a lot easier than I have experienced in the past.
Joe and his crew are AWESOME! Never did I feel being taken advantage of. Recently had to replace my radiator replace, Joe was upfront and honest.
Usually a DIY person but when I needed A/C work done on my car I went with the pros. These guys definitely got the job done quick fast and easy... Sorry I came in during lunch time :D
Super courteous and tracked down a hard to find part. Repaired my 2010 jeep and works like a charm!
Great service nice and quick went in for an A/C recharge.
They have good people who work here who don't try to upsell you anything, I will return if my car needs maintenance
Amazing work and super fast.
Fixed what I asked for. Definitely recommend going here any service a car needs.
Joe and his crew did a good job on my car’s transmission. It took a little longer but they made sure the job was done right. The 18-month warranty was the icing to the cake. Keep it up guys!
I own a 2003 Celica GT-S with over 241,000 miles and finally the transmission went out. They arranged a tow truck to pick up I my car, evaluated what was wrong with my transmission and got me back on the road in a week. A very big thanks.
I keep forgetting to post this review. I've never actually left a review for a car care place before, but this place is fantastic. Wonderful, experienced guys. I've always had issues owning a hybrid and finding a mechanic that can do what I need so it was such a breeze to bring my prius over and have everything checked out and repaired all within 2 hours of me dropping it off. Will go to again
I went to get my coolant fixed. The car techs here are legit and know their stuff. They were very friendly and made sure I felt welcome. Definitely coming back!
Highly recommend AAMCO for any auto repairs!! Requested quotes for rear brake pads and rotor replacement for a Dodge Durango and choose AAMCO because they offered the best quote and where extremely accommodating with scheduling.. once the service was complete they even beat the quoted price!!. Will definitely be coming back in the future.
Outstanding service! They were very professional!
I went to AAMCO for a transmission oil change and Joe was the contact person. He is a down to earth person. The work was done when when I returned to the shop. I had my license plate bulbs that needed to be put on. They installed them at no additional charge. Thank You.
AAMCO installed a clutch assembly, I'm very satisfied with the work that was performed on my car!
Joe's the man. Brought my car in for loud screeching noise when AC is turned on, got it fixed the same day. Make sure you schedule an appointment. Thanks Joe!!
Joe is an excellent guy all around, knows his stuff , excellent communicator, and straight shooter. He was also really great at entertaining my son who just turned 11 months today. This audi is my first foreign car and I'm looking to keep it forever. You guys will be my go to far past the foreseeable future. Oil change was quick as was the full vehicle diagnostic. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
I wanted to write AAMCO a review because these days, I don't have a lot of trust in this industry unfortunately. That said, when I feel I've come across an honest, reasonable, and competent car repair shop, I feel compelled to tell others why I was more than satisfied with their customer service and work they completed. Our minivan's A/C wouldn't work when the outside temperature was above 80°, but felt adequate whenever it was under 80°. I spoke to Ron (owner) via Yelp messaging when inquiring for service, Joe (Service Mgr) who booked our appt, and Ian, whom we checked our vehicle in with. All were professional, empathized with our problem & told us they'd get it back in operation. Our A/C was repaired in less than a 1/2 day! It was diagnosed & repaired w/ us only paying for their routine A/C service fee. Our seals in the service ports were 16 yrs old and the cause of a small leak in the closed system, and our Freon refrigerant was at 50% of what it should've been. All in all, we paid the A/C service diagnostic fee minus 10% since I had redeemed my Yelp check-in discount upon dropping off our vehicle. Our A/C is operating like it's brand new again! Great job AAMCO! And here I only thought you worked on transmissions...
It was Great, the place was really busy, but took good care of me. Good prices. Manager Joe at the front office was very knowledgeable, offered me cold water while I waited, and made me feel welcome and like I'm part of the AAMCO Family. Will definitely return for other services in the near future. Thanks again for the Awesome Customer Service !!!!!
The service was great. Joe did a great job of trying to get my truck ready quickly and was good at communicating the issues. My truck runs great now, even though it was in rough shape when I brought it in. Thank you to the whole team. Really appreciate the hard work
My experience with this shop was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs to get things done for their vehicle! Joe was very professional and genuine the entire time I was in contact with him about my car.
This place is good the staff was very helpful and friendly they explained what was going on with my car and got it taken care of in a good amount of time
Got in quickly, they identified the problem and quickly made repairs at a good price.
Very happy with their work.
Excellent service all around! Highly recommended!
Came in with a check engine light, was worried it'd be an expensive issue. Luckily it wasn't bad, I just didn't tighten my spark plugs enough On the positive side, I'm glad to find a trustworthy place to go for future car maintenence instead of trying it myself. Thank you Joe
Very positive experience! Had my BMW 435 break down and brought it to AAMCO as it was a listed under my warranty’s recommended service provider.
It turned out to to be a fuel pump failure in addition to gummed up intake and fuel injectors.
The mechanics were very professional and did everything they could to get my warranty company ( who are very difficult to work with from what I recently learned) to cover the cost of the repair. Ultimately the warranty company didn’t cover the repair, however I really appreciated AAMCO’s efforts regardless!
I’ll be back again next time I have a maintenance issue.
Amazing customer service from Joe Woodward from day 1 that i went to inquire on a quote to repair my air conditioner of my car he makes sure and explained so well what had to be done and really shows all the knowledge he has he shows he loves what he does and really loves helping customers that go in. I had the work done on my car and i can't express how happy I'm so far with the service done and I'm glad i went ahead and decided to do it at your business i will most diffenetly refer family and friends here for any car issues you have amazing work technician and most of all the customer service is amazing you have great employees keep up the amazing job thank you again to John and as well the technician Max
The best thing since light bulbs, crushed ice and polyester pants. Joe and staff were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Pricing was reasonable. Service professional. I will return.
