In the past, I had my Audi transmission service at AAMCO & Total Car Care, and they did a great job. They are really thorough and they explain in detail what needs to be done. This great experience led me to bring my brothers Toyota Corolla which he was having a problems with his transmission. When he turn on his car and place the gear in D mode, car would jerk and accelerate. AAMCO Transmission & Total Car Care did a thorough diagnostic test and replace the external pressure switch CVT Trans. After replacing this part, AAMCO kept checking to see if any code would appear, but it didnt. So far the car is running great, and they were honest about their work.
AAMCO in Santa Clarita has been an excellent place to have our cars serviced. Mark and Harrison are always courteous, prompt, and professional. We have had multiple cars serviced by them and the work has been outstanding. We appreciate their work.
Mark and his staff replaced my brakes on my work truck recently. Everytime i bring a vehicle in, I know that I’ll pick it up ready to go back Into service. Thanks!
Very honest, trustworthy people. 1st time there recently, with some trans slipping issues, and expected a full rebuild quote. Rather, they took the time to explain the pros/cons of a rebuild and based on the specific issues with our vehicle and the age, they recommended to keep driving it rather than spend a whole lot of dollars on something that might not be worth it. They have earned my trust and future business!
I had them do a complete check up on our vehicle ! I felt that they gave me a thorough report of what needed to be done and what didnt! They took thetook the time to show me what and why the things that needed to be fixed. I felt and am quite satisfied with everything that was done at a good price. In other words I am very Happy wjth My experience there.
If youre looking for a thorough assessment, a thoughtful description of whats going on with your vehicle, and a frank discussion of repair options, this is the place to go. Its probably not the cheapest or quickest, but my grandchildren are precious passengers to me and after a couple of rushed assessments by others, I was impressed with the care they took with my older Dodge and the time they invested in providing me options. In the long run, the repairs saved me money. Their experience, professionalism, warranty, and friendliness here make an unbeatable business combo.
I recommend Aamco because they are honest and professional. Over 20+ years of taking my vehicles there and wouldnt go anywhere else.
I have had a difficult time finding a honest competent mechanic. I have recently found AMCO Santa Clarita. They know cars and seem to know how to maintain or repair my 4 cars. They have earned my business. I wish they werent so expensive though.
My car is now 16 years old and though I am now retired and dont drive as often as I used to, I am 30 miles from family and need to maintain a reliable vehicle.A few weeks ago my check engine and T/C warnings started coming on a lot so I took it to AAMCO and they diagnosed the issues and repaired them in the estimated time frame and under the cost estimate. My car is operating more smoothly so I am very pleased.
Fantastic customer service! They diagnosed an issue, but then called me promptly to tell me they could not do the work (specialized vehicle).Multiple points for honesty! Multiple Points for polite and prompt communications. I felt bad they could not get the business because they were so nice! Harrison and Mark are the best!
Had my 02’ WRX Impreza in for a Clutch change, new shifter linkage/bearings and shifter. Mark, Harrison and mark I believe had supplied me info throughout the whole ordeal. I thank them for the hard work and dedication to getting my car back on the road. Mark even sat with me and explained every single thing he had seen throughout the whole car and said if any problems reoccur to immediately come back. Thank you again!
Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me pinpoint some underlying issues with my older vehicle. Really satisfied customer. A+++++
Not included in list, just had radiator replaced! I trust them but hope nothing else breaks on my car :)
The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They kept me informed of everything they did in a very timely manner. No pressure at all for services I did not need. Highly recommend.
Mark and Harrison were really amazing. I went in thinking my transmission was bad from what a previous mechanic had said. I was looking at about 4,000 to fix. I took my car with Mark to get a diagnostic and turns out my transmission was perfectly fine it just had some other minor issues that werent as costly. I ended paying 1,400 with some extra work i asked for. It was such a relief and i saved money on something that i thought was broken. They were both kind and explained everything that they fixed. My car is running perfect and i couldnt be happier, will definitely recommend.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Car was ready within estimated time frame and under the estimated amount.
The team was knowledgeable and really helped me understand what was going on with my car and the options I had to repair it.Theyre straight forward and honest.
Great experience here. Needed some service on my vehicle just before a camping trip. Mark was able to get me fixed up and ready to go on short notice. As well, Harrison provided me with other recommendations that I certainly will be back for.Excellent work, service and thank to Mark and his team.
