They brought it to Dolphin transmissions for this reason and told them about both things. After 2 days of waiting, they get a call back saying the car is ready. Once they arrive they were prompted to pay $600 for the "service" they did on the car. Once the $600 was paid, they told them they parked the car over 5 blocks away and they had to go and retrieve the car. Once my parents got back to the Toyota and started it up, all the same things that they brought the car in for were still coming up on the dashboard and the tire was even flatter. They went back to Dolphin Transmissions to get an explanation as to why everything was the same exact way they dropped off the car and all the owner replied with was that "there was a clanking sound and we fixed the sound, no one told us about the maintenance required." When you turn on the car on every screen it says maintenance required so why else would they be bringing the car to you? My parents said this to them and they just replied with "no one told us about it, but it's saying that because it needs an oil change and we can do it for you for an extra $150." So then they said "what about the flat tire? Do I have to tell you to fix that too?" They were left speechless. My parents left and a day later Dolphin transmissions called them back promising to fix everything for free. What a joke. My parents are older folks who were clearly taken advantage of, had I known their car needed service I would have brought it to my guy to get it fixed same day. Stay Away !

Now Enter: Wesley A.K.A Sir Grover of the Five Boroughs. Calm. Grounded. Knighted by competence alone. He assessed the situation with the steady presence of someone who actually knows what they're doing. No theatrics. No posturing. Just focused, skilled work. The kind that immediately lowers your blood pressure because you can tell you're in capable hands. THEN! ...he transformed into Oscar of the Ethical.Gruff exterior energy, heart of gold. No upselling. No pressure. No weird "trust me, bro" fog. Just honesty, boundaries, and a clear sense of right and wrong -- which, in New York, is a spiritual experience, especially after this devastating snow storm, especially in these times where common sense ain't so common and people hoard common sense like toilet paper during Covid. And FINALLY he revealed his final form: The Count of Clear Explanations. One... clear explanation. Two... clear options. Three... a human being who understands what's happening to their own car. He broke everything down in actual layman's terms without making me feel small, slow, or clueless. I walked out understanding what was wrong with my car and why -- which is rare enough that I almost cried into my MetroCard. What stood out the most was the trust factor. I come from a family of cabbies and with my dad on his death bed, a car that still had payments on it, I still didn't have what I needed most -- a mechanic I could trust. A guy. Growing up around cars, I knew how important having "a guy" is, and today I think I found one. I never once felt like I was being played, rushed, or gently nudged toward something I didn't understand. In a city where finding a trustworthy mechanic can feel like dating in your 40s, this was a green-flag parade. They might have canceled Sesame Street this week, but we got the real SESAME STREETZ. (With a Z if you missed it) You can't cancel Sesame Street -- Ha! Let's see you try! Like ninja turtles it goes underground. And thank God for that, because the world still needs Sesame Street. So thanks, Wesley, for reminding me what real New York is about. So if you're looking for: real mechanical competence, clear, respectful communication, and someone whose ethics don't evaporate the second money enters the room... Congratulations. You've found your guy. Ten out of ten. HIGHLY RECCOMEND Would trust all three forms of this man with my chariot again. Great value

    Subject: Complaint Against AAMCO Location at 1266 Ralph Ave, Brooklyn, NY…read more To Whom It May Concern, On August 22, 2025, at approximately 8:35 a.m., I arrived at the AAMCO located at 1266 Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, NY for a scheduled 9:00 a.m. appointment to have my transmission fluid checked. I checked in with the receptionist, Nakita, who confirmed my appointment. I explained that I needed to leave within two hours to pick up my son from school, and she acknowledged this. I asked her for an approximate cost if a transmission fluid change was needed. She replied that she had no idea. I was then referred to the office manager (a heavyset, balding Hispanic male), but when I asked him for an estimate, he gave evasive responses such as, "It might be very expensive, we have to do the complete diagnostic on your vehicle, we don't know what it might need until we do it." I simply wanted a general price range but was not given any clear information. After waiting 2.5 hours, I noticed my car had not been worked on and was still sitting untouched. I explained to the receptionist that I needed to leave and asked to pay for whatever had been done so far. She told me I could not leave until they were finished. At this point, the service manager approached me and told me: "Take your car and don't come back here. Y'all [N-words] be bugging." I told him I was willing to pay for any services performed, but he refused, saying: "Your money's not good here, just don't come back here. We don't need your kind of money." I left the location feeling humiliated, discriminated against, and deeply disappointed. Not only was my appointment disregarded, but I was also subjected to racially offensive and discriminatory treatment by the staff. I am requesting: 1. A formal investigation into this incident. 2. A written apology from AAMCO and the staff involved. 3. Assurance that disciplinary action and sensitivity training will be taken to prevent such treatment of other customers. I trusted AAMCO with my business and instead was treated with blatant disrespect. I expect this matter to be taken seriously and addressed immediately. Sincerely, Mr.Dupree

Anything higher than 1 star is someone Azi, or Ozzie asked to give him a good review. If this place is so great, why is the business always empty? This is a prime location, and I have NEVER seen cars lined up to be repaired there. I had my transmission rebuilt in October 2022 with a six-month warranty. A couple of weeks ago, the transmission was messed up again. I had the car towed, and Azi or Ozzie called me and told me it was the line to the transmission and not the transmission. He said he had already fixed it without consulting me first. The lines are not included in the warranty, which he did not replace when he rebuilt the transmission (if it was rebuilt the first time). He also said my car needed oil (which he claims he added) and other fluids and included it in the price. All of this was without my consent, and we didn't pay for it either when we picked up the car. Two days later, I heard this shaking sound underneath the car, and then the car started smoking. I thought the plate underneath the car was improperly secured when they changed the lines. I got out of the car, and all the fluid leaked out. I called him, and he said it was the water pump. Shocking, right? How could he diagnose it by phone? It could have been the radiator, a hose, or something completely unrelated. I think he damaged the water pump when he changed the lines two days prior, so he knew what the issue was when I called. Again, I had the car towed; low and behold, it was the water pump. He tried to charge us $550 to have someone replace it. That was not happening!!! So, again I had my car towed to my regular mechanic in Queens. I should have had it towed there initially, but I thought Azi would be honorable and admit he screwed up. Instead, he wanted to drain us for more money. I had the water pumped fixed in Queens for $325. I am big on a person's energy and spirit. This guy's energy is wicked, and he is money hungry. So please take my advice and do not take your car here, and if you do, do not leave your car while they work on it.
