As I was calling around to find a place that offered same-day car inspections, I was pleasantly…read moresurprised that 17th Street Automotive offered scheduled appointments for inspections with same-day service. Normally with car inspections, I have to drop my car off at an auto-body shop and pick it up the next day due to the "first come, first serve" policy but I didn't have that option so I booked an appointment with 17th Street Automotive for the same day. As soon as I walked into the office, I was happily greeted by Kristen and another worker. They both were extremely pleasant and personable. I was quoted a service time of about an hour and a half and was offered beverages while I wait, which was a very nice gesture. My state inspection was completed after an hour and a half, just as they quoted me. Kristen was very informative with the things they found during the inspection and with how amazing their customer service was, I would definitely return to get my car serviced with them. I was given a free car freshener once the service was complete and told them I would tell everyone I knew about the exceptional experience I had with their business. If you are looking for same-day inspections or in need of any car services, I highly recommend checking out 17th Street Automotive.

Completely unacceptable, frustrating experience…read more I paid $1,338 for front brakes and calipers, and within six months I was still having braking issues. When I returned, they replaced only one front rotor under warranty. After a third visit for the same braking noise/vibration, I was told the problem was my rear brakes, even though those had been replaced only three months earlier at another shop. I then went to three independent shops, and all confirmed the real issue was a warped front rotor (the one not replaced the second time I brought it in). This should've been fixed the second or third time I brought it in. Instead they shifted blame to another shop, in which their work was confirmed to be fine. And for the price I paid, I shouldn't have had to bring it in multiple times for the same issue. Still after three visits and over $1,300 spent, my issue was still not properly fixed. The only good thing about this experience was that it was under warranty, and another shop was able to fix my brakes properly. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before trusting this shop, and if possible save your time and go elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I had an identical unpleasant experience this time as I had with the previous vehicle when the first AAMCO repair did not resolve the problem. However unlike the first vehicle, the second repair on this vehicle didn't fix the transmission problem either. Nor did the third AAMCO repair- each one taking a week or more, requiring me to find alternate transport, etc. In exasperation, I finally told them I would like to just take my car to another (non-AAMOC) shop. They agreed and ended up paying for the repair there which was done right the first time. (Shocking!) AAMCO -- Never again.

Insanity ensues!…read more Look, I get it... a shop has the right to make a profit on the parts they install. However, there's an honest profit, and there's a "bend over, son... this won't hurt too much." I'm looking to have a clutch installed in an old truck of mine. It's not out yet, but I fear it's on its way. It's no longer a daily driver, but it's still a good, solid, clean, reliable truck I'd like to hang onto. So, a new clutch is in order. Now for those of you who are mechanically inclined, you know this isn't rocket science, but it's still a tall order. In fact, a few people reading this might even know the knuckle damage required when replacing a clutch laying on your back in your driveway. Can I get a witness? Yup... me too! However, that was a few lifetimes ago. It's a lot of work, and it requires a lift, a tranny jack, and some elbow grease. None of which I possess these days, so I'd prefer to take it to the pros. Here's the glitch. Labor? 600 bucks! Yup, 100 dollars an hour. That's pretty much the standard these days, I get it, and I can swing it. The parts, on the other hand? Crook city! Flat out extortion! Look up any clutch kit at any auto parts store. They're all right at 245 bucks. That's retail, mind you. There's already profit figured into that price. A shop like this would pay wholesale. Now I don't claim to know what that is, but I bet this shop could buy that clutch kit for right at 200 bucks. So, though math isn't my strong suit, that's about a 20% markup. So, without lifting a finger they make money. I can see them charging even more, maybe dialing that baby up to 300 bucks, which means they just made roughly 100 bucks without lifting a finger. Are you following me so far? Great! Now guess what they wanted to charge me? Go on... take a stab! Wrong! Try again! Wrong! Try again! Wrong! These jack wagons wanted to charge me 622.50 for a part that costs them 200. A 400 dollar profit on a 200 dollar part. What do you all call this? Capitalism? Hey, I'm a staunch supporter of it! But this ain't your average joint trying to make a few bucks, this is flat out dishonest BS! When discussing that on the phone the lady didn't have an answer, so she passed the buck to someone else. He tried to spin some crazy BS about some 1.8 markup range, which he couldn't elaborate on. 1.8 times the value? Again, BS! They're already making a profit between wholesale at 200 to the recommended retail value of 245. On top of this they charge a "shop fee." Ok, however you want to spin the cost of shop rags, grease sweep and so on, I get it. But the lady said it's based on a percentage of the parts' cost. What??? What kind of crookenese is this? The more expensive the part, the more they charge you. It has nothing to do with the actual supplies used, because that would be based on how long the job took. Just so we're all understanding this scam, a 2,000 dollar transmission would require twice as much shop supplies as a 1,000 dollar transmission? How? Impossible! Here's the deal, I'm pretty sure Mr. Transmission is a franchise. It's an independently owned franchise. If it were a corporate owned store some integrity would be present. However, since it's independently owned, the owners can gouge the livin' hell out of people all they want. I really wish the franchise folk at the top would read this. I'm pretty sure they'd frown upon this horse $hit! Folks, don't reward them with your business, they don't deserve it. Cheers!