The shifter cable broke and Mark and his team fixed it for me. Great speedy work done. 👍👍👍
They diagnosed my truck, made me informed of the issues, they were very knowledgeable, and showed me the parts they removed, I probably should have what would be a good preventive if any for my preocular problem. water in the cylinders
Very helpful and good customer service,
Not all of what I was expecting bit the salesman Harrison was very informative and knowledgeable. I appreciate his time
-THEY SAVED MY TRIP.-THEY DIDNT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANOUT-OF—TOWNER.My car died just over the grapevine.It would move.It was a giant paperweight.I had it towed to these guys, and within a day they found the problem, fix the problem and got me on my way.If your vehicle dies on the Los Angeles side of the grapevine, you’d be a fool not to take it to these caring mechanics.
Had my oil changed and new brake pads put on the other day. Mark and the staff were extremely helpful and honest about what they were doing and what parts were used. I will always come here for my automotive needs.
I first went to this shop on a reconnoitering mission as I needed some work done on my transmission on a car that I just bought. As a former mechanic, I am critical of what goes on in a shop that I am to have my own vehicle worked on . Things need to be right . This shop really measured up! From the moment I went there and observed the management crew and working crew I knew immediately that this would be a shop that I would bring my personal vehicle to many times both now and in the future as needed. Both the employees and the management team headed by Mark were first-rate! I could not recommend them more highly to anybody looking to have work done on their vehicle nor a better place to get it done at.
5 star service! After reading all the positive reviews I had to check them out. Excellent customer service, everyone professional and friendly. Mark and his crew are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. 😊
Had to tow my Ford Fusion In for a new water pump and the folks at AAMCO Santa Clarita made the entire process easy. The car was repaired quickly at the price I was expecting. I have been taking all of my cars here for years and will continue to do so. Thank you Aamco Santa Clarita.
As far as Aamco they are great. They did what was their part. Once we had an agreementwith the warranty they fixed my vehicle and am very satisfied.
I would highly recommend this Aamco. They did a great job on my daughters car replacing the transmission. Mark and Harrison are both true professionals and treated me great. I will be back for regular servicing on the vehicle. Thank you
These guys are 100% honest and a pleasure to work with. Top notch service
Mark was very helpful in choosing the option that fit my needs and my budget. I did my research before choosing this place and they were a couple hundred dollars cheaper with the same warranty as the other places. They never pushed any additional services apart from what we agreed on, but they did a thourough inspection of the vehicle and advised me on a few minor problems which I can take care of myself. The job was done as promised and on time.
Ive been taking my cars to Mark @ AAMCO for years and wouldnt go to or trust anyone else. The entire staff is accommodating and honest. They know what they are doing and they do it correctly and not at my expense.
Took my truck in recently to get work done on my clutch Max in the front was was super cool and friendly. Mark the owner was also very welcoming. There were a couple of snags along the way due to my truck being old but these guys were upfront and honest right away and did the best they could to give exceptional service and get my truck into amazing shape. It is hard to trust shops these days and I think most people go in to mechanic shops on gaurd but there is no need here. These guys will take care of you and only do what is necessary to ensure your car is safe and in amazing shape. Awesome job guys.
Great service, car was not held hostage as has been past experience with other places.Very upfront and honest about what my car needed, and its still working great.Will use them again.
Called today because I was concerned I would have to flush my transmission over use of Mercon V vs Mercon in my ford truck. I know I have been running it with some Mercon V in it but noticed the Ford manual said Mercon only. So I panicked... needless to say, when I called, I spoke with Mark who told me that this specification by ford has been relaxed since the time the manual was published/the truck was manufactured. Told me I was fine to continue with my fluid change and not to worry, I did not need a flush.These guys could have easily told me to come in and do a flush when it wasn’t necessary and I would have, but they didn’t and I tell you, that is the true honesty you want to find in a mechanic. They talked me through the details and really gave me a solid answer that didn’t cost me a dime.Really appreciate the solid answer and honesty from these guys and would highly recommend!
I highly recommend you take your vehicle here. Nowhere treats a car like they do at this Aamco. With the utmost care and always great on time. I brought my vehicle in for an oil change because i heard it is such a reputable location. The service was amazing! No problems whatsoever. i will continue to bring my car here for the years to come!
