I was quoted $4500 to replace my so called shot transmission. I got another opinion from an actual mechanic and he completely fixed the issue for $300. Had you dropped the pan you would have discovered no metal shavings and a filter that needed replacing. And if you had done that, would you have told me it was only a filter replacement instead of the entire tranny? When I stopped by looking to be refunded my $175, I was told that the gentleman who dealt with would get ahold of me. Unfortunately, no return phone call. I didn't expect to be refunded but I did expect common professional courtesy along with an acknowledgment in accountability. From everything I have read and heard, AAMCO Vallejo is pretty consistent with this sort of customer service. I'm sure this review will be responded to with "We did our due diligence in diagnosing your transmission issues and everything indicated that a replacement was the proper course of action." Sure. But we both know better. The AAMCO corporate office along with the BBB will be notified of this matter. THIS WAS THE REVIEW I LEFT ON GOOGLE. As expected I received a response to it the review saying I declined to have my pan dropped due to not wanting to pay for it. I was also told that changing the fluids will temporarily disguise the underlying issue. So what is it? You never offered the dropping of the pan option so please quit lying. I went by your shop, left my number and was told you would call. After 2 days with no response, what would you expect me to do? At least Toyota admitted they effed up and gave me my money back. I wasn't even worried about getting my money back. Principal. Yelp is here for exactly the what and how it happened. It's your choice to do the right thing or keep forcing people to give accurate assessments of your work or lack of it.

His work is top notch! I hate going into a mechanic prior to him and having to steel myself regarding, "what am I going to be charged today?!" Because the price they gave me was "just an estimate." Not here, he's familiar with how to use technology! That means he can put your service needs into the computer and spit out an actual cost of your service. In the event something else actually is wrong, he calls you and communicates his findings. WITH NO BS, "you got to fix this or else and it's gonna be a million gazillion dollars!" Bottom line, I trust him. If I didn't I'd be driving to Vacaville VW.

My dad is a mechanic and growing up (and still even now as an adult), he has helped me with a lot of my car repairs so I've never had to really worry about it. But since he's across the bridge it's not so realistic anymore to have him take care of things and he's getting older now (although I'd never tell him that since he's stubborn and would want to help me lol). Also being that I used to work car industry, I've always just known of someone who can fix or maintain my car for me. So finding someone I can trust outside of my network that I feel I can trust is a big deal.

I wanted to make sure I followed up because I know my review will mean something for this business. I brought my classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Nayarit Transmission in East Oakland for a transmission fluid change. From the start, I felt at ease. Yes, there's a security dog on-site, but the way the owner treats him says everything!he's clearly part of the family, not just for show. As someone who loves dogs, I really respected that. The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.

A quick perusal of Reddit revealed that Nissan Rogues from this time period were notorious for major problems with the CVT transmissions and there was no fix apart from replacement. I am always a bit terrified of dealing with mechanics because I realize how vulnerable I am to having to trust the expertise of a complete stranger and I have no real independent way of verifying that I am not being taken for a ride. I was fully expecting having to shell out $7000 or more. So, when I rolled up into Nayarit, I was greeted my Marcos. He was friendly and welcoming, and fully explained the history of problems with Nissan Rogue transmissions and why they generally have to be replaced. But he said he wouldn't know for sure until he did a full diagnostic. So, I left my vehicle with him, fully expecting the worse. So, I was quite surprised when Marcos called me and said that perhaps my problem was not my transmission, but instead the transfer case that is attached to the transmission. The transfer case, well, transfers power, between the front and rear axles for all wheel drive. Marcos explained that replacing the transfer case, which is a third of the cost of replacing the transmission, might fix the problem. But he warned me that, sometimes, after replacing the transfer case, they realize the transmission still needs to be replaced. I was cautiously hopeful, but still prepared for the worst. In just two days, Marcos replaced the transfer case, did a full tune-up of the existing transmission, as well as some other severely needed maintenance, and turned my vehicle over to me working perfectly. No need for a new transmission! What??!!? Marcos could have told me I needed a new transmission, and I would have believed him. It is extremely evident that Marcos is extraordinarily trustworthy - he will do a careful diagnostic review of your vehicle, carefully explain exactly what is wrong based on his expertise and experience, and will only repair or replace what is necessary. The cost of his work is very fairly priced. He works fast. He takes great pride in the high quality of his work. He has integrity. What more could you possibly hope for? Thank you, Marcos. You are awesome!

Since I have been going to Vallejo Car Care Clinic for maybe four years, primarily for a 2001 BMW CI, and I have always been pleased with their customer service, this car shop (Gil, in particular) needs a long-deserved shout-out. Gil is super attentive and very honest. Less than a week ago, I took my son's car to Gil. It is a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid that needed a catalytic converter. Rather than take the job, which costs a decent amount of money, Gil asked me, considering the age and mileage of the car, if we really wanted to proceed with the repair. He said the Honda has two catalytic converters and, while the second unit did not register as defective, there is a good chance it will soon. So, we decided against fixing it. In my book, that is a remarkable trait for an auto shop owner to possess. He will not say what the customer wants to hear, like how soon the car will be ready, just to get their business. When he says the car will be ready at a certain time, it usually is. In fact, I do not remember him ever missing a completion date/time.

I brought my car in due to an intermittent gear slipping issue, which I had already traced to a solenoid problem--a very common issue with my Pontiac G6. The symptoms only occurred twice, very briefly. My check engine light came on both times but turned off on its own. I was still able to drive the car on the freeway at full speed with no issues. The problem only showed up during city stop-and-go traffic. I specifically asked if they could just replace the solenoid, and was told no. Instead, I was told I "only had gears 1 and 2" and that I'd need a $4,800 transmission rebuild--which is objectively false, as I literally drove the car 70+ mph on the freeway both before and after leaving the shop. My engine light was off before coming to the shop, turned on once at the shop, then turned back off shortly after leaving. There is no way my car had only gears 1 & 2 I know what that feels like as it happened twice briefly. So to say this to me is insane. Mind you wouldn't have been able to go more than 25 with out the car struggling they must have assumed I don't know a thing about cars. Possibly because I'm a woman and I went alone. They also claimed the solenoid was too difficult to access without replacing the computer and warned me about my car's mileage, as if that meant it wasn't worth fixing. But then, on my way out, they admitted it's a "really great car" and "this is the only issue." It felt manipulative. I decided to trust my gut, went to a different shop, and had the solenoid replaced--and now my car runs perfectly fine. No rebuild needed. If I hadn't known what I was talking about, they would've gladly let me spend thousands on a completely unnecessary repair. Trust yourself. Do your research. Don't let fear-based upselling push you into something you don't need. Also from reading the reviews it sounds like the routinely tell their customers they need a rebuild and successfully do the rebuild. (more than likely something very easily replaceable) However a good transmission shop doesn't just rebuild, they properly and honestly diagnose and repair. He also tried selling me cars on the way out. Notice how he hasn't replied to this yelp review and also told me he feels bad for me in the text? Very unprofessional I don't need your pitty I needed honesty which I didn't get from this shop. He also told me don't buy a used car you can't guarantee you won't have problems it's best if you fix this one with us. Also told me not to go to another shop because id want a local shop lol
