Please don't take your vehicle to this particular AAMCO. My daughter and I took our 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe in on the morning of 07/23/14 for an oil change, a free multi-polnt inspection, to check the starter that they had installed Nov 2013 that was still not starting properly but was under warranty, and to check the brakes. We were told by Bob Big that they would check the vehicle and call us back on Thursday 07/24/14 which he did to tell me in this order, brakes need to be replaced, bushing gone on steering wheel, oil change and filter, chopped teeth on starter, flywheel needs to be replaced, and labor. The parts would cost $1254.50 and the labor would cost $1399.30 which included $945.30 to replace the flywheel. I told him we would have to get the vehicle repaired later because we did not have that much money and that we would pick the vehicle up and he said we could not pick the vehicle up because it was not operational, that they could not release it to us that it would be detremental to us and other people on the hwy I told him we only lived approx 3 miles from there and we had driven it there he said they could not release it back to us I told him that we did not have that kind of money so he said how much money do we have I sd the most we had was $300, he sd bring the $300 of which I did. He told me once the parts were paid they would take post dated cks for 6 mo for the labor my daughter and I went back Monday morning to tell him we were not going to have the work done at this time because we could not afford it we were going to have the vehicle towed back to the house he told us to go back home and he would call us after he saw what had been done I told him nothing should have been done because he said the parts had to be paid for first he said he would call us. He called back in about 3 hrs to say that we had to pay $794.90 because they had replaced the flywheel which $945.30 for labor and $149.60 for parts minus the $300 leaving a balance of $794.90 which had to be paid prior to picking up the vehicle I told him we did not authorize him to repair the vehicle he said the $300 was a down pmt on the parts so I sd are you financing the labor he sd no because you broke the contract you are not letting us do all the work I said we did not sign a contract or anything for you to do any work he said that was what we had to pay to get the vehicle. This was on Monday 07/28/14. He called me on Thurs 07/31/14 And said that if we did'nt pay the money that day we were going to be charged $25 a day for storage. I have reported them to the Texas Atty General Ofc, The Federal Trade Commission, The Better Business Bureau,

My vehicle had misfire code, I took it in they repaired it and it was fine for a while but then I had the same issue just over a week ago I took it back they said it was a faulty coil. They warranted the work but, the check engine light is on again and it’s the same issue!!! This place was recommended to me so that’s why I went but I live about 45 min away and I’m afraid my vehicle will not make it.

I used this shop to repair my transmission, referred by a friend. That was a year ago. My transmission was leaking fluid so I took it in on Saturday and left it there....I had not heard anything on Monday so I call on Tuesday afternoon and was told that the transmission seals were leaking due to my rack and pinion having a leak also. The transmission repair was covered under warranty and the owner offered to repair the rack and pinion for $297.00. I said yes to the repair but 10 minutes later I reconsidered and explicitly told her not to make the repair at all. I picked up my van on Thursday and I am told that I owe for the rack and pinion repair which I did not authorize! Keep in mind I only speak to the owner over the phone and deal with a mechanic when I go into the shop. The repair was done on Wednesday and the owner seemed unaware that the repair had been made until I go in on Thursday. Long story short I was treated as if I had done something wrong when I asked if I could pay for the repair in two payments..she wanted me to pay for an unathorized repair of $297 in 10 days. I think this was a scam to get some kind of money from me since they couldn't charge me for the transmission repair.

I really wish someone would close these jerks down. SCAMMERS CON-ARTS, CROOKS, SWINDLERS. In-human idiots that lie lie lie and steal your money. They fix nothing. I brought my car there and paid an arm and leg for them to fix my car and nothing but made it worse. Anyone that reads these reviews and brings there car to them Please call the police immediately. IMMEDIATELY. I wish the police would pay attention to these reviews, go there and shut them down and arrest these thief's. They have a post on Craig's list so beware. Oh that review that someone said their $600 dollar radio was stolen. It wasn't stolen they so called mechanics stole it and lied.

After my experience with them I can not recommend this shop to anyone. warranty is a fraud, newspaper ad is bogus- very rude unprofessional and manipulative. Once you agree on a set price you get there find out almost double price. they never mention on the phone they accept "cash only" that's a red flag. don't sign anything before you very carefully read. example: warranty states that if repairs needed you must pay 150.00 just for him to honor warranty...total fraud. save your money avoid like the plague.