They do way more than transmissions. Very concientious, no high pressure.
Great atmosphere! Open on Saturday's for the full day which is great for weekday worker's!
Came in for a free inspection, left a customer for life. Who knows they did so much?
They got only checked my transmission, they went over my entire drive train. Told me about things I already suspected, but hadn't had time to get looked at.
Rather than give me an estimate out of the air, I was told it would take a while and I'd get it by email.
Very happy with this shop. No pressure. No BS. Just a solid shop.
I had a great experience I dealt with Joe and we had a great conversation but more importantly he got me taken care of in a timely fashion and was able to give get me my car within a few days I'm very happy with the customer service. He gave me a will not exceed number right off the bat which I was able to mentally prepare for the hit it ended up being less. I had a great experience with the shop now it's a matter of how long will it last. But yeah Joe was great five stars from me.
The owner responded quickly to my emails regarding service. My car was fixed as promised. No complaints! Great to have AC running super cold. Just in time for summer.
This April (2021) I traveled to Chula Vista from Phoenix for a visit with my niece.
On day two my car AC started to blow HOT air. This is a problem! My niece found AAMCO and we dropped off the car in the early afternoon.
Joe Woodard explained they'd do their best to figure out what the problem was. They did!
By close of business all was well. The AC issue was explained and fixed.
Professional attitudes, knowledgeable employees and service with a smile. This is how business runs well.
I've been driving cars for decades. I'd never been to an AAMCO before. My experience at this location was
stellar.
Thanks to AAMCO Chula Vista I am a very cool driver:)
I needed my transmission checked out super last minute, and these guys were able to run a diagnostic and pinpoint were my leak was coming from. They saved me a ton of money, when other places either ignored me or just assumed the worse for my transmission. 10/10 coming to this location again.
I took my car to another place that charged me 100 dollars to "diagnose" my check engine light, and then they told me they couldn't fix it. AAMCO diagnosed the problem quickly, with no charge and advised me that they didn't feel any repair was needed at this time. They were professional and had good customer service.
A suspected transmission problem turned out to be something else. The technicians at AAMCO recommended services which resulted in a real change to the feel of the steering, something that another mechanic had overlooked. I will be returning to them in the future.
Joe was great !
I had a wonderful experience, Joe up front was professional and polite and they were done with my car in the time estimated. Thank you!!!
Very professional. Friendly customer service Highly recommend this place.
Had my transmission replaced here. Much better pricing than any dealership. Staff was friendly and turnaround was quick. And they provided warranty on the parts
These guys are awesome! I went to 3 different Transmission shop in town and these guys had, hands down, the best facilities, service and beat the other 2 shops quotes by over 50% less. On top of all of that, they where able to get my parts shipped and in my car by the next day!! Joe, you and your team are rockstars and i want to thank you for all your help!!
I was experiencing a transmission fluid leak. The initial inspection was performed quickly and I received the results a few hours later. The problem was explained to me thoroughly. I was provided a cost estimate that was reasonable considering the amount of labor necessary. The vehicle repair was completed on time and within the cost estimate. Everyone seemed friendly and professional. I had a positive experience at this shop and have no reservations recommending them. I will return for future repairs.
Joe is very friendly and informative. He made me feel very comfortable about getting my car serviced. Definitely will be back in the future.
Joe was my tech, from the start he was extremely friendly and helped me out with all my questions. I was very appreciative of that since it was my first experience. Replacing the transmission usually takes a few days as other shops quoted me however, they got it done in less than 24 hours! Was so happy to get my car in and out! At check out Ian was very friendly and patient with the checkout process and also answered more questions I had. Definitely recommend this place, seriously trustworthy with cars!
Service was great and very friendly. I didn’t have a ride so I stayed in the shop and waited. Joe was very friendly and joked around with my kid. That was nice since I understand most business don’t appreciate you bringing your child to wait a couple hours in their shop and disrupting business. Last minute I asked for an oil change. They were busy but they got it done for me and very quickly too. It seemed like all the customers that came in were return customers because Joe knew everyone by name. I had never been there before but I was greeted in a very friendly professional manner. I couldn’t speak highly of this place. I am very please and I too will be a return client. Thanks to Joe and his team for getting me in and out quickly!
Awesome work on my transmission. Joe is funny and very helpful dude. He's very detailed in explaining exactly what's wrong with your vehicle, no sugar coating and will not make you spend money on things your vehicle doesn't need atm. Will be back again
Great guys very knowledgeable about everything I asked. They are fast and their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended
I was in town for a few weeks working. I was in search for I shop to perform my 30,000 mile maintenance for my Lexus RC 350. What I can say about this fine establishment is, they were reasonably quick and thorough, very friendly and down to earth, and they did not try to up charge me because I drive an "expensive car". I was accurately quoted before I came in and when I left, I ended up paying significantly less than what I would have at the Lexus dealership. It's a glorified Toyota for heaven sake. Thanks guys!!
I reached out to a few different shops on Yelp to get my Mercedes Benz brakes replaced. They were super responsive and honest about the pricing. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up same day, they did a fantastic job choosing performance parts at an affordable price. Definitely recommend them!
It's nice to know that some people still know what good customer service means. They were professional, clear in explaining problem, solved it on time and at a fair price. I will definitely go back. Joe was very helpful.
Wonderful shop. 100% satisfied and will return, if needed for other work. You won't be disappointed!
Very professional and quick service
I highly recommend this business! They are quick to get back to you with your questions and help you set up your appointment. The service was very professional and very quick! Very friendly service and really seem to know what they are doing! I will come back again!
