“Joe is an excellent guy all around, knows his stuff , excellent communicator, and straight shooter. He was also really great at entertaining my son who just turned 11 months today. This audi is my first foreign car and I'm looking to keep it forever. You guys will be my go to far past the foreseeable future. Oil change was quick as was the full vehicle diagnostic. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

“I wanted to write AAMCO a review because these days, I don't have a lot of trust in this industry unfortunately. That said, when I feel I've come across an honest, reasonable, and competent car repair shop, I feel compelled to tell others why I was more than satisfied with their customer service and work they completed. Our minivan's A/C wouldn't work when the outside temperature was above 80°, but felt adequate whenever it was under 80°. I spoke to Ron (owner) via Yelp messaging when inquiring for service, Joe (Service Mgr) who booked our appt, and Ian, whom we checked our vehicle in with. All were professional, empathized with our problem & told us they'd get it back in operation. Our A/C was repaired in less than a 1/2 day! It was diagnosed & repaired w/ us only paying for their routine A/C service fee. Our seals in the service ports were 16 yrs old and the cause of a small leak in the closed system, and our Freon refrigerant was at 50% of what it should've been. All in all, we paid the A/C service diagnostic fee minus 10% since I had redeemed my Yelp check-in discount upon dropping off our vehicle. Our A/C is operating like it's brand new again! Great job AAMCO! And here I only thought you worked on transmissions...”

“It was Great, the place was really busy, but took good care of me. Good prices. Manager Joe at the front office was very knowledgeable, offered me cold water while I waited, and made me feel welcome and like I'm part of the AAMCO Family. Will definitely return for other services in the near future. Thanks again for the Awesome Customer Service !!!!!”

“The service was great. Joe did a great job of trying to get my truck ready quickly and was good at communicating the issues. My truck runs great now, even though it was in rough shape when I brought it in. Thank you to the whole team. Really appreciate the hard work”

“My experience with this shop was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs to get things done for their vehicle! Joe was very professional and genuine the entire time I was in contact with him about my car. ”

“Excellent service all around! Highly recommended!”

“Got in quickly, they identified the problem and quickly made repairs at a good price. Very happy with their work.”

“This place is good the staff was very helpful and friendly they explained what was going on with my car and got it taken care of in a good amount of time ”

“Came in with a check engine light, was worried it'd be an expensive issue. Luckily it wasn't bad, I just didn't tighten my spark plugs enough On the positive side, I'm glad to find a trustworthy place to go for future car maintenence instead of trying it myself. Thank you Joe ”

“Very positive experience! Had my BMW 435 break down and brought it to AAMCO as it was a listed under my warranty’s recommended service provider. It turned out to to be a fuel pump failure in addition to gummed up intake and fuel injectors. The mechanics were very professional and did everything they could to get my warranty company ( who are very difficult to work with from what I recently learned) to cover the cost of the repair. Ultimately the warranty company didn’t cover the repair, however I really appreciated AAMCO’s efforts regardless! I’ll be back again next time I have a maintenance issue.”

“Amazing customer service from Joe Woodward from day 1 that i went to inquire on a quote to repair my air conditioner of my car he makes sure and explained so well what had to be done and really shows all the knowledge he has he shows he loves what he does and really loves helping customers that go in. I had the work done on my car and i can't express how happy I'm so far with the service done and I'm glad i went ahead and decided to do it at your business i will most diffenetly refer family and friends here for any car issues you have amazing work technician and most of all the customer service is amazing you have great employees keep up the amazing job thank you again to John and as well the technician Max ”

“They do way more than transmissions. Very concientious, no high pressure. ”

“The best thing since light bulbs, crushed ice and polyester pants. Joe and staff were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Pricing was reasonable. Service professional. I will return. ”

“Great atmosphere! Open on Saturday's for the full day which is great for weekday worker's!”

“Came in for a free inspection, left a customer for life. Who knows they did so much? They got only checked my transmission, they went over my entire drive train. Told me about things I already suspected, but hadn't had time to get looked at. Rather than give me an estimate out of the air, I was told it would take a while and I'd get it by email. Very happy with this shop. No pressure. No BS. Just a solid shop.”

“I had a great experience I dealt with Joe and we had a great conversation but more importantly he got me taken care of in a timely fashion and was able to give get me my car within a few days I'm very happy with the customer service. He gave me a will not exceed number right off the bat which I was able to mentally prepare for the hit it ended up being less. I had a great experience with the shop now it's a matter of how long will it last. But yeah Joe was great five stars from me.”

“The owner responded quickly to my emails regarding service. My car was fixed as promised. No complaints! Great to have AC running super cold. Just in time for summer.”

“This April (2021) I traveled to Chula Vista from Phoenix for a visit with my niece. On day two my car AC started to blow HOT air. This is a problem! My niece found AAMCO and we dropped off the car in the early afternoon. Joe Woodard explained they'd do their best to figure out what the problem was. They did! By close of business all was well. The AC issue was explained and fixed. Professional attitudes, knowledgeable employees and service with a smile. This is how business runs well. I've been driving cars for decades. I'd never been to an AAMCO before. My experience at this location was stellar. Thanks to AAMCO Chula Vista I am a very cool driver:)”

“I needed my transmission checked out super last minute, and these guys were able to run a diagnostic and pinpoint were my leak was coming from. They saved me a ton of money, when other places either ignored me or just assumed the worse for my transmission. 10/10 coming to this location again. ”

“I took my car to another place that charged me 100 dollars to "diagnose" my check engine light, and then they told me they couldn't fix it. AAMCO diagnosed the problem quickly, with no charge and advised me that they didn't feel any repair was needed at this time. They were professional and had good customer service.”

