GO HERE!!! If you want honest, trustworthy timely people for your vehicle needs this is the place to go!! I took my vehicle into another shop for shifting issues such as jumping back and forth between gears and sticking then punching into gear with great force to the point of rattling my whole vehicle and making a loud banging sound. They told me that after taking it for a drive and running a scan on it they did not hear or see or feel anything wrong with it. I was told that since it does not do it all the time and there are no codes being displayed or warnings on my dash not to worry about it...they also told me that my transmission fluid was over full and that this is most likely what is causing the issue. So after $80 later to have them check it and drain some fluid I was told to come pick it up. 5 minutes into the drive and BANG....literally! The problem was still there. Brought it into AAMCO they were immediately able to determine and fix the problem at very minimal cost to me as well as discovering that it was indeed putting out a code to let us know there was something wrong. Turns out I had a bad speed sensor that was throwing off my transmission being able to shift properly. They ordered in the part fixed it and called me in to pick it up. Russ was very helpful and informative and got things fixed and had me on my way in no time! I couldnt be more satisfied with my experience and will be referring everyone I know here. Im moving to the Northglenn/Thornton area in August but will be making the extra time and trip to come here for all my future needs. Two thumbs up and 5 stars!! Thank you guys so much for the wonderful experience and service you provided! No scamming, upselling, pressure or messing around. They looked at and fixed exactly what I brought it in for and didnt try to throw in random additional things. Keep up the great work guys!!!

My husband and I have been going through several stressful situations recently. Last week, the outside door handle broke on our 1998 Toyota Camry. Then the inside handle broke. My husband took the panel off and the mechanisms inside were falling apart. Needless to say, we knew it was going to be expensive and we had no extra money. My daughter has done business with Russ at Total Car Care for quite a while and she told him about our situation. She is on disability and he has always been wonderful to her. He told us to bring it in and after checking the whole system, he realized everything needed to be replaced and it had to come from the dealer. The total was over $400. We did what we always do. We prayed, an told him to go ahead and fix it. Russ talked to his wife and when it was all done, he only charged us for the price of the parts. In a world where you always hear horror stories about mechanics, were here to tell you that Russ goes above and beyond to help his customers. Our bill was only $220. Needless to say, we cried. It wasnt easy to come up with the money, but we had help from family. Russ did an excellent job quickly and kept us in the loop the whole time. He deserves a medal! We shall ever be grateful to God for bringing such a giving and capable man into our life. Thank you so much for being there when we needed a friend and a good mechanic! God bless you. WE cant say enough about this wonderful man and his wife, Take your car to Russ. You wont be sorry!

I cant say enough about Russ and the guys at the Arvada Aamco, the are very knowledgeable and their customer service is second to none! We had two vehicles serviced there, one is a 2002 Saturn, this vehicle (an automatic) would not shift gears, our previous shop thought it was the transmission, Russ thought it was electrical, he was correct. The second vehicle is a 2003 Saturn Vue (5 speed), this vehicle needed new brakes. We received a very good price and great customer service. I guess what I like most is the level of honesty and integrity these gentlemen have, it is a comfort to be able to trust your mechanic - we have five drivers and five vehicles and they will all be serviced by this Aamco now! We couldnt be happier!

I have a manual transmission. I took my car in because I could not get into first gear about every 4 time. If I double clutched I was able to get into first gear. I was told The Clutch kit would cost $675 That is $14 over the list price for the clutch kit with a flywheel. These parts can be obtained at a parts store a retail price of $389.99. A number of auto repair companies charge the list price for their parts. This is not uncommon. The Labor would be 9.5 hours. That was 3 hours over another well trusted national auto repair company. I asked him to give me a written estimate. He instead repeated his verbal estimate. My impression is that he preferred verbal estimates over a written estimates.

We had our 2003 Red Ford Taurus transmission remanufactured 2 1/2 months ago and the car has been in the Aamco shop for nearly the entire summer. A few weeks after the transmission finished, it over heated and had a 721 error which is a faulty Torque Converter. The AAmco guys didnt want to change the torque converter and tried something else, change the TCC valve. It didnt work. We been waiting nearly 3 weeks and we get the same response when we call. "It will be done tomorrow". We got the same response when we went over to the AAmco shop today. Our car was parked in the far back of the parking lot behind some trucks. Russ said it will be done tomorrow. We will see. More to come.

Total Nightmare. Took my car here because I felt something wrong in the drivetrain. They found a bad tensioner pulley for the A/C. My car was at this shop for over 2 months supposedly being worked on. Finally fed up with the time it was taking and being told theyd have it done shortly, I did my own research and found that the part they were trying to repair wasnt necessary. So i told them not to worry about it and put the rest of it back together. That takes a few more days. Once i get my car back, on my way home I discover that same feeling in the drivetrain that I originally complained about. Did they even test drive it before returning it to me? Dont go here.

Recently had my SUV evaluated at the AAMCO in Arvada -- Not only were they professional, they (Russ) evaluated my car and determined that the situation with my Transmission was not as dire as another shop portrayed -- and that I could continue to safely operate it without a major re-build or overhaul. Very rare (in my experience) that a shop will tell you this. Was impressed enough that I referred a family member (that did need work) and they were happy with the experience as well. Cannot comment on the 2-4 year old one-star ratings by anonymous users below, but was clearly NOT my experience. I would recommend.
