Transmission Repair in Lake Forest, CA

“5 star service from AA auto repair! Thank you to the whole team including the owner Hamid for taking care of the cars I’ve been bringing in for service.

I started looking for quotes on some repairs I needed done, starting with the dealership then a few surrounding auto mechanics. I kept getting over priced quotes and each one would list random things that did not need to be fixed. I felt like I was being taken advantage of.

I checked out AA auto repair and right from the beginning I was met with such kind and honest words. They thoroughly looked at my car and told me the exact issue it was having. Their repair prices were beyond fair and reasonable, but most importantly they found exactly what parts needed replacements and completed the repair in a timely manner. No time or money wasted! My AC system works like brand new again and I couldn’t be happier with their customer care and service. Having a large family with many cars, I’m happy to have found a new home mechanic shop for all of our auto repair needs. Thank you AA auto repair!”

“So thankful for Nahu at Ascendant Automotive. He's trustworthy and so kind. I always know he will do a great job and not over charge or say that you need unnecessary repairs. What a gift...
An honest mechanic!”

“My name is Priscilla and they made the experience on something I needed to get done they friendly helpful and acknowledgeable. Having to install a breathalizer is not fun or good feeling they did not pass judgement like some other places. They took good care of my Benz I recommend them 100% I will definitely use them as additional services every needed as they are a mechanic shop!”

“I've been taking my 95 Toyota pickup to these guys for about 8 years now (3 visits, IIRC). Every single visit has been an exceptional experience.

They do honest work, they'll likely tell you what you might need to do to fix your vehicle if your it fails.

They notified me this time around that my EVAP canister would need to be replaced to pass the next smog test.

As long as these guys are around, I'll be a lifelong customer.”

“I had an excellent experience with AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care. We brought them our Volkswagen with a serious engine problem, and they accepted the vehicle without any issues. From the very beginning, the staff was friendly, professional, and ready to help.

They took the time to listen carefully and clearly explained what the next steps would be. They said they would inspect everything, confirm the condition of the engine, find the correct replacement engine, order it, install it, and take care of all the related details. This gave us a lot of confidence because replacing an engine is a major repair, and it is important to work with people who understand what they are doing.

What impressed me most was their positive attitude and willingness to solve the problem. They did not try to avoid a difficult job or make the situation more complicated. They simply said they would check everything and handle the engine replacement properly. The communication was clear, respectful, and professional.

It is very reassuring to know that the car is in the hands of experienced people who are prepared to find the right engine and complete the installation correctly. The shop looked organized, and the team made a very good first impression.

Thank you to the entire AAMCO team for accepting our vehicle and helping us with such a serious repair. We truly appreciate your professionalism, patience, and willingness to take responsibility for the whole process. I highly recommend this location to anyone who needs transmission, engine, or major automotive repair work. Great people, excellent customer service, and a team you can trust!”

“Francisco and his team are just incredible trusting all my car cells and personal vehicles with no hassle or issue I fully Recommend their expertise in good treatment to all”

“I brought my very old Tahoe to SV Tire & Repair Shop for a torque converter replacement, and they did an outstanding job! The technician team handled the repair quickly and efficiently, and they even accommodated my request for a more heavy-duty torque converter since I use my car for long trips and towing.

A big thank you to Erin, who kept in contact with me throughout the process. He was great at providing updates through texts and Yelp messages and even sent me a video with important updates, which gave me real peace of mind. That level of communication and customer care is rare these days.

Since my car is pretty old, I know I’ll eventually need an engine replacement or rebuild, and I’ve already confirmed with them that it won’t be a problem. I’ll definitely be coming back when the time comes.

Highly recommend SV Tire & Repair Shop for anyone looking for honest, reliable, and thorough auto service!”

“7/10/26 originally came to get used tires, unfortunately could not provide a pair but was then given a great deal on a set of new tires. will be coming back to continue doing business with them on my other cars too. highly recommend to check them out 👍🏾”

“Solid shop and solid guy! I was in a bind for a cat replacement and Javi came through. He is my new mechanic! I will be going back for brakes and then shocks/struts. I highly recommend this shop as you won't get ripped off with dealer prices. Javi is a super nice family man to top it off.”
