Customer Reviews

“I had the best experience at AAMCO Chula Vista. My vehicle had a transmission cooler line leak and figured it would be down for a couple of weeks. They got me in and out in just half a day and at a great price! I was amazed. I want to give a shout out to Memo. He took care of me like I was family. His honesty, communication, and customer service is 2nd to none. He was clear explaining the diagnosis and recommended repair. I travel back and forth to San Diego regularly and depend on a reliable vehicle when I'm there. I will be taking my vehicle to AAMCO for all servicing. If you are looking for a reliable shop give these guys a call. They will take care of you. Also, ask for Memo! Thanks, Ed”

“Memo was great through the entire process of my car repair, my transmission needed to be rebuilt. Memo kept me in the loop at all times and my car was completed in a timely manner as well. I'm very happy with AAMCO Transmissions and my 98 Acura is running smoothly.”

“Memo was helpful and knowledgeable. Inspected my ride thoroughly and most importantly were honest. Didn't try to charge me for stuff I didn't need.”

“Memo and team helped me out of a pickle when no one else would. I recently had my transmission rebuilt by a different AAMCO in another state. I paid quite a lot of money and bought the full warranty. The experience was very poor and I wasn't happy with the results, but I didn't have much I could do. After moving to CA shortly after, the transmission began developing problems. I needed to get the vehicle serviced, but other AAMCO's by me weren't interested in servicing another shop's warranty. They didn't flat out say 'no" but no one would take it.. Memo in CV however, took on my case. It took a while to get to the cause of my issue (it was a bad low gear sprag that caused the vehicle to dangerously lose its drive function at low speeds, like when crossing an intersection). And while the other shop should have provided the parts necessary when asked during Memo's warranty work, they didn't, but Memo carried on and eventually got me back up and running so I could take my family to school again. The work was significant. The warranty covered me 100% and though it took some time to sort out, I didn't have to pay a dime out of pocket which was important to me at the time. I really appreciate what Memo and team were able to do for me. So far the trans has been running well, and I have peace of mind that my car will continue to be covered for the remainder of my warranty.”

“I highly recommend this business. Memo is friendly, helpful and very transparent. He explained what was wrong with my vehicle and explained my options. I did not feel any pressure and left the shop knowing what I need to do to get my vehicle fixed.”

“Discussed the issues with my Toyota truck. Thought it would cost more than what was priced. Truck drives great. Just have to break in the new clutch.”

“The service was top tier! Memo was incredibly professional, super helpful, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping customers. We were taken care of quickly, informed throughout the whole process and have outright become lifelong customers. We were able to use our Secure One insurance coverage there which saved us thousands (literally). Everyone at AAMCO should be proud of their shop and the workers and technicians running it. When we run into any repairs in the future, they will be our first call.”

“The Team at AAMCO in Chula Vista got my car expertly serviced in a fraction of the time most shops usually do these days and now I'm enjoying my main daily driver once again worry free. Thanks fellas”

“After bringing in my first car I decided to have them check out the 2nd. Always got provided everything in perfect details for us non mechanics to understand. Honesty and details. You can't beat that!”

“Memo and the guys at AAMCO fixed the transmission on my Mazda 3 after the dealer failed to fix it after 2 attempts. Not only did AAMCO fix it but they found the cause of the failure which seemed to elude the "experts" at the dealership.”

“Had to have my transmission rebuilt. Memo was very helpful and reassuring in answering my questions. The transmission shifts smoothly again. They do great work!”

“Very pleased, I had ongoing problems with a leaking transmission and coolant. No more leaks the best auto repair shop I've found. Honest and prompt.”

“First Class facility! I have called this shop 6-8 times and the manager, Memo, has always been amazing with discussing potential problems, scheduling a free estimate, and following through with a breakdown of issues and costs. I was advised against doing a service to focus on a bigger issue BUT will for sure go back even if it's at a higher price to get a better service with people I like! Also, you will be hard pressed to find a cleaner automotive shop anywhere in San Diego. Keep up the good work my friends”

“Great service! Took care of all my cars problems, got it right the first time. No need to go back and forth like other auto mechanic shops. If you want good auto shop, I definitely recommend this one.”

“AAMCO HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR US...never any problems...better prices...Chula Vista our go to place...Meme was very helpful and timely in our car emergency...GREAT GUY...”

“Awsome work on my 05 tundra”

“This shop is a great place to bring any vehicle, old or new. Their work is thorough, and service time was efficient. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders to find a place like this. I do not like dealership maintenance departments. This is the kind of place you can rely on to fix your vehicle problems, or just get a service like an oil change for reasonable prices.”

“Memo was very helpful with answering all my questions. The staff was efficient about getting my car back in a timely manner. They also have military discount!”

“Had my compressor replaced and AC charged in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. Also, great customer service provided by Memo. I recommend getting a quote from this place first.”

“They Solved the problem and fixed my car as quick as possible.”

“DID EXCELLENT WORK WILL BE GOING BACK FOR GENERAL REPAIRS SAME LOCATION IN CHULA VISTA.”

