Had my transmission die while traveling through Austin. Little did I know… the transmission was just the beginning. My little car had been running with a whole lot of broken bits and pieces and Philip really worked with me to get me back on my wheels. My little civic Carmelita bounced back and is fresher than she’s been in years, peppy torque, cold AC blowing like an arctic wind. Really grateful for their team over there. 🐸

ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS!!Not only did they keep my car longer than the estimated time (about a WEEK difference) but also when the time came for payment the price was double what the estimate was without ever consulting me about it. And to top it all off they did not perform half the work they said they did to my car. Let me repeat that. They DID NOT PERFORM THE WORK THEY CHARGED ME FOR! Unprofessional, dishonest, shady, and unbelievable that they advertise this location and that this type of business happens at a well known and reputable name. Do NOT agree to a handshake cash deal even if they say they could save you money that way because that is what that manager Phil pulled on me for months costing me HUNDREDS of dollars! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

Brought my vehicle into this shop and they took good care of me. They communicated well and were professional. I appreciate Phillip and his team conducting business in a trustworthy way!

I just moved to Austin so finding a new mechanic is always daunting but I was so fortunate to come across Philip at AAMCO! Him and Jon were so very helpful in getting my brake light fixed quickly and all while being so polite and professional. I really felt comfortable with them and though I know it was just a small fix, I feel confident they will be able to help me with all my car maintenance needs from now on! Thank you guys!

I exclusively use AAMCO on s. Lamar because I have continuously gone in and felt confident I am being properly taken care of and not being sold on services I dont actually need. The service is phenomenal and they are the most trust worthy mechanics I have ever worked with. I will never take my cars anywhere else!My most recent visit I had a very costly issue but Phil did some research and found there was a recall that saved me literally thousands!

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I was quoted $1,089 for parts and labor and told my car would be done later that afternoon or the next day. I also asked if he would be willing to change my oil since he already had the car up. Car took an extra day, my total was over $1,300 because of two other parts that were installed and I wasn’t informed of and they didn’t even change my oil. Do not take your car here.

Phillip and the team at AAMCO were amazing. I had taken my car to both a dealership and another shop prior and neither was able to diagnose the issue I was having with a thumping noise and shuddering when accelerating. AAMCO was the first to suggest I replicate the noise by driving with the technician who would be working on it. They quickly diagnosed one problem, were extremely communicative throughout the process (even sent me a video recording of what was causing the issue) and promptly fixed it. Where Phillip went above and beyond was helping me navigate a complicated insurance situation regarding another issue with a previous repair by another shop. Again w/ great communication. I know he was busy, but he made me feel like his only customer.

My transmission went out a few weeks ago on my way back from business outside of Austin, I had my truck towed to Aamco Siouth Lamar, that was when I met Phillip, he was I believe the manager, my transmission need a full rebuild, which they completed for the price stated. After getting my truck back home a problem arose with a bearing outside of the transmission, I took it back to Austin and not only did they replace the bearing at no charge, Phillip even deliver my truck to me at a meeting place between Houston and Austin late last night at no expense to me. Phillip went above and well beyond what the majority of managers would have done.Thanks again Phillip you are truly head and shoulders above the rest 👍Kerry OwensMontgomery TX

Great service from Phillip and his team. They were fast, honest pricing and excellent work. 30 years in the business and I can see why. Would recommend and will definitely go back for any car maintenance & repairs. Thanks again Phillip

Have a older Chevy Avalanche that needed a transmission rebuild. Spoke with Philip, who was great to work with. Great communication and worked with me on the pricing. Fixed the transmission, as well as a couple of other things from a previous incidence that was overlooked by myself. Communicated before doing anything extra. I usually like to take care of my vehicles myself, I tend to have trust issues. Highly recommend and will go again when need arises.Thank you Philip!

I took them up on their free diagnosis for my clutch, and while I ended up getting the repairs elsewhere, they gave me no trouble at all when I declined their services after the diagnosis. I think that type of honesty and integrity deserves five stars!

I had an amazing experience with Phillip - he was communicative, friendly, and fixed my car for a fair price. He earned my trust and I will be taking my car to AAMCO from now on!

Great customer service! We’ve been here several times and they’re always friendly and professional. Phillip is awesome!

Fantastic service! I have gone to this shop 3 times and each time was met with exceptional service. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs work done.

