I had another competitor's quote for $2100.00 Aamcos Arlington Hts, IL branch suggested a price to rebuild Mazda transmission at between $1500-$1900 but they needed to take down trans to see the exact nature of repairs needed. They said a "basic rebuild" would be $1545. Quote came back at $2379. At this early point I was already "stuck" with Aamco as I would have had to pay the $595 $85 towing to take my car elsewhere. After a few "extra" charges my
final bill was $2796.05, $696 over my competitive estimate and $896 over Aamco's up-front "guesstimate".
What a poor consumer model of locking customer in to the quote and then piling on charges. At the time I was
there another customer was in the process of suing Aamco because he had paid for three repairs and his trans was still not working properly. It's a wonder this dealer doesn't spend the majority of his time in court!