“Best customer service. Thank you Memo.”

“Great customer service”

“I had my jeep dropped off after braking down and Memo at the shop was a wonderful help, very welcoming and great customer service. Highly recommend!!”

“Great. Done on time, and I was communicated with throughout the process. Thanks”

“Today, 2/6/23, was my second visit to AMMCO Chula Vista and just like the first time I am a satisfied customer. I went to have some Brembo brakes and Brake pads installed that I had purchased directly from the Brembo Store. I was received by Memo at the front desk and was impressed by not only his professionalism, but good humor. He prepared my quote instantly and the price quoted me was almost one half of what the Buick dealership quoted me. At no time did Memo try to upsell me something I was not interested in. I made an appointment, brought my car in at 8am today. Memo called me 3 hours later and said the car was finished. Wow !!. He also mentioned that my oil looked a little black and asked if I would like them to change it. Thanks Memo...that was something that I forgot to mention to you in the morning when I brought the car in. Good Catch !!. Anyway, the work was finished earlier than expected and upon inspecting everything when I arrived home there was no doubt in my mind that the installation was done correctly. Your shop has earned my trust and I will return.”

“Had two check engine codes! They diagnosed both and were able to get the work done efficiently. Would definitely recommend! Memo was great!”

“I went in for a transmission inspection and your front desk employee Memo was fantastic. Memo was friendly and helpful explaining the process to me and pointed all the 3rd party credit companies that I can qualify for if I need help paying for repairs. All in all I was impressed and look forward to my next visit. Thank you for reaching out for feedback.”

“Hello! I had a great experience, Memmel was extremely helpful and kept us in the loop with everything before he went forward with any changes. To be honest, this is the only shop around here that I've trusted enough to bring my vehicle back multiple times for repairs. The technicians and customer service has done a wonderful job with my Hummer's lift and suspension this week!”

“I was really impressed with the excellent costumer service of your staff. Memo was friendly and trustworthy. The technician was also very good, he gave us the diagnostic and explained what was wrong and what he did to repair the problem. I'll recommend your place at any time.”

“Hi Ron- My experience with your AAMCO was A++++ From the phone call I made & spoke to Memo, to explain my car situation, was just amazing. He was very kind & re-assuring. I researched a-lot of transmission places & all of your reviews were "awesome"! So I chose your business. I got there on time, Memo greeted me, & I waited in your very clean & nice waiting area, supplied with fresh cold water & coffees. Within the hour, Memo told me what the problem was & I was shocked -I did not need a new transmission, it was something extremely minor. Wow! I told Memo I would be back & would refer anyone who asked me about car repair to go to your AAMCO. Memo is also very good over the phones with customers, as I heard him speak to quite a few clients. He is 5 star with clients on the phone or in person! I come from a 4 generation family business, so I appreciate local businesses. Thank you for making me feel secure about car repairs, as I am a single 73 yr old woman & I was concerned about a place overcharging me. I will be back.”

“Guillermo "Memo" Ganir did a wonderful job getting my job fixed. If anyone needs help with their car call Memo”

“Great Customer Service (MEMO) Very friendly and knowledgeable I would highly recommend this Business..”

“Absolutely fantastic and friendly service. Memo makes you feel like part of the family and instills confidence that they will do the job right every time”

“Great communication and explanation of work that needed to be done. Warranty on work is second to none. I have piece of mind that my sons car will not break down due to transmission failure.”

“Hands down best experience I've had! Even though they were overloaded with work they still got me in and out of there quick, they really took care of me & Memo is THAT GUY!”

“Great shop to get work done. Fixed my axle seals and added suspension spaces. price os fair.”

“Theyre awesome memo is the best. The mechanic super great, overall service wonderful. Thank you Aamco!”

“Memo the front desk manager has great Customer Service. I took my vehicle to change my headlight and he took me in without any hesitation. I went back to change my engine oil and my transmission fluid and definitely going back to get other work done. I don't have to wait for days to get an appointments like I do at any dealership.”

“AAMCO, you continue to win my confidence. Had my transmission rebuilt in June 2022 and got my peace of mind back in driving my car. Thank you, Joe, for getting me through that!!! Fast forward to November 2022, I returned to see what the creaking and clanging sounds were. Memo greeted me with his winning smile, called me later with the diagnosis making me feel comfortable in going forward. Ultimately, it was a matter of a couple of hoses. Thank you AAMCO for your technical expertise and for exceeding my expectations once more. A special thank you to Memo for his excellent customer service, stellar professionalism, hospitality and rapport. I appreciate you!”

“Fair prices and quick work. What else could you ask for.”

“Quick and dependable”

“Excellent Job and Excellent customers service.”

“Great experience here. Even with a staff turnover from Joe to Memo, information didn't get dropped and truck got fixed in a timely manner. They had to repair a P0715 code for my 2015 F150. Soon as the part came in, it was fixed in the same day. Memo communicated well and had great customer service. Definitely will go to this place again.”

