My experience with AAMCO in Maplewood was very bad. First time there and that will also be my last time. I needed my transmission replaced and a new clutch in a couple years ago. Since I was going to school and working at the time I didnt have time to do it myself, so I thought AAMCO would be a good place to go to after reading some good reviews, but I was wrong. I had an aftermarket clutch in my car and I asked them if the clutch that they were providing better than my aftermarket clutch that was previously installed. They all said "yep same or even better". I went over this part explaining to them again and again that I have an aftermarket clutch 3-4 times with them, but what did you know I looked at the receipt and it said "OEM Replacement". I was lied too and also they had no knowledge of what I was talking about even though I tried to explain everything as simple as possible. As the work was going on they did a wheel bearing on my car without even informing me that the work was needed to be done, yet they just went ahead and did it without my consent and then charged me for it. They never updated me on the progress of my car like they said they would unless I called them. Upon paying for it I asked the front desk guy how many miles were on the used transmission that they threw in my car he just said "ehhh I think its around where your mileage is" which was 154k miles, so I paid 1.6k for a shitty transmission. When he said that I knew this place was just trying make a quick buck out of me since I was young at the time. I just wanted to get everything paid and done with and never go back. So I paid 3.5k in total for a shitty transmission that they didnt even know themselves how many miles were on it, a clutch that they claimed that was better than my aftermarket clutch even though I repeatedly explained to them what kind of clutch I had and work that was done without my consent or even informing me about it until after the work was done. Also the clutch didnt even last me a year. The transmission grind after while. Then after a while the tranny blew, so I would assume the transmission had more than 200k miles on it. They showed me how they had to use the transmission mounting as leverage to pry the transmission from the engine, so there was damage there. Since the tranny and the clutch went again I took my own time to do everything myself. Doing that saved me 2.5k. I sourced out a used tranny for $500 130k miles, a new Exedy oem Stage 1 clutch for $200, $70 to resurface the flywheel locally, installation all by myself with a few helps from friends and internet forums and 12 hours of spare time to drop everything, install the parts and put everything back. Overall I will never go to any AAMCO shop ever again and I will tell people, friends and family to never go there for their service. Horrible experience. I would give it 0 out of 5 stars if I can, but I cant so that 1 star is just there for no reason at all.

Ive gone here several times over quite a few years to have my car worked on. Theyve always been straight with me with a fair price. Once when I had a problem with a Drivers side wheel bearing they had fixed that went bad again (from another issue with my car) they called it in and got it replaced for free under warranty, saving me some cash. The bottom line is they have been honest with me over the years, even when management changed.

AAMCO continues to sell rebuilt transmission that fail. The warranty is usually expired and it will cost you more to have another rebuilt transmission put into your vehicle. AAMCO seems promising because they have shops all over, but when a transmission fails at 30k, what service are they providing.

Very shotty work. Cant weld properly. Machanics seem to be not very well trained. Not sure if they are certified. If they are must be a damn easy test. NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK, BUT THEY TALK A GOOD TALK.

Wonderful service with a big smile! Great prices and services! I have more than 313,000 miles on my 2005 Silverado and I have been coming to this Aamco for years! Great job guys!
