Overall my experience at the El Cajon AAMCO shop was great! They fixed my vehicle and provided me with quick service.
I have one word for the people at the shop.... fabulous! I absolutely love this shop and I love the follow up call.
The service was done in time and the vehicle works like a charm! Overall my wife and I are very happy with the shop!
I like the quick in and out service, the direct talk about what's wrong with my vehicle, and how to prevent it from happening again.
I love the shop, it's the only place I take me car. I love the guys at this shop, they do great work.
The service was excellent, the customer service was wonderful, they were very good to us.
The shop is always very good at getting the work done in a timely manor. I am satisfied with my experience as a whole.
Absolutely every about my experience with the shop was wonderful. The greeting when I walked in the shop, the service, and the fixed the problem. I will be taking my vehicle to this shop from now on.
Fabian, Tom, and the mechanics always do a terrific job. They are easy to work with, honest, and fair with their prices.
I've been taking my trucks to this shop for years now and I would never go anywhere else. Tod and Fabian are the gentlemen that I normally work with. I never have a problem, I don't trust my vehicles with anyone else.
The service was good, the people were friendly, and everything about the experience was great.
The El Cajon AAMCO shop does good work! I am very pleased with the work they recently did on my GMC.
Everyone at the shop is extremely friendly and courteous. My son and I enjoyed our experience at the shop.
I brought in my minivan with 200K miles and a transmission that was going out. The first visit my transmission was rebuilt and it cost was less than what the dealership quoted me. It drove so good as when I first bought the van which makes me wonder what I was driving the past couple of years as it was going bad.
The second time I brough my van in was it not being able to go over 3K RPMs. Found out a rodent chewed a line during the cold season. It was fixed again and I requested my squeaking brakes done as well. Very happy I have additional life in a van that transports kids and animals to club events. Very impressed with the great service. Thanks!
Todd is friendly, as well as thorough:)
I was very upset my new car had a check engine light on. He assured me it was a small issue after running the codes, which brought me relief. Excellent customer service!!!! I give him 5 stars all day!
This place is absolutely the best. I had my Audi TT encounter some trouble on the 8 coming into town. First I had it towed to an Audi dealership where they didn't seem to understand the problem. I kid you not I was quoted 10K to fix it. it ended up at the Aamco for a second opinion. Ended up being about $800. I drove it back to Phoenix recently - ran perfectly! Thanks Todd and gang for doing a fantastic job.
Great customer service. Was in and out in no time and my truck is running great. Todd and the Mechanics there are very helpful and full of great vibes.
The diesel guys at AAMCO are remarkably knowledgable. Chris and his team got the job done with no delay and their costumer service is top notch. I trust very few people with my truck but if I have to replace a part these guys will be to mechanics to do it. Thank you guys for everything.
Great service by honest and friendly guys! My husband checked out several places before taking his Jeep Wrangler to Aamco for a transmission flush. Todd got him in right away. Good prices and good work. What else could you ask for?
These guys turned what I expected to be a terrible experience into an awesome one. Not only was everyone friendly and helpful but they were able to get me back in the road for much less than I expected, AND with a working radio for the first time in a year, which was a total surprise!! Thanks guys!!
Just got my car back from them and couldn't be any happier!! Transmission are a very expensive repair, that being said they worked with me and were very professional. I highly recommend this place ask for tod!!! :)
I have a 2003 Corvette....about 5 years ago, I took it to a well know " lube garage" to have the oil changed. Thinking I was doing a good thing for my vehicle, I let the technician talk me into a transmission flush. Unbeknownst to me, they failed to refill the fluids in the transmission and sent me on my way. The following day, my car would not move. My husband had it towed to Todd AT AAMCO. They rebuilt my transmission and I have been their devoted client ever since. The lube shop did eventually pay us back for their incompetence.
I take my car in for oil changes and any other maintenance to AAMCO. I now have 103,000 miles on my little red Corvette and my engine light came on last week....they replaced gaskets and it's back on the road. Last year, my signal lights kept popping out. Chris at AAMCO researched the problem and found that the running lights were on constantly (a design flaw) and the plastic behind them had melted, so every time I got a car wash or it rained, the water would get in and the lights would blow out. Chris fixed them and I have had no problems ever since.