Took it in for an assessment of what repairs might be needed before I sell my car. Dropped it off at 8:30am, couldn’t pick it up until 5pm. Cost me $139 for this assessment, which seems like a lot. They suggested I replace the front brakes and rotors. The quote was for around $550 - which is also on the high end given that rotors & brake pads for this car cost around $150-$200 total. Phillip was plenty friendly, and certainly could have suggested a number of high-cost repairs but he seemed honest when saying that brakes were really the most pressing issue. Minor thing, they didn’t use those little paper floor mats and got grease and dirt on the floor, which I had just spent a bunch of time shampooing.

Mr. Phillip Reyna and his team were very helpful. I was having issues with my Wrangler that involved noises in the transmission area. I went in to see if they could help and Phillip was very professional. He said nothing would be done without my consent and they would take a look at what was the problem. After one day I got a call and he informed me that I needed to clean up the clutch and flywheel of the Jeep. He sent me pictures via txt and I saw what he was talking about. He then informed me that the clutch and flywheel needed to be replaced, the transmission was in good shape but those two parts needed to get replaced. I then informed him to proceed with the work and I am very happy I did. The Jeep has never been better. Everything works great, since then Ive had no issues. I most definitely recommend you visit Phillip. Very honest and nice gentleman. He was a straight shooter from the beginning. You wont be disappointed.

This place is great! I moved nearby and needed to get some things looked at in my car. After reading other reviews, I decided to give them a try since it would be super convenient. Since I know nothing about cars (a mechanics dream customer), I had to place a ton of trust in what I was being told and could only hope I wasnt being ripped off. Im glad I did and wont hesitate next time. I had an unfortunate minor accident and did not realize the damage until after they did a thorough inspection of my car, which they did. Once I was educated about the extensive repairs that were needed, Phillip also made sure that I could afford to have it done. Within a couple of days, they had her back up and running and just like new! They are a bustling place (that alone should tell you that they are good), so you may need to wait a little longer than your typical mechanic, but I assure you that they make sure everything is done correctly and not just rushing to get you out. Phillip, in particular, is accommodating, and from the little I saw that man deserves a raise! Thank you, AAMCO!

I live nearby this shop, and when the starter on my car died, I walked to this shop and inquired about getting a tow truck to drop my car off at the business. Unlike any other mechanics, who just would’ve towed my vehicle and charged me for the diagnostic, the manager let me borrow his portable battery charger first, to see if the battery was the issue.Before any repairs were made to my car, the manager sent me photographs of the repairs needed and explained everything carefully, with detail. Before he did any work, he offered to show me what was wrong at the shop.Couldn’t have been fortunate enough to find such a trustworthy shop - where the work is just as good! Would recommend to anyone!

I needed brakes about a week after grinding started, left my car overnight to get a quote and they said my calipers were ruined. They wanted to charge me about $2500 between parts and labor for this job. Got a second opinion and my calipers were fine, and paid about $200. Also left the lot with a noise in my car because of a cap they left loose and had to turn right back. I am a female in my 20s and absolutely feel like they were trying to take advantage of me. Definitely not an honest mechanic.

Phillip is very helpful. Very pleasant. Took my car in for a cv boot repair. Ended up needing both front axle boots repaired. Was called that my car was ready. But Phillip told me that ball joint needed to be fixed as well. My confusion was when they drove my car it was making the noise that indicated thats what it is. So now I have to take it back and more $$$ to have that repaired as well.

Phillip and his team is friendly, informative, direct, on time and there are lots more great things I can say but I think for the most part I think I found the place that I can trust to take care of all of my vehicles if anything ever comes up. Its hard to find this kind of service where you do not have to question if your being swindled and or up charged for no reason. Thank you for such great customer service! As for my car, it runs ands feels like when I first bought it.