$400 for a diagnostic test to tell me what i already knew. First, I took my car to a mechanic and they told me that the transmission needed replacing and wasnt worth the repair fees. I wanted to get a second opinion before moving on so I took it here to AAMCO and explained my situation. After they suggested 3 hours of labor to thoughly check it, they concluded that it was as the other mechanic had said. Also, since picking it back up and driving back, my driving quality decreased significantly. My entire car is vibrating and making abnormal noises that it was not doing when I dropped it off. It seems that extra labor with a heavy price tag was advocated for when it should not have been. I should have stuck with the first mechanics recommendation for $60 instead.
These guys are the best! Mark and his team have always treated me fairly. They explain car concepts so this non-techie can understand them. Im glad to have car friends like them. Theyre my favorites, and theyll be yours too!
3 years ago I posted the below review, today I still feel the same way!:I recently moved to the area from NJ and have been dreading finding a new mechanic guy to go to. After some research, Im incredibly glad I walked into Marks establishment. Him and his team were nothing but professional, personable, enthusiastic, and helpful. It was awesome to find a guy that seems to enjoy his work the way he does, and has such a passion for it. I definitely will be going back to Mikes shop every time I need car care.
Personable and thorough
Great experience. The technicians are very experienced, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to talk with.I would recommend them for all my car care needs.
Mark and the AAMCO crew have taken care of all my cars for ages. Honest, professional, locally owned. Quality work.
Thanks Aamco! once again an extraordinary effort to fix a vexing problem AND save me money at the same time. Thanks AgainDel Jacoby
Mark and his team replaced the shocks on my wifes mini van, she says its like driving a new car again and Im happy because they saved me a $1000.00 from the quote from the dealer.Thank you!
My brother referred me to this AAMCO because they do such a great job! Their prices are fare and the service is great! Mark is a really nice guy and takes his time to explain everything! He even called me at home to let me know what they found and what needed to be done to correct the problem. When I picked my truck up, Mark informed me of a few other things that I need to have done as soon as I could. They are very understanding of finances as well. I really like these guys and will continue to refer them! An honest mechanic is hard to find these days so I am happy I found them!
These guys saved my vacation. Traveling from LA to Sacramento, I was towed in at 3:00 pm on a Friday (yesterday) and they really had me over a barrel. They not only were not only fair, but they showed me everything they were doing and fully explained the entire repair. Its a father/son operation that works really well together with techs that seem to care. Nice job guys! Thank you!
Front desk very helpful and nice . Very professional and friendly
Nice, thorough, work was completed in the time stated. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely recomend.
VERY HELFULL.
$80 oil change and the guy leaves his dirty mask, and other garbage. Also, he did not reset the maintenance required light.
As usual, Mark and team do great work for a fair price. I recommend them without hesitation!
First time using this shop... overall were pleased with experience, service and cost. Customer service was great and thorough. Initially we came to them as the second opinion option- glad we did! Well use them again.
I want to thank the crew at the AAMCO in Santa Clarita. I was on my way to Phoenix and my transmission started smoking. I went directly to AAMCO in Santa Clarita and they took care of the problem quickly for me and did not take advantage of me and the situation I was in. Its nice to know there are still a professional group of people in the auto repair business that look out for the customer first. Thanks again for taking care of me so quickly. Greg
Although my car was not fixable, the courtesy and kind assistance received by Mark and Harrison was very much appreciated. They answered all my questions as best as possible
I had a transmission replaced at this shop. The service was fast and courteous. The repairs were sound and performed in a professional manner with a good warranty and fair price. They make you feel right at home and are transparent with you on your vehicle and your repair options.
Mark, Harrison and Max were very, very helpful. We had an issue with our car while we were out of town and Harrison kept us up to date every day.
Disaster turned into joy! The service was outstanding. Very grateful to be back on the road within a couple of hours.
Always professional and below the dealership prices. Happy to explain any car issues. Very knowledgeable staff
AAMCO has a very professional, friendly, knowledgeable staff. They fixed our trucks transmission and we have had absolutely no problems with it. Thanks AAMCO!!!