I am a 72 year old lady and I need to rely on the people who service our vehicles. I rely on Todd and Chris at AAMCO. I trust you too, will have the same great experience!
When you hear AAMCO you think transmissions. However, these guys do far more. My AC unit was out. I previously went to another shop and was quoted 1200 for the job. These guys did it for 500. Amazing job. And I'm riding comfortably in an ice box instead of a microwave with this heat. Thanks again!
Aamco is the bomb. My tranny went out and after going to a few transmission repair ships that wanted to overcharge me, Aamco didn't leave me hanging. Hooked me up with a new transmission at a responsible price. All the guys over there are really cool and not shady, I'm definitely going back!
Just wanted to update my review about their business. I still continue to go to this auto repair shop for my routine check ups because these guys let me know if there is anything else going on with my car. This is something I really like about this shop. They are always really concerned about the needs of my car.
Great place do business with. Todd is a good guy and he's very clear on the work and the amount that it's going to cost. I will definitely be back!
Outstanding service. If your looking for service on your transmission, look no further. This is the place for your vehicle. Todd is very straight forward, and gives excellent recommendations for any questions about your auto repair. I am definitely recommending my friends to this establishment.
I've had work done at this location a couple of times, the most recent being earlier this year, and it's refreshing to know that there are honest mechanics out there. Todd and his team have never steered me wrong. They always let me know what was going on with my car, and what all of my options were. They never beat around the bush or fabricate lies (which I've had happen to me, at other shops). And the great thing is they really care and they take the time to explain to me, whatever issues my car had, which is nice because I don't speak car. Definitely recommended.
Highly recommend AAMCO EL Cajon. These guys are freakin AWESOME! Brought my car in a couple weeks ago for a transmission flush, Chris was on point and had my car done in about 45 minutes. Todd was very friendly, professional , courteous and definitely knows about cars! He's been working on them for a long time!! Keep up the great work guys! :)
These guys are awesome! After being told by 2 mechanics that it would cost $4000 or more to replace our transmission, Todd and his crew fixed it for nearly half that! Todd is very personable, friendly and a delight to work with. I highly recommend these guys for an honest, fair price and a quality job well done!
I checked out a used car before buying it at everyone was really friendly and nice to me. Fabian checked the car completely, to see eventual leaks or problems. He found out there was a leak of the struts fluid, so after buying the car I took it there. They called me after they found the components telling me the final cost of the work and they asked me if I wanted to proceed or not. In less than 24 hours they changed both of my front struts, doing a great job for a very reasonable price.
Thanks again to Fabian and all of the guys there!!
I highly recommend AAMCO transmissions in El Cajon very friendly very fair and they always get the job done right have never had a problem with them great shop .
I can honestly say I have never been 100% happy at the end of a car repair.
Today that all changed.
I left AAmco having a transmission replaced.
Not only were their prices competitive but the customer service was great, no not great... Perfect!
Todd and Chris both took the time to explain each step of the way.
I am so grateful for this team!
Fantastic place to have work done on your auto. Professional to the max.
Thank you for being so honest
Great place to have work done and fantastic people.
thank you for taking care of my car
It was great doing business with you guys.
They did a great job on replacing my clutch. Very professional and knowledgeable.
A very busy little shop, but team members take the time to make you feel at ease and that you're in good hands. Delivered as promised; on time, and within the budget.
Very helpful & knowledgeable. Willing to give additional information outside of the job performed.
Great work, did not take long. Very professional. Thanks
Todd did amazing job! Went in with the check engine light on and they found out the problem fixed it and it wasn't to expensive and they didn't push me to fix something else like other places do! I will for sure go back to them with all my car troubles! Thanks so much Todd and your team!
Great service and very knowledgeable
In my experience, for every 10 bad car service places, there is maybe one good one. This is one of the good ones. Todd and Fabian are true professionals that care about their customers. They treat you like they would want their own family treated, when dealing with service shops. When dealing with these guys you can rest assured that you are only going to get the repairs necessary and you will be kept informed about the work being done. With so many horror stories you hear about shady places, it is a breath of fresh air to have shops like this around.
