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. Coming to AAMCO for routine maintenance and repairs has been a great experience and I am always thankful for Derek and his team's honesty, transparency, and professionalism.

I was referred to Alan for diagnosis and repair for my BMW 7 Series drivetrain and transmission…read morefaults. Previous diagnosis from independent service shops all pointed to full replacement of transmission and mechatronics unit. When driving the car, I always felt like I was dealing with some type of poor electrical contacts. I also feel like others who had previously diagnosed the car had come to the same conclusion but had concern about capabilities and abilities to warranty work. Alan and his team to the rescue! Dug into the transmission and came back with not only really firm diagnosis but also reported out that the transmission was in excellent condition. He also complimented me on what he could tell was a well maintained example of a 7 Series. He was familiar with the symptoms, vehicle and solutions. I'm am roughly 8 months into enjoying my vehicle after a couple of really frustrating years of trying to find an honest and reliable place to just tell me the truth and give me a fair price! Alan, as discussed when you took care of my BMW, I have another vehicle with the exact same symptoms thar will be coming your way. Hopefully this review will encourage other having electrical issues tied to their drivetrain to give Alan a call!

We had 4 cars we took there and always had confidence in the work. Jon's gone and I'm stunned with the change in service now. They don't offer an online list out of items inspected including pictures showing what they've found, and recommendations for work needing to be done. They don't text you with an estimate. They don't call if you need something replaced; you find out only after you show up. The customer service is gone. But it's worse than that. But what really shocked me up was opening up the hood of my car to add some washer fluid only to notice the air filter housing was still unclipped, which seemed negligent. But opening the housing I discovered the air filter was missing entirely! They serviced my car 5000 miles ago and my car didn't have an air filter put in. I was just planning on taking it in for service but it won't be with them now. I'm livid! I'm done with Diablo Auto Specialists, or Autoworx or whatever name change is going on there. I would never go back and would highly discourage anyone else from going there.

John always explains everything and is really honest about what absolutely has to be done and what can wait. Also really appreciate that we don't have to hound them about when the cars will be ready.

Very very highly recommend Diablo Auto Specialists!

Although I appreciate that they didn't charge a diagnostic fee, I'm really disappointed with my…read moreexperience. 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

They charged $280 just to diagnose it, and even then, they weren't able to actually fix the problem because they said they couldn't find the part. For a car as basic and common as a Ford Focus, that didn't sit right with me. What was more disappointing was the overall experience. The communication wasn't helpful, and the attitude felt dismissive rather than solution-oriented. If you're going to charge that much for diagnosis, I would expect clearer answers or at least some guidance on next steps. It also felt like their focus has shifted since moving locations. There seemed to be a lot of attention on vintage and specialty vehicles, and less interest in helping someone with a standard daily driver. At this point, I'm getting a second opinion because I don't feel confident in the diagnosis or the value of the service provided.
