The AAMCO External Diagnostic Service is the best transmission checkup available anywhere. Our Centers’ certified technicians can get to the bottom of any transmission problem. With today’s more complex, computer-controlled transmissions, it takes a real expert to be able to diagnose a transmission problem correctly. Getting that diagnosis right can save you a lot of money. The AAMCO External Diagnostic Service is a systematic and comprehensive external evaluation of the overall performance and condition of your transmission. A trained technician will check the level and condition of your transmission fluid: •A low fluid level may indicate a leak •Contaminated fluid has water or particles in the fluid. •Burnt fluid indicates damage from overheating. •Varnished fluid has been overheated repeatedly. •Normal fluid is reddish-brown and translucent, depending on transmission type, with no particular odor. The technician will also check the level and condition of transfer case and differential fluid, where applicable. The technician takes your car on a road test, to experience first-hand any problems you have noticed, and to evaluate your car's performance. Your vehicle will be placed on a lift to inspect the controls under the vehicle for any possible cause of the problem external to the transmission. Finally, the technician will scan the computer for trouble codes*. From these tests, the expert transmission technicians at AAMCO centers can determine what type of problem you might have, and make a recommendation for whatever service is necessary. That comprehensive approach to diagnosing the source of the problem is what sets AAMCO apart.

I brought my 2007 VW Jetta in to Volkswagen Santa Monica with serious brake issues. Their estimate for "Premature Rotor Damage" was over $1000. I took it over to AE German, and had it fixed quickly for nearly half the price. I will be coming back next time I need a mechanic and stop waiting my time with over priced cheaters.

Great staff. Great attitude. Great work. Extremely competitive pricing. Wont take my cars to anyone else if I can avoid it. -Sam Rhodes

I CANNOT express enough how grateful the guys at American Tire Depot have been to me. As a single woman who knows virtually nothing about cars, I am so grateful to these gentlemen who have treated me in the same manner that I know they would want someone to treat their mothers, wives or sisters. They have kept my older car running and pieced together many times without overcharging or even charging me (for the small things) at all. I've also seen them do the same for men as well. This is quite surprising because they are a franchise, but they are all about providing excellent service and courtesy to their customers! Thank you Diego and Memo -Brandi King

My first visit for maintenance after my Mercedes warranty expired. The experience was overwhelmingly positive. Herbert has a professional calmness that exudes knowledge and confidence. You are immediately aware that you and your car are in good hands. Herbert's fees are fair and he will tell you exactly what your car needs- and perhaps more importantly, what your vehicle does not need. I am very pleased that I trusted Herbert with my C300 sport package AMG, and expect to return for any and all future service needs. sincerely, Stan Kelley
