Extremely Disappointed With the Service and Lack of Accountability…read more
I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience at this AAMCO location due to repeated delays, ongoing repair issues, and a lack of a clear timeline for completing the work.
In mid-September, I had my vehicle at the Nissan service department and began calling around to compare repair estimates. An AAMCO representative advised me that I would be overcharged at the dealership, so I decided to give AAMCO an opportunity to handle the repairs. They even arranged to pick up my vehicle, which gave me confidence that I was making the right decision.
Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward repair has turned into a prolonged and frustrating experience. I was initially told my vehicle was ready in early October. However, as soon as I moved it, the CVT system warning appeared. I was then informed that the transmission they had just replaced needed to be replaced again.
After the additional transmission replacement, a programming issue required the vehicle to be taken to the Nissan service department. When the vehicle returned to AAMCO, I was informed that another part had been damaged during the transmission replacement and required additional attention.
As of October 26, my vehicle had been at the shop for over a month and was still not repaired and available for use. Throughout this process, I have dealt with repeated delays, additional repair complications, and no reliable completion date. What has made this experience even more frustrating is being told, in effect, that I have no choice but to deal with the situation, despite the inconvenience and the amount of time I have already waited.
I have now made the decision to remove my vehicle from AAMCO and return it to the Nissan service department, meaning I will have to pay out of pocket again to move forward with the necessary repairs.
I understand that unexpected complications can arise during vehicle repairs. However, I also expect clear communication, accountability, reasonable timelines, and a genuine effort to resolve issues when they occur. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
I appreciate the assistance provided in arranging the initial pickup and attempting the repairs, but the extended wait, repeated complications, and lack of a definitive completion date are unacceptable. I can no longer afford to leave my vehicle at a facility that cannot provide a reasonable timeline for getting it back on the road.
Based on my experience, I would caution others about choosing this location if they depend on their vehicle for daily transportation and need reliable repair timelines and communication. I went to AAMCO hoping to save money compared with the dealership, but the experience has resulted in significant delays, additional expenses, and considerable frustration.
Overall, this has been a disappointing experience, and I expected much better service, communication, and accountability.