They took advantage of me in my time of need.I’ve panicked for a long time with this truck; getting stranded, not starting. I haven’t had a hoopty since I was 18yrs old. And just when I needed help the most to keep it going until I could get another vehicle!Until my husband quit his job 4 years ago and we lost our home and property. I panic every time I get behind the wheel, hoping I don’t get stranded! I’d rather not have a heart attack before I get to retire!I’ve paid for him and his 2 kids for that long. He kept the truck going for that long. After being stranded, of course!But now he’s gone. I had no choice but to TRUST A Nation Wide Machanic shop to get it inspection ready. Or just to keep it going for a little longer! Until I could get an ID/Drivers license renewal. How did I get a loan; or 2 loans to be exact without an ID?? Not to mention a decades old signature!Not only did they NOT do the work I was charged an arm and leg for; that could have waited! But screwed me out of my money and time to get the work that actually needed to be done!!! And charged me twice for my own power steering pump; cash AND on one of my two loans I can’t afford; To help me out! Ha! And No receipt for it! What a joke! Spray painted, really! Same old pump!!!! Never even did a diagnostic check. Said we’ll do that at the 10 day check up; because my loans were maxed out!Philip thought he found a stupid female! Ha! They never even dropped the transmission; only pressure washed the under side and put in a new filter. You really think lm that stupid!!!???Because I was charged for work that was never done, I can’t get the work that does need to be done now!Now! After all that; I know they messed with other things, to insure I’d spend more $$$$$$ that I don’t have on that 10 day check up!And now my truck won’t start.!!!! It cost me about $500 in Ubers just to get to work for the 2wks it took them to do NOTHING but charge me for work they never did and made it worse!!!!!!They took advantage of me and my ignorance of mechanical issues and I will live on the streets if that’s what it takes to bring Them DOWN!!!!! I’m looking and will find an attorney to get them back; if it breaks me! I’m already broken so what do I care what it cost!Also the Better business bureau, news, reviews ect, ect, ect!!!! Whoever will listen!Nobody will fool me again!!Thanks again for the emotional and financial stress. I will never forget it.Signed: A Woman Scorned

Brought in a pretty messed up transmission and these guys did what it took to get the job done. Was very pleased with the price and the work they did.

This is my go-to place. They are always very helpful and very trustworthy. Highly recommend!

PHILIP AND HIS CREW ARE AWESOME!!!! I took my car to 4 different shops before these guys properly diagnosed it as the transmission being done. I shopped around and AAMCO was not only the fastest but also a fraction of the price. Even though it was way more affordable than others I still couldnt do it because of a tight budget. Philip was not having it! He went above and beyond to help me out. This was big because I use my car for work. I was communicated with about every step and my car was ready a day early. I highly recommend Philip and the great team at AAMCO!

I came to Austin for the weekend and experienced major issues with my truck. Philip and his team solved the issue quickly and got me back on the road so I could get home and get back to work. These guys are intelligent, professional and went above and beyond to get my vehicle on the road in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone in the Austin area.

Excellent work and quick turnaround

Philip was awesome! He helped me troubleshoot all my problems and was exceptionally communicative during the entire process. He worked so diligently to ensure I was getting the best value possible, while understanding what needed repairing. Recently moved to Austin, and successfully found my new go-to mechanic! He diagnosed my problems immediately and I got my car up and running.

Be aware dont go to this place they rip u off .they want open my transmission and they want charge me 950 .

In my opinion, I wouldnt let these people repair anything I own, whether it be a freakin matchbox car, horse & buggy, nor moped!

Phillip Reyna and his crew did a fantastic job of replacing my transmission on my 97 Ford Explorer on a timely manner. He also helped made it financially easier for me.The customer service provided was exemplary.If anyone had problems with their car then I would recommend AAMCO at South Lamar with Phillip Reyna helping you.

I had a really positive experience with Phillip and his team. He went out of his way to explain the serious situation with my brakes to me. Basically, I’ve been driving on a wing and a prayer, and I knew that I had a problem. He helped me to get the necessary work done. He gave me every discount he could think of, and helped find temporary financing to be able to get the work done on my truck, so my truck would be safe to drive. Thanks guys!

My friend took her car here (against the advice of AAA to let the vehicle run for 20 minutes and take the car to AutoZone) and they charged her $400 for a new battery. Part of it was $129 for cleaning the old battery first as some sort of test solution (which they have to know is not going to do anything) and then $319 for a new battery installed which is beyond ridiculous. I understand their specialty is Transmissions but I definitely would not trust their honest opinion on something as expensive as a transmission.

A really fantastic experience for getting my transmission fully replaced - very thorough and friendly staff. Consistently went above and beyond in ensuring they were sending me off with a safe and well-functioning vehicle. The total repair took only a little longer than expected and they provided clear and consistent communication throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend, and will be coming here for all future car check-ups, big and small.

Great service. Phillip and his crew got my f150 transmission issues solved and repaired super fast now my truck drives like new and its 10years old. Thanks guys

Great costumer service

Phillip does his best to get you the best deal possible. He replaced a transmission for me so I put a lot of trust in his word and his work. Im happy I did so.

Always friendly and helpful every time I’ve gone, they take care of you good without no issue. Highly recommend!

Friendly folks, great service.

Im so pleased with the service I received here! Phillip hooked me up when I was in a bind. I needed my work vehicle back by the weekend for traveling the following week and he was able to get it done by Friday afternoon. And at a great price! Highly recommended!