I have a 2014 Ford Mustang GT that I love and they took the best of care with her! My car wasn't idling right, my check engine light came on and my car wasn't performing as it should. I called them and asked if they had any last minute available appointments and they told me to come right in. They we're quick to figure out the problem and quick with their service as well! Last minute appointment and got my car back within a couple hours! The staff was awesome, the service was terrific and I have my car performing even better than before. Definitely going back for anymore future service needed. I highly recommend this team at this AAMCO!
Well if I was rating 1-10, 10 being the best service, I would say joe and the crew were 100. They were communicative, respectful, and made me feel like I was important and my time was taken into account. I will definitely only be doing business with you guys from now with any of my car needs!
Special thanks to Joe though, he is incredible! He really knows what he is doing and I trust his opinion completely.
If you can tell him and the crew, Kaitlynn and Levi are so grateful for their hard work and it does not go unnoticed.
I had AAMCO Transmissions give the car a look over (just bought it) and they provided awesome service. He let me know what he saw wrong with the vehicle and gave me reasonable prices. Above all, they were extremely truthful and trustworthy. Two big thumbs up from me! Thanks AAMCO!
I love bringing my car here! I trust them 100 percent. I'm so picky about who touches my car but this place is the best! I've taken it to ford over and over and had so many problems with their service. Every time I bring my car here I just leave it and they call back asking if I would like my service done without doing it right away and slamming me with a big bill. My transmission was broken and it feels brand new! Thank you guys so much!
Great experience. Joe was an awesome guy that took great care of my car, was super straightforward, didn't try to upsell me on anything, and got me and my car in and out of there in no time. Definitely coming here from now on and encouraging all my family and friends to as well. Thanks Joe and Chula Vista Aamco for the exceptional service!
They rebuilt my transmission and while it was not inexpensive my vehicle is paid off. If I can drive it for 10 more years it is worth it by not having a new car payment.
I had a good experience! Joe did a good job taking care of my car and he made sure everything was done right and at a timely manner. I would highly recommend this business!
One of the best coolest mechanics I have been To in years. He was honest , a nice guy to chat with and fixed what he needed to fast and perfect!!! Will return any time I need car work. Best in Chula Vista.
Perfect is the best way to describe these guys, this place, and the manner in which they handle their business. They have no hidden agenda like so many other mechanics do where they try to sell you useless junk your car doesn't need. Dealership "diagnosed" my truck with a failed torque converter and wanted to charge for a transmission replacement totaling more than 6000 dollars. This awesome group of guys determined that was a lie in about an hour and fixed the actual issue while also providing me with education on component structure and functions to stay away from businesses trying to steal from me. Overall the most incredible experience I have ever had with any mechanic shop anywhere. Will for sure be coming back for anything my car will ever need to this spot and this spot only.
Went in for maintenance on my transmission and an oil change to. Spoke to a gentleman by the name of joe. He said he'll check out the transmission before working on it. Then he'll let me know what exactly needs to be done and he'll call me before doing the work on transmission. Also he'll go ahead and change the oil first. Five stars for customer service, cleanliness of the sho and professionalism.
Come in to AAMCO 11/24/2020 I needed to have my transmission looked at and serviced. While I that going on I might as well have my oil changed too. Joe helped me out and let me know what he found. I authorized them to fix the problems. And a couple days later the job was done. I left a satisfied customer, thanks joe and staff.
Made an appointment over the phone for a CVT transmission fluid change on my Nissan Sentra. They did not sugarcoat the status of my transmission. I went 35,000 past the recommended change interval of 60,000 miles. I paid using my Synchrony credit card. All paperwork was printed and easy process to receive my vehicle back.
I scheduled an appointment with them for a transmission bench rebuild for one of my own customers. Dropped off the transmission and it was rebuilt and they got it done in about a day and a half and the price ended up being just about what they estimated as well. Installed the transmission and test drove the vehicle for a long trip and had zero issues, no leaks, and it shifts smooth in and out of all gears. Joe was very professional and I will be using them in the future!
I had my transmission serviced a few months back-changed my fluid. Justice asked me some questions on why I was getting the service and if there was anything wrong with the transmission. After the service was done, I was contacted by Ron (one of the owners) to make sure everything had gone well. Top notch service!
They are amazing people who know how to get the job done! I appreciate their help so much.
I got my transmission work done and the technicians that worked on my car did an outstanding job. I'm very happy with the work and it's a joy to drive my car once again. I will recommend this shop to all my Friends and Colleagues.
I've been here a few times now. On each occasion, the team here at Aamco was honest and professional about services I needed that other repair shops claimed would cost me hundreds of dollars more. I've saved myself and my wallet money by getting a second opinion here. I'd strongly recommend you give this shop a try for any of your car needs.
Accurate quotes and quick work.
I have been meaning to post this, this review is long over due. My experience was amazing! My check engine light came on, the code said it was a transmission issue. I came to AAMCO with all the stress in the world weighing on my shoulders but Justice helped me out a lot, helping me with the best advice. Asking the technicians what was the best route for me to go. In the end I had to get my transmission replaced. Brooks called me, I told him my situation and he looked up the best quotes for me and got me a great deal and a good warranty. I was approved for financing was able to get my car back and back on the road. I am so happy and appreciate all the help that was given to me. When I got my car back I cried tears of joy on my way home. I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to afford to fix my car. Having 3 kids and work I depend on my car very much. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all your guys help! And thank you for the technicians who put in the hours on my car, it is running great! I will be recommending you guys in the future.
I was pleased with the prompt service I received from AAMCO. I went in for an oil change and multi-point inspection on a 2008 Mustang with less than 40,000 miles. I was happy that the car is in good shape and didn't require any additional services. This AAMCO location is our new place for car care.
The team at Aamco Chula Vista exceeded my expectations. Ian and Ron were wonderful explaining exactly what I needed to get my vehicle back on the road and at reasonable price too.
