What can I say about these awesome mechanics. I suffered a whole year with my car having issues. It's been through 3 different mechanics ( Rob Green nissan, Craig's automotive)that thought they knew was wrong with my car, but were totally wrong, I was at a loss. I was told by a commercial tire mechanic that it was a transmission issue, and they couldn't fix it. I got a hold of Kevin at Aamco transmission, and they got me in quick. After them having it a day, they thought they knew was wrong and ended up being a bigger problem. They called hyundai up and spoke with them a couple of hours about my car, and hyundai told them that the transmission needed to be replaced. It would take 4 days to get it shipped to them. I gave them a week to get the transmission. I took it in on 4/8 and got it back on 4/9. They turn around time was quick. Loren and his team got everything that was wrong with my car fixed. Who knew a transmission would cause so many problems. I'm a customer for life, thanks to the crew at Aamco.

These guys provide phenomenal service. I was travelling halfway across the country when my driveshaft snapped on the interstate, they took me in right away and got me out as fast as possible. I really appreciated their awareness for the importance of my situation and donating their time to educate me on my car. Loren spent time to find me a replacement part that seemed harder to come by.I found myself in a less than ideal situation and these guys made it tolerable. Every staff member at Twin Falls AAMCO is kind and helpful, the shop is clean and dialed in. Huge thanks to Loren and Scott for helping me out and getting me back on the road!

It was my emergency, they had a full schedule, they took the time, and made me a priority. It is rare to find this kind of service these days. I can t thank them enough.On August 9th, my pathfinder died in an intersection. I got it restarted and went on my way until it died again. I parked and Googled mechanics in the area. I panicked as I am from California and was an hour away from where my friend moved to as well as we were headed back to California the next day. AAMCO came up as the closest to our location. It was late afternoon. I didn t read reviews; I just drove there. Loren was there to greet me and advised that they couldn t look at it until the next day. I told my story and soon he came back with Scott. Scott diagnosed it, did some research, and returned with what the issues were. Loren called Nissan and got the parts delivered to the store prior to the 5pm closing time. We had to come back because we left something in the car we needed. At this time, I got to see their customer lounge, oh my gosh! It was amazing! It was closing so I only got a glimpse of what they offered while you waited, but there was no doubt that this is a great spot to wait! The ladies there were very kind, with huge smiles, happy to help and wanting to take care of the customers! When I got to my car, I saw that Scott had my car all prepped and ready for the next morning! While they were fully booked, they took the time to save me and get me on the road in a very timely manner (my car was ready at 09:03)!I can t thank them enough. I enjoyed learning Loren s story, and I am grateful it brought him this location. Not only does this business do an awesome job at car care they know how to take care of people and that these days is a lost art!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

I called Leo at AAMCO after my car decided to lose its brakes and leak fluid. He said I could bring my car in that day. Of course, depending on the time I could get it to him, would depend on when they were able to look at it. He was able to get back to me the following day to tell me my brake lines and the hose needed replaced. He said he would order parts and it may be a day. I thought it would be a couple more days without my car...BUT A day after that, my car was fixed and ready to be on the road again by NOON. Only 2 days without my car for it to be repaired. I am thankful they were so efficient and fairly priced, too! I definitely recommend this business to anyone needing repairs. Thank you, again! :)Service: Brakes

My transmission blew in my promaster and I am a driver over the road. I came in on Monday and spoke with Loren and he went to work finding me a transmission for my van. He initially told me it would be til Friday. Then before business was over Monday he came to me and said transmission would be here Tuesday morning and he would have his guy work on it all day. They knew the importance of me getting back on the road I'd recommend this place to anyoneService: Transmission

I was sent away without even a quote!! They guy said he is way to busy to take more work on. Is it just the one Dude fixing everything himself or what!?!? They were rated as one of the best places for transmission issues. I would have been able to finance and they even offer a printable discount coupon for the Exact service I was in need of

I thought I d give these guys a shot and I m so glad I did! The detail shop did a fantastic job and were very reasonable with their pricing. There was no oil residue left on my dash and instrument panel like there is most places around town you go to. They were able to get stains out of the roof left by employees greasy hatsThey were able to change the oil while the truck was in there, which makes it a one stop shop for your car needs. They definitely earned a new customer from me!

We were on our way down to AZ hauling a 5th wheel, when west of Jerome our truck would not shift into high gear(overdrive). Loren got us in and they were able to diagnose the issue(which wasn't giving a check engine error because it was a faulty actuator which made the truck think the throttle was full open when it wasn't), get the part from Boise, get it installed and had us back on the road that afternoon. Thank you! Definitely recommend and if we ever have other issues with out truck and we are in Twin Falls, we will take it back to them.

