Aamco Transmission - Lots of hassle they blow me off ripoff business I feel abused & mistreated

Cars & Transport

Dropped off pick-up on Jan 16 to have clutch repaired. First time (three weeks later) it came back, it wasn't working so I took it to another mechanic who told me there was a serious oil leak dripping on the clutch line. But I took it back to Aamco since it was under the 90 day warranty. I told them about what the other mechanic had said, but about two weeks later they called to say that the engine had mysteriously seized and needed to be replaced. I'm sure they didn't bother to check the oil (why else would it seize?) but they insisted that wasn't the problem. They replaced the engine although they didn't make me pay for labor (feeling guilty?). However, the clutch still gave me problems. It only had problems when the temp dropped below a certain mark (so it wasn't consistent) and several times they tried to blow me off, saying the problem was all in my head. FINALLY, about 6 months later, I got them to acknowledge that there was still a problem with the clutch and, as it turned out, they were using the wrong part (they said they just switched brands to get it to work, but they must have had a bad size or something.) The whole thing ended up costing $2100.00. But wait, there's more. About six months later the head gasket burst and had to be replaced ($1000.00) and the air conditioning isn't working ($674.00 now for that). Whose to say if ALL these things are related to the Aamco "repair" but when I called back about the head gasket to see if they would help me out, they just blew me off (shocking.)

These guys have never apologized for anything. Treated me like an idiot, and did poor work. Save yourself. Flee Aamco of Wheaton.
