We told Wayne our issue and he was more than happy to figure out the cause of the problem. Unfortunately he was unable to fix the problem (transmission oil/cvt) but he pointed us to someone who could (Pro 1 Transmission) Pro 1 actually saved us money by telling us that our car (2008 Altima) is under an extended warranty and could be fixed for free at the dealership. I recommended both automotive shops (both within 10 mins of each other) Thanks Wayne / Pro 1 for the help. Papa bless

We just recently moved to Texarkana so I was unfamiliar with anybody around to work on my Jeep. These folks had the best reviews so I thought I would give them a call. Turns out they were not that far from my home and I needed somewhere close to get my vehicle to. They listened to what my problem was and as they checked things out they explained everything in detail to me. If I am ever in need of repair service again I will definitely use them!

I saved money and now have a place that I can take my truck to if it ever acts up again. The price I paid for the repair was less than the quoted price of replacing the transmission. I appreciate the care I received and will return again.

Our experience with AAMCO Transmission and Total Car Care has been less than satisfying…read more We initially took our 2005 F-150 to them in December to have the transmission replaced -- a $5,500 repair. In February, we had to take it back because it was having issues shifting into overdrive. They told us it needed a new solenoid motor -- another $560 out of pocket. Two weeks later, the dashboard lit up with transmission fault errors, sending us back to AAMCO for a third visit. They kept the truck for almost a month and ended up replacing the transmission again under warranty. When they finally called to tell us it was ready, they casually mentioned that the truck was overheating -- and even asked us if it had any overheating problems before bringing it to them (it absolutely did not). They told us we "wouldn't make it very far" with it overheating like it was -- but at that point, after waiting weeks already, my husband told them he would pick it up and handle it himself. It took us two hours to get it home because we had to stop every few miles to let it cool down. Once we got it home, we opened the hood and discovered the battery wasn't even bolted down -- it was just sitting loose, and there was NO transmission fluid even registering in the dipstick! We took the truck to a local shop near us for a second opinion and found out AAMCO had never flushed the radiator or transmission cooler when replacing the transmission -- a critical step to prevent overheating and protect the new transmission. That oversight cost us another $650 to have corrected properly. Communication throughout this entire ordeal was poor at best -- calls were not returned in a timely manner, updates were hard to get, and overall we feel like the quality of work was extremely lacking. We've now spent over $6,700 dealing with transmission issues because of this shop -- not including the lost time, stress, and frustration. We would strongly caution anyone considering AAMCO Transmission and Total Car Care to get a second opinion before trusting your vehicle here. Based on our experience, we absolutely would not recommend them.

I told the guys at Cates what was going on and they went with the logical solution: actually looking at the transmission and telling me what needed to happen. Turns out I only needed a new torque converter. They seem to be a very honest shop. Everything they did was on time, and they followed through on their word as far as pricing. If I ever have any transmission issues in the future I will more than likely be returning to Cates if I'm still in the area.

About 4 days later the car started struggling to shift gears and the transmission went out! We towed the car on a trailer back to Cates so they could fix it again. It took them TWO weeks with our van to IDENTIFY the problem and they said they will try to have it fixed next week, but no guarantee on when it will be done. I'm very upset with their lack of communication, as I have had to call them each week for an update. They have not called once to tell me anything- even when it was done the first time, they had it sitting in their lot without any notification! I am very dissatisfied with the service and I would not recommend them to anyone.