I went to this guy to have my valve gaskets replaced and the alternator belt tightened. Job was $360, plus I gave them a $40 tip. As I drove home the compressor seized up and my compressor belt snapped off the truck (suspicious timing). I brought the truck back for review and they said the compressor was seized. I told them not to do anything because I didnt have the money to fix it right now, but they went ahead and decided to put a new compressor belt on for $100 which they knew would snap off a mile down the road (made it as far north as Chewys). The valve gasket job should of cost $300, plus they cheated me out of another $100 by putting a new compressor belt on a seized compressor. The truck would have been fine to drive home (3 miles north) with no air conditioning... Im very disappointed with the service, and I hope they didnt break anything else on my truck (2003 Tacoma with 125,000 miles). I do not recommend them.

- They gave me different quotes for the same service.- Their employees stole out of my vehicle- after spending thousands of dollars, they returned my vehicle without any gas.Avoid bringing your vehicle here

I have always had a great experience at this shop. The team of guys are great, and for how close to downtown they are their prices are cheap. They have gone above and beyond several times for me, including driving me home, get same-day repairs done. I trust these guys, and would recommend this place if you are looking for a solid, no nonsense shop.

The guys at AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care on Lamar Blvd truly are pros in automotive repair. I can always rely on them to get my repairs & tune-ups done in a quick, reliable and professional manner. If you do not have access to another vehicle or need a ride somewhere, they will stop what they are doing and make it convenient for you to go about your day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND AAMCO for anyone looking for a reliable group of auto experts.

We have come to Philip three times over the last year with four cars (isnt our luck awesome lol?), and he has been INCREDIBLE each and every time! He is a very kind and understanding man. He is extremely considerate of your schedule and needs, and communicates clearly what his repair ETAs are - and for us been done right when he says he will be! He explains the problems thoroughly and honestly, and our cars still run beautifully! We are forever grateful for his help, and know your vehicle is in GREAT hands!

James is super friendly, as well as every other person that works there. I was getting my oil changed and they found both from tires were loose and about to fall off! He quickly came back with an itemized quote and gave me a card in case I had any questions for later. I came back the next morning to get it fixed, and they had my car out of there before 2PM. These are great people and I completely trust them.

I checked on reviews and considered that service would help... I came with low oil and engine check sign... they said it take a while (3-4) hours for diagnostics... and here we are. Now it’s going the second day... they still didn’t finish diagnostic. We are family with a baby, and have just one car... it’s sad when you hear second time it’s going to be done tomorrow. Be wise!Updated:I just want to add. I was surprised that owner is reading reviews. Good sign. Next day as was promised our car was diagnosed and fixed. Thank Philip who explained everything.

We were visiting family in the Austin area when my car began making some noises that needed investigating before driving home 1200 miles north through snowy weather. Philip and the techs at the South Lamar Aamco Transmissions worked me in to their schedule and quickly diagnosed a failing wheel bearing, emergency brake shoe, and disc brake pads that needed service. The tech took me to the bay and showed me each issue and got my concurrence. They ordered, received, and replaced the parts, and did a test drive. The whole thing took just a few hours and back on the road. All the issues were resolved. I felt confident about driving into the great white north. Great courteous, professional, speedy service! Thanks so much guys!

This place is great! Thanks for taking care of my car, Kevin (and team)! My Honda Hybrid has well over 200,000 miles and, subsequently, needs maintenance. Often. Kevins team quickly figured out I needed to replace one of my O2 sensors and went above and beyond to find one around town to fix it same day. Very pleased with the service received and will be back next time!

IF YOUR CAR IS LOWERED; READI just moved to the area from Florida, and I was in need of an oil change. I have a lowered car and was having trouble finding a shop in town that could get my car over the grates to do an oil change. Jiffy Lube couldnt get my car to clear. Went next door to Goodyear, they couldnt get my car onto the lift there either. So, I called AAMCO and spoke with James. He said they had never had a problem with getting a car to clear. GREAT! I had already bought my own oil and filter previous to me moving out here (knowing it would have to be changed after that drive). They got my car in no problem and got my oil changed in less than 10-15 minutes. They were quick and professional. I will definitely go to them again for all my future maintenance.

So helpful! My van needed a lot of work and they did a great job on all of it.

Great staff! My father and I came in to get an oil change this past weekend, and the manager, Phillip, was extremely friendly and helpful. Additionally, super fast turnaround for my oil change. I highly recommend!