I thank Jehovah thru Christ for the AAMCO in Santa Clarita, CA. After my car stopped in the grapevine (a super fast, hilly path) going to Northern California where lots of 18 wheelers travel, I was devastated. I pulled over near a yellow call box ( its volume was so low, I repeatedly asked the operator for location info).Another car stopped 100 yards behind mine. My car hood was up and I noticed to two young white brothers hood was up. I walked toward them and they toward me. We both had serious car problems. One bro.walked back to my car, he checked it out and said it was my transmission. He smelled the burned oil and saw the transmission oil on the ground. I called the AAAMCO Shop that had just put the replaced transmission in my car. He listened, then advised me to let my car cool off. Afterward, drive it off the grapevine. He located an AAMCO 30 miles from me and suggested to see if I could drive it there.. I optioned to wait for the tow driver, who AAA said they knew the area.Luckily, I have AAA, but only for 7 miles ( with 4 call services). Luckily, the tow driver knew of the Santa Clarita AAMCO which was 17 miles from me.. Also, since my protectors didnt have AAA, I called a tow for their car as well. I was towed 10 miles backwards to a secured location and I called Santa Clarita AAMCO who gave me directions and were waiting for my arrival as I drove slowly, since my car had cooled.Once arriving at Santa Clarita AAMCO, I was greeted warmly, which was a relief. They quickly took me in to get all details of what I experienced with the car. Harrison was very comforting and patient. He explained all details for checking out the car and confirmed theres no charge for cars under AAMCO Warranty.They were about to close and I was given the option to leave my car or bring it back early next day. The next day my car was checked in right away by Mark. He did a sight visual, then he drove it. Upon return he told me of specific problems right away. Then I waited near my car as he checked under the hood and under the car much closer. By the time Mark had finished I had learned quite a bit about the problem and what had to be done. In the meantime, he called the previous AAMCO to discuss the options and warranty. They first discussed finding another transmission, but later decided the previous AAMCO would tow my car back to them to repair.Marks knowledge of transmissions was phenomenal and he made it clear for me to understand by showing me the parts that were affected.I thank the Santa Clarita AAMCO for doing a thoroughcheck of my transmission and parts that it affected. Like it overheated a part in my speedometer, which had to be replaced.My car is back on the road, with an extended warranty.
I went in because my check engine light was on. Chose this shop, even with 2 Aamcos closer to my house, because of the ratings. All were spot on. Turns out I had four codes. Helped me out twice now. Will absolutely return if I need more work done. Will be heading back to have my AC done. I have a slow leak, and they had to order a hose. These guys are the best.
Fast and Friendly service. Knowledgeable and professional staff.
Ive taken my car and truck to this place for various reasons including transmission overhauls. Every time, the work has been completed on time. On one occasion, I needed to take the car back but they made it right no fuss no muss. The front office people are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for just about any kind of repair. They dont just do transmissions. You might have heard AAMCOs ads about checking the engine trouble codes for free, well I know that is true.
The owner sounded nice but that was it. Over all experience wasnt anything that I would expect from a professional shop with a hefty $1,600+ tag. Delivery schedule and customer service were unprofessional. This experience made dealer visit look very appealing. I really wish I can give them better review but my experience was very unpleasant.
Mark and his team at Aamco were very accommodating and informative. Their level of professionalism and expertise are at the highest levels. Additionally, they were able to give me a number of options and helped me weigh the benefits and drawbacks to each option. Excellent. Highly recommended.
I really appreciate Mark and his team. They quickly diagnosed my issues with broken motor mounts and replaced all four within 1 business day. Fantastic customer service!
Great people, great service! No secrets, straight out info about your issues and you leave knowing more about your auto. Thanks bunches!
Mark the owner goes above and beyond to get the job done right and for the least cost possible. Very honest and ethical group of professionals
Took my car in for a new battery and full service check-up that Id been putting off. Mark and his team did a thorough check of my car from front to back, top to bottom, and then called me with recommendations. Mark explained everything and gave me options so I felt I was in control. Great work and great service-- Aamco is now my full service auto shop.
Went to this AAMCO for an oil change and tire rotation. Customer service was excellent. Mark showed me how my rear shock was blown, but did not pressure me into replacing it then and there. He explained to me the importance of car maintenance and how it can not only save me money, but prolong the life of my car.
Awesome customer service! Very friendly and informative. Fast service and left 100% satisfied.
What a great experience I had at Aamco, they took care of all my auto issues not just the transmission.GREAT JOB, I will be back.
Quality professional service from the staff. Will definitely return in the future.
