I had my mom's 2005 Kia Sedona towed to AAMCO Transmissions doing business as R & L Transmissions Inc. I was told my car will be checked for free. Two day later I got a call from Mike and I was told by him he needed to pull down the transmission and the cost will be $450.00 however that amount would be deducted from the bill should I decide to use them. Mike then faxed me a paper to authorize the transmission be pulled down and the fee of $450.00 I signed the paperwork, gave him the last four digits of my Social Security Number and authorized him to charge the $450.00. However, a few days later Mike called me and advised me that he had fixed my mom's van and the total bill was $2,600.00 of which $1,400.00 - $1,600.00 was in labor only. I asked Mike why did I not get a written estimate faxed to me or even a phone call before the work was done on the van to my amazement this liar had the audacity to say he told me. NEVER was this a part of any conversation that I had with this man. I asked Mike why would I pay a company to fix my mom's van for $2,600.00 plus tax; when I could have gotten someone else to fix it for $1,800.00 total even with the $450.00 that they charged me to pull the engine down I would still be below what they charged. I expressed to Mike he first said he will be putting it on the computer and the computer should be able to tell him whats wrong with the van. I never heard why the computer the van was hooked-up to was not able to tell him what was wrong with the transmission. This company represents themselves as Transmission Experts they are full of it. They should say they are con-artist, theives, liars and RIP-OFF ARTIST. Don't be fooled!!!
