There were red flags I should have paid attention to them and I didn't Come here to get taken

Quick and thorough

They rebuilt my transmission over 10 years ago and it's still going strong with 200k on the rebuild. I've recommended them to several friends and acquaintances and they've all been very happy with the work. They definitely know what they're doing when it comes to transmission work.

This company went above and beyond what any other service company has done for me. My truck started clicking when accelerating and Google said take it in immediately. So I don’t live in San Antonio and I picked them because they were the closest. This was after a month long camping vacation by myself with my two dogs and 33 foot long camper! I called and Dennis answered and went to the extreme to come and find me and then lead the way back to the shop. Dennis found a Campground for us to stay at while they worked on my truck. Offering to take me to get groceries or anything I might need. They Got me back on the road as soon as possible and for that I’m very grateful. I would say damsel in distress, but I’m female and over 63!

Great place to get your vehicle maintenance and repaired. Keep up the great service.


Dec 06, 2021

Paid over 4,000 transmission was not fixed completely it started to mess up on us again it was supposedly repaired and parts replaced. I saw the bad and good commenta prior to taking our truck here and I decided to give this shop a shot and I should of listened to those bad reviews. Dont take your chances take your vehicle else where.


Dec 06, 2021

Great service!


Dec 06, 2021

I had car problems while on the road and they helped me figure what was going on. It wasn't easy and they were half an hour from closing and still took it on. Though I couldn't get the work done there, they were incredibly helpful and on point. I would definitely get work done here.

I have been working with the new owner for the better part of a decade, and have followed him from his former shop where he was an employee, to AARCO, where he is the owner. I have had several work vehicles that he has maintained for me, including a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, and a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500. As a small business owner, my vehicle is essential for work, and he has kept me on the road and in business. He is always there to help, and has provided me with honestly, excellent service and a good value. I have read through many of the other poor reviews, and they have all occurred "PRIOR" to his acquisition of the shop. I hope that this review helps to give potential new customers the peace-of-mind needed to use AARCO for their vehicle repairs and maintenance.


Dec 06, 2021

I was iffy with the mixed reviews, but the service was quick and very pleasant! Best pricing I found for a used engine! Would recommend to anyone!

In this day and age, you simply cannot take your classic car to just any shop. After taking my transmission to be rebuilt at Thunderbirds Southwest and having it fail within the first 50 miles, I did my research and took my 1960 Thunderbird to AARCO. These folks did an excellent job rebuilding and installing my transmission. Jr knows exactly what needs to be accomplished and Maria extended me a level of professionalism and customer service I seldom experience in this day and age. These are honorable business people that have the technical capability to trust with even the most unique vehicles. I highly recommend them!


Dec 06, 2021

They fixed my car about 8 mths ago and the same break booster they fixed has broken again that is 2 times in 2 years and of course u call and they dont answer i just want my warranty information for the part so i can go else where


Dec 06, 2020

Couldn't find what was wrong with my Escalade after switching out so many parts he found it was an electrical problem and fixed it then I took a newer vehicle of mine to McCombs for RPM issues and they wanted to charge me 1,700 decided to take it here he fixed my problem along with an oil change for 390 I'll definitely come back if I need to thanks


Dec 06, 2020

Dec 06, 2020

Dec 06, 2020

Outstanding job!! Great service. They also will work with you to make payments. Definitely will recommend this place to anyone!!


Dec 06, 2020

Please don't take your car or truck to them .The owner is bad news.


Dec 06, 2020

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE they’ve had my car since 31 March 2020 and told me my car will be done by 4 April 2020(After calling them multiple times to check on the status). Throughout the waiting period they never called me to keep me updated I had to keep contacting them! Then 4 April comes and they said my car won’t be ready until 6 April. It is 6 April and they have yet to call me to tell me my car is ready for pick up. I called, left a voicemail on the salesman’s phone, sent a text and an email and still no reply. They are very unprofessional! Would give them 0/10 if I could! (Review wrote on Yelp when it happened) we have the car now and it’s still acting up. The service is horrible and they have no professionalism.


Dec 06, 2020

They were great and reasonably priced this time around. This is our 3rd time with our 2car. They are super busy and took longer then I like to diagnose the problem but once they did JR had it complete and repaired the next day !! Including having it washed !!


Dec 06, 2020

This place is terrible, they charged us 700$ to tell us our motor was blown then gave us our vehicle with the motor in pieces. They didn’t bother to use the $700 towards labor to actually do some labor and put our vehicle back together. They really suck and in my eyes are rip offs. We then noticed our battery was missing and had to go back to pick it up and see it in another car ... I’m sure that was an “accident”


Dec 06, 2020

We called this shop and they sent a tow truck to pick up our vehicle. They did a diagnosis and told us about possible repair. Shop manager Rudy told us what was wrong with vehicle transmission in a timely manner. He and the shop gave us several different options on fixing the problem and also gave us cost or repairs. We made an agreement and about a week later we had our car back and running. Would definitely recommend.