Quick and competitively priced, as always
Very happy with the repairs made to my transmission.
What a great effort by the team to fix my nissan. They are an awesome team.
Great service and I was asked to come back for a leak check. Fantastic.
Todd has been my go to guy for every thing, he's honest and fair. No run around or beating around the bush. Thanks for the excellent work and honesty it's hard to find that these days.
Again excellent service and customer service! No matter what the problem! outstanding troubleshooting and resolution! Thank You!
Took my BMW 745li there and they fixed the transmission without replacing the whole thing and saved me thousands of dollars because of their subject matter expert experience.
Amazing shop!! Very trust worthy. Thanks Mr. Todd and all of your staff.
Excellent service, Todd went the extra mile for me. I'd recommend AAMCO El Cajon to everyone.
I have complete trust in Tod and his staff. They have always treated me and my vehicle with the utmost respect, care and consideration
Everytime the service is superb.
I received a very good services with good communication with the team leader
My jeep was fixed in less than 24hours. I was also given an option on fixes for price consideration. I was amazed with the service and honesty and will highly reccomend your shop and use it anytime I need service. Thank You
As always, excellent service!
You guys always do a great job and I trust your recommendations completely!
Great service, car runs great so far. Thanks
You guys got me in quick, very friendly, very informative. My car drives a lot better than before. I'll be coming here for any and all repairs! Thanks guys!
Todd is upfront, gets right to the issue. Lets you know about things to keep an eye on rather than telling you it needs to be fixed or replaced right away. Full service shop, not just transmissions. We have all our fleet trucks serviced here.
The service was timely and professional. The problem with my vehicle was promptly identified and repaired.
Fair prices and professional service.
Very fast service. Todd was wonderful and kept in contact with me explaining everything along the way. Thank you!
Excellent comprehensive service. Attention to detail and customer service , Congratulations!
I trust them to fix my car and to not take advantage. Pretty important in my book.
ALWAYS good service from Fabian / Todd and the gang!
Todd and the team at the El Cajon AAMCO were great! I have a car that is highly modified and I was looking for the best way to repair/upgrade my transmission and Todd assured me that it could be done. He stayed in contact with me throughout the time my car was there and let me know what the upgrade would cost and what I could expect. I stopped by to retrieve some items from my car and the technician brought me out to the shop and showed my what was taken out and replaced and it was certainly an eye opener. I've gotten to "play" with my car since (it's not only my daily driver but an 1/8 mile street drag car) and I am impressed! I can't thank the guys enough - I will have to invite them to the track to show off my car to them. Thanks AAMCO of El Cajon!
They were super friendly and honored my free oil change from over a year ago! So very nice of them to do that! As a young female college student I was worried about getting scammed or persuaded into unnecessarily fixing things on my car and this was not the case at all!! The staff was professional and explained everything that was being done to my car to me. I have already recommended this automotive shop to several of my friends and they too had the same great experience! Trustworthy and affordable!
Thanks for another outstanding job!
Very helpful and accommodating.
You did a great job on our transmission and in a timely manner. Thanks.
I am very happy with the service I received. Thank you
always fast service and the job is done right the first time.
The service was great and I appreciated the explanation of what needed to be done. My car was repaired properly and returned promptly.
AAMCO did a excellent job on my wife car they installed a new clutch system on her mustang I shopped around and got different prices and AAMCO gave me price and the price did not change thanks.
Thank you Todd.
I always feel like my car is in good hands! thanks.
Service in El Cajon was excellent. Getting the transmission assembled and shipped to San Diego took a very long time and that was poor service
Love this shop! Todd is awesome!
Very trustworthy, excellent service. Highly recommend!
IT COULDN'T BE BETTER!
The service was great and they were quick to get our car back to us.
I am always happy with the work done at AAMCO El Cajon. Todd always treats us great!
They provided excellent services and didn't try to up sell. They even gave me two different options when they could of just gave me the highest price. But they didn't they were honest. I will be taking my car there for all future services and needs.
