| - I should've listened to the other reviewers who said to leave this place in the dust.
I AM disappointed in their overall service I went there 12/15/17
Now, I gotta begin by sharing the good: They will tell you in writing what work they want to do on your car. (That's it!)
Now the bad: Manager Scott is purely focused on the $$$'s. Our interactions on the phone and email tell me that if the job's not at least $4K-$6K, he "ain't interested".
I brought in my 2006 Mazda5 (wagon)
He gave me 3 quotes: $7000, $5500, and $4200
I needed to replace my head gasket and machine the head. A big job, but not a big job if you know what I mean. In his last communication before he stopped returning calls/emails was this:
* if I went with the $4200 option, there would be "no warranty" and,
* if I didn't do everything on the list, He didn't want the job.
I asked if these items were "must haves" and he would not give me a straight answer.
I really felt pressured and when he offered financing, I said "okay, let's do it". Then I find that even his financier felt he was asking too much and would only approve $1400.
I know for a fact, that the work needed would be covered by the $1400 and I'd be back on the road. Did you know these guys charge $108/hour for labor???
I moved my car to another professional shop and they did the job.
Do NOT GO TO AAMCO ON VAN BUREN.
It cost me $200 and a ton of stress to get nothing from these guys!
