Repair: Differential Gear Shaft Replacement Repair entails: disconnecting brake lines, reconnecting, and bleeding them Cost: $5,335.00 Summary: 3 repair visits and 24 hours out of state emergency brake failure repair Repair 1 p/u date April 14th - failed at 70 miles an hour in Oregon on my way to San Diego, Ca, by the time I got back to Vancouver, WA it was worse than when I first brought in for the repair. Repair 2 p/u date June 4th - failed at 25 miles almost immediately June 9th went into the shop One Last Chance and I Demanded Toyota OEM parts since I learned I paid too much for none OEM parts and they were trying to pressurize the pinion gear themselves, the reason for the immediate failures. Also, stated if this replacement failed, I'd expect all my money back. Repair 3 date July 9th - my brakes lost pressure in early Sunday morning of July 12th on my way to San Diego, Ca. failed in Bakersfield, California at about 8:30 am after driving all night. Paid $395.91 for a 24-hour emergency mechanic to bleed my brakes. Brake Failure Cause: bubbles / air in the rear brake line. Why didn't it fail sooner - low traffic cool night driving, used cruise and to keep myself alert slowing through curves by shutting off cruise and accelerated then restarted cruise while driving through the Oregon and California mountains. What happens when bubbles / air gets in the brake lines: brake fluid heats up and the air expands causing no pressure to your brakes and the pedal goes to the floor.

Please Please Please do your own research before trusting anything these fools have to say…read more I came to this shop to check a non-fatal check engine light on my car, with the intention of using their advertised free car servicing. I don't remember who I spoke with, but you'll certainly know him as he has the biggest nose in All of the state of Washington. He goes on to do a preservice, which involved using the OBD2 scanner to diagnose the issues. From that alone he was able to deduct that I needed a whole new transmission. The genius with "35 years of transmission experience" was able to conclude with one simple computer scan that I needed a whole new transmission. The issue? I had to drive to Las Vegas that night, which entailed 900+ miles straight. I was told that I would never make it home to vegas and that this was something I needed to do. Yeah my ass. Long story short I end up driving home and the check engine light goes away. While researching the issue on my own, I was able to conclude that the codes my car gave me showed zero signs of a fatal transmission error. The problem was actually quite simple. I would go here if I had the quoted 9 grand to spend, but otherwise, you are better off doing your own research or trusting a business that intends to take care of you. And this is absolutely not one of them.

Like many of us, I don't have a lot of time to give either good or bad reviews to businesses or…read morepeople online, but with Tim @ AATCO Transmissions I had a superb experience worth sharing. To keep the story short: I know almost nothing about motors/transmissions cars/trucks etc. I build homes but when it comes to the vehicles I drive I'm clueless. Because of my ignorance I have been the unfortunate target of automotive mechanic scams in the past -- some proven to be and others that have just left me feeling icky after signing my credit card receipt. Regardless, I'm probably an easy target. I came to Tim because I thought my transmission was slipping in my 1989 OBS Ford F-250. I love this truck -- had it for more than twenty years as it was given to me by my father. A new transmission cost would probably cause me to lay this thing to rest. Tim asked for me keys and drove it around town for about 15 minutes before returning. He smiled, waved down a mechanic of his, and had him look under the hood and confirm his suspicion. The fan clutch was bad -- a simple part that someone handy with tools could do on their own pretty simply -- he pointed out. I asked him how much -- he said "I don't do them." He does transmissions. He walked me through the process, smiling and joking the whole time, and convinced me I was capable of the work. I should have given him a great hug -- but a more masculine handshake would do. :-) I went to NAPA and for I think around 80 dollars I got the new part, did what Tim told me to, and now have a beautifully running truck again. Great experience! Thank you to Tim and his Crew at AATCO. :-) May God Bless you for looking after your neighbors. -Peter

Their mechanic said it would cost almost $9000 to repair because the transfer case and transmission needed to be replaced. Then they offered me A LOT of trade-in value for it. That seemed fishy so I didn't trust them after the offer and decided to get a second opinion on the repairs. I am glad I did! As I said, I'm not a mechanic in any way so Mike helped me and explained that the pickup did need a new transfer case, but that the transmission looked good. He saved me over $6000 from what I would have paid to the dealer. I guess now I know who the true expert is and where I'm always taking my pickup for services now. Thanks Mike!

I paid a total of $500 plus registration for this car and it wasn't worth $1000 in running condition. I decided not to go forward with the repair. The suddenly nasty woman running the place refused to refund any of the money I had put down, threatened me about removing the car from her property within 72 hours or else I would face charges for something vaguely legal sounding and tried to tell me she was doing me a favor returning this vehicle to me with the old transmission in a box in the back of the car. I wish I had the time and the money to take her to court at the time. I was polite, professional and kindly throughout our entire interaction and ended up getting ripped off for $1000, had to arrange a tow for a nonoperational vehicle and got to listen to a ration of crap from an incredibly nasty wretch of a manager for my trouble. This was several years ago and I am still furious with AAMCO over this incident. Other people I have talked to have been ripped off with bait and switch incidents similar to mine and had experienced similar attitude from employees once you stop handling your credit card over without questions. I will NEVER go to AAMCO for anything and if anyone needs ammo for a lawsuit I'd be happy to testify about my experience and I can provide invoices that back up my story. AAMCO is terrible.
