Aamco Transmissions and Total Car Care

I can’t say enough about the great experience I had at the Aamco shop on Van Buren. They replaced an clutch for me on my Subaru. The car has 100,000 miles on it but was in excellent condition otherwise. They did the work at an extremely reasonable price, in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. They kept me in the loop as to what was going on. I feel this is one of the best, if not the best, repair shop in town. Its also really handy if you work in the downtown area. You can drop your car off in the AM on the way to work and pick it up on the way home.

Finally an honest repair shop! Both my boyfriend and I brought our cars in for a second opinion on seperate issues we were having and Mike assured us we didn’t need to make the repairs we were told. He is very helpful and clearly not out to rip you off. The location is out of my way, but I will happily make the drive to have trustworthy people work on my car! They have all my business from now on.

I was disappointed and let-​down by the customer service, and the workmanship that this shop displayed. I came in to have my AC repaired and was taken back by the impersonal owners rapport and his over priced estimate of $ 1200 to have my AC on my 2003 Honda Accord repaired.
After negotiating with them a bit I was able to get the price lowered to a slightly more reasonable rate. However, during the repair they broke another part of my car and treated it as if it were no big deal. The shop had to keep my car for additional two days, and put finding a rental car on me.
After deciding to essentially hitchhike to get to a business conference I had scheduled during the additional time they had my car, I decided to request that I be compensated for the inconvenience instead of actually spending the time and money upfront to get a rental car.
Of course, the shop didn’t offer any compensation and actually increased the cost of the negotiated repair due to «unforeseen expenses» and did so in a condescending manner. After discussing my side with them fruitlessly, I was so relieved to have reclaimed my car with the fixed air conditioning system that costed over $ 1000 to repair, only to have it stop working within two weeks. When I took my car back into to have them make good on the satisfactory work guarantee — they claimed something else had caused the AC to stop working and quoted me at another $ 700 repair cost.
I must urge anybody considering using this AAMCO to find another shop that values its customers and workmanship so that you get what you pay for and are treated with the respect you deserve as a customer.

I loved this place. I have only been to one other auto shop here in AZ and this place really impressed me. The owner Corey is extremely personable, knowledgable, and went out of his way to help m out with my beater car this morning. I scheduled a maintenance oil change this morning but also mentioned to him that I’d been having some problems with my brakes. I told him depending on the price I wasn’t sure what I would be able to pay for today. He assured me he could help me out in anyway possible even if financing was involved. Not my favorite thing to do BUT I know I needed at least one new set of brakes, brake pads, and a roader for the front passenger side of my car. He gave me a great deal. With my oil change and brake/​brake pad and roader change it was $ 231 after tax. That is the cheapest quote I’ve received from anywhere else so I gladly paid it in full.
I don’t plan on keeping my current car too much longer and I also plan on trading it in. He told me when I plan on trading it in to bring it into him and he can help me come up with a budget to fix it up first. I dropped my car off at 830 and it was done a little before 1030am. Not too shabby! I’ll definitely be going back there.

If you visit Aamco at the Van Buren St. location, ask for Corey. Very knowledgeable and personable. If you have transmission problems this is the guy to go see!