My customer experience was great. Your team is very professional, good customer service especially on diagnosing my car problem. Car runs great and problem was solved and I'm very satisfied. I would highly recommend your automotive service.
Even though the staff was short one man the service was responsive and polite. Our transmission catastrophe was a Nissan CVT in a 2012 Sentra, that is a problem plagued product that Nissan will not warranty. All quotes equaled the blue book value of the car. Our bad options were buy another car or replace transmission, we chose trans. AAMCO Chula Vista helped to reduce the cost and Ron T conferred with me every day of the Labor Day weekend. 5 star service, thank you.
I finally completed my 500 mile break in for my new Nitro 5.29 re-gear. I brought my rig in for a differential oil change. The staff were professionals and listened to my specific needs. They were able to accommodate me in very fast and efficient even for a Friday. I will be returning for all my transmission needs.
Great place and very professional. Dealing with mechanics and shops is not always fun as you can't pin point which will be the honest ones. I went solely on their reviews and although I am in Lemon Grove I decided to bring my 93 Caprice wagon to get the AC fixed. Communication was great Ron responded to all my questions immediately via yelp message so I said I am in! I was told to speak to Justice the manager and I felt very confident after he explained to me the process. Not only did they fixed my old AC system they also retro fitted it to take the new R134. My wagon was ready the following day and blowing COLD air! Super awesome. Since I have been working on this wagon I never checked the AC system but I knew the blower was not working and it would take some knowledge and time to get it right. I am happy with the outcome and I will be bringing my cars to them from now on. Thank you so much.
I had an appointment to get my transmission fluid changed. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Justice who asked a few questions about my car and why I was doing the fluid change. The work was done in the estimated time given. Great customer service from Justice and the owner Ron. Thank you for your time.
I had a very very wonderful experience at this shop. During the initial setting of the service appointment, and to the very end of my appointment. That is why this shop and the team get (5) five stars.
It started with, Justice, :) setting the appointment, He was very courteous over the phone listing to my concerns about my car.
Justice, suggested an afternoon appointment at 2:00 pm. The service repair was to place the transmission gear ( thingamajig) in its socket.
Ian :) :) The car service technician who checked my car in.
He was professional polite and thorough as He asks questions about my car.
Ian, truly listen to me as a customer. He also answered all of my questions. ( Ian, did the repair(s) on my car. He did an awesome job! )
I left the vehicle and returned at about 3:30 pm. While I was there I got to meet the head of this amazing team, Justice :) :) The customer service manager.
The service is thorough and the work is excellent. This team of experts is professional, welcoming & patient the best customer service I have received in a long time. I will return because of the quality of work & excellent service, I received.
I also recommend to anyone reading this review, if you are in need of auto service to first see Justice & Ian, & the whole team at AAMCO at 1415 Broadway, in Chula Vista, Ca
You are sure to have a great experience from the beginning to the end. My Car (Calvin) is happy too!
Blessing to the team & stay safe.
Hi!! This is Isabel Espinosa.... I had a great customer service experience....since the second I called Justice listened very carefully to my situation. The whole proses went very smooth. The whole experience felt 5 star. No hidden fees..all the explanation was clear as to what was going on with my car and no surprises at the of payment. Thank you very much.
If you want honest Mechanics this is where you go!
They have done motor and transmission mounts on my mom's Van as well as a transmission swap in my old jeep. They are upfront, fast, and easy to work with. We will continue to return with all our family cars.
The guys at AAMCO got me right in an assessed the issue and made quick work of the problem. I would recommend them for any work you need done to your vehicle.
They don't call to give updates all the time but that doesn't matter because the actual service/work being done more than makes up for that. Very professional. Transmission work is pricey no matter where you go but here it's worth the money and it gets taken care of relatively quickly.
I loved my experience, they were friendly and helpful. They addressed my problem N fixed another part, they really did a good job
Very kind front desk associate answered all of my questions professionly. Although I only went in for a car inspection, the service I received would make me come back again if I needed repairs.
I am really impressed with AAMCO. I was recommended AAMCO as a transmission specialist by my general mechanic because he was under the impression I needed a new transmission. I showed up pretty nervous and not totally sure I was ready to put out $3,000 for a new transmission. I spoke primarily to Justice and he explained that they would do a free diagnostic and not being work until they'd discussed it with me. This seems like a pretty standard auto body behavior but I haven't had a mechanic experience this clear cut in years. When they called to inform me of the damage it turned out to be spark plugs so that was probably my one free pass in 2020! Thank you again AAMCO for being reliable and professional!
It's been a great experience having the shop work on my vehicle they are fast they know what they're doing and they're very professional and I felt very taken care of I will definitely be returning to the shop to get more work done on my car thanks Aamco
Hi, Ron I can tell u I had a great experience. Ur tech that worked on my truck did a great job. Also Justice is a very friendly and professional guy. I am a very meticulous on the work that is done to my truck/ baby.. I will continue to get my services done there at ur shop..I think u should give ur guys a pat on the back.. And maybe some lunch.. Thank u Nery Escobar
I brought my truck in for a warranty repair transmission. They did a great job! I will bring my future repairs needed there. Ian did a great job answering my questions. Thanks!
Made my appointment online. (You should allow a business day for confirmation of your appointment.) When I arrived for my appointment the service manager, Justice, listened to my concerns and explained that an initial evaluation of the vehicle would check all of the things I mentioned and more. So we decided to do the initial evaluation and an oil and filter change then talk about what the evaluation turned up. At that point I went away to shop until Justice called to give me a report. About two hours later Justice called to tell me the van was ready to pick up. The mechanic had found and fixed a minor problem in the shift mechanism, but everything else was fine. He did the oil change as requested. The entire visit took about four hours. I felt that Justice was very professional and knowledgeable and the mechanic was efficient. All in all, I was very satisfied with my experience and I will be returning to this AAMCO in the future.