I came in because my engine light went on. I didnt know what the problem could be and I didnt have a mechanic that I trusted. I brought it in to Mark. He immediately diagnosed the problem (oxygen sensor) but more importantly, he explained what the part does, showed me how much it cost to replace and allowed me to make a choice on which brand I wanted. I liked the explanations. He had the car done on time, the price was what he quoted and the light is off.My brakes need to be fixed. I will take them them to Aamco with every confidence that they will be done right, and on time. I feel confident and trust in Aamco.
Mark and Keith have been very upfront with us on the service needed for our van over the past few years, including the final bit of advice: get rid of it. May sound funny, but the advice was very much appreciated. We are very satisfied with the expertise of our local AAMCO, and are happy to recommend them to others.
Mark always does a great job diagnosing problems that come up with my car from time to time, and is always professional, fair, and honest. I have been using his services for maintenance and repair for many years and would go no where else! His experience and knowledge is amazing. Bottom line - he cares about his customers and the service he provides to all of them!
Great service and very trustworthy. I received a quote for a repair cost of $2,000 and the actual cost was $500 LESS!! 🙏🏽 This place is awesome 😎
Took a used car I recently bought in and they took care of me. Mark tells you how it is and doesnt give you any If and or buts. My car was in and out of there in a day. From now on I plan on going here for any of my car troubles/repairs. I would highly recommend this place to a friend. Amazing service.
The team at AAMCO genuinely cares about their customers. Great experience!
These guys were great. They totally fit us in before New Years Day and even stated late to get us out and back on the road. They replaced the rear brakes on our motorhome, which is a job that not every shop is up for. They were very communicative and were trustworthy. Thanks for getting us back on the road!
Mark did a great job fixing my 2010 Vibe suspension problem. Instead of dropping the whole rear assembly he figured out a way to weld a head on a sheared bolt saving me hundreds of dollars. I would highly recommend this AAMCO, I have used them several times and feel they do good honest work at a fair price, pretty hard to find these days.
First I would like to say PLEASE do not waste your time or money going to this place. This was my 1st and and last time going here and I will never recommend them to anyone. I had an issue with my AC, it was coming on but not blowing cold air. I knew it had freon in it. I just couldnt figure out why it was blowing, but no cold air coming out. I also wanted them to check the blower because it sounded a little loud, as well one of my break lights. I called and was told by Mark it would cost $130 to check and see what the issue was. So I came down to the shop. I filled out the paper work which gives you the option to circle inspection or repair. I circled all 3 (A/C, Blower, Break Light) as INSPECTION because I knew I was not ready at the time to pay for any repairs and just wanted to know what needed to be fixed. I never gave them a time frame on when I needed my car back. I dropped my car off for 3 hours and heard nothing from them during this time. When I called the guy could not tell me over the phone what was wrong. He had to ask Mark. So I came back to pick up my car and find out what the issue was. Come to find out they fixed 2 out of the 3 things which was paper in the blower and a break lamp bulb WITHOUT my permission or even giving me a courtesy call to tell me so I could make a descision for myself on whether I wanted them to fix it or not. They also charged me for it!!! Keep in mind I circled inspection from the beginning. They charged me $68 for taking out some paper from the blower. Which is ridiculous and $28 for a light I could of done myself for less than $5. Now as far as the AC is concerned after 3 hours they didnt even have an answer for me and said they needed more time. You mean to tell me 3 hours isnt enough??? Then they had the nerve to state in the notes that they needed more time than what customer had. Once again, I never gave them a time frame. At this point I was internally angry and my brain was on fire. I just wanted to pay and get out of there. Mark is a fast talker and talks too much and about tons of irrelevant things. I will never come back there. I ended up going to SC Air and paid only $60 for an INSPECTION and they told me it was for sure my compressor in less than 2 hours. My Stepfather told me to take it to Country Auto and see Adam since he had got some work done there on his car just a week prior. Adam let me know it was the compressor as well in 1 hour. He picked up the part from bmw and fixed my AC in less than 24 hours plus fan belt. I droped it off in the afternoon and it was ready next morning by 8am. I felt scammed going to Ammco and also noticed Mark responds to all his bad reviews in exactly the same manner. Cut and paste generic respone.
These guys are very knowledgeable. They really worked with me to get the problem fixed at a fair price. I am taking my other car there for service as well.
