On February 10 at 1:45 PM I introduced my 1989 Nissan Collection into AAMCO Transmissions for an estimation to repair the Next gear sticking. Firestone had examined the automobile earlier and decided the indication had a "synchro issue" but couldn't provide an estimation because they don't fix attacks. I believed this may be considered a repair within $100.
The AAMCO consultant (Ron) advised me he might execute a free estimation, but I'd need to abandon vehicle with him. I described the analysis from Firestone but he'd not provide ME-ANY concept of the restoration expense required. If he'd stated it'd charge $ I'd have stated I should delay since I have do not have the cash.
He named Business carrental and stated they'd pickmeup in 10 minutes. Operating being an independent company, I named my customer to tell them I'd be considered a couple of minutes overdue for the 2:30 PM visit. After 40 units I told Ron I'd simply return another period. Alternatively, he explained he named Hertz plus they could be therein five minutes (another delay strategy). At 2:45 PM an automobile from Business came and also the supervisor explained he advised Ron they were short-handed which it'd consider atleast half an hour to choose me-up. Obviously, they or Ron were laying. Since I have was postponed such a long time from this deceit, it seems I'll possibly shed might work revenue (I currently have to purchase this)
After making the vehicle at AAMCO, Ron named me and stated the fix might charge $650 as a whole work which $395 was to consider the indication aside to identify. What happened to my free estimation? Today my vehicle was split aside and that I was held hostage. Choosing to not repair the vehicle might nevertheless imply I've to pay for $400 simply to have it back WITHOUT ANY fix! He then stated the components will definitely cost $1313 therefore the whole with duty is $2072. I asked Ron easily might simply obtain a rebuilt sign place in for less cash, but stated it'd charge more (that was a rest). I came across an entire rebuilt indication I really could have purchased on the web having a 12-month guarantee for $550 which may have decreased my price significantly that will be how I discovered Ron lied in my experience! Before departing AAMCO Ron explained the indication function they did just had a 90-day guarantee. And so I was lied to so that they might cost me much more! After I described I actually donot have $2000 bucks he agreed to increase credit for that fix.
Our vehicle was currently split aside, I've no transport for function, and that I am kept hostage by AAMCO. I reluctantly decided to obtain the vehicle set as cheaply as you can. Ron stated the vehicle could be prepared Friday morning.By late Friday morning I named Ron and he explained these were still focusing on it. I named twice more that morning using the same response. Lastly Ron claims the vehicle could be prepared Sunday morning at 10 AM (2-14-09). By 10:30 AM Saturday, I chose to generate to AAMCO to determine that which was happening. The rental needed to be delivered before midday and so I wouldn't be billed to get a complete weekend versus the currently additional next time.
Rob then explained the Master Cylinder (which appeared to become fresh) was poor and needed to be changed. The Master Tube have been changed in the last year which means this appeared really peculiar. I expected for that component but didn't obtain it. After I was given the statement (today for much more cash!), I gave him a discount I obtained from AAMCO.com for $100 off any rebuilt transmission. I'd named AAMCO and was informed that any AAMCO store might recognize the discount. Ron stated he'd "currently provided mean $81 discount, " but he'd increase a $19 credit on any potential support. I stated that wouldn't be very helpful because it was improbable I'd actually be back. He declined to recognize the discount from AAMCO whatsoever.
After driving home in my own vehicle that reeked of fat and gas, I also found fat about the child car seat cover, controls, gearshift, and floorboards. I got the vehicle to get a try on Sunday 2-15-09 and also have discovered that I will have no-turn indicators along with a crying noise once the indication is in natural. As well as the 1st and 2nd things adhere so poor that I had been virtually struck in traffic after I was within an intersection and also the indication wouldn't interact.
To conclude, I had been initially lied to and so I wouldn't abandon AAMCO and today might work, I've been compelled in to a fix I can't afford, given credit I can't pay, necessary to maintain (and pay for) a rental-car longer than I had been initially informed, declined a discount supplied by AAMCO and was left having a dirty vehicle inside without any change indicators along with a damaged indication! Since I have was caught into repairing the vehicle with no option, I'd prefer to formally declare my 3-day right of rescission as reported by the Federal Trade Commission, stop any credit prolonged, return what's been completed and obtain my cash back. But, I've discovered the dog owner will not recognize any demands I've produced in this issue.
Following this, I'd not suggest AAMCO to anybody except my worst enemy.
