Don was very helpful, he was my third diagnostic and he was the one too finally gave me the answers that I needed on what was wrong with my vehicle. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to Transmissions and was able to get me a price quote and a roundabout estimate of when the items would be in if we decided to go that route. We decided against it since I needed a radiator and a transmission it was going to cost about $6,000 to fix the vehicle so we decided to sell it instead. Would recommend him and also would consider using him if I needed to in the future.Thank you so much for all your help Don and for taking the time to properly diagnose my vehicle!

Very thankful for this shop! Don is very kind and professional. Not only were they able to provide a fast diagnosis and estimate, but they stood by their quote and offered a great warranty. I would absolutely recommend Peoria AAMCO to anyone and everyone, thank you!

I was blown away by his kindness and especially his honesty. Amazing place !! And he test drove it...did diagnostic testing and didn't charge me. Highly recommend this place. Just all around great experience and great to know their is still trustworthy and honest people out here to help when traveling .Thank you Don Service: Transmission

These reviews are fake they are horrible mechanics. I brought my truck in and asked them to diagnose the major problem. They pointed out a small inexpensive least of my problems and charged me $500 250 in labor 250 for the parts that would have cost less than half of that and the labor was an hour and a 1/2 for $250 do not take your vehicle there they will rip you off!!!Service: Steering & suspension repair

Don and staff are incredible. I gave them a simple fix that turned into a nightmare that I didn't forsee. They fixed it right at a super fair cost. When my vehicle needed to remain at the shop overnight Don drove me 30 minutes home. I can't say enough. I am now a lifetime customer.

I highly recommend AAMCO. Don is very honest, reasonably priced and knows what he is doing. Quick to get your vehicle in. Ex: When I had issues with my transmission, he got me in quick. I dropped my car off in the morning and he gave me a ride to my job. My car was fixed by the time I got off from work. He offered to pick me up but I had a co-worker drop me off. My air went out in my car over this past weekend, called Don today, he was able to look at my car & fixed the problem after I got off of work. Don has been working on my car for the past 1 1/2 years. I will not take my car anywhere else.

I can't say enough good things about AAMCO and more specifically about Don. Don rebuilt a transmission for me and it had developed an issue after the warranty ran out. Don treated me the best and made it well above and beyond right anything I would have hoped or expected. Don runs his business with the highest ethics that I had ever seen in an auto repair business. I highly recommend AAMCO and Don for your auto repair needs.Service: Transmission

I'm so thankful I stumbled upon Don and the guys at AAMCO. After taking my car to the dealership (when it was supposed to be covered under warranty) and leaving very frustrated, Don looked over my car and fixed it for less. He also drove me back to my office so that I didn't have to wait for a ride. I'm so glad I didn't get sucked into falling for what the dealership wanted me to pay for. My car runs perfectly and I will trust my cars with Don from now on. We need more places like this! I appreciate the family businesses and love that I can keep my money local. I would highly recommend them.

Amazing!! These guys went above and beyond any place I have ever been to. I broke down in Peoria after my brake system failed. Not only did they show me everything that was wrong before getting parts they kept me informed on the entire repair and how it was going. Due to no restaurants in walking distance of this place the manager/owner Don took time out of his day to take me to One so I could buy me lunch since I am diabetic and had not ate. Extremely polite.

4 months ago I had my transmission rebuilt by ARAMCO. I had a link in the trans after ward's, took it back to let them know and it was fixed. So I was thinking since it's there, I miles as well get the differential gears service so far no complaints. Satisfied including price wise

I've taken several cars to AAMCO over the years - I've found them to be honest, fast, and fair with pricing. Don won my business when he actively talked himself out of a $1500 transmission repair on an old Pathfinder of mine that I was extremely attached to, saying it just wasn't cost-effective to fix - and then he didn't want to charge me for the time he took to look it over, either! If you're seeking a mechanic that will be straight up with you, get the job done quickly, and not charge you an arm and a leg for stuff you don't need - take your car here!

These reviews are a joke or must be the employees friend and family. I took a truck in said they could do the work. They had the truck 3 months and never did a dam thing. Owner lied numerous times false claims even caught him in his own lies. Don't walk, run from this place. I was referred this place by numerous people I guess in past they did good work. But things must have changed. Beware of this place.

To Don at AAMCO and the entire team who makes the company so successful, thank you.I wouldn't even think to recommend another transmission or drivetrain shop to anyone who asked. I originally brought by Jeep in because I thought my transmission was failing. Don and his team had my Jeep for nearly an entire day, to diagnose that my entire rear differential needed replaced and my transmission lever seal needed replaced. After all the hours and work it took to diagnose my Jeep, the fee was only $50.00.However, the entire repair was quoted to be $1,200.00 to which I quickly replied let's schedule it. While that isnt chump change, Don did allow me to make two payments, which helped. I also had about a week to recover from the first payment while the part shipped in. Since I performed the repairs with AAMCO, the diagnostic fee was waived.Don and his team were some of the nicest and most honest people I have handed the keys to my vehicle over. I can't imagine not endorsing their company, and the work they do. Please, if you ever need anything on your vehicle services that Don and his team can do for you, know that your vehicle is in very capable and trustworthy hands. The communication was awesome! Service was done quicker than I expected. And the entire process was just enjoyable!Thank you AAMCO for fixing my daily driver, and allowing me to keep her running. Thank you for your honesty. And thank you for the integrity which you have and lead with.While we all hope to never need these types of repairs done, if a future situation arises where i need a service technician, i have AAMCO's number saved in my phone.

First off I brought my vehicle in to get transmission looked at, they changed my spark plugs instead and said that it had a misfire on all cylinders. A week goes by and I'm still having same issues I call and leave a message and don't get a call back. Don't waste your time or money!

They took a little while but did excellent work and honored the guarantee that I had on my transmission. Well worth the wait.

I recently purchased a used vehicle and was driving to Michigan to visit my mother who was in a nursing home there. I stopped in Paw Paw (half-way point) to spend the night, and when I put the vehicle in park, I got a 'check transmission' light. I was so worried that I wasn't going to make it to Detroit! First thing the next morning I called the AAMCO in Peoria, as Don has worked on our family's vehicles for years. He told me to go to the nearest O'Reilly's and have them run a check engine test, and give me the print out - which I photographed with my cell phone and then texted the image to Don. He knew right away what the problem was from that and told me I would be okay to drive it and directed me to the AAMCO in Detroit. They got me in right away and replaced the part for me. I haven't had any problems since. Don didn't make any ,money on this but he knows that if you want to remain in business you need to develop and maintain good relationships with your customers. I and my family and friends have always found him to be fair and honest in his business dealings.

I spoke to a gentleman on the phone twice. He seemed very rude and when I asked a question he'd give me an attitude and refused service to me. I tried my best to be cooperative and helpful but I am Not pleased with their service.. would not recommend this place to anyone.
