Transmission repair service near Glenside, PA

I could not agree more with the other review - what ever you do, Do Not use this repair shop. My transmission leaked fluid from the start and then 3 weeks or so later my vehicle made a weird noise which was not the case prior to having them work on my car. They had my vehicle for a week and then advised me that they could not determine the cause but for additional money they could dig deeper - I refused and took my car to a friend who owns his own garage in Philly and he advised that my "Flex Plate was cracked and it likely happened as a result of them not bolting my trans down properly (my friend found that 2 out of 4 bolts missing from my factory installed transmission and motor). to make matters worse 2 months in and now my vehicle does not go beyond 20 mikes per hour - what's sad is, I don't have confidence in this shop to make the repairs correctly - Don't use this shop!

Sterling and expert service. My '05 Corolla with 315k miles, purrs like a kitten thanks to John and his team at Motorworks. Got an oil change, two new tires and front end alignment. Car is running great. Thanks!

TERRIBLE SERVICE! It took 12 days to have my transmission replaced. Every person I talked to gave me the same exact excuse..."I've only been working here a few days". They must turn over the staff once a week. Also, BEWARE: they don't do the work on premises. They kept feeding me excuses that they sent out the transmission and they had no control when it was delivered back, etc, etc. The final straw was when they GUARANTEED I would have my car back on a Tuesday. I took off work for the day and arranged for a ride to get my car (was told it would be ready around 2-2:30). I received a call at noon to tell me it would be another day! The consolation...they invited me to come down and "look" at my transmission if I wanted to. Finally, I was called at 4pm the next day and left a message that my car was ready BUT they were closing the shop early and if I wanted my car I had to be there before 5pm (30 minutes prior to advertised closing time). They also would not let me use the coupon I obtained from the website and informed them I would be using prior to service starting. This place is unprofessional, slow, and rude. And they cost the same as a dealer. Save yourself a hassle and go somewhere else. AND, don’t believe Craig when he tells you what day your car will be ready. 12 days for a repair is ridiculous. ***Addendum*** a few days later I notice a sticker in my car from Haldeman Nissan on Rt 33. I then received an email from Haldeman thanking me for my service. I was not happy with Haldeman in the past and was purposely avoiding them. AAMCO not only sent my transmission to Haldeman without telling me BUT ALSO GAVE THEM MY EMAIL ADDRESS. WTF!?!?
