I have 2006, Chevy Avalanche. When hot, did not shift, just stuck on 3rd gear. The owner and the manager Steve, worked for almost 4 days to diagnose the problem and finally found an electrical wiring issues which was corrected and fixed. I thought it was going to cost a lot of money, but they were fair and honest about their charges and billed me about $375. Thank you for being honest and straight forward. I highly recommend them. They will not take advantage of you.

Had an AC problem and the guys were so quick and awesome at getting me in and doing the inspection to figure out what our vehicle needed! Very communicative and always used my name when talking on the phone or in person at the shop, which I found very personal & friendly. I will always recommend this shop to my friends and family in the local area!

As always AAMCO has been amazing. These people are for repeat customers. We have had 2 things now that thought would be so expensive to fix and once was a no charge since it was tightening a part and the other time was so cheap and the car runs amazingly. They do NOT up charge and try to sell you things you do not need. If anything I wonder how they make money because they help so much with no charge! We will forever come here and recommend all people to them!!!!

Absolutely outstanding service! This is a great local business. The rates for transmission rebuilds are incredibly competitive. They even offer towing services to get your vehicle to their location. I strongly recommend going with their lifetime warranty Even though it costs extra.. They communicate well, work quickly, and do top quality work. Strongly recommend.

I'm very pleased and happy on how prompt and efficient this shop is. Steven kept me up to date on everything. I highly recommend this shop not only for the work they've done on my 2019 Caravan but for the good costumer service and transparency. I will definitely be back again.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING YOUR VEHICLE TO AAMCO. Pay a little more money for rebuilt not repair of transmission @ AAMCO. I am not satisfied with their service, they had my car for a long time and I don t feel confident in keeping my car now.

Had an all around wonderful experience here! Our car had died in the parking lot across the street and AAMCO was very quick to help! They were extremely efficient in diagnosing the issue, quick in helping to resolve the issue and were even so kind to offer my 95 year old grandpa assistance to make sure he was comfortable while we were waiting. Andrew and Steve thank you so much for your help! We will definitely be coming back here for all of our car needs.

I went into this AAMCO location, and what greeted with a friendly and welcoming Hello from Steve and Andrew. I asked them to diagnose a transmission issue I was having with my truck and within a couple hours of dropping it off, they gave me call with a detailed diagnosis. FREE OF CHARGE. The crew there did an outstanding job and their quality of work is excellent. I was given better than a fair price, and felt overly satisfied with the entire process. The turn around time is quick and easy. Will be using them again in the future for all my automotive needs. Steve is an outstanding employee! Thank you!Service: Transmission

I traveled down from Northern Nevada, with my three young children. My car overheated right in front of their shop. I limped it across the street and asked them for help. I had no family in the area. The guy said he didn t have time and he recommend me just go buy a new car. Thank goodness Paradise Automotive was nearby.

I had a great experience here when I took in my 2014 Toyota Prius for the replacement of the engine timing cover. They did a complete diagnostic of my car, replaced the smaller necessary items and completed their work on time. Extremely friendly and experienced staff, who also gave me a great price for all the work that needed to be done.

I took my 1989 420SEL Mercedes for alternator change, I picked it up the following day, The carpet was shampoo two weeks ago but these guys messed up really good with their .... dirty and oily shoes. There are heavy black stain marks.IF YOU HAVE CLEAN & LIGHT COLOR CARPET, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE YOU WANT TO GO.

Nothing has been done to get this fixed my whole transmission is not working they're not guaranteed their work as they stated, and they're not fixing . AAMCO corp called, and The representative name Ashley recorded the call and stated that they can offer me 10% discount.I told her that I already spend money to have it rebuild the Transmission is not fix. I had to buy a emergency vehicle .

They quoted me a price. That price went up three times while in the shop.. for over a week. Needed to completely rebuild the transmission... Ended up paying over 4000. The price of a brand new transmission. Drove away and noticed a problem. I went in there multiple times over this as well. The had guy up front just sounds like he really cares.. that's what salesman do. I went in and they said that they "drove it around and there aren't any problems..". Also noticed 0 milage driven on the receipt. Thought that was weird.. well, having the same issue again. I wonder if they really rebuilt the whole transmission. I will be finding out shortly.

