I have used AAMCO Fullerton in the past to rebuild the transmission and transfer case for my daughter's vehicle. Prior to performing the repairs, they did call to offer other less expensive options. The repairs were done quickly and completed as promised. They also provided after care instructions.I recently brought my 2016 4runner in because the engine light and trac off light appeared at the same time. They called me later in the day advising me that the problem was a loose gas cap. They cleared all of the error codes and test drove the vehicle to ensure the problem was fixed. Basically, they fixed something that was my fault but didn't charge me. That proved to me that they are an honest reputable business that has earned my trust.I especially want to compliment Rose in the office. She is extremely professional/knowledgeable and friendly. She explains the process and always communicates as promised.AAMCO Fullerton is the only place I will take my vehicles for all future repairs/maintenance.

My Jeep wrangler started shaking pretty intensely and I took it to the Jeep dealership and they quoted me an insane amount, with little explanation as to what the issues were. Brought it to Rose and Adrian and they were able to explain to me what exactly were the issues and how they would fix them! Amazing customer service and will definitely be bringing my car back whenever I need service. My car is driving smooth and steady and I can t thank Rose and Adrian enough!

If you need your car repaired this is the place to go! I've had three of my vehicles repaired here and there's no funny business going on. They have a tow service that is complementary if you decide to get your vehicle fixed there. The technicians are pretty quick to diagnose and let you know what's going on full communication before they do anything. I've even had them tell me what's important to fix and what can wait to help save me money. I really appreciate their transparency and communication. Like I said I've had three cars repaired here and always refer my family and friends to this location.

Really liked the way they were honest explaining what was actually wrong with my 2003 Toyota Rav4 (check engine light came on only hours after we purchased). Thought it was the transmission turned out to be the engine control module.

I had a great experience, Adrian was very informative. It only took 2 days for them to pull out, fully rebuild and install. I'm more than happy

I initially thought I had a problem with my transmission but it turned out to be a very complex electrical issue.For some reason I kept losing communication to my transmission control module. Code U101. It would not connect to my cars ECM so I was only able to drive in-limp mode and at limited speeds up to 40 miles an hour. The car would also not shift out of first gear.I tasked Adrain with this problem after many other auto repair shops fail to correctly diagnose the problem. AAMCO Fullerton was able to troubleshoot and find why I was losing connection to the TCM.Most people would ve given up on the vehicle and sent it to the junk as I was almost there myself. Fortunately, Adrian and his team figured out why I was losing communication with the TCM which i later found out was common problem on the later Chevy models.Adrian and Rose were very transparent and more than patient helping me and helped me figure out what the issue.I don t care what anybody says on here Adrain is a master mechanic and great technician.His team spent hours tracing down the issue by checking all the systems and narrowed it down to the TCM wire harness.The wire harness connector was not making connections with the actual TCM for some reason we replaced it and that fixed the problem for me and at a very fair price.Aamco of Fullerton has done several jobs for me and I will always recommend family and friends to Adrain and his team.If you have a small transmission issue or any other auto repair issues to a major technical issue like I did, send your car to AAMCO Fullerton, Adrian and Rose will definitely take care of you re vehicle for you.I am very happy and satisfied if I can give them 10 stars I would. Thank you so much Aamco of Fullerton.

We took one of our Ford service vans in for some repairs. They took it in and had to look hard for the parts to fix it. The van is only a 2020 and worked hard. They fixed it right up, and it's driving so much better now. Rose was great to work with, and she gave up updates as they worked on it. Thank you!!

I brought my daughter's Chevy into AAMCO to get a timing chain replaced, Thursday, August 17th and before the weekend, I was called and told which services were recommended. The issues and quote given was significantly less than what I was told by the Chevy dealership. I previously had two unsuccessful experiences trying to get her car fixed and was given estimates that varied from $3k to $11k! Insane considering I only purchased in April and the car isn't worth over 6k. To my surprise, the car didn't even need a new timing chain. Luckily, I called AAMCO just to see if they provided this service, and to my surprise, they do more than transmissions. Rose was my first point of contact and thankfully she was consistently in communication with me about everything. Though there was a tropical storm coming, the mechanics still made a way to get my daughter's car fixed before returning to school. I am Truly grateful for Rose and the staff at AAMCO in Fullerton.Service: Air & cabin filter replacement

I had a few different issues with a vehicle I bought back from Arizona. First was the transmission. The car needed a transmission so I originally took it to a shop that offered a cheaper price. That was not a good decision, that shop had my car for a little over eight months until I finally decided that that wasn t the shop for me. I then came to AAMCO.Rose is awesome, she took the car in immediately. I just drove in and they seen me. They asked me to leave the car there for about a day or two so they can give me a diagnostic free of charge.Adrian is awesome as well he is in charge of the shop technicians, he called me and said there were a couple of options depending on what I would like to do. I love the fact they were being very transparent.They gave me the options that would work with my financial ability. About a week later they called me and the car was fixed.I Received the car and it drove very well. The car was basically perfect so much so I decided to get another issue with the car fixed as well.I needed an AC compressor. I went to multiple shops and they charged me to diagnose the problem with my AC but never fixed it.I went back to Aamco not thinking I should have asked them originally if they could fix this. They said sure they would try to fill it up with freon for me, If it worked then they would go ahead and I would be all right with it. if not, they would have me come on back. I tried that after a couple weeks the Freon leaked meaning the AC compressor was just not good. It had a lot of miles so that was a hard diagnosis. They didn t charge me for another assessment they just went ahead and did an another assessment and noticed that the AC compressor was indeed bad as it stop blowing cold air after a while of driving it. Great find by the way.They gave me a reasonable price. I am now very happy and ready for the summer.This is the auto repair shop we all want to find. Honest, reliable & trustworthy. It s not the cheapest but In The long run, we will pay more if we spend a lot of money throwing parts at the problem with shady shops like the one I originally went to and it s still not fixed right. Just stop in give them a try trust me you will not be disappointed.I was very happy with my experience s Thank you Rose and Adrian!Services: Transmission, Air conditioning