My transmission blew a year ago and had these guys fix it. Every single time I go in there to get everything checked out everyone is so polite and welcoming. I have never seen this type of customer service where it s continued customer service and never disappoints. My car has ran well ever since and they always make sure everything is so well done and they even go the extra mile to wash my car. You guys are amazing and I highly recommend everyone to go here! And a huge shoutout to Leo who is amazing and makes sure I understand and answers all my questions clearly!Service: Transmission

We were stranded almost 600 miles from home with our new trailer and a bad transmission. Loren answered the phone on a Sunday. Heard our story and took care of us as quick as possible. Leo kept us informed along the way and made sure to give us the instructions on how to properly break on our new transmission. We got home safely and within the time we had to be away. Great customer service. Great shop.Service: Transmission

My transfer case blew out on I-84 between Boise and Twin Falls. We we're towed to the AAMCO in Twin Falls. Leo was great to work with and got our SUV back on the road within a week. He was extremely thorough in finding the part from a wrecked vehicle instead of just ordering a refurbished case. They answer the phone when you call and they really pay attention to details. We can highly recommend the AAMCO in Twin Falls. Thanks AAMCO team!

Great guys, reasonable prices, helped me out ASAP.I was in the middle of a couple thousand mile trip when my radiator blew. Complete loss, had to get towed to the nearest town, Twin Falls. The tow truck driver recommend this shop and they did not disappoint. The guys were so kind and worked quickly to get me back on the road. I was quite impressed. They even washed my car, again, impressed, as the little things they did to help me out and make me feel better during a low. I could not recommend them more and my car still runs like a champ.

Took my 01 F150 in for an ignition coil replacement. Hadn't done any real maintenance since I bought it and asked them to go through and check all the fluids etc. Leo called me to let me know that all the fluids looked new and weren't needing replaced - they could have said they did, I wouldn't have known any different. Very Honest and I will definately recommend them and use them for future work!Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

I was traveling cross country when I had some issues just East of Boise. Decided to limp it into Twin Falls and called these folks to see if they could figure out the issue witch I thought was the transmission. Was pulling a trailer and they had a secure place for me to put it while they checked it out. Mechanic took it out for a test drive and 95% believed it was the clutch fan. Only one clutch fan to be found in town for my truck. Yes indeed, mine was seized up. After a bit of time I was back on the road. I really appreciate how they got me in on a busy day and worked with me. From Leo the Manager to the mechanic and all other staff I really enjoyed learning about the area and the kind folks at this place. Thank you so much for helping me in my travels that made my final destination that more pleasurable. I can t thank you enough.

We hit a giant tumbleweed on the drive home to SLC from Boise, and the force cracked our radiator! We were towed to Twin Falls and chose the AAMCO shop based on its good reviews. They were backed up but called their local patrons to see if we could take priority, given that we had two kids and a baby and were stranded. They fixed the radiator in just a few hours and had us back on the road home. We appreciate this shop doing all it could to get us home!Service: Engine repair

Amazing experience working with these guys on my car. It took longer than they thought BUT they kept me updated on what was happening and were so professional in all our conversations. Kept going until the job was done right and very honest, ethical business. Would take my car to them again in a heartbeat! Hands down this is the easiest place I have ever worked with for a major car repair. Leo and the rest of them were great!

I've dealt with several mechanics in my life. Most not near as informing and caring as Loren and his crew!My Name is Alex, I live in the Jerome area. My pickup sat at a previous mechanic for 6 weeks before I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I did some shopping around and I came across Loren at AAMCO, I can't say enough good about the guy! I've already recommended to most of my family members that his shop is the way to go. I've never heard of a transmission being dropped one day, and then a new one slapped in, U joints replaced, oil changed, and a car wash in the course of 3 days. It really blew my mind! Not only that but he knew I had a budget and helped me out dearly to accommodate my needs. The replacement was very reasonably priced, I can definitely say that all services that were done to my truck were well "underpriced" and professionally taken care of. My transmission feels and shifts very well and I've noticed I have some power back in my truck! Thanks again Loren for amazing service! I hope to never have to bring my vehicle back for repairs (though it is inevitable) and I know exactly where I'll take it!Alex.

My husband and I and two dogs were driving home to Montana from Lake Tahoe. My suburban had a bad fuel pump and we broke down 39 miles from Twin Falls, Idaho on New Year's Eve.. We got towed in by Magic Valley towing thanks to AAA. They did a great job. We stayed at the Best Western. For two nights due to everything being closed on New Years.They were also great. AAMCO was right next to the Best Western. I called first thing in the morning to AAMCO on Jan 2. I talked with Leo. He said no problem we will get you in this morning and diagnose the problem and get you on the road. They did just that. They efficiently replaced my fuel pump and filter and worked us into their schedule and got is on the road. The suburban runs great! The next day I had a voice mail from Leo asking if we made it home safely and the car drove fine. I can't say enough how thankful we were to get in right away, they were able to fix our car and they followed up with us when we got home the next day. I would definitely recommend this place for your auto needs. Thank You AAMCO, Leo and the mechanic.!