I needed my clutch completely replaced, took it to four different places before here and was quoted insane prices.. aamco had the best price and even helped me out a little bit. Really awesome guys, you can tell they are honest, hard workers and not just trying to squeeze every penny out of you. Ive already recommended them to two different people with clutch/transmission problems and will continue to do so. Thanks again guys!

James is absolutely incredible! I took my car in with an AC issue thatd Id already had fixed elsewhere twice before. After a brief wait he took me out to the car and actually showed me the underlying problem and explained that until that was fixed I would continuously be replacing the same parts. He originally gave me a quote which seemed reasonable and competitive, but promised to try to find a better deal on the part as I had only been in town for a week and was low on expendable cash due to my move. James called all over town to get me the best deal and was even able to offer a student discount! I would highly recommend James and his team for any auto repair needs, he truly cares about helping people and not just making money like some others out there.

Ive had a check engine light come on and found myself at the Honda dealership. They wanted $3500 to replace my transmission. I talked to a friend that recommended I call around and do some research. Bobby at Aamco told me it may not need another transmission. He recommended I bring it to him for a free check. I had nothing to loose. Im a single mom on a fixed income. I dropped my car off to Bobby, he called me later that afternoon. He said the codes in the computer told him there was some solenoid that needed replaced. He did explain that once they replaced it they would need to recheck to make sure nothing else was wrong. I gave him the go ahead, $289 sounded a lot more affordable. He called me a few hours later and gave me the good news. My car was fixed and ready for me to pick up.Bobby explained everything so I could understand and was very honest. I will be back.

Stopped by for a totally unrelated car problem, they helped me out free of charge and saved my day! Extremely friendly and professional service. I know where I am taking my car maintenance business from now on!

This place restored my trust in auto mechanics! I brought my 2005 Toyota Matrix to them yesterday for a second opinion after being told by Charles Maund Toyota that it needed a completely new transmission for $4,000 and thats after I had to pay them another $90 for them to tell me what was supposedly wrong with it. I brought it to AAMCO on S.Lamar at 8 am and only said the check engine light was on and it had a kick in low gears. They even dropped me off at work. I knew by 10:45 am what was wrong and how much it would cost. Turns out i only needed a valve replaced and it was only going to be around $700. A much better solution than the dealer. They had the car done by 5:30 and the customer service manager, Bobby, even picked me up at work even though they closed. The car runs perfectly! I couldnt be happier with their service. Honest folks who went out of their way to provide me with superior service.These guys could have easily done the same thing as the dealer and said i needed a new transmission, but they only fixed what needs to be replaced. Bobby also said that if i did need a new transmission it would have only have been $2800, not the $4000 the dealer wanted to charge me. Thankfully i dont need that thanks to Bobby and the other honest guys at AAMCO S. Lamar.

Philip was great! He did what he could to bring down the price of the transmission repair on my daughter’s car. Then he and his electrician went miles out of their way to diagnose an electrical problem she had been dealing with for a while. I highly recommend.

Came for a diagnosis on my car as I was traveling access Austin. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Would recommend anytime. My car was back in less than an hour with good advice and detailed way forward.

James and his crew run a tight super. They gave me a FREE diagnosis when some people wanted $90 to run and check my check engine codes. Their fast, straight shooters and get the job done. My truck was in and out in a day. I rarely use garages and prefer to do the work myself but I wouldnt hesitate to use them again if needed.

Best mechanic experience Ive ever had. I drive a Volvo C30 and know absolutely nothing about cars. My breaks were squeaking and I was also due for my 60K mile check up. These guys could have easily pulled the wool over my eyes and charged me for a bunch of services I didnt need, but didnt. Very nice, told me exactly when I would need to come back in and what I would probably need to get done next time. Will definitely be going here from now on. If I had three hands, I would give three thumbs up.

For some reason I gave this Aamco a second chance years ago. James was sitting behind the desk instead of the other manager and things went COMPLETELY differently. I had a instrument panel problem NO ONE could figure out. James and his guys spent hours figuring it out finally. I just got a transmission rebuild for a really fair price and my Dodge Ram 2500 drive way better than it did before. THANKS JAMES!!!

Wow - best service by Phillip! What a great experience after losing my transmission. Fast, reliable & courteous. Phillip walked us thru every step of the process and was always calling to provide updates. Great service!

Great staff and excellent customer service!! Quick and efficient oil change at a great price! I will definitely be back for my routine oil change.

Good service, great prices

Originally I thought it was just the clutch, but later found out it was the catalytic converters and the engine computer. They have been very patient with me concerning paying for the car, and even offer some financing solutions. And, worst case scenario, have allowed for me to make payments to them, and not add an extra charge for car storage.