Rose at AAMCO was so helpful when I needed it the most! I was being quoted around $3,000 for a service at HONDA and AAMCO did it for a fraction of the price and even offered me a free tow from the dealership to their shop. Rose always kept me in the loop and gave me prices on after market and OEM parts. She is very knowledgeable and super sweet! Overall my experience here was great and I will definitely be using their services next time I need it. Thanks so much!!Service: Transmission

I had such a positive experience with AAMCO Fullerton. I brought my car in because the shifter would not go past the neutral position. I thought it was a transmission problem because my car was leaking fluid. I was greeted by Rose who is so friendly and understanding. I was told it was not a transmission issue, but an electrical shifter issue and that my gearshift would need to be replaced. The leak was from my oil cap being loose. I had the shifter replaced and new oil put in my car. Rose was very transparent with me regarding work and the cost. The mechanics and technicians went above and beyond. They had my car ready in just a few days and I have had no problems with my car. I highly recommend AAMCO Fullerton. They are professional, courteous, efficient, and have integrity.

This place was wonderful. Rose really helped me out. She let me know how long the repair would take, how much it cost, and she delivered the vehicle on time. My car is driving great and I appreciate the mechanics as well as the professional and courteous service.

The girl at the front desk was so friendly and all the mechanics were all ice and helpful to. Next time I need a car repair I will take it here. Excellent service.Service: Body & Trim

Besides my transmission service being well over due, I went in because I thought I felt it slip. Manager was great in explaining to me what they will do and if they come across any issues they will stop and explain everything to me. No issues. Transmission service complete. I can feel the difference. Running alot smoother. The manager also recommended a great breakfast spot, George's, around the corner. It was great, thanks for the recommendation

Avoid at all cost unless you know 100% sure what is wrong with your car and how much it should cost to fix. If you don t they will try to scam their way to get more money from the customer, they claim to have a specialist a guy named Adrian who is definitely not a specialist at all and doesn t for a fact tell you what exactly is wrong with your car, he states that this could be wrong or this or this.

I was very impressed by Rick and his honesty. He was upfront and informed me that until he checked the car out he won't know what is wrong. After checking it out he found that an axel was broken and replaced it. He test drove the car after the repair and confirmed that everything else was working fine. I'm thankful for his honesty and thorough check of all the workings of my car.

In my experience, Aamco has always given excellent service. I had my 97 Dodge van transmission rebuilt, heavy duty with new external cooler, for $4,300. Not the cheapest out there, but it comes with a 3-year warranty, as long as you keep a yearly checkup schedule that will run about $200.. well.... that's my 2cents!

I was in desperate need of a full brake replacement and the manager, Rick, was nice enough to help me out on a Friday afternoon. They did a great job on my car and even let me borrow a phone charger when my phone died while waiting in the lobby. Above and beyond excellent customer service!

Rick the manager was very communicative, honest, and friendly. He fixed more than what I had come in to do because he saw a problem that I knew needed fixing. My car was done in a very timely manner. Thank u!

AVOID this place at all COSTS!!!!!! My boyfriend took his car in because the check engine light came on, at first the technician, Rick was very friendly offered a free diagnosis and provided a hand written quote.We decided to have the care repaired there since it was near our house. He was told the job would take about a week because the sensor would have to be ordered but to our surprise the car was ready within a few hours. Less than 24 hours after picking the car up the check engine light comes back on!!! He called Rick to find out why and if the car had actually been worked on and of course friendly Rick is now defensive saying it could be something else and they can't tell the future!!! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!!! $650 down the drain. These people are a bunch of crooks looking to make a quick buck!!!

Rick and his crew took care of my transmission issues recently. His shop did a great job and quicker than the dealers estimate since my car mileage was over the manufacturers warranty. I am Uber and Lyft driver so time is money. Thanks Guys!

I brought my car in while the shop was super busy and I was so worried about my car. The customer service was exceptional and they took great care of my vehicle. Very transparent before performing any services and very fast with the service. I am so happy I found this shop in my neighborhood and I recommend them to anyone with car trouble.Service: Transmission

I went to get my engine light checked and knew that I was going to need some work done. I was seen by Rick, the manager and he helped me out so much! I even told him that I would not be able to afford it, but he still managed to take care of me and set me up with a payment plan that is affordable. Take advantage of the complimentary check!

Took my truck to the dealership I was told 6500 to have it replaced and it would be about 10 business days decided to take it to Aamco Fullerton since I heard good things about them. Truck was done for a couple thousand less and done in 4.5 days. Truck runs like new couldn t be happier. Major thumbs upService: TransmissionService: Transmission

The manager Aaron was great i.towed my truck there. Transmission problems. Well the diagnosis was bad. He reluctantly informed me I needed a new transmission. But the way he told me was what set him apart. He was genuinely sad to give me the news. I could tell immediatly based on our phone call and my visit that he. Is a good person and I'd never hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know. Kudos Aaron.
