On 6/5/02, I took my car to Aamco Transmissions for transmission service suggested by Jiffy Lube and to find the source of a noise I was hearing when I drove at a reduced speed (5 or so miles p/hr.) or when coming to a stop.
Outside of the noise, my car drove perfectly. On the evening of 6/6/02, I picked my car up from Aamco and was charged $267.30 for Diagnostic Service, replacement of the driver's side axel one source of the noise), and replacement of transmission fluid. Outside of the need for break work, another source of noise, I was told there was no problem with my car.
The next day, the car went dead and I had to call a towing service. I called Aamco and asked what they had done to my car because I had absolutely no problem with drivability.
They towed it into their shop, called me the following day and said the problem was my battery. I told them I had recently purchased a new battery, and if there was a problem, it was caused by them.
Then, they tried to tell me I had a problem with my alternator. All of this, after just doing a diagnostic and telling me the car was o.K. Of course, it's their word against mine. I may have to replace parts that were working just fine until they got their hands on them.
My car is a 1995 Nissan Altima, on which I have 45,498 miles, as I primarily use it just to drive to and from work or the market.