Would give 10 stars, if they had a button. Phillip(Service Manager) and Clayton (Technician) helped with a front headlight replacement bulb. I hit a really big pot hole in the middle of dark, lost a hubcap and this bulb. Phillip rolled up his sleeves and got to work, but Managerial Duties prevailed and he past the project on to Clayton, who finished the job in record speed(less than 5 mins)That type of classic customer service, is Rarely!! Especially in Austin. Will be back. When the car starts to rattle or things fall apart.

This place is great, it was quicker and cheaper than the Jiffy Lube down the road. The staff are friendly, polite, and professional. It only took 10 minutes for an oil and fuel filter change and the took a look around and told me what needs replacing. 10/10!

I went in earlier this year for an oil change and I let the guy know I thought I had a coolant leak. The smoke diagnostic test to detect the leak was about $100. I wasnt going to do it because of the cost but he told me not to worry about it and did it for free. No leak, oil change went well, staff was extremely nice.After that experience, I decided this would be the only place I have my car serviced. 8,000 miles later, this past weekend, I went in for another oil change. Different mechanic this time, but equally nice. They replaced my oil and the filter my car takes is about $40, so all in all its about an $80 process. I went to pay, the mechanic waved me off and told me this one was on him.I meant to write a review after my first experience with the shop but after two extremely generous acts like that theres not way I cant recommend these guys for anybody who reads this. If you need any work done on your car, go to Aamco.

James was awesome. Ive done so many fixes on my 03 F250 that I was paranoid my transmission was slipping. I dropped it off ready to pay out the wazoo and James assured me I was just experiencing some normal slack in the drive train...no slipping transmission. He had me come pick it up and wished me luck at no charge!Id give 6 stars if I could.

I took my car in and thought my transmission was DONE! Phillip helped me get it back to purring like a kitten in just a few days and at a great price. Thanks Phillip!

I want to preface this review by explaining that I had the WORST service of my cars life here last year BUT the regional manager, local owner and new shop manager Bobby Morgan have gone above and beyond to give GREAT service and remedy the problems from the (no longer employed) previous regime. They are clean, courteous, timely and helpful, affordable and even called to make sure I was happy. I WILL and DO recommend them now to friends and neighbors.

Over quoted. The issue we had only costed $300 but they were telling us (without a proper inspection or even a test drive of the vehicle), that it needed all new brake pads and roters. This came out to almost $1200. Id choose another high quality mechanic in the area.

Our moving company, Jackalope Moving, has used James and the Aamco team a few times in the last couple years and they are the best! Prices are always fair, timing is always right, and the customer service is impeccable. Working with them is always a pleasure and we highly recommend this location! Again, the manager James, has an old fashioned way of handling his customers with care and respect, something that is rare these days!

They did free AC check which costs ~$80 in other autos. It was a thorough check up with the use of computer system. I got my AC fixed. It is working fine. I paid $140 for replacing two items and all the labor.

First-time customer and will definitely be returning. Quick service, fair pricing, and you can tell James and his staff value their customers which goes a long way

Went to James to have differential work done. Original quote was $ 1500.00 after truck on lift and apart now $2500.00. Took home & oil was leaking out differential. Took back to James front seal bad & wasnt part of original work no warranty & extra $ 1000.00. 1 1/2 yrs later 20 k miles down the road and out of warranty, same problem with the rear end. James arrogance is something to be desired as well. Sick of hearing commercials on the radio about how great these guys are. What a joke!

I was hoping to not have to come here and write a review. I hate doing these, so it should mean something that Im taking my time to write this. This place is a sham. I am out around $2,000 now. I wanted to get my brakes pads changed a while back, and they insisted my rotors were shot and had to be replaced as well. All four... Shouldve known then there was trouble. I decided they were the experts so if they say so I guess I just had to live with the price bump. Upon getting my car, I noticed a fair bit of rust on the new rotors and felt something was off. I went back to them and questioned them on the actual rotor replacement. Their mechanic checked it out and everything was right. They said the rust was normal and would come off with time. My wife and I couldnt really afford the repairs but had no choice so we were down a fair bit of money. Now over the last few weeks, Ive heard a lot of squeaking and so I brought my car to a shop I had starting using due to AAMCOs shadiness. My new shop tells me I need to replace my rotors and pads. What a surprise, right? I mentioned to them I had already replaced them and my new shop, showing me pictures of my rotors and pads, are telling me I was probably duped and all they did was put low end pads on old rotors. Ive since reached out to AAMCO and the manager would not even look at my car and just said thats what happens with rotors and pads and that every time they change brakes they change rotors too. (I know people that change their brake pads regularly, that would cost a fortune to do rotors every time). Oh but get this, he did offer to give me a deal over the other repair shops estimate. What a generous man! Im fed up. Now, with a 4 month old, I am going to have to shell out more money to repair something that Ive already paid for once. Please do not give this company business. Find someone else. Total sham.