Took in my vehicle for a transmission service. It was done in a timely manner. Some other issues were pointed out but the service person did not push for the service to be done. He just gave me the options and I choose the best one. I will continue to take my vehicle back for regular services.
I went to get a transmission service. It was done in a timely manner. After the service some other areas that needed to be serviced were pointed out. The service man was open and honest about it, gave me a quote but did not try to push me into doing it. I did get the other services and everything was at the quote I was given. I will keep bringing my vehicle to this location.
Thank you so much! I got both of my cars oil change done here. They took car of the cars even late notice during the holidays!
Was recommended by another mechanic. Transmission was fixed and a sensor replaced, car runs a lot better. It's better to never have a transmission go bad, but if you do, you can rely on these guys to fix it. Thanks Todd and Fabian.
They must be doing something right! I keep coming back, to have work done on both my vehicle.
Fabulous job, thanks so much!
AAMCO always does a great job on all of my cars and trucks.
Todd and Fabian let me know what was needed for my 100K check-up and to get the check-engine light taken care of. I never felt like they were trying to make me spend more than what was needed. They are courteous (took me home while they worked on the Buick - ATF change, plugs and wires) and considerate of my situation (visiting from out of town). Great to know the work is guaranteed nationwide by AAMCO. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Todd, Fabian and crew!
This place is very customer friendly. They told me exactly what was wrong and didn't try to sell me more or less. Very straight to the point and my car was finished in a timely manner
I love how easy my clutch works now. I have already raved about your service. Thank you so much. You were very timely and very courteous
A month later, it still seems to be working well. Took a couple of tries to get it right, but now seems to be OK.
Fast, courteous service without an appointment. The Manager went and picked up parts to service my transmission, not wanting to make me wait for the delivery truck driver. Paying a little more for great service is worth it.
Fast friendly service and car is running amazing wasn't pushy about other parts and made it very easy to get back on the road
Great service! Job was completed quickly and efficiently. Very nice people. Competitively priced.

Todd was really good to work with. I brought a used car from the lot across the street to get looked at to help me decide whether or not I wanted to buy it. They gave me the good, the bad, and the ugly. Very honest, very thorough. I would definitely use them again to service my vehicles. Just wish they were closer to where I live in Point Loma.
Done well, fast service, considering the complexity of the job.

Took my 94 Bronco to one place and they told me it needed a $2400 overhaul. Took it to AAMCO and they found out it wasn't the transmission at all, but rather missing electrical signals the transmission needed to work right. They fixed the wires and it was $290 out the door. You never know who to trust, but I was really impressed with this place! I'll definitely use them again.

Best service ever. Todd even saved me money as one of the services I was told was necessary by another service station was not. AAMCO in El Cajon will be getting all my business from now on. knowledgeable staff, actually shows you what needs to be done on car, not just tells you, makes great recommendations.

AAMCO of El Cajon is the only AAMCO that gets the job done in a very professional manner. they don't give you excuses or try to con you in extra work. AAMCO of el cajon is the only car mechanic shop ill go for corrective and preventative maintenance on my vehicle. i highly recommend this AAMCO due to the manger todd that knows how to cater to the customers needs. thank you AAMCO of el cajon.
Todd always takes great care of me, and I feel you run an honest shop. As a woman who has been taken advantage of in the past by other "reputable" auto shops, I really appreciate having found a place I trust. I have recommended your shop to many of my friends.
Great service as usual. Always wonderful experience with Fabian and Todd.
Excellent Job.. Good Explaining regarding work done.
Excellent customer service, honest business ethics, no upscale gimmicks. They get the job done right at a reasonable price.

When it comes to AAMCO of El Cajon, one word comes to mind: Trust. Not knowing anything about cars, I have to be able to rely on what my automotive repair person tells me. AAMCO does not try to "Up-Sell" me any repairs. They explain in detail what I need, and even go above and beyond by researching the most cost effective repair options. I live about 45 minutes away but I drive to El Cajon because I know I'm going to get exceptional, honest service. And even though it is long distance, I am going to save money in the end. They are the only repair shop that I trust with my families vehicles to. And in the many years I have been going there they have only provided terrific customer service. It gives me peace of mind. They are excellent.