AAMCO of Chula Vista employees are excellent and honest. Ron, Justice, and Ian were upfront with everything. The inspection before they gave me my estimate was very detailed. Great job AMMACO of Chula Vista
I brought my 2004 expedition to the shop for a full tune up and transmission oil change they did a great job, and the guy on reception was a great help I definitely will recommend to this shop very professional see you guys soon
I was really impressed with the service and the speed! I appreciated the free diagnostics which determined the clutch on my truck needed to be replaced. Employees Justice and Ian were friendly without the high pressure sales tactics. The repair was completed in one day and is now running great. I will definitely recommend AAMCO to family and friends! Thanks!!
These guys are so nice and really go out of there way to try to get the lowest price for you. They even will stay late to get your car fixed. I'm really glad I chose to bring my car here.
Hey Ron! I had very satisfactory experience with your team! They did a great job and will definitely be coming back for all my car needs that you guys can help with! Thank you guys so much again!
My husband (Mario Medrano) recently took his Chevy Silverado to this location to have them rebuild his transmission from start to finish, they were great!!! Great communication and great service! Overall, we are happy with their service and would definitely go back if needed! Thank you guys.
They worked very quickly and Justice even came in on his day off to accommodate me to pick up my car! I also used Yelp to find this place and they connected me with Ron who had been super helpful, quick to respond, and answered all my questions. Def recommend this place, great team!
Since I had a positive experience with the business it's hard to find/trust anyone else to fix my car. Thank you for being honest in your service!!
Father's Day came early this year for this Army Vet when my beautiful wife and kids had a Ford Raptor delivered to the house. A dream come true for me, being I first test drove one when it debuted in 2010. Of course, you can't keep a Raptor stock for long (one day in my case) so I needed to find someone to help turn big blue into a Velociraptor. I found a place, and whether you are looking to build a dream car or truck of your own, or your vehicle just needs a little TLC, Give Justice, Ian, and the boys at the AAMCO shop a call, and they will take care of the rest. Ron, Kudos to you sir, the boys at the shop blew away my expectations, the very high quality of customer service experience they deliver is #1 in my book! I found a home for all of my automotive needs. Thank you!!!
Aamco was quick and efficient, no high pressure sales, and their price was good. Will likely bring my vehicle back in the future.
Great job - you guys were able to attend to my car repair (transmission coolant line) same day. Thanks a bunch, Mickey.
Aamco really takes good care of you. Trusted brand!
5 Stars!
Excellent. Great service. Thank you.
The issue I had with my transmission was handled fast and professional with a very skilled mechanic, I would recommend...
Top knot shop very good mechanics have both my car service there in the last few years recommended highly
Lexus GX 470 Great service backed by quality and knowledgeable transmission experts. Back in the road again. Thank you
Great honest service from this garage!
I wish all shops were as honest as you all, I will come back every time.
5 Stars!
Service was simply outstanding. Everything was explained in detail.
Excellent customer service. Thank you Jeff and Ian.
Aamco Chula Vista provides excellent service!!! Thank you Jeff and Ian.
Aamco Chula Vista provides excellent service!!! Thank you Jeff and Ian.
Great customer service. Went above what the they said they would check. Great communication, kept me informed on everything going on.
The experience was excellent, extraordinary customer service by Jeff, everything on time and transparent, I already recommended with my brother. Excellent team.
I recently bought a used car and wanted to get some preventive maintenance done. I messaged a few shops asking for a quote, they were the first to reply within mins with a quote that couldn't be beat. They performed a computer and drivetrain check free of charge, honored my quote, got the job done in a few hours saving me a good amount of $$ and they even offered me a ride home. This shop seemed honest, they have great customer service and my car runs great! I'm definitely coming back for any work I need done, thank you guys.
Extremely great service! Definitely will use this company again. They really ease my problem about my vehicle. They customer service was good and I was treated nicely and professionally. The crew was very accurate and efficient to their work too. I was very much happy when they finished it quickly and my car was in good condition. If you are having problem to your vehicle try this company. Highly recommend!
AAMCO Chula Vista replaced my brakes. They were friendly, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Thanks AAMCO!
Responded right away with quote and had my car in and out quickly. Found and fixed all the problems right away
Very professional and prompt service; I will keep coming back to service my vehicles here. Great job Ian!
The service was fast and friendly. The work was quality and they had helpful suggestions for payment plans, rentals, and very detailed information about all options available.
Jeff was absolutely wonderful and so helpful when helping me fix my coolant leak! He was informative, honest and straightforward with pricing and timing estimates as well as willing to work with my schedule. I will definitely be coming back for all my future maintenance and repairs!
Jeff and the team are honest, fair and fantastic will never repair something that doesnt need it. Nice to have a shop that is honest and does great work.
I had great experience with aamco. Very friendly and straightforward , i didn't feel like they were just trying to get money from me. I was quoted a service price and when i came to pick up they beat quote by 1000$. Transmission feels brand new. Very satisfied!
I really liked the service I received at Aamco. Jeff took the time to research and give me the cost of getting my alternator fixed when shopping for estimates. He was also kind enough to take my car in at the last minute when alternator broke the following day. I had mentioned the previous day that I didn’t want to bring my car in the following day since it was my birthday, but unfortunately I had no choice when my car stopped due to the alternator on the morning of my birthday. However I told him I needed to get my car running again but I needed to have my car back by 1pm cause I had Birthday plans. He told me to bring it in and that he’d have it done by 10:30am. I brought it in to the shop and it was ready by 9:30am. Great customer service from Jeff and his team. I’ll definitely be using their services again and will be recommending their shop.
