“Amazing shop to take your cars to, Mario is honest and knowledgeable, he tries his best to help you and goes out of his way to make it pleasant when you have car trouble. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their cars fixed.”
“I want to share the honesty and professionalism I experienced at this place. My car is a 2016 Toyota Camry with about 120,000 miles on it. A few months ago, I started hearing a knocking sound coming from under the engine, and it gradually got louder. Someone I know, who knows a bit about cars, told me it was coming from the transmission. After hearing that, I avoided long-distance driving and only drove locally, planning to fix it when the time came.
Unfortunately, things got worse when I was laid off from work, and money became very tight. Each day, the sound seemed louder, and I worried the car might stop while driving. I was desperately thinking of the cheapest way to fix the transmission, and eventually decided to take it to a local transmission shop. Among the options, AMCO in Oakland had good reviews, and I was able to easily book an appointment online on the Monday Nov 24.
I explained the noise, and they told me it would cost $200 to diagnose the issue. I was mentally prepared to fix it if the estimate came out to under $2,000, and they also said the $200 would be applied to the repair cost if I chose to proceed. Since I couldn’t see the problem myself, the whole situation felt overwhelming and I had no choice but to trust the shop. If they had quoted a repair cost, I would have had to pay it or put it on a credit card, even if it meant going into debt.
About an hour and a half later, I went back to talk to them. When they told me that fixing the transmission would normally cost four to five thousand dollars, I thought, “This is it… the moment I was afraid of.” But then the manager smiled and said, “You are a lucky guy.” He explained that the knocking sound wasn’t coming from the transmission at all—it was simply the tire cover making noise. They removed all the loose covers from my car and recommended to replace all four covers.
I was relieved beyond words. I regretted trusting someone who only “knew a bit” about cars, but I was extremely grateful that I went for a second opinion. I thanked God for leading me to honest people and for allowing everything to work out safely. Looking back, I realized how easy it could have been for someone to scam me and make quick money. But these people were completely honest, handled everything professionally, and treated me with integrity.
I want to leave this review, even though it’s only a short one, to express my appreciation for their work. I hope I won’t have to go back for transmission issues, but if I ever do, this is the place I’ll return to—and I truly recommend them to others.”

“Joe told me the absolute truth about my car that the dealership wouldn't tell me. He did not take advantage of my need to get my vehicle running. He was also done when he said he would be.”
“I had the best experience with Nayarit Transmission shop! Marcos was extremely helpful and explained in detail what I needed and what he was going to do to fix my car. He completed the work in 1 day! He was very nice and professional. I highly recommend using them especially for women because he is trustworthy and charged fair price ? !”
“These guys are great. I brought in an old crusty Ford ranger with an intermittent no start problem that could have been a thousand different things. They were very thorough and honest and ended up fixing it for only $300. I would highly recommend this place!”
“I was initially introduced to Bill through Fantasy Junction for a PPI on a classic Porsche I was looking to buy. He was in my corner on day one and was willing to inspect the car thoroughly, while navigating me through all the highs and lows of negotiating with a broker. Ultimately, I walked away from purchasing the car, but Bill was there to give me advice on these air-cooled Porsches whenever I had questions. This IS the guy you want to bring your Porsche to up in Northern California, and I'll drive 7+ hours to have him rebuild my 911 engine when it needs a "rebirth". Great to find someone who is TOP in their field!”
“When your transmission acts funny it always seems like an emergency. ER got us in right away and diagnosed the problem quickly. They gave us a couple options and practical advice. Straight-shooters and would recommend.”

“The team takes great care of my car! They often point issues that went unnoticed by the previous mechanic. Parking is tight but they will take care of anything you need. I especially feel the savings in my pocket because they find the long term solutions!”
“My vehicle was experiencing weird power losses and would shut down sometimes. I came in having this issue & vehicle shut down in front of his shop. He relented and fixed my car within 3 days. His shop is very busy. I am SATISFIED with his work. Shorted Alternator due to swamps on roads in heavy rains.”
“Thank you for your service Charles. I appreciate you taking time out and reviewing issue with my car. I appreciate your honesty and quick diagnostic. It was nice to know your recommendation was not a new transmission but bearing. Greatly appreciate it.”

“Owners provided good communication and support. They gave me a ride to BART and worked with me on having my son pick up car. They gave full explanation of work performed and final status of car. Price for work appeared reasonable.”