“Literally, couldn't have had a better experience. Memo is a treasure :)”

“Guillermo Ganir is an outstanding knowledgeable and professional. Great service and fast turnaround. Thank you”

“They were great very helpful and had my car done in a timely manner will definitely be going back”

“Went in for transmission oil change ammco CV got the right products for my vehicle and did the job quickly..people at ammco CV we're friendly and even called Frank Hyundai to see if there was anything else needed to complete the job right. Made my day.”

“I would 100% recommend this company and these people to everyone. Amazing work fast friendly service. So helpful and Very patient.”

“Excellent servce everything was explained and repair was ready at estimated time of completion. New clutch is working very well so far.”

“Professional and down to earth. Took my truck in for a transmission issue. Joe was the man I dealt with and he was great. It is refreshing, in this current world, to find people who have such a realistic understanding of money concerns for thier customers. Auto shops only continue to exist based off referrals and repeat customers. The gentlemen at this shop know that and work to that end. I shall go back for any vehicle issues I have in the future.”

“My car needed a new clutch and possibly a new flywheel so I called around and the professionals at AAMCO Chula Vista gave me the best quote out of all the other transmission specialists around. We set up an appointment and they had my car fixed, well tuned and better off than it had been in a long time. Thank you Joe and the AAMCO team for the spectacular service, I will use them for future car related troubles.”

“This team are very straightforward and will not try to take advantage of you. Special thanks to Joe for being honest and for taking care of my car. I will definitely recommend this repair shop to anyone. This ship also do free diagnostic unlike other places that will ask for diagnostic fee.”

“Outstanding service at a fair price!!! The team did a clutch change on my 1994 Jeep YJ. Service was done fast and at a reasonable price. These guys are my new “go to”.”

“From the first moment I called in, in regard to a vehicle pre-purchase inspection, to our final interaction I noticed how excellent the customer service at this AAMCO location is. They come across as personable, knowledgeable, and genuine.”

“Pleasant employees even though they were very busy, answered questions with details in a way a non mechanic can easily understand, work was well done and in time”

“Great service here, I had some transmission issues that no other shop would even dare take a look at as I was told I'd be better off buying another car. I was about to go that route but I brought it to AAMCO and they inspected it and let me know what was wrong completely free of charge. They then communicated with me exactly what the issue was and ended up just needing to get a small part replaced all for around $140 total! Really honest and helpful staff!”

“Joe and AAMCO Chula Vista are fantastic. They are honest, professional, and on top of that reasonably priced. My AC had stopped working, had contacted multiple repair shops prior, but they all said they didn't have the tools to work with the new refrigerant. Came across AAMCO on yelp, and Joe assured us they could help. Gave us an appointment the same day and had it fixed real quick. I found my new repair shop, will definitely be coming back and recommending to all my family and friends!”

“Before I begin I don't usually leave reviews but in this case my clutch had took a crap on me & was in some desperate need of a replacement. I had looked AAMCO up online & they had multiple great reviews so I said "What they hey, what's the worst that can happen, if its out of my budget I can look elsewhere." I proceeded to call, & Joe was the one to answer, I had asked the estimate of a clutch replacement & he had told me it depends on the year, make & model. Fair enough, so i agreed. Joe had told me to come @ 11:30am, I later called & said: I wouldn't be able to make that time & had asked if i can come around 3ish. No hesitation (BIG PLUS which i may add) he said yeah that's fine no worries. Once arrived again I was greeted w/ Joe & he was very professional as well kind while asking what I would need. This was on a WED & Joe had said it will be done FRI. Not only did his team get it done on the scheduled time BUT he also got me a better deal! I was already stuck in mind to pay top dollar knowing clutch replacements aren't cheap! I would like to thank Joe & his team for such an easy process NO BS, & straight to the point service! I highly recommend & WILL be coming back for any car issues! Thanks AAMCO you guys ROCK!”

“Take your VICHELES to no one else Ron @ AAMCO Transmission is your man. Not only does he do Amazing work with amazing prices he truly cares about you/vichele and customer service at its best! He goes above and beyond to make sure your back on the road ASAP and that your vichele has you safe well doing so. I had to take a emergency road trip driving through 3 of thee hottest states and no AC wasn't happening. I called Ron 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning and even with his day completely booked he said if u can be here in 15mins I can get it in. I was the 1st car in the shop and on my way within a few hrs. My AC has never been so cold. Thank you Ron He even took the time out of his day to check on us throughout our journey”

“Check engine light came on during a road trip. Initial analysis using Blue Driver plug-in showed two transmission error codes. Preliminary AAMCO check determined torque converter problem. Check-in was easy and direct (Joe). Replacement parts took several days. The car runs noticeably better. Will take it on another road trip shortly. Thanks, AAMCO!”

“AAMCO figured out immediately that my transmission was fine, but my Catalytic converter was shot. My car was repaired quickly and I was made aware of all charges ahead of time. No surprises. Plus I was offered several financing options, which fortunately I did not need, but was a nice possible alternative.”