We were on a road trip from Whidbey Island WA to Lake Powell Utah for a family house boat vacation. I was hauling my 17 foot boat behind my Suburban. We were south of Twin Falls going 75 on the Interstate when my truck started breaking down. I was just able to get the rig over the fogllne before it stopped running altogether. Scary as heck with big rigs flying by feet away. I will leave out the towing details but it was nerve-wracking. I had no idea where to get my truck and boat towed to. The Chevy dealer said they could look at it in a day or two and would charge"emergency" rates. No thanks. Spoke to Leo Williams at AAMCO in Twin Falls. He understood my predicament and promised to at least look at it that day. This was in the afternoon. We got it towed to Leo's shop where he had to squeeze me in to look at the truck. Fuel pump failed. Told me he could hopefully get it done by 1 the following day. Not a simple job on a Suburban. You have to drop the tank, which of course I had just filled with 40 gallons of gas. Had to get two hotel rooms for the night, but we were able to walk there at least. Got a call at 1030 the next morning that the truck was done. Got the truck and the boat and we were only half a day behind on our house boat vacation. I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, kindness, and alacrity demonstrated by Leo and his crew. I promised to write a review and here it is. Our vacation was saved thanks to Leo. I am truly thankful that I chose his shop to get towed to. Also, the price was totally reasonable, not cheap, but absolutely fair. They even saved most of my gas.Services: Electrical, Engine repair

My car was towed an hour away to this shop. Leo made several phone calls that kept me updated on the status of my vehicle. The information was prompt, clear, and appreciated. It was good to find that level of professionalism. The follow up call on how my car was working is a great touch. Glad to recommend.

They have great customer service with really friendly employees. Not only did they tell me what the actual problem was but they took me to see for myself what the damage was. In total my car took 4 hours to get fixed, I was informed the whole time by the front desk on what was happening and how much longer, I never felt ignored or forgotten! They also have a huge waiting area with comfy couch and kids corner. All in all I appreciate good service/ work I will definitely go back again and will recommend them to everyone.

Back in November right before Thanksgiving my car was having a lot a issues and wouldn't stay running. I took it to another mechanic in town and he tried to charge me a lot of money up front for new parts for my car. I couldn't afford to pay all that so I was recommended to go to AAMCO to have it looked at. I turned my car into Leo on a Thursday night and he called me back Friday morning saying they had fixed my car!!! I went in and drove it around and they had indeed completely fixed my car in less than 24 hours for a much smaller price without replacing any parts. I was highly impressed with their service and their dedication to fix my car so I could drive home for the holidays. I will definitely be going back for future help with my car!

They did my transmission and I had it redone several more time under warranty and still never worked as is should. They also forgot to tighten my carrier bearing and I dropped my driveline in the middle of the street after calling them the owner sent his brother over and he was drunk as a skunk it did happen along time ago but I'm just seeing how "good" these reviews are and I feel like people need know.... Find a better place my transmission was done at least 4 times and it was probably more like 6 but I lost count and is still horribleService: Transmission

I cannot say enough about these guys. They are awesome. I can't remember why I first went to them years ago, but they turned me into loyal customers from the very first visit. They are always friendly, quick and well priced. I have gone there for oil changes, major issues with the drive train, and heating problems. Every one of them they fixed in record time. I'm heading there now to pick up my truck. I was amazed at the price for the most recent fix. I was expecting a lot more. Just another surprise from the good guys at Aamco.

I was driving through the state and needed emergency repair. They took me in immediately, had me fixed and back on the road in record time. Their prices were more than fair, and the staff were a pure pleasure to work with. Loren's level of customer service is exceptional, and Armondo and Dakota were very knowledgeable of how to fix my older vanand were extremely fast .

I was on a long road trip on New Year s Eve and started to experience a coolant leak. I stopped in and explain my problem to the technicians, who fortunately were able to solve my problem and get me back on the road. I recognize how easy it could I ve been to take advantage of someone in my position but they did not. Super professional, fair, and helpful. I m so grateful. Would definitely go back and also recommend them.

We just had a remanufactured transmission installed in our 2006 Ford Explorer. We were very pleased with the service we received. Leo told us just what we needed and gave us a quote on the cost. The work was done well within the time they gave us and there were no added costs. The transmission works as good as new. We would recommend them highly!
