John is the nicest mechanic I ve met. My car s transmission died an hour from home and had it towed to him. Thank God it broke down near him! Him and his staff were patient and kind. Took it right in and stored it for me for a week without charge. Very approachable place, no talking down to you and clearly cares about people. They turned a stressful situation into an easier one. I did read the reviews before I sent it to them and I can attest the high rating is justified.

John and staff are very helpful. I broke down in Boston and we are from Long Island, NY. They understood my situation and I felt very comfortable. Replaced my transmission and had me up and running in the agreed upon time frame. Thanks to all.

If I could rate this place 10 stars, I would. This is one of the nicest shops in the area and combined with John and his team, you'd be crazy not to come here. John took the time to explain everything about my car, and even saved me money where it didn't need to be spent! If you want honest and quality auto repair, look no further. Plus, their new request a quote feature on the website made my life so much easier!

Best place hands down!! John and his staff were efficient, professional and personable. I had an emergency with my vehicle's transmission and John fit me in right away. His team diagnosed and repaired my vehicle as quickly as possible with fitting me in while they were completely booked.. I was a new customer to them and if they are this accommodating to a new customer imagine the service as a seasoned customer... Don't waste you time looking for another transmission place.. I did this already and AAMCO beats everyone hands down. They are the only place I will go to from now on!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Auto maintenance

Great Team! A staple in the community for years! I brought in my car on a Friday, and so did ten other customers. John got my car in, he said it may be a two week wait. They diagnosed my car that same day, found a transmission for my Honda Element. I had my car back in 6 days! They replaced my starter last year! It was worth the investment. They have in-house financial assistance options a plus in a tight spot!!!Thank you Services: Transmission, Engine repair

Cool guys, quoted me one price for clutch and flywheel job. After advising them I'll grab my own parts. Specifically asked will price change. Received a no. After waiting a few weeks to receive the part. I set up another appointment. Now the prices have to go up b/c im bringing my own parts?. Then once the job was " completed" I received the car and after a few lights, clutch isn't working properly. Air bubbles in line. So I proceeded to call and advise them the job wasn't complete if the clutch wasn't bleed. So I was told to bring the car over at opening so I can be taken care of. Once I arrive now I have to leave the vehicle and key at the store again for it to be properly serviced. Not everyone can leave their car for whenever they decide they are finished especially twice. I took my vehicle and never looked back ended up going elsewhere.. in conclusion they have great customer service. But service incomplete, pricing changed after acquiring my own parts, and left in a dangerous situation. Air bubbles in clutch line during an emergency is a no no.

Joel, John, and the young man that did the actual work were absolutely awesome!!! I dropped my car off on Monday and they called me Friday to pick it up. I needed my transfer case fixed and they did the job. My car had been to 2 different shops before bringing it to Aamco. From the time I dropped my car off Joel was extremely nice, helpful, and explained everything in detail to me. I understood everything he told me.Service: Transmission

John and Joel were great to work with and both were professionals to the core. They took care of my car and kept me informed of what was going on and why it needed to be down. This had me feeling confident and completely relieved me of all anxiety. The repairs were done in a timely manner and for way less than what the dealership wanted to charge me for the same service. I would pick these guys 100 times out of 100.

My overall experiences at AAMCO have been great. John has always taken the time to fit me in at the last minute for whatever issue that has occurred with my car. The environment is always welcoming and he always gives me an affordable price for top notch service. I recently had an issue with my hood latch so I dropped into the shop and he had his mechanic take care of it for me in a matter of 10mins. John and his team at AAMCO are a great group of guys that gets the job done. I recommend all my family and friends.

I knew the moment John called me to ask what I needed that I was in good hands. He was very friendly, affable, and professional. I explained my situation and he welcomed me to drop my car off when I had a chance. I dropped it off the following afternoon, they diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and called me back only a few hours later. When I dropped it off and picked it up I was greeted by Joel each time, and when he commented about the picture of a baseball on my cedit card we had a great conversation about the game and our respective experiences as players. From beginning to end the whole experience was as fantastic as any I can remember. I can't recommend AAMCO enough.

