AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Oct 27, 2024

A couple weeks ago my truck was having trouble shifting into higher gears, I took it here and they performed a more thorough diagnostic at no cost and in less time than the dealer, they found that a sensor had gone bad and needed to be replaced and the truck was back on the road for less than $900 and a couple hundred miles later it's still shifting great! Before I took it here I went to the Toyota dealer in South Austin, even though I had an appointment it still took them a whole day to look at my transmission fluid and determine that my entire transmission needed to be replaced for 8k... and they charged almost $200 for that. So I'll be back to AAMCO!

Quick and reliable would definitely come back if I have any other car trouble

Took vehicle in because no fan is life or death in Texas , gave an honest quote and offer 12 month warranty or miles . AC works great now. I would recommend.

Don’t use this company. Worst service and experience I’ve ever had in my life. They put a bad transmission in my car and put a wire harness in incorrect. Like yall didn’t test drive it and hear the loud whining noise coming from the transmission when yall were finished. They had my vehicle for 3 months. Picked up my car and my A/C wasn’t working, windshield wipers weren’t working, Heater wasn’t working and had the nerve to tell me it wasn’t working when I brought it in, are u serious. Terrible customer service from James. Please find another company to use these guys are a joke!

I love AAMCO of Austin. I take all of my cars there from my old Jeep CJ to my wife’s BMW. James and Freddy are courteous, prompt and very knowledgeable. Car repairs are expensive but these guys keep the prices reasonable and they are very timely on the turnaround. If they say it will be done on a certain day, it is. Can’t say enough about the service they provide.

My go to shop in Austin. They take great care of me every time. Quick and efficient and always a good rate. I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else.

Very rude guy in the front office, foolish man

Brought my car in for a repair. I initially suspected a problem with my clutch, but it turned out to be the brakes. They were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. James and his team diagnosed the issue quickly, communicated with me at each step, and repaired my car the very same day, all for a very fair price. They have more than earned my business, and I'll be back.

They do total car care, not just transmissions and I’ve used them twice. Low prices, high-quality, quick turnaround, great customer service. AAMCO is a trustworthy name in the vehicle services industry.

James was very helpful and provided great service. I needed to get a crank sensor and valve cover gasket replaced. The service was very fast and felt taken care of at AAMCO. Definitely recommend.

Podría darle un 20/10 a AAMCO mi troca se arruinó de la transmisión e iba bajándome de un freeway cuando eso pasó, y en el momento que llame ellos fueron a traer la troca , fueron muy responsables en todo, los recomendaría una y mil veces más 👏🏻👏🏻

Came in from insurance since I had a bad engine they replace it, and gave me one as bad as the one that got replace the engine only lasted 19,000 miles luckily it was still under warranty from them and replace it. The engine they get as not great quality and have high miles and as bad shape.

Extremely knowledgeable regarding transmission issues. They take the time to explain everything in simple terms. Made me feel like this is the way they would want to be treated if their own vehicle was being serviced.

I was having battery issues and needed service asap. They ordered the part and asked for expedited delivery for me. I was in and out in an hour. Great service and kind employees. Thank you!

5-star service at AAMCO. James and his associates were personable, professional and highly knowledgeable. Responded quickly and kept me updated. Left the shop feeling confident, aware of repair options, satisfied my auto was in the best hands available in the Austin metro area. Part 2:An update from my next AAMCO service : The when and where for your car's next visit. When your auto needs repair or you've been visited by that "Check Engine"light, James and his assistants at their 5-star service, AAMCO of Austin, is the visit your car needs. Why? Let me give you an example. Returning home one recent evening, while pulling into the garage, I was visited by that dreaded "Check Engine"light. It was the end of the day, but I made it to AAMCO at closing time. The next day I was scheduled for a doctor's appointment early afternoon, a serious appointment I could not afford to miss. James had me leave my car overnight so he could analyze cause and repair,ensuring me I would not miss the appointment. Now, what kind of person would do this so quick and fast especially when he has other cars in need? Only an owner, experienced and professional with the skills and associates prepared for any and all emergencies and more concerned for his customer's needs than his profits. He called the next morning and I arrived at appointment ahead of time. So, when the need or that dreaded "Check Engine"light flashes, get to AAMCO of Austin and become a member of James's AAMCO of Austin family for relief of all concerns and worries

Best transmission shop in town. 5 minutes from downtown. Don't take it anywhere else

Brought my overheating car in with no appointment, plus had a recurring issue other places hadn’t been able to adequately repair. They listened to my concerns, were upfront about pricing, explained the issue clearly, were super friendly and courteous, and got it fixed faster than i’ve ever seen anywhere take care of it with no appointment, and this has been giving me trouble for years. Will definitely be returning for any future issues.

