Your website is great!!! I've got a story for you. West boca raton aamco, in south florida. Do not go here!!! In august of my wife bought her 1983 944 porsche in for a transmission problem, at my suggestion. Car is a 5 speed. Her car would not shift into 2nd, 4th, or reverse.
I know nothing about transmissions, but the problem happened suddenly, and to me, it sounded like a loose connection somewhere. She left her car at aamco, and they told her later that day, that the transmission was bad internally, and it would be at least $800.00 to remove and inspect the transmission. She called me at work, and i told her that they were full of $#. So i called them, and the manager told me that there was an internal problem. "i asked him if he even knew what was wrong. He said, "could be synchros (b.S.-they don't fail all of a sudden), or could be clutch" (b.S.- 6 months old). This guy was just giving me a bunch of generic reasons. Either they never looked at the car, and tryed to scam my wife; or they have no idea of what they are doing. I called my wife back, and said, "get the car, they don't know what they are doing".
On her way home, the car broke down in the middle of a busy intersection. She called me, frustrated and crying. I left my job, drove out to where she was, and went under her car, without a jack. I found the problem, and had it fixed in 2 minutes. A loose bolt was the only problem. I have absolutely NO TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCE, and fixed it in the middle of a street!!! AAMCO has trained technicians, and the car was supposedly up on a lift, and they wanted $800.00, for a bolt?!?!?!
AAMCO, SHOULD BE SC-AAMCO!!! It was lucky that i saw the scam in the making, before aamco had a chance to take me for any money. This is the only business that i've ever, ever had to make a claim against, and i want people to know, be aware of this chain. Yes, there are good aamco's out there, but not in west boca raton, florida. Use caution, and get a second opinion. Once again, great, great service you are doing with this website. And if aamco wants to sue me, BRING IT ON.
P.S.-month later, car running perfect, thanx to a 2 minute fix.