The staff (Jeff) is exceptionally honest and forthcoming. No deception or hidden agenda at this location. I highly recommend this Aamco location!
I found this shop on Yelp after making calls and comparing rates with other shops in town. I needed to get my rear brakes and a belt replaced. I got a quote over Yelp from the shop and it was more than fair then the competition and they squeezed me in a few days later. After a few hours waiting my vehicle has new brakes and a belt and is running nicely. I saved myself a good amount of money (which Firestone quoted me significantly more and they were the ones who found the issues). This shop seemed honest in the fact they confirmed Firestone's diagnosis and even said I could have held off on the brakes for a bit (I decided to get them done anyway since it was passed the so called safe zone). I'd definitely come back again for any other problems I'd need fixed. They even have a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty for their work.
I love these guys are so honest down-to-earth trustworthy I recommend them highly Ian the mechanic is a great guy
Great customer service by Jeff.
Service was fabulous I was able to walk in and have car done same day. Jeff gave outstanding customer service. Would recommend them to anyone.
Jeff is a really friendly and straightforward guy. I set an appointment the day I made a phone call and they promptly took care of my maintenance request. Definitely coming back for future Transmission Flushes!
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Jeff took care of us and was very professional and upfront. He gave us all our options and they got our car taken care of in the time frame we were quoted.
Honest, efficient and very reasonable prices! I came in with a mystery issue & a car stuck in park. Jeff & his amazing team found the issue, solved it and got me back on the road the next day! They took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions patiently. My new go to place for car maintenance! They've gained a new loyal customer! Thanks again, Jeff & Crew!
Great team! Very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend.
These guys were awesome!
Outstanding customer service! Frank and Ian were very knowledgeable and presented great options on the phone and in person for the clutch service I was looking for. They will definitely be the first folks and auto repair shop I talk to for future work. Clutch being broken in, but all seems working fine right now. Thanks AAMCO Chula Vista!
AAMCO was professional and honest. That is a rare quality now days. Thank you.
Had a great experience with the staff at AAMCO. They were thorough and informative with the process of getting my car worked on.
Been through a number of Auto repair shops, this has been a very welcome change. Aamco has been up front and straight forward with the repairs first to a transmission on one vehicle and a minor repair to another. I think I've found our new Auto repair shop.
Jeff kept me in the loop the whole time while my car was there for tranny work. Great service all the way around.
great customer service and friendly people at this location
Took in my Nissan 370z for an oil change. Jeff was extremely helpful with any questions or concerns I had. I’ll be coming here from now on.
Great local business with excellent customer service.
I originally inquired online about an A/C service and was quoted a fair price. When I went to take it in, they did their best to get my car into the rotation as I had to wait for my car. Jeff and team were good at setting my expectations and provided an estimate at no cost. I wasn't able to complete the service the same day, so I came back the following week once the part came in. Prices were fair to replace an A/C pressure switch and do a recharge. My A/C has been working properly ever since. Thanks guys!
Life it's us with unexpected events that sometime leave us with our backs against the wall. I'm no exception.
These guys checked my vehicle and saw I needed brake service immediately.
Couldn't afford it so I was going to hold off.
Jeff, took care of me. Called and said shop will allow me to make payments. Thanks guys! I will send all my peers to you guys.
Got my transmission rebuilt 4mos ago and my car has been smooth sailing thanks to Aamco.
Ian and the guys, Thanks!
Dan and his crew are amazing. Completely worth the drive to South Bay from North Park. Thanks guys for doing a great job on my brakes. This is a full service auto repair. If they can't do it, there are multiple auto services in the same parking lot.
Dan and his crew worked on my wife's brakes and on my truck. I must say this AAMCO shop knows their stuff. Best service and parts. If you need anything done to your car or truck this is the place. They don't just do transmissions. Do yourself a favor and try them out. Thank you Dan, Ian, Ismael and Jose for taking care of us. See you when I come to get my clutch done.
Very good customer service. Came for oil change they were really professional and fast.
Quicker than expected. Was treated well. Great job!
Made an appointment for early morning after seeing all the great reviews. I had just bought my used Benz and the tranny was definitely acting funny. The last place I took it was a "Benz specialist" and they let me drive it after quoting me a ridiculous amount of money for tranny repair. Little did I know that it barely had any tranny fluid, I was aware of a leaky connector that these cars are notorious for. I came here and was not dissapointed, They flushed it, filled it, replaced the connector & also found a leaky gasket.
Maybe they're not the friendliest of folks (there was some review that had mentioned that) I had a great experience & they are by far the most honest and their price was unbeatable.
I will be taking all my cars here from now on.
I want to say thank you to the guys at AAMCO. I recently had my brakes done on my 96 Toyota Rav4 and they did a great job. These guys really take car of me and I trust them and that is hard to come by . And it is a great feeling knowing my cars are safe to drive.
I have been bringing my cars here since they first opened. I highly recommend them. Dan and his crew are amazing. Thank you for all you do.!!!!!!!
D.Denison
The one stop shop for all your Automotive needs. I highly recommend this place. They took real good care of my car and got it back up and running again better than the way I bought it. I'm super satisfied. All the guys there are great. They genuinely care about their customers... friendly...and honest. Most importantly they know their stuff. I'm definitely going back when I have Automotive issues again. 10 (star)'s if could.
