I brought my Nissan here and Kevin took care of everything. At the time we had 2 of our vehicles breakdown and I was really overwhelmed with the prospect of swapping out a transmission and fixing my truck at the same time. Kevin made the process fast, easy, and he even saved us money on the repairs. I don't give reviews often, but when I do it's because they are absolutely deserved. I would absolutely recommend this AAMCO location for you transmission needs.

I have 2008 Mercedes GL450 (145,500miles) with problems with transfer case for couple of month. Auto shops in my city ( RSM ) asked me more than U$2500 with 6,000-12,000miles warranty. However, AAMCO offer me U$2,100 with 18 months /18,000miles warranty. It has been more than 3 months with 5,000miles. So far, transmission runs like new and I'm very satisfied with my decision.

Took vehicle to get transmission leak and brakes repaired under payjment program at Aamco. The car also had leaking valve cover gaskets and rear main seal on the engine. I wanted the engine oil and filter changed also. When I picked up the vehicle and started to drive it home it was making power steering noises. I checked the fluid when I got home and it was full with no air bubbles, but making noise when wheels were turned. It was fine prior to the repair. I waited a few days to see if it would work itself out (possible trapped air) with no improvement. I called Kevin and he said it was not making noise when they test drove it. I find that hard to believe as it was fine prior to the repair. I decided to check the transmission and engine oil today. The oil was not changed and was a quart low. The transmission was also a quart low. I topped off both. Very dissatisfied as how can mechanics not fill up the transmission and do something with the power steering during the repair. There should have been no question and they should have offered to make the repair good. I spent over $2,500 for this repair and I don't want them to work on the car again and get into a debate with Kevin that my car was not making the noise.

I brought my car in to have the fluids changed and left with my car feeling brand new! Not only did Richard help me out with inspecting my car and showing me everything that needed maintenance, I was able to get it all done for half of what the dealership tried charging me. And I learned a lot about my car as well. I had such a great experience here and will definitely recommend my friends and family to this mechanic. Thanks Richard!! PS: thank you for also cleaning my embarrassing filthy car and the new mats. It really does feel brand new?

If anyone needs a Auto Shop/Mechanic they can trust I highly recommend Aamco Transmissions in Lake Forest for all your repairs on your vehicle. Richard the shop manager took very good care of me like I was part of his family. Richard is always willing to go that extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. What I really liked about Richard and the mechanic there John McMeekin is they are both very honest, professional and tell you the truth of what needs to be replaced on your vehicle. They don’t try to rip you off like other shops I’ve been to. In the future I will only go to Aamco Transmission for I found the best shop to service all my vehicles in the future to come. I highly recommend this shop to everyone who needs work done on their vehicle. Richard and John thank you so very much for taking care of my vehicle, and making me feel like I am family at Aamco Transmissions.Best Regards, Bill Piercy

Richard went above and beyond to get me the best deal. I had to replace my transfer case and front drive shaft. Richard kept me up to date everyday my Jeep was in the shop. I would definitely recommend this place for service. Thank you Richard and the mechanics for the great work!

I drove my Jeep in the morning without any issue. Then, I started it up at lunch and it wouldn't go passed 1st gear. So, I took my car to a Transmission repair shop in RSM, in which they told me I need a new transmission - $2100 used or $3200 rebuilt. I then called AAMCO as they offered a free check for a second opinion. The Manager (Richard) was very friendly and said to bring it on in as soon as I could. I had it towed there a few hours after that, and Richard's technicians immediately diagnosed my Jeep. He then confirmed for me what I saw on my OBDII reader that the governor pressure sensor failed. They proceeded to open it all up and check everything free of charge! They even texted me pictures showing some metal fragments in the pan and how dirty it was. He stated that my transmission was fine and that I just needed to replace the governor pressure sensor and flush the transmission fluid plus replace some gaskets/seals. He could have easily lied and told me i needed a new transmission to make more $$ for his shop. Instead, he was an honest, friendly, responsive, informative shop Manager that did things right by me. Long stort short: AAMCO Lake Forest technicians and their Manager Richard, are honest, skilled, fast and reliable. My Jeep runs great, they save dme a ton of money, and i will recommend them and would take my vehicles back there anytime.

Richard M. Did a fantastic job in ensuring that I was involved in every step of the process from showing me the work he did, pictures of the work, and what to expect in the future as far as maintenance. The price was great and they finished ahead of time that they gave me for my wait... will definitely be back for future maintenance.

I took my car here to get my clutch replaced and I had nothing, but a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Incredible customer service from Richard and the work he and his crew did on my car is wonderful. This new clutch shifts just like it did when it was new and that was over 12 years ago. Only took a day to get it done too! Highly recommend taking your car here. You won't regret it!

Richard was amazing! They rebuilt my transmission and although everything was running well, we did hear a noise that made us nervous enough to return. Richard took my car back and said we will make it right! And right he did! Our car runs better than it ever did! Thank you Richard. Its nice to have an older car that runs like new!

Thank you Richard for the excellent customer service. I think I spoke to you at least once daily. You truly kept me informed and updated on the process. Thank you, I would truly recommend this shop for transmission service. Everyone at shop was respectful and down to earth. They took the time to do a once over before I left the shop. Thank you!
