I would never go anywhere else!…read more I was having transmission issues with my 2011 Pathfinder including, trouble lights intermittently, getting stuck in 4WD, shifting issues, among others. I called Rich and he asked me to drop it off before he closed and he would check it out in the following day. He called the following day and informed me that he didn't find any problems operationally but, the computer wasn't cleared when the trouble lights previously were cleared. He then told me to come to pick it up and just let him know if anything happens in the future. When I went to get it, expecting to pay a few hundred for labor, he told me "no charge, just make sure to bring it back immediately if anything else goes wrong." Not only will I be back, but I recommend him to everyone that has transmission issues and tell them my story.

These are very talented people. Very honest and reliable. Their name fits them to a T. My work…read morewas done in 2004, and I sold my car in 2011. Transmission repair is such a crapshoot with the amount of grifters out there. I was recommended by a friend. He told me that this is the only place that he would trust to take his car for transmission work. I totally agree. I live in Manhattan and didn't think twice about taking my car out to Little Ferry, NJ for the rebuild. Heck, they are basically just over the George Washington Bridge. Rich even gave me a ride to the PATH Train, which was really going out of his way. What a great guy! I brought my 1991 Toyota there with it slipping badly. I have enough experience to know that it was the transmission, especially after 120,000 miles. Rich scheduled me for an appointment one week away and I dropped the car off. He didn't promise an exact date because things come up. I got the car back in a week and it was spectacular. Quality rebuilt the transmission and actually made it stronger. I drove the car for another 145,000 miles and the transmission performed like new. I was wowed. I tend to keep my cars a long time. If my current car ever needs transmission work, Quality will be the first place that I go...even for something as simple as a transmission oil change. A total pleasure to deal with.

During lunch time I found Superior though google and decided to try it out because it was really close. Sam the owner of the car shop did a test drive and checked my car thoroughly, and he identified the issue of the pipe right away. He is extremely experienced, and very honest and patient as well. It took Sam 3 hours to finish the work, he put my muffler back in place, ordered a small part needed, re connect the pipe, and making sure they stay still. I have a fully functioning vehicle at the end of the day - and it only cost me $32 ! This will be the place I go if i have any car issues again. Highly recommended!

I was sent here because a different AAMCO (different franchise, Hawthorn) did very bad work on my…read morecar's transmission, and Corporate sent me to this AAMCO to get it checked out. I was there for about an hour. The manager, JR, and his workers did a very thorough check out. He asked me questions, instantly knew things were wrong, and he sent the report with pictures to Corporate. A few weeks later. corporate got me a brand new transmission to be installed by JR, not the original AAMCO. JR and his crew installed it in two days, and there have been no problems. JR, the manager, has been unbelievably honest and careful with me and my car, and after interacting with him, I can see how deficient the other AAMCO franchise was. I would 100% trust this AAMCO/Manager.

I requested to put back the old part. The old part was damage so it couldn't be put back. George told me that in order for the actuator to work it has to be reprogrammed and that he didn't have the program. He stated to me that it will be cheaper to replace the transmission. I stated to George that the transmission wasn't the problem. I decided to take my vehicle to anther shop. The other shop took just approximately 2 hours to fix the problem.

A bunch of liars. BEWARE !!!…read more They didn't do a flush or properly do the flush. The trans fluid is not pink, but black (pink when fluid is new in W5A580 trans), the trans clunks under load on down shifts, pickup/shift is slow in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears. They appear to swap junkyard stuff in your vehicle and take your factory transmission instead of rebuilding it as you pay for. My transmission went into their shop WITH the original dealer stamp containing the serial number and identification of my transmission. I spoke to the owner before taking my car over to his shop. He was fully understanding to the point of me requesting a full overhaul on my transmission. My transmission was not slipping or anything, but I knew a bearing was bad after seeing some needle bearing pieces when I lately changed the trans oil. After the shop installed the "rebuilt transmission". I checked and saw there were no stickers on the newly installed trans they put in. I inquired, and informed Rich Varjan (owner) this was not my trans which came out, he was disgruntled after I informed the dealer sticker is not on the trans they gave me which meant this was not what came out my vehicle. He then angrily said they put the one in that came out. This is a blatant lie because I went under my car and saw the original dealer stickers prior to having it in their shop. The vehicle was a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7L with a Chrysler W5A580 (Nag1). According to well known professional rebuilders the Sprinters and the Cherokee Laredo Nag1 transmission are not the same or FULLY interchangeable. Could it be that the shop put a Sprinter or another 722.6 variant in my vehicle? During the pickup where I paid $2600 to Rich Varjan, I asked what was wrong with my transmission and what was replaced (internally) that I would like to know. He informed he didn't know because one of his guys worked on it. The transmission on the vehicle is a W5A580 and it somehow seems they used a substitute (perhaps a W5A330 from a junkyard) because the vehicle is not running as it was before, it clunks on the drive train (did not do this when it was taken to the shop), sluggish on pickup shifting. The trans in the vehicle does not feel like a Chrysler W5A580 (Nag1) which came out my 2007 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. They are nice at the beginning when they want the business and tell you "don't worry". But now I'm worried $2600 later.

Rich took care of it and in my opinion went above and beyond to do so. We recently installed a trans from a Dodge 1500 and it seems to be great.

If you're looking for an honest mechanic that actually cares, go see Tom…read more He's been in business at the same location for 48 years, and that alone says everything. In a world where it's hard to find trustworthy mechanics, Tom is the real deal; transparent, fair, and very knowledgeable. He recently replaced my radiator and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything clearly, showed me what needed to be fixed, and gave honest pricing without trying to upsell unnecessary work. Next, I'll be bringing my car back for my inner tie rod because I genuinely trust his work. Another great thing is the location, you can easily take a quick Uber ($8) *minutes away to Riverside Square Mall (bring your laptop & do your work in Barnes & Noble) while your car is being worked on, which makes the experience super convenient. I love supporting mom & pop businesses, especially ones that have served the community for decades with integrity. You don't stay in business for nearly 50 years unless you treat people right. Highly recommend Tom for radiator work, mechanical repairs, maintenance, and honestly anything car related. Good mechanics are hard to find, great ones like Tom are rare.
