Transmission repair service near Saint Paul, MN

This is to help others with a “shady” car repair experience I recently had. I had taken my car for repair to a Burnsville AAMCO dealer and was told I needed a new transmission costing $1900 plus what they called “hard parts”. When I asked what hard parts were, I was told it could be an additional $300 for a torque converter and hardware which I approved. When I went to pick-up my car the repair bill was now $3360 or more than 40% what I was quoted! The dealer told me I was not called for the additional amount because a “new guy forgot to call me to approve the repair”. The dealer did give me a discount of $225 but this is still far from the original quote. I was also told the car needed a new catalytic converter, rear struts and was “running rough”. I paid the bill and left as fast as I could. I placed a claim with the MN State Attorney’s office but they can only request the AAMCO dealer to voluntarily respond unless other people have had similar experiences, so if that is you look into their web site. I have also sent my complaint to AAMCO national office with no response yet. If you have your car here, push it anywhere else!!!

Excellent service. They changed my oil, headlight, and gave me a much needed vehicle diagnostic on the other things I needed fixed in record timing, and for a really good price. The people there were all super nice and friendly. 10/10, will visit again!

Great service and great staff. I've had the opportunity to take both of our vehicles there for regular oil change, routine maintenance, & oil leaks, radiator replacement, axle, brakes etc... I can honestly say that that they will give you an honest opinion on what is worth repairing and what (which is what i needed to know for my beater) and competitive pricing. Service turnaround is quick is staff is friendly and honest. I will highly recommend it to anyone. ps: both of our vehicles are Japanese made.

I have been coming here for a long time. Maybe 7 years. The service is always great, but they are pretty expensive. There was a time I needed some major engine work, and they quoted me over 5 grand to do something that I got an independent mechanic to do for about 1500, including parts. I will only go there as a matter of convenience now and for smaller repairs. Anything major, bring it elsewhere. I would love to give Steve at Southcross the business, but he prices himself out of the market.

With no notice Bernie did a inspection on a Volvo that we were thinking to buy even though he had just got home from the airport. Wonderful service and a great sense of humor. Saved us the cost of a transmission.

I would like to acknowledge Service Manager Chris Bakalars of the AAMCO at 662 E. Main St in Anoka, MN. I have been bringing all 3 of my vehicles to this AAMCO location for the last 5 or 6 years for everything from simple oil changes to a new engine for my suburban. I have always received outstanding service from Chris and his crew. No matter what the problem is, he sticks with it until the issue is resolved. The number one thing I look for in a mechanic is TRUST and I definitely have that with Chris.

Very happy! Saved me thousands over what the BMW dealership quoted and we then brought him my hubby's Audi Q5 which he did an amazing job on. This is our go to place for everything on our vehicles from now on.
