| - Several weeks ago the "check engine" light on my 2006 Impala showed codes for possible transmission problems. Based on the great Yelp reviews I drove 110 miles to this AAMCO to have it checked out. Just prior to my arrival the "check engine" light went out. The owner, Scott, had one of his technicians test drive it. He couldn't find anything wrong. Scott said there would be no charge, but to bring it back if the light came back on.
Last week the light came back on and I took the car to a local Auto Zone to get a print out of the problem, which indicated two potential transmission issues (after which the light went out again). Last week I returned to AAMCO and gave him the error code printout from Auto Zone. Scott had a technician inspect various parts of the transmission. The cause of the periodic "check engine" light was narrowed down to several possibilities. Scott recommended that, since it seemed to be running OK at the moment it would not be cost effective to go further and start fixing things, running up a bill with no guarantee that it would correct the problem. He gave me some paperwork to take with me spelling out the potential issues. Scott said that since he couldn't fix anything for me there would be no charge. The thing is, by having his technician spend the time to diagnose the problem and providing me with the results, I believe he really did help me going forward. Oh, and not only that. while checking for the original problem the AAMCO technician fixed a sloppy shift lever, which now shifts precisely and perfectly. Even so, Scott did not charge me even for that service!
I cannot praise this business highly enough. Two visits with quick, efficient, honest and competent service - and no charge - both times. I learned that this AAMCO can service anything on the vehicle except tires. If I have any vehicle problems in the future, I will definitely bring it here.
