AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

Started coming here almost 2 years ago because they were the only place that could fit my 14’ box truck. Richie did a great job everytime I needed something, whether it was a new alternator, or even reattaching the side door of the box. Always gave me a heads up about cost and was honest about the work that needed to be done. The first time I called, I was under the impression that I needed a transmission fluid flush just based on mileage, but he explained that unless I had a reason to think something was wrong, it wasn’t something I needed to worry about. He’ll tell you honestly if something needs to be repaired, and if something doesn’t. My go to location; guy knows vehicles and also has a great electrician guy who managed to get the AC roof unit of my cube working, which was huge. They actually care about getting you back on the road and stand by their work.

Glendale has to do better . Absolutely terrible experience. I brought my car in for transmission work, and by the very next day it had completely leaked all of its transmission fluid. That alone tells you everything about the quality of work here. They did more damage it the vehicle than what it had . Scratching the touch screen to the point that part of the screen was unreadable. It gets worse—while my car was in their possession, items were taken from it and some of my tools went missing. That is completely unacceptable and a serious breach of trust. They also left my car parked outside, which resulted in me getting a parking ticket while it was supposed to be in their care. Total negligence. The environment and behavior I observed at this shop raised major red flags about professionalism and accountability. I would not trust this place with my vehicle or anything inside it. Save yourself the time, money, and stress—go somewhere else.

I was having a strange slipping in my Lincoln Nautilus transmission. I brought it here and they evaluated it telling me it was a computer issue and not a mechanical one. They could have told me I needed a transmission, but they proved themselves to be honest to a fault and I appreciated their integrity. They did the full test evaluation and didn't charge for that. If I ever have another transmission issue I will bring it here.

Great job Enrique and Robert 🙌🏼 At the time of the repair. I drove away with vehicle running with what I thought was a $6,200 brand new transmission. The transmission gave out and left me and family stranded in the desert. It took AAmco Transmissions in Cathedral City to repair the reconstructed transmission (not new as we agreed). It’s everyone’s nightmare to make a arrangement for repairs and later on discover that you’ve been scammed to believe you purchased a new product & they betray you with a used product . Shame on this AAMCO Shop. I spent $1,200 extra in Uber, expensive food, hotel, car rental & $300 tow service that wasn’t reimbursed because tow truck driver wanted cash money. Thankfully I was reimbursed a portion of my expenses. I had to use my vacation money for this AAMCO scam… See pictures of reconstructed transmission VS what was supposed to be installed for $6,200. They even put old screws back. Today my vehicle with its new transmission has been driven from Los Angeles to Guadalajara Mexico on round trips 5 times already and still running strong. Thanks to Cathedral City AAMCO Shop…

Robert and Enrique were both very honest and knowledgable. I went in feeling like I was going to be pressured, but instead I was welcomed with great information and free diagnostic. Robert very kindly showed me a display transmission to show me how it works and what could've gone wrong with mine. It was very cool to see the insides of a transmission. Unfortunately, I did end up using another mechanic, but only because I found a rare deal on a pre-owned transmission from a family member, otherwise I would've definitely used them. I highly recommend this location and talking with Robert and/or Enrique about your transmission needs. The location is in a very convenient location, literally right next to the 2 freeway on-ramp. The location was clean and organized. Parking was easy.