Drove up with a dying car battery. Manager stepped out and helped me immediately. Had a new battery delivered in 20 minutes and installed it himself. Nice guy. Didn’t overcharge me or add any kind of fees. Offered coffee while I waited. I was out in 30 minutes. Appreciated the customer service.

Nov 27, 2023

Great day of service! Got my AC working in an hour which is needed with this Texas heat.

Nov 27, 2023

Had my transmission replaced on my F150 with 225k miles. Aamco was able to diagnose and service the vehicle very quickly and got me back on the road worry free. Pricing was fair and James did a great job staying in communication.

I had a wonderful experience (or as great of an experience as one could have at a repair shop). The dealer quoted me $500 for front and rear differential fluid change and I knew that was overly expensive. I called around to several shops and while other prices were lower, the shops seemed unsure about changing my differential fluid even though it was listed on their websites. Upon calling AAMCO on South Lamar, James greeted me warmly and was patient while pulling up a quote. He had availability the next day and said he would be able to fit me in and it would be done before the end of the day. I dropped my vehicle off at 11 pm and picked it up at 5:30. The price wasn’t far off from what he quoted me (it was a little less than half of what the dealer quoted me). I was extremely happy with the overall experience and if I ever have any transmission issues, I’ll be sure to bring my vehicle back to AAMCO.

I had work there done a few weeks back and very quick and fixed on the same day. I definitely would recommend this place!

Nov 27, 2023

I’ve been taking my Jeep to this AAMCO for about a year now. James (manager) always gets me in and out quickly for a fair price. Their fixes work and last and I never get an invoice full of unnecessary suggestions. I absolutely recommend this shop thanks for the help guys!

Nov 27, 2023

James saved my weekend! After calling auto shops all across austin AAMCO was the only shop willing to do a diagnostic for me on a Saturday. They were able to diagnose my engine issues, give me a plan for how to resolve the issue and even educated me along the way!

Nov 27, 2023

James was very helpful overall best experience I've had anywhere else. I would highly recommend them to anyone

My transmission stopped functioning in mid intersection in south Austin, about 30 minutes from my home. We couldn't even push the van out of the way, it wouldn't move. We went to Aamco on South Lamar, explained the situation and James walked to my van with us to check it out, in July, about 100 degrees. He was able to manually shift it into drive under the hood, drove it to his shop and repaired it. The shift cable and bushings needed to be replaced, but not the transmission. Of all the possible outcomes running through my head when this happened, this was better than I imagined. We didn't have to have it towed, no one tried to sell us a new transmission when it wasn't required. I highly recommend this business! Thank you James!

The guys were nice and fixed my car quickly but when I picked up my car, it had been driven around and it looks like they picked up food in it. There were unwrapped plastic utensils on the floor of my passenger seat and the mileage went up significantly. Very unprofessional.

Nov 27, 2023

The guys who work here are great. James is very nice and helpful. I feel confident bringing my vehicle here.

Nov 27, 2023

The service was great. My car was ready early and they did a great job explaining what was happening, each step of the way. I would highly recommend.

Nov 27, 2023

This place doesn't have the right technician to do their jobs. Becarful, check your car right after they work on, you might find something wrong like the bad experience I had for place. I will never go back there.

Nov 27, 2023

This was probably the best car maintenance experience I’ve ever had. James was incredibly kind and educational, he thoroughly explained the “why” behind his recommendation and the price was very reasonable. I recommend this business to anyone in the downtown Austin area who is needing service. You won’t be disappointed!

Nov 27, 2023

Used AAMCO twice in a month, different issues $1100+. Very honest mechanic, reasonable prices and always on time!

Nov 27, 2023

Very knowledgeable, honest, and courteous service. Highly recommend.