Thanks for taking the time to give me great service and cost.
Service is great. People are friendly. Prices are very fair.
Fabian and Todd always give personal customer service and go way beyond what any business would do. They treat me like family.
I am planning to use your services again
Just plain good old fashioned excellent service.
I have already recommended you to a couple of people I know.

Already do, always will. See you again real soon

Very professional, knew exactly what to do, and completed job early ! Thank you, but, my appointment was several months ago. I shall stop in again soon!
Service is great. People are friendly. Prices are very fair.
Our experience with this company has been excellent. We had some issues at first but it wasn't their fault. They did everything they could to solve the many problems we had with our Benz. but as of today 6/4//13, it is running like a "sewing machine". THEY MADE EVERYTHING RIGHT THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT! We are very pleased with their work!
Service is great. People are friendly. Prices are very fair.
Fabian, Todd and crew are the best. I have had tons of work done by these guys over the years and never an issue. They are professional, prompt and do their best to give you a good deal. I took my truck in there for what I was told was a differential problem. Big bucks. Fabian diagnosed it correctly however as a slightly off size tire on one wheel. Saved me about $1500. I trust these guys and even though I moved out of town postponed work on my car until I could get back to El Cajon and have them work on it. It is a rarity to find honest, trustworthy people in this business. You can trust these guys. They go out of their way to make things right.
My rear transmission went out on my 2003 Mitsubishi Spyder convertible. Several people told us we would need to replace the transmission. We took the car into Fabian at AAMCO Tranmission and they checked it out and were able to replace parts without replacing the whole transmission! While they had the transmission out they found a cracked clutch plate (pretty important) and so fixed that as well. Their service was timely, communication with us great all along the way and the car drives great now after. I am very pleased and will return. I recommend them to others. Fabian, the owner, is so personable and honest and he has a great crew!
I had to take my Acura MDX into AAMCO because of a torque converter issue I had. I'm new to the El Cajon area, and don't have a mechanic that i'm familiar with. When I had the vehicle towed I asked who they would recommend, and the driver said AAMCO. I'm glad he did. Todd from AAMCO called me when the vehicle arrived at the shop. He asked me questions about what had happened to the car, what had failed, and how long it had been going on. They treated me professionally, were empathetic to my situation, and assured me they could get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. Todd was friendly, invited me down to the shop any time to see my vehicle being worked on. My mechanic Kevin, explained in great length what caused the components inside the vehicle to fail. They answered my questions, and didn't mind me watching as they worked. I note all of these things because this hasn't always been my experience in working with mechanic shops in the past. I'm hoping I don't have another issue with my MDX, but i'm sure I will look to AAMCO for servicing my vehicle in the future.
After my car broke down, the folks at AAMCO, Erik, Ernesto and Dawn, took good care of me. Car Shield did not play fair and kept coming up with excuses for not covering everything with my car. Erik was great at being an advocate for my situation and did everything he could to get Car Shield to do the right thing. Ernesto did a wonderful job on fixing my Mustang and all his work gave me a fantastic running car. Dawn was very polite and helpful with making sure I was a happy customer just as Erick did. Erick made sure everything was fair and taken care of. There was no smoke and mirrors, just good honest work. I highly recommend their shop and enjoyed hiw they cared about how I felt as well as getting my car fixed. I give Erick and his crew 20 stars out of 10. Great service all around.
Great customer service - they went above and beyond to take care of us, were honest and incredibly helpful. Saved us from an unnecessary and very expensive repair after a service center at a dealership misled us by stating our transmission was toast when it actually wasn't. Aric restored our trust and showed us that honest mechanics still exist! We cannot thank him and his team enough. We will be taking our vehicles here for now on!
Great staff here Don Marie and Arik really took care of me and my wife’s BMW. Got it done faster than what was promised! I would highly recommend this store. They were able to provide me the same level of BMW maintenance service I receive at the dealership!
Eric was very helpful and their staff did a great job flushing/changing the transmission oil on my 98 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 5.2. Shifts like butter now.