What can I say, Aamco made my day. Yup cheesy but it’s true. Brought in my 2017 Jeep, (not even 2 yrs old) because it was miss-firing. Its such a new car that it is not as simple as it use to be... but anywho... with the unknown and a possible 200 to 300 dollar estimate just for the diagnostic testing, left it there because my BF has been going there for a few yrs now and they have great reviews.Got a call back in about 2hrs with what was wrong with it. Cylinder 4 needs to be changed n a reset needs to be done and no charge!!!! He said it should still be covered under the dealer warranty so I should take it to them... They offered to do the work for a couple of hundred by why charge me if I can take it to the dealership for free they said. Max was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was wrong with it, that I couldn’t be more grateful. He also provided me with the paperwork to give to the dealership. Honest auto-shops still exist. However not looking forward to the dealership. If you ain’t buying, you’re just a nuisance to them.Thank you Aamco and Max!!!!
Mark and his team are excellent at what they do which is taking great care of your car! I trust them to do the best work always. Take your car there too!
I have an old panel truck and brought truck to them because of a bad leak and tired of cleaning oil stains off driveway. They were courteous, helpful, professional, and would recommend this shop to all in the valley. Thanks guys, so far....no leaks
Mark is honest and his prices are very fair. He replaced a computer on my 2006 Jeep after the Chrysler dealership in Valencia said I needed a new transmission! Havent had a problem since. I took my husbands Audi in for brakes and a minor tune-up that would have been exorbitant at a dealership. Mark has earned my business for life!
Trusworrhy,reliable and fast service.
Excellent service.Mark is the most honest amd patient mechanic Ive come across.He was well versed on what was to be done.He even encouraged me to find my own transfer case to save money.I saved about $800 doing it myself.Will return with all car problems. Great staff and very friendly.it would be nice if they did trannys like the old days.
AAMCO of Santa Clarita always has quality service and get the job done quickly and well. The manager is very friendly and makes the experience as enjoyable as possible. I have gone to this AAMCO for some time now and will undoubtedly continue to take my business to them.
Have been taking my cars here for at least 15 years. Excellent service.
Im not gonna lie, I was nervous to do business with AAMCO after CarMax referred me to them. But my experience with this AAMCO has been great. Its never fun when your transmission goes out and its hard enough for me to trust mechanics after being screwed by some faulty ones in the past. Keith was awesome, he was very honest and kept his word of what my charges would be. He was very knowledgeable with the process of dealing with the extended warranty I had through CarMax. Mark, the owner, is also a very honest guy and super friendly. I went back a different time for a 2 week check up on my transmission. I was concerned about my brakes screeching so Mark took a look for me and let me know that my brake pads were still plenty and changing them now would be a waste of money. They couldve easily told me my brakes were worn out and I needed to change it right away, but both Mark and Keith were very honest and helpful. I also got an oil change done with AAMCO and plan on returning for my next one.
Very great people work here. They are patient and understanding and I wait to work with you to get the job done right.
Best customer service.. honest and thorough!
I take my two Ford Explorers to AAMCO to have them serviced. Mark is very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.
Replaced both from axle ujoints and did my brakes. Good service fair price.
Marks been working on my 300M and my Montero Sport. Having built racing sports cars and various motorcycles I can tell you they know their stuff. I hate working on my own stuff.5 stars
I would agree with most other reviews that they are professional. However I would look around and get other opinions on your car. They told me my head gasket was broken and it would be 2500 to 3000$ to repair. I told them Im gonna try blue devil head gasket repair sealant and Max the receptionist got defensive and strongly discouraged me doing otherwise. I felt like they were suggesting they are the only solution to my problem. Well I ended up trying out the blue devil repair and it actually worked a miracle on my honda civic. For 100$ I got my cracked head gasket sealed and saved me a new car. Just my opinion, dont jump the gun and spend the ridiculous amount of money. Google your cars problem because chances are someone out there has found a cheaper fix that will work and save you money.
When Toyota insisted i needed to do 4000 dollars worth of repair work to fix a blown head gasket, AAMCO took the time to troubleshoot the issue and replace the spark plugs which fixed the issue. They even took time and effort to investigate the claim of a bad gasket by checking the oil and exhaust for coolant so they could give me a recommendation based on empirical data vs Toyotas incompetence and greed.
Great guys they get my transaction program