I know enough about cars to do most things, but as a busy family man I don't have time to do my own work anymore. So, I came here I fully expecting for them to attempt to take me to the cleaners and claim that simple maintenance would unreasonably expensive because of something made up, or that everything would take much longer than needed. I talked to Ian. He was honest and straightforward. They fixed everything and they did notice a problem with a break line which I had previously noticed but failed to mention. They only charged me $70 for something everyone else said would be 200 and they had it done quickly! A+ experience
I brought my Audi A4 in for a fee initial diagnostic of what I thought was a transmission problem. They were quick and efficient with the diagnostic and it turned out it was something completely different, but they were able to handle that repair and gave me a good quote. A couple of hours later and it was good to go. It's been driving great since then - thanks guys!
I received a quote for service in a very timely manner! It was detailed and I felt very comfortable taking my vehicle there...without my husband or my dad. I say this because taking my vehicle any place for service gives me anxiety. In the past, I have fell victim to price gouging, and I believe it was because I know nothing about cars and repair-and previous shops can smell that on me. This has honestly been the first place I felt totally comfortable with, but that didn't stop me from forwarding my correspondence with the owner to my husband for a double check and the "go-ahead" for service. When I got there -with my 11 year old son in tow for added testosterone (not much but whatever)- I was helped by a very nice man,(Brandon?)who also provided us a ride home. I also noticed that there were several other customers there with lots of questions. The man that worked there, (Brandon?)was very friendly and thorough with everyone. He was efficient, courteous, and unlike other places I have been to, he didn't seem rushed or like he was rushing customers out the door. I had been taking our vehicles to the same place for the past 6 years and finally got out of my comfort zone and glad we did. This is our new go to place for our vehicles.
These guys really took care of me. I was leaking transmission oil Everywhere. They changed the gasket, filter, general transmission service, towed my car to their place, and gave me an oil change. Customer service was on point. Work performed in a timely manner. Car is running great!
They were great about explaining things and answering questions both on the phone and in person. Mechanics are knowledgeable and courteous as well. Fair prices for great work. Thanks Aamco
I love these guys are so honest down-to-earth trustworthy I recommend them highly Ian the mechanic is a great guy
was having a vibrating noise coming from under my nissan xterra so i took it to AAMCO in Chula Vista and they asked one of their techs to ride with me to check the noise and after had the suv lifted to inspect further without having to make commitment to repair it,and found the problem was 2 bad U-joints on the drive shaft,gave me a quote to fix that seemed very reasonable,they even showed me the problem under the suv and said they would have it ready in 3 hours and i was happy to learn they finished before that and under the quoted price; the whole staff was super friendly and informative;i have finally found the place to take my truck for service instead of Nissan dealer.
Went in to fix a transfer case linkage issue on my Jeep. I brought the parts and asked how much to fix. They gave me a reasonable price and I said ok. Later that day I found out the parts I gave them did not work and they had already spent most of the day with them. The order new parts and the car was ready the next day. I was pleased to see they honored the original labor cost estimate, and even though I paid a bit extra for the parts, the overall experience was excellent. I will continue to come in and have my Jeep service here.
Great service very professional. I do all my maintenance at this place and love it.
My first visit was a few months ago when I came in to get a 2nd opinion on the replacement of my transmission. They quickly got me in and the mechanic wanted to take me on a ride to show me that they found nothing wrong with the transmission. This saved me so much money and I decided to come back for my regular service. I called, got an appointment right away and had my service done. I was very happy with the service and highly recommend this shop.
About 2-3 weeks before Thanksgiving (2017), I noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment of my 2012 Dodge Caravan. I knew it could be one of two things: either a rod bearing knock or an issue with lifters that this particular engine experiences. I called several (close to 10) shops in town for quotes and every single one of them said they couldn't provide me with any info until I came in with the van which I totally get if I wasn't knowledgeable about cars or if I hadn't already received an inspection from an independent mechanic.
In any case, one of the last shops I got in touch with was Aamco. I spoke with Brandon who had seen and heard about the exact issues I described in similar Doge Caravans/Chrysler T&C's and informed me that he was 99% confident that it was indeed one of those two issues and provided me with rough estimates for repairing or replacing the engine.
Long story short, the engine had a rod bearing knock and had to be replaced. Although paying for a replacement engine sucks, Brandon kept me in the loop during the entire process and even helped my family out with a discount on a rental car (since replacing an engine can take some time). Thanks to Brandon and his crew, my family was able to make our out-of-town trip happen over Thanksgiving.
I would highly recommend this shop for any issues you may be having with your car's engine.
These guys are really awesome I definitely appreciated their up front and honest answers to my ietions and concerns. I also felt that I got fair pricing for the major repairs I had accomplished and even though the job to several days longer to complete than expected the price did not change so I was pleased
Brandon and the awesome team at AAMCO has now bailed me out twice! My first experience with them was for an oil change, but on inspection they found that my front sway bar had come loose as well. Definitely not safe to drive around on! They solved the problem quickly and painlessly and I was on my merry way! Now my car is back in after I came out of work to find some sort of mystery fluid leaking out from underneath it... Brandon was my hero again! Even though it was closing time, he talked me through how to get my car to the shop while avoiding damage and now the team is fixing my baby. I seriously wouldn't take my car anywhere else!!!
Brought my Lancer in because the engine was bucking at stops and was idling at close to 3000rpms. Was helped by Ian at the front desk and they quickly found a small piece of plastic lodged in the idle air control valve. Fixed just like that. I will definitely be bringing my car back in the future and highly recommend their services.
Had the clutch on my car go out - I called up Aamco after reading reviews and after talking to Tom I knew I had picked the right place. He took the time to talk me through the process and potential outcomes and options before I even dropped off my car. Once they did examine it, he gave me clear information and straight advice - never did I feel pressured or talked down to like you might get at other places. They did the job well and the price was very fair. I'm definitely coming here first for both my vehicles from now on!
