They spent 2 1/2 days trying to duplicate and isolate the problem, thoroughly checked the external wiring harness, and tested the suspected speed sensor. Everything checked out and the transmission continued to operate normally. Rather than guess or start replacing parts at my expense, they installed a used but known-good speed sensor they had available and told me to drive it and come back if the problem returns. At that point they can continue troubleshooting with at least two possible causes eliminated. Sometimes the best repair shop is the one willing to say, "We can't reproduce the problem, the transmission is functioning normally, and we don't want to charge you for work we can't justify." Five stars earned.

I am writing this review to warn future customers about my unacceptable experience with Affordable…read moreTransmission and Auto Repair Center regarding an ATRA nationwide warranty repair. Background and Initial Service: My vehicle's transmission was rebuilt a few months ago by a different authorized ATRA shop. Due to a recent move, the original shop authorized me to bring the car to this affiliate location, a 30-mile drive from my new home, for a warranty diagnosis. Upon drop-off on 11/18/2025, the front desk employee immediately became cold and dismissive when I mentioned the words "warranty repair." The Issue & The Refusal to Diagnose: The problem is specific and reproducible: when the car is cold, driving downhill causes the transmission to shift into what feels like neutral. Pressing the gas results in rising RPMs but no movement, forcing me to shut the engine off and restart it to re-engage the drive. After two days, I received a call informing me they could not reproduce the issue and were refusing to work on the car. I explained to Miguel that the condition requires a cold start and a specific downhill coast, asking them to try again or keep the car longer. He flatly refused any further testing, stating they were done with the vehicle. Integrity Violation and Fraudulent Documentation: Since they refused to honor the warranty, I requested a written reason for the denial of service, which is standard procedure. Miguel went to review my paperwork. When he returned, he presented a form and demanded I sign it before he would provide any written explanation. This form was an explicit waiver where I would acknowledge that the issue I claimed was not present and that their testing proved my claim was false. I refused to sign a document that was contrary to reality, as the transmission issue is demonstrably still present. The Threat and Escalation: Because I refused to sign the false waiver, Miguel refused to give me any written denial and escalated the situation. He told me he wouldn't help me anymore because I was "not a nice person." When I stated I would write an accurate review of this unprofessional experience, he raised his voice and began threatening me: Threats of litigation. Explicit threats of physical harm to myself and/or my property at my home. Threats to contact my employer to have me fired. I immediately took my keys and walked to my car, with Miguel following me out of the office, continuing to curse and issue threats. This behavior is far beyond poor customer service; it is menacing, unprofessional, and a direct failure to honor the ATRA warranty program. The shop refused to perform due diligence, attempted to force me to sign a false legal document, and threatened my physical safety. Avoid this business at all costs.

First of all, this review is for people who are used to going to typical auto shops. You'll have a…read morebetter experience if you know what you're getting into. Alberto's isn't your typical automotive shop. There's no waiting room and it's kind of difficult to find. That being said, the father and son who run the shop were very nice and efficient. My husband took our vehicle in for an oil change. The price wasn't cheap, but it seemed about what other shops were quoting so it was fair. And everything is more expensive right now. It's always scary trying to find a new automotive place. We picked Alberto's because the Yelp profile said they had a waiting room and their reviews were good and they had supposedly been in business 20 years. I think their Yelp profile needs updating because they don't have a waiting room and the father told us they've been in business 2 and a half years and the son said 4 and a half but Yelp said 20 years. So we don't know what to believe, but they did a great job! :D I don't want to give the wrong impression. We would go back there again for an oil change. We prefer supporting small businesses. I just think you need to be aware of what you're getting into so you're prepared for what the experience will be so you don't judge them too harshly.

The owner Haroon is a complete scam artist. The BAR association of California has been trying to stop these guys unprofessional business practices for years but they keep changing their bar number and owner information/shop location so they keep getting away with scamming people. Please don't let them steal from you like they did to me. They refuse to uphold THEIR WARRANTY and refuse to reimburse for the negligent work they did to my vehicle. Please do not take your car to any AAMCO that Haroon is operating(used to be on Division street in Lancaster is now at Trevor Ave in Lancaster)Haroon is a complete waste of skin and his business operations are negligent and he will leave you with an empty wallet and a broken vehicle. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. If I could leave negative stars I would. This place is an absolute joke. They said my vehicle was ready for pick up with no leaks and runs just fine when in fact it barely starts, leaks oils like a siv, and they cut wiring to my headlights, they 'replaced many parts' but refuse to give me the paperwork showing they purchased new parts to put on my vehicle, they refuse to give me work orders from the shops they apparently use to prove they worked on my vehicle. Please do not let Haroon scam you. This shop does faulty work and is highly unprofessional when it comes to the customer wanting their vehicle to be working properly after $20k spent to a scammer.
