Transmission repair service near Randolph, NJ

I was at the shop yesterday (6/8/2015) service is bad and they don't pay attention to their own instructions. Case and Point (1) - Even though they asked me to attached my name and number to my keys during a night drop off, they never called me with any updates on my car. I had to call them 3 times in total and then actually drive to the shop to ask the same question. Case and point (2) - My shift timing Solenoid was the issue they wanted me to purchase a complete B valve unit for ($800 - $1200). I asked why can't the issue be fixed and her response was we do not just fix the single part in question we simply replace the whole unit.... Case and point (3) - They play an interesting game with the transmission fluid taken out of transmission. Based on it being dirty (not red in color), not burnt...stated I needed a new transmission as a result...cost $2200 dollars...do you see a pattern? The Volvo manual states the transmission fluid last for the life of the car, so after 124K miles I would understand the color not being red. Case and point (4) - Getting a receipt was like pulling teeth, I used my credit card to pay ($65.00) and was sent an electronic receipt that didn't state what the cost was for. I had to asked with tone to get a yellow receipt stating what was done. I requested only to drain the old Trans fluid and refill with clean fluid. Case and point (5) - I requested to see the transmission dip stick when done, to verify the transmission fluid levels was correct and the new fluid was red in color. This seen like it was extra, extra work (poor attitudes) for them to show me this simple task. Be careful of this place! Their knowledge is not complete... I was told from 2002 - 2009 all Volvo transmissions were the same, this is not true. Fear is used as a factor in helping one make a decision, not sounded facts.

Brought my car in for service, it was in the shop for two days to replace front struts and some other work. When I drove the car home, I noticed the wheel alignment was off. The alignment wasn't included in the final estimate. I called the shop and they said I could come back in first thing in the morning. Went back the next day and they put the car right up on the lift, did the wheel alignment, and didn't charge me! I was ok with paying for it, and was just happy they took me right in with no wait. But they insisted no charge Refreshing to find a business that is honest and customer-centric. I'm telling all my friends and neighbors Tony C Piscataway Township, NJ

Hi everyone, I do humbly urge each and everyone not to go to AAMCO TRANSMISSION located at 950 Frelinghuysen Avenue, Newark, NJ 07114. They just reap people off. The loose ur transmission and tell u whatever they want u to hear. For instance, the Torque converter that cost less that $200 for my car they said is $1600, and lots of other parts they listed. At the end of the day, u end up paying them more than the cost of a new transmission from the dealer. For average cars, they make u spend roughly $4,000 just for rebuilding ur transmission, and give u a 1 year warranty or 12,000 miles which ever comes first. After one of these, the same problem again started developing. My case is less than a year even. When I came back, they said I have to pay for the parts and they will take care of the labor. I look at the good Samaritans that pay for a shop and workers and yet work for free. While I was there, I saw many people coming in, yelling for the reap off. One even called a cop to take a statement on what has happened between him and AAMCO. I advice all not to visit here. Thanks