The service was beyond quick, even with them having to order parts to fix my issue. I felt assured and was updated consistently with the status of my car. It was a crappy situation that was made easy to deal with by the fine gentleman at AAMCO on S Lamar

Pulled in a couple hours to close this Saturday looking for a brake/rotor replacement. James got me in right away and offered me fair market price with a 12,000 mile parts and labor warranty. No corners cut with these guys; its either the right way or the highway! Recommend there services

Took my car to several places to work on the transmission and it was a nightmare. None of them could figure it out. I came across the AAMCO team at S. Lamar and they were able to identify the problem and correct it ASAP. Not only was it corrected but they were able to turn around the car pretty fast. Both James and Jerry were outstanding. Ill be back, Thank you AAMCO!

I originally took my car in to have the AC looked at. Based off of the great reviews and their free AC check advertisements. I was told that I would need to have the whole AC compressor replaced due to defective pipes for $1450.00. After a getting a second opinion my car only needed 2 new air filters (because of the model car i drive) and more freon @ a cost of $172 total. I have never had much luck when it comes to dealing with mechanics, (some say its because Im a women) but all I know is that if I was not smart enough to get a second opinion I would be paying a thousand plus dollars unnecessarily. Thanks aamco for confirming the belief that if you have breasts you will be taken advantage when you take your car in to a mechanic.

Really honest. They really took care of me here. They tried to keep my costs down. I will come back!

I had a great experience with the guys at AAMCO on Lamar. They were prompt and friendly. They replaced my battery and also saw a problem with my exhaust and fixed that too! Thanks James and everyone for making the whole ordeal super easy to deal with.

I was not sure what was wrong with my car but just by me describing the problem they knew what was wrong with it and went right to work. Other places wanted to charge me $100 just to look at it. AAMCO is the best place to go.

My friend pulled into this Aamco on Friday September 25 with an issue with her windshield wiper. Josh immediately came up to our window and asked us what was the problem. He looked at our broken windshield wiper and within 10 minutes repaired it for us. He was very helpful, kind, gracious, and knowledgeable.

After having at first had some problems with work done here, the new manager went above and beyond to ensure the problem was fully dealt with and did everything in his power to correct the situation. He even extended the warranty and redid all the work that had been done first time round free of charge.

I went in to get my check engine light turned off and James was very brief and seemingly unwilling to work with me as far as making me comfortable with working with him. I informed him I had been to other mechanics and was a little frustrated. He gave me my key back and said, Come back when youre ready to fix it. Granted, he said this with a smile. I did not appreciate the haste. It immediaty turned me away. They all cant be winners. Still looking for a mechanic.

Ive been hearing about them on radio a lot and then it happened. Check engine light came on. I brought it in and they diagnosed the problem in less then ten minutes. I didnt have time to get it fixed it but brought it the next day. Never have I seen service done so fast. When it came down to price I was honest about my income and the gm pretty much took off 150 dollars and let me pay over the next two weeks. I will be coming back next time the light shows its ugly face again.

Very friendly staff and a great job done efficiently and quickly. Definitely be back for our next routine maintenance.