Great service, and right on time. Steve is a real cool guy who is honest and doesnt manipulate you for cash. They replaced a coolant apparatus and not only filled it with their own coolant, but added a quart of new oil at no charge. He also referred me to a cheap tire/allignment specialist. I recommend.Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

Had a great experience, Steve the manager is very nice and accommodating. Took my Nissan Sentra to get new breaks they did a FREE inspection telling me what I needed done and verifying with me before doing the work. Very punctual and all for a great price! Highly Recommend will absolutely be going back!

I contacted Steve at AAMCO in Capistrano Beach. My daughter was home from school and her car was in bad shape in several areas. The starter, breaks, oil pan gasket and motor mounts. Steve helped me prioritize the services that fit my budget and addressed the safety needs first. He provided prices and discounts to help me make the service decisions. The diagnosis was free. The estimate did not change. the service was performed on time and their were no surprises. Steve did not try to " scare me " with safety concern" pressures but informed me well enough to prioritize services needed. I had previously been to the dealership and online at Auto Zone in an attempt to " save money." I feel great about the service, the advice and with the overall result. I highly recommend AAMCO Capistrano Beach, CA for all your service needs. you will be treated fairly by an honest manager and company. Thank you Steve.

Steve and Andrew were very accommodating and thorough. I went for 3 months before taking my 2001 Dodge Ram to them as I am the type to usually do my own repairs, however, a transmission rebuild was out of my scope. I was very nervous about taking my truck to a shop and expressed that to them and they were sure to show me an entire list of parts replaced. I was very pleased with their service and how quickly the job was done ... 3 days! My old haus runs like new and I'm very pleased with the work. Worth every penny for the knowledge and security of know this old thing wont leave me stranded again.

Major auto repairs are costly and stressful. This location's poor communications, business practices and failure to meet commitments only added to the stress. I left my car there for a transmission replacement that I was told would take 3-4 days. Due to some travel, I let them have a few extra days if needed. When I returned 12 days after leaving the car it was not ready as promised. In addition to not calling me in advance of my arrival, I got an unsympathetic response from the service manager and told not to expect the car that day and to make other plans. He made it very clear this situation was not his fault. When I finally picked up the car, the owner was very apologetic about my experience and offered to make it up to me by extending a discount on other work that needed to be done. He said the service manager would call within an hour with the details. Two weeks have passed and no call. FYI, I was also required to pay the $3,600 repair bill in advance, giving me little leverage. You have many choices for auto repairs, I suggest this location not be one of them.

My daughter drove from Utah and experienced transmission issues on the way down to California. I was concerned that the car be repaired properly for her safe return. The AAMCO team did a thorough analysis to diagnose the problem and explained it in easy to understand terms. They fixed the car promptly and she made it home safely without further issues.Service: Transmission

Very dishonest and tried to scam me out of a lot of money. They obviously don t know what they are doing either. Thank goodness my vehicle was under warranty because I had to return it for the same reason why I took it here.. 3 TIMES

My car broke down for what I thought was no apparent reason, we had it towed Capo AAmco and thought this was going to be a huge expense...but they told my husband that my engine failure was because of a recall on my vehicle....thank you for being honest Steve and letting us know that the dealer had to fix it!! This was the second time Steve saved the day! Every time we have had car troubles they have been helpful, honest and reasonable!!Service: Transmission

My car completely gave out while I was driving my usual route to work. I took it into my regular mechanic who was no help other than telling me it's a transmission issue. I totally freaked out and went through the daunting task of trying to find a transmission specialist. When I spoke to Steve at AAMCO I was totally put at ease. He handled absolutely everything from getting my car towed from the shop, to offering me a rental car to working with my warranty and financing options. I was extremely impressed by the level of customer service and also the genuine care that I received and would highly recommend that if you run into the same issue I had...call Steve.