John was really sweet by remaining calm and helping me during a CRISIS. My transmission failed and I went to AAMCO Roslindale to have my transmission rebuilt for my 2003 Honda Accord. They did a great job by fixing my car, connecting me to affordable financing options and they gave me a 18 month warranty on my transmission. Any issue I have moving forward they are willing to check out and fix and John has encouraged me to come back in a month or so to look over the car. He is great and so is his staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I spoke and dealt with John, who was nothing but joyful and professional. I dropped my car off after 12 and got it the same day. I was skeptical about the price but it wasn t too expensive- very affordable. Overall 5 stars from customer service to service. Thanks John !

John is Mr. Clutch. He not only fix my a/c & the compressor issues when I dropped it off 7:30am. The fact he fixed that and also did a oil change he did all in 1 day. Especially in the summer time he gave me a reasonable price in this heatwave when everyone was overpricing. Very nice Mr. Quality. Not gonna let anyone touch my car.

I went here to get my sons mercedes checked out for possible transmission issues this location was convenient young gentleman at the front counter was very pleasant professional and he was taking care of another customer but acknowledged us and assured us he would be right with us. Wait was not long we were able to explain what was going on we thought we'd have to pay for a diagnostic but it was free as a courtesy as long as you allowed them 2hrs which i thought was reasonable. They contacted us within that 2hrs gave us the price we agreed on it and they fixed it we were able to pick it up the next day they even took the payment over the phone which was very convenient and my son says its been running great every since so yeah if you feel youre having transmission problems and wanna get it checked i highly recommend this place

i brought my Chevy Suburban to John and his technicians for a complete transmission rebuild. After diagnosing the problem (s), working with my other mechanic to troubleshoot, hunting down noises , ordering specific parts ......they fixed it! My Suburban runs beautifully. I know it was a challenge but they would not let my take the SUV home until they were satisfied it was completely repaired. Highly recommend!

John, the owner, is an honest and fair person. I recently purchased a used vehicle and brought it in for a free break check when apparently John discovered the car had major issues , up to $3,000 to resolve. I then took the car back from John, free of charge and returned to the dealer to resolve this issue as I shouldn t have to spend 3k on a newly purchased vehicle in which it was rigged to past inspection. I recommend this location as an honest mechanic shop for your car!

Don't go there. The manager john is a scam artist. Went there because my transmission is taking longer than usual to engage in first gear, after that it works fine so I brought it in to have a free diagnosis. After having my truck All Day John calls me to tell me all my clutches were bad especially the first. He says my technician is one of the best and he can have my transmission on the work table by Monday and ready by Wednesday, but it was going to cost me $3000 to overhaul. I told him I didn't have the money now and I would pick up by 4:45pm. He advised me not to drive it anymore or cost would be more to repair. First my first gear is the strongest and I peel off when I gun it every time. When I went in to pick up he was on the phone preaching the same thing he told me word by word to another customer. I'm still driving with no problems just the delay when I first shift. I wouldnt trust that guy with your money :(

Uneducated to say the least. I called them up to set up an appointment to have the transmission fluid changed. The service manual on my car says to change the transmission fluid at 140k miles. That's where I'm at.The person on the phone started freaking out saying that there's no way they would ever change the transmission fluid in a car with as many miles as mine.Before I even walked in the door, they were trying to push loans on me for a transmission work that the car doesn't need. First off, assuming my financial status is not cool. Second, I called to have the transmission fluid changed, not to have someone try to use fear tactics into trying to get me to pay fix something that isn't broken.Long story short. I got the transmission fluid changed elsewhere and the car runs fine.Perhaps AAMCO could spend more time training their employees about the different makes and models of cars and their various requirements for transmission fluid changes.If I could write in negative stars, I would.

JP and the gentlemen at AAMCO did an efficient analysis and expert repair job of my brakes. I was very impressed at their attentiveness, the clear explanation of my issue and the very reasonable cost of my services compared to the other competition. I would never go anywhere else but to AAMCO in the future. Thanks guys