I've found my new repair shop! I had the clutch go out and called up to arrange an inspection. Tom was very friendly, patient and explained everything in a way I could understand without being condescending or high-pressure. I felt like I was the most important/only customer he had, which is pretty rare at repair shops. They did the repair quickly at a fair price and afterwards showed me the parts and talked me through the problem/repair. I'm definitely coming back here for both of my cars.
Went here just to get a quote because my transmission wasn't shifting into gear properly after a botched transmission replacement from a different shop. They took a look at it and actually adjusted it for me and didn't charge me for the adjusting. Thanks Tom. A bunch of great guys over there! I'll definitely be back for any other repairs.
My husbands and my first time here and I immediately felt comfortable and like my car was in good hands. These people have great knowledge and they are honest. You won't get anything done you don't absolutely need. The place is clean and everyone is friendly. Tom was super nice and a little bit of a comedian =) He was also very helpful over the phone when initially setting up the appointment. They took my car out for a test drive and quickly zeroed in on what was causing the sound I came in for. There's a clean comfortable waiting area with a Keurig and a few choices of coffee and real creamer & sugar. Plus a mini fridge with bottled water. Clean private bathroom too. I'll be back with any other auto needs in the future. Thanks guys.
Came to day for service with my Toyota 4runner. The customer service was very professional and fast. This time I did just the oil change but definitely will be back for other upgrades that I want to do to my car special after I saw this beast at the lift.
Very pleased with the service and attention to detail present at this location.
I drive a turbo Subaru which, due to its role as a sports car driven as it should be, requires quite a bit more attention and maintenance than most cars.
I don't have the space or time to do my own work on the car, and have had difficulty finding a shop that won't lie to upsell unnecessary stuff, or didn't have the knowledge or equipment to properly diagnose an issue, or who had broken something while fixing something else and attempted to cover it up, overfilled fluids, stripped lug nuts, or spilled oil all over the engine bay.
I was referred here by a friend who knows how touchy I can be with my car. Not only do they have a tech nerd who loves Subarus and instinctively knew about the specific oil filter needed on these engines, he addressed a couple other concerns I had with the car in a friendly and educational way.
Great experience all around. I'll be bringing my car here from now on.
I was referred to this AAMCO by my brother because of his trust and praise of Dan and Ian. I initially came in last year just to have my CRV checked out and to ensure it's overall safety for my trips to and from oakland. From talking on the phone with Tom, to meeting (and chatting with) Dan, and eventually having my car fixed, it was by far the best experience I've ever had with mechanics. As a female, I am slightly hesitant to deal with car problems or going into shops because of past experiences, but this AAMCO is truly a place of kind and honest people. In a more recent experience here, I brought in my Toyota 4Runner to get checked over and fixed (after buying it used) and they gave me fair prices, didn't try to fix things that didn't need to be fixed, and made suggestions for what to look for and be concerned about in the future. Dan, Ian, and Tom have all helped me feel comfortable taking my car into a shop knowing the work will be done well and won't empty my bank account. They also have a fridge full of cold bottled water in the lobby which is really like the cherry on top. I still think Tom needs some music to listen to while he works. Thanks for everything guys!!
I can't speak highly enough about this shop. I'm from Connecticut, have lived all over being in the military, and proud to say this is the most professional, reasonable, and honest garage I've been to. I've always had older vehicles and would trust Ian to work on anything I've got a problem with. Tom at the desk is always knowledgeable and fair with pricing and the work details. I've been there two separate times now in the past few months and had a great experience each time. I feel fortunate to have finally found a trustworthy auto shop, 100% recommend you bring your vehicle here.
I brought my mother here because she received a Check Engine light indicating a Transmission Failure. We had called 15 minutes before they close for the day but they were nice enough to wait for us.
It was a little hard to locate it at first because it's inside the complex but the office is very new and clean. The staff is friendly as well, they ran a diagnostic test and then they advised us to go to the dealer. The manager gave us the proper information and codes to take to the dealership since the problem was caused by an outstanding recall.
If you are looking for a trustworthy repair place, you should come check this place out. You may pay a little bit more than a mom or pop shop but you are paying for quality service and honest employees.
Exelent service 100% recommend this awesome place they have coffee they call the Audi dealer and they find out there wasrecall in my Audi plus they have free check engine light profesional employee and mecanics this is the first time y fell happy goin to the mechanic :)
I came in today just as preventative measures for a used car I recently purchased. I must say, the place is clean. The service is great, and the staff is honest. I know about cars so I know what to look out for at these places. These guys are straightforward. They didn't find anything too bad on my car and even changed a fuse for free. Jorge (the service manager) is a pleasure to work with. His team is friendly and knowledgeable
Came into AAMCO to get some suspension work done the other day. Was greeted with a big smile and explained what would be fixed, roughly how long, and the price for the job. The quoted price was far better than any other quotes given to me from other local shops which is the main reason I came to this shop. I had my truck back within an hour and was on my way as happy as could be. The professionalism of the staff and the quick quality work coming out from this shop is exceptional and has definitely gained a customer for life! Thanks again guys!
I brought my 2008 Toyota Matrix to Aamco for routine service after many years of using Toyota for service, and I must say I was impressed by the personal level of service shown by Dan and his crew. I was greeted immediately, (no wait), and they spent a lot of time looking over my past records to see what has been done and what may be needed. After a lunch break, my car was ready, and the service was clearly thorough, as a number of needs were attended to, ie... tire rotation, without my calling it to their attention. I feel very confident they checked all the boxes and topped all the fluids and most importantly, the bill was very reasonable. Nice to have personalized service that is so lacking these days. I will be back!
These guys were amazing. Very clean and very professional shop. Everyone treated me with respect and provides vey honest answers and opinions. They fulfilled every service they promised. I needed an entire new transmission and they took care of it promptly and my car runs like its new. I would highly highly recommend using their services.
