errible, awful, horrible place full of dishonest untrustworthy people to be avoided at all costs.
The Aamco store located at 6629 Lomas Boulevard Northeast, Albuquerque NM Lomas Street in Albuquerque NM 87110 had my classic Ford with a four-speed manual for literally 3 months attempting to repair a leak in a recently rebuilt transmission which was installed at the Aamco store at 68680 Ramon Rd.
in Cathedral City, Ca 92234.
Despite being given literally thousands of dollars to completely rebuild the transmission, clutch and U-joints, neither the Albuquerque store, nor the California store ever fixed the problem or took responsibility.
When I first picked it up, and took it home it did not take me long to notice it leaked about a quart a day. Then, after a several week "repair", the car drove seven miles before blowing a front input shaft seal and dumping quarts of fluid into the clutch. Ruining it. Then, after another few weeks, I was again told to come pick up my car. This time, I drove it for a few days and it now it occasionally engaged BOTH first AND reverse gear at the same time. So, again it went back to Aamco. They spent another two weeks trying to fix the sticking in gear problem, and told me to pick it up for the fourth time. At which point, during the test drive with the head technician named "Mike" in the car with me, it had a new vibration so bad you wouldn't drive over 50mph on a dare. The tech swore it was normal even though the car never did that before. When I complained, I was threatened by the staff and told to take my car home despite it not being repaired. So, I took it home. I had spent almost $3000.00 and now it is worse! So, I immediately reported the case to both BAR and NM attorney general. The Albuquerque NM Aamco store blamed the other California Aamco store and so forth, and the car never got fixed, and I never saw that money again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
AAMCO Transmissions - sabotage vehicle
Absolutely, positively the worst service I have ever had, at any buisiness of any type, in my life! Seriously, take your car anywhere else! These guys permanently screwed up my four-speed ford manual. Five months with car sitting at their shop and $3000.00, aamco never fixed the damn thing. So after being utterly disgusted with them, I gave the car to one of goldenwest community college's auto techs, and he fixed the car for $75.00, and pointed out numerious items aamco had tampered with for no apparent reason. Case reported to bar and nm attorny general.
That is completely factually untrue, and it is my opinion that you knew that already. If you had actually checked; it would be virtually impossible to not have found the attorney general for the entire state. The current attorney general of New Mexico is Hector Baldaras, his office is in Santa Fe on #408 Galisteo Street, his phone numbers are: [protected], [protected], and his fax number is: [protected]. Now, as far as the complaint filed with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, California is where the transmission was originally installed, so I filed with them after checking that they do in fact have jurisdiction in this case. If your interested in making amends I will gladly provide whatever copies of the paperwork you want, but if your goal is simply to try to invalidate my complaint, save your breath. It DID happen and I have ALL the paperwork and photos required to prove it. The shop you now own, did in fact break a standard Ford 4-speed manual transmission that was installed by Aamco Cathederal City California, and then after months-and-months of waiting, attempted to refuse to fix it, and then finally sabotaged it so you wouldn't have to fix it at all. It happened, I can prove it, and I will absolutely positively NOT tolerate any ridiculous insinuation that it didn't. John, you are the NEW owner and I hope you do better with the shop then the previous owner did, but you don't get to erase and re-write the past.
Thanks for following up, I've been through hell with a 2007 Dodge Durango, seven trips, over $5000.00 and the truck shifts worse now then it did when I brought it in. I will be following up with the NM attorney general! Thanks!
We brought our car in to aamco to get an estimate for a transmission. The service was rude. We would like to speak to someone from the company about this.