I have been to this mechanic over the past 2, almost 3 years. Finally realizing that they may have cost me money instead of saving me money. I initially went for an engine light. They diagnosed it as CATALYTIC CONVERTER. My car was in shop for 2-3 days. Not only did they say one of the catalytic converters CRACKED during the repair and needed to be welded while they fixed it, but the engine light was off for ONLY ONE DAY. Came right back on after I spent $800. Since that day, I have been back to replace the IONIC motor, power steering pump, a FULL TUNE UP that they claimed would fix the engine light. They always said that the TRANSMISSION was fine no matter how many times I reported a problem with it slipping or my car just completely turning off. I spent so much money there and I STILL have an ENGINE light on. Finally, took it to another mechanic someone recommended and he reported that they used CHEAP parts for the catalytic converters, didn't replace the sensors when they did the original work, and NOW the whole TRANSMISSION is messed up because it has been LEAKING. I BEEN SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION and they never did! Isn't that supposed to be their speciality? Now I will have to pay $2500 to fix my entire car. NO THANKS TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CENTER.

This place is not a reputable shop! My car stopped near here on November 2, and since all I needed was a fuel pump replacement, I let them do the service. Well I began having trouble with filling my tank after they fixed it. And then my car stopped again THE DAY AFTER they returned it to me. When I brought it back, Johnny claimed it was my "engine computer" that needed replacing, and the fuel pump was fine. At that point, I had the car towed to the shop I was familiar with. Turns out, the workers hooked my fuel return line into my vent system! That caused my charcoal canister and vent to fill with raw gasoline, and that repair cost me $560! Johnny also made me pay $60 for the tow back to his shop because "the problem was not related to his work". But as you can see, it most definitely was! I plan on taking this to small claims court. Don't go here unless you appreciate crappy worksmanship and being lied to!

Very crooked, dishonest business. They charged me $3000 dollars for a repair. I paid for it with my American Express Card. They then declared that my car ownership and the repair warranty belongs to an old, White man who helped me tolled the car off the road. I had to call American Express to dispute it as a bad business deal. The manger asked for 0 proof from a White handy man to assure the ownership of the car, but he demands to see my car title, the credit card recipt to prove that it's my car and that I paid for the repair. He even insinuate that the man is letting me use the car temporarily. I showed him the original sales contract of the car that stayed with the maintanece book from many years ago - the only paper I had at the time. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the title paper of the car more aggressively.. The credit card used for the transaction has my name on it and it matches the record in the front side of the repair order. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the credit card recipt more aggressively. I was denied of my 10 day check up. I was denied of my ownership of the car. I was denied of the warranty. He asked me to leave, saying I have a bad attitude. Nobody would trust a 2 year warranty when one is denied of one's standing as a customer, as owner of the warranty, as a paid consumer and the car owner, simply because one is not an old, white man. This whole thing is just bad, bad, crooked deal...

About two years ago I took my car in to have a new transmission put in. It cost me 900 dollars but it was done quickly and I didn't have any problems with it. I've only driven the car 5000 miles since then and never on the freeway cause i use my newer model vehicle to travel longer distances. I recently got on the freeway to go across town while my newer car was getting a tune up and it would not shift to overdrive. I called and they said they would look at it and two days later they called me stating that I needed a new transmission and it was gonna cost an additional 800 dollars. I asked if they had taken the transmission out to check it and they said no. I informed them that the trams is only 2 years old and that it had only been driven 5000 miles to no avale. They said the transmission is only under a 1 year warranty and that I can take it somewhere else. Not a good experience at all and these people will rip you off

RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,RUN,AWAY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! THEIF,THEIF,THEIF. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ELECTRONIC CHECK BECAUSE IT WOULD HESITATE SOME TIME. I LEFT IT AT MANAGERS REQUEST. I CAME BACK AND THEY HAD TAKEN MY TRANS OUT AND TORE IT APART. I TOLD HIM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER I DID NOT AUTHORIZE OR REQUEST THIS! HE SAID THEY COULD NOT PUT BACK LIKE IT WAS CERTAIN THINGS WERE DAMAGED (DURING PULLING IT APART I'M SURE). AND IF THEY DID IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. BOTTOM LINE I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR OF NEARLY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS, THE CAR ONLY COST FORTY EIGHT HUNDRED. BY THE WAY THE PART ONLY COST ABOUT FIFTY DOLLARS. I COULD HAVE A YOUTUBE VEDIO AND REPLACED IT MY SELF OR JUST BOUGHT A USED TRANS FOR THREE TO SIX HUNDRED AND PAID TWO OR THREE HUNDRED TO PUT IT IN. THE OWNER DID NOT KNOW OF DAVES (MANAGER) TACTICS I'M SURE. I'VE HAD WORK DONE HERE BEFORE DAVE WAS HIRED. I COULD HAVE TAKEN LEGAL STEPS, BUT FOR OLD FRIENDSHIP SAKE, I DID NOT. THIS IS NOT TO GET EVEN BUT TO INFORM THE UNSUPECTING, ALL TRUSTING, NIEVE, AND GOLABLE PERSONS LIKE I WAS. GET THE FACTS BEFORE LEAVIN. NOT A VAGE PHONE CALL AUTHORING SOME TYPE OF WORK. BY THE WAY SCREWS MISSING, HARNESS LOSE, POPING SOUND WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEN OH AND WORST OF ALL A WHINNING SOUND, LIKE YOU HEAR FROM A CAR WHOSE TRANS IS ABOUT TO "GO OUT". IN OTHER WORDS TRANS REPAIRED WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS NOT DEALER PARTS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I HAVE TO HAVE THE FRONT END REALIGNED TO STRAGHTEN OUT MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE MORE BUT I'M TIRED OF TYPING...YOU DECIDE. I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY THAT CAN MAKE UP FOR MY FINANCLE LOSS,INCONVEIENCE,AND OVER ALL PAINFUL EXPERIENCE.

I was baited in with a low price and promises of quick service. Once they had me by the cojones and had gutted my transmission, they changed the terms of our verbal and written agreement and proceeded to charge me three times more. They dented and scratched my car and acted as angry children when I had my car removed from them. I had to pay another shop to finally fix the problem. My experience with the other shop wasn't a great improvement either, but Rene's Transmissions is in a class of their own as far as being an all around sham and scam of an operation. If you value your hard-earned money stay away from them.

Let me start by saying don't ever bring your vehicle here. I can't believe they're still in business, and I can't believe I'm the first to review It's a really long story, but I can only use 2000 characters, so I'll give you the bottom line. They refused to acknowledge problems which they created, yet fixed them secretly when the car was brought back. Bolts and parts were missing after the work was completed. The car will not shift into gear, and makes horrible screeching, grinding, and clanking sounds when the clutch is not fully engaged. You have been warned. 2007 Mini Cooper S Turbo.

I took my car to this guys shop to get some fuel injectors installed and when i went back the owner told me my engine had locked up. now im not a person that a little or a lot about car but this sounded absolutely rediculous to. i mean i drove my car up there and now i cant drive it out.

I am shocked that Bemer Motor Cars auto repair would receive good reviews when the owner/operator Mr. Julian Martinez has done nothing but give me the run around on an estimate to repair my 1972 Mercedes. He had my vehicle for nine (9) business days and could not give me an estimate when he promised the estimate in two (2) business days. After the second business day ended, Mr. Martinez kept telling me to come back tomorrow and he would have an estimate. This went on for the next seven (7) business days until I picked up my Mercedes and took it to another repair shop. With this said, customers "BE AWARE". What Mr. Martinez finally gave me is an offer to purchase my classic 1972 Mercedes for $1,500.00. Something to think about before you trust your investment to Mr. Julian Martinez owner and operator of Bemer Motor Cars / Auto Repairs). May GOD forgive him for the way he has treated me and the treatment he is about to give you.

A part was ordered from this place with the vehicle registration papers. Gaberial and his friends at Garry's auto parts are so unprofessional and lies. Not only did they steel almost $700.00 for a part on a car, but they purposely ordered the wrong part, despite being given they correct information and they intellectually lied and forged signature saying that we ordered the wrong part. We tried calling and even reasoning with them. Gaberial told us a bunch of lies just to keep his commission for the services which he and Garry's Auto parts intentionally did. They like to scam and steal money. The sad thing is they've had their part untouched and unused and they still kept our money as paid out customers. Gaberial tried to hang up on us and almost cursed us out for calling him. He lies and say they have a manager who is never in. He is always out and he is never available. If you have an issues, you can not call them or count on them. We even called other people on his team who lied and said He's not in, and they would put us on hold for 40 minutes to an hour, then they would act like they could not understand anything, and from there we had to call from a different number and when we did he was steel trying to dodge us about the part and the money. we even tried to work with them by asking them to find another part for the car in exchange. they never did it, they would laugh, and lie and act like they did not understand and was unconcern and would even make fun of our situation and say, well you told us this, when we in fact told them nothing, but gave them the documents for the vehicle....They all Thieves and Lairs and they pretend to car , when in fact they don't! They are beyond a mess.