Now Im believer. Google Reviews-Aamco Austin, Texas South Lamar & Lamar Square. Philip R. really came through in such a way I am indebted for the speed and delivery of the imminent repair. Aamcos Cavalry came to my rescue. I had known I had a broken clutch-Brad@Lube PitStop and Patrick@Advanced Auto Parts had nearly properly diagnosed it was something called a throw-out bearing which would require parts replaced-clutch assembly kit, and slave cylinder. Philip would later identify the culprit it as the pilot bearing exploded. The potential of these parts and costs began to pile up in my mind-especially the labor! Increasingly the pressure weighed heavily on my heart; wrenching, “I do NOT want to throw in the towel just yet and settle on financing a new pre-owned vehicle! I want my baby to work as she always has; just WAIT another year or two, PLEASE!” I tried to reassure myself. Resolved I was going through with this repair; my heart sunk, my mind rhetorically then asked of my heart, “Great, now what?! How do you suppose we’re going to do just that, hmm?!” I knew the score; it wasn’t going to be easy; but alas I remembered the parable Jesus told about the barren fig tree; I read this passage, meditated on it and prayed about my situation pouring over Luke 13:6-9.Flashback: nearly a month ago when I drove from home @South Austin to Round Rock & back ~forty miles, as my truck she had been making a noise like a liquid metal rattling seemed to be increasing for a few days until the manual transmission literally froze up. I was driving in third gear on Oltorf throwing it in neutral flying down a hill through Pleasant Valley intersection then easing it back into third up the hill into the left turn lane onto Wickersham. Thankfully all this happened at this safe spot on a quiet night with little traffic. Taking a breath, praying with my head on the steering wheel, I turned off & on the ignition; it took tremendous strength to get the manual transmission back into gear that had just seized. Miracle-or was it?! The next morning Patrick@ Advanced Auto Parts ominously matter-of-factly said that the likelihood of it locking up again would most likely occur. I appreciated his candor; not ignoring that Im not of the woods just yet. I mobilized my heart into motion with due diligence going in person and calling over a handful of other mechanics & garages that might help; and Im sure they could’ve; trying to learn as much as I could about the challenge now confronting me. I could get the parts at a discount on a perks program and have them sent to my mailbox; Ok now I’m supposed to count on my billiards buddy Alan who has a friend Benny that knows Caesar an ACE certified mechanic?! Turns out Caesar has a body shop; not what I need! Lol. However I am thankful I have great friends that are willing to help. So I’d try one last time with Philip@Aamco. I was getting declines literally kitty-corner from Aamco because I admitted I didnt have great credit; Philip@Aamco calmly interrupted said looking me in the eye and said Paul, I want to help you (-The implication my credit situation was immaterial)” Even though I currently have a great job Amazon FC working hard the past six months; driving to San Marcos, racking up wear & tear at 68 miles round trip three days a week; knowing I am saddled in debt from student loans from a second degree; the fact remains my credit’s not so great. I was desperate for someone like Philip@Aamco to meet me half way. Not only was he able to secure financing for me that I can pay back in 90 days at no interest; he and his team hit a home run considering the circumstances, and were able to guarantee the repair-parts & labor AND under warranty- no less, at a much substantially lower cost than all other estimates! Philip also said if it requires a master cylinder or replacing the flywheel we’ll look at that IF or WHEN it’s needed. (He even re-surfaced the flywheel) So Philip your team at Aamco won you my customer loyalty and now Im a believer. So thank you again.So thank you again for making it!-Paul B.

James and crew fixed me up and had me back on the road QUICK... Affordable, well knowledge crew

Really wonderful service from kind, knowledgeable people. I highly recommend this shop!

When I dropped off my truck I forget I had a 150 dollars in my console and a 1000 rounds of 40 cal ammo and they fixed my truck and helped to finance the work and all my money and ammo was there I am a customer for life love yourself and your car take it to aamco

They told me it was impossible to replace my brake pads without replacing the rotors. They didnt even look at the car or the rotors, they just said it was mandatory! This is nonsense. Theyre just another scummy repair shop trying to scam folks who dont know better out of more money.

The workers are fast and well trained they got my truck in and out fast they also found what was wrong with my truck besides the Trans they did a great job next it will be my Mazda

Went in for an oil change and they proactively uncovered and fixed an issue with my brakes that would have rendered them useless. James and friendly and knowledgeable staff had me in and out in no time.

Great guys. Attentive and professional.

Aamco of awesome! Jose is awesome good quality work !! Thank you for fixing the terrible job done from a+ transmissions

Im from Chicago dont like to be taken for a ride and for the most part very direct an to the point. My Volvos (6 speed manual) clutch was staying on the floor after shifting from time to time, I felt that their may be air in the system and wanted to have it checked out but not at a dealer which would only want to replace the entire clutch. Without giving too much detailed information but only stating that the clutch sticks to the floor about once per week but there is no grinding what could it be.After speaking with Tolbert and the tech that looked at and drove my car, they were very upfront and honest with me and stated that I may only need to get the air out of the system, but because there are no apparent leaks it may be internal. They also stated that they could do it but if after bleeding the system I still have the same issue I would need to replace the Slave Cylinder and that would be a great deal of $$$.I decided to hold off at that point but truly thanked them for being upfront and honest with me about the issue and the opportunity to make an informed decision.I would recommend coming to see Tolbert at the South Austin AAMCO if you ever need honest service.Eric Slaughter - Chicago