“A suspected transmission problem turned out to be something else. The technicians at AAMCO recommended services which resulted in a real change to the feel of the steering, something that another mechanic had overlooked. I will be returning to them in the future. ”

“Joe was great !”

“I had a wonderful experience, Joe up front was professional and polite and they were done with my car in the time estimated. Thank you!!!”

“Had my transmission replaced here. Much better pricing than any dealership. Staff was friendly and turnaround was quick. And they provided warranty on the parts”

“Very professional. Friendly customer service Highly recommend this place.”

“I was experiencing a transmission fluid leak. The initial inspection was performed quickly and I received the results a few hours later. The problem was explained to me thoroughly. I was provided a cost estimate that was reasonable considering the amount of labor necessary. The vehicle repair was completed on time and within the cost estimate. Everyone seemed friendly and professional. I had a positive experience at this shop and have no reservations recommending them. I will return for future repairs.”

“These guys are awesome! I went to 3 different Transmission shop in town and these guys had, hands down, the best facilities, service and beat the other 2 shops quotes by over 50% less. On top of all of that, they where able to get my parts shipped and in my car by the next day!! Joe, you and your team are rockstars and i want to thank you for all your help!!”

“ Joe was my tech, from the start he was extremely friendly and helped me out with all my questions. I was very appreciative of that since it was my first experience. Replacing the transmission usually takes a few days as other shops quoted me however, they got it done in less than 24 hours! Was so happy to get my car in and out! At check out Ian was very friendly and patient with the checkout process and also answered more questions I had. Definitely recommend this place, seriously trustworthy with cars!”

“Joe is very friendly and informative. He made me feel very comfortable about getting my car serviced. Definitely will be back in the future. ”

“Service was great and very friendly. I didn’t have a ride so I stayed in the shop and waited. Joe was very friendly and joked around with my kid. That was nice since I understand most business don’t appreciate you bringing your child to wait a couple hours in their shop and disrupting business. Last minute I asked for an oil change. They were busy but they got it done for me and very quickly too. It seemed like all the customers that came in were return customers because Joe knew everyone by name. I had never been there before but I was greeted in a very friendly professional manner. I couldn’t speak highly of this place. I am very please and I too will be a return client. Thanks to Joe and his team for getting me in and out quickly!”

“Awesome work on my transmission. Joe is funny and very helpful dude. He's very detailed in explaining exactly what's wrong with your vehicle, no sugar coating and will not make you spend money on things your vehicle doesn't need atm. Will be back again”

“Great guys very knowledgeable about everything I asked. They are fast and their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended”

“I was in town for a few weeks working. I was in search for I shop to perform my 30,000 mile maintenance for my Lexus RC 350. What I can say about this fine establishment is, they were reasonably quick and thorough, very friendly and down to earth, and they did not try to up charge me because I drive an "expensive car". I was accurately quoted before I came in and when I left, I ended up paying significantly less than what I would have at the Lexus dealership. It's a glorified Toyota for heaven sake. Thanks guys!!”

“I reached out to a few different shops on Yelp to get my Mercedes Benz brakes replaced. They were super responsive and honest about the pricing. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up same day, they did a fantastic job choosing performance parts at an affordable price. Definitely recommend them!”

“It's nice to know that some people still know what good customer service means. They were professional, clear in explaining problem, solved it on time and at a fair price. I will definitely go back. Joe was very helpful. ”

“Wonderful shop. 100% satisfied and will return, if needed for other work. You won't be disappointed!”

“Very professional and quick service”

“I highly recommend this business! They are quick to get back to you with your questions and help you set up your appointment. The service was very professional and very quick! Very friendly service and really seem to know what they are doing! I will come back again!”

“I have a 2014 Ford Mustang GT that I love and they took the best of care with her! My car wasn't idling right, my check engine light came on and my car wasn't performing as it should. I called them and asked if they had any last minute available appointments and they told me to come right in. They we're quick to figure out the problem and quick with their service as well! Last minute appointment and got my car back within a couple hours! The staff was awesome, the service was terrific and I have my car performing even better than before. Definitely going back for anymore future service needed. I highly recommend this team at this AAMCO!”

“Well if I was rating 1-10, 10 being the best service, I would say joe and the crew were 100. They were communicative, respectful, and made me feel like I was important and my time was taken into account. I will definitely only be doing business with you guys from now with any of my car needs! Special thanks to Joe though, he is incredible! He really knows what he is doing and I trust his opinion completely. If you can tell him and the crew, Kaitlynn and Levi are so grateful for their hard work and it does not go unnoticed.”

“I had AAMCO Transmissions give the car a look over (just bought it) and they provided awesome service. He let me know what he saw wrong with the vehicle and gave me reasonable prices. Above all, they were extremely truthful and trustworthy. Two big thumbs up from me! Thanks AAMCO!”

“I love bringing my car here! I trust them 100 percent. I'm so picky about who touches my car but this place is the best! I've taken it to ford over and over and had so many problems with their service. Every time I bring my car here I just leave it and they call back asking if I would like my service done without doing it right away and slamming me with a big bill. My transmission was broken and it feels brand new! Thank you guys so much!”

“I had a good experience! Joe did a good job taking care of my car and he made sure everything was done right and at a timely manner. I would highly recommend this business ”

“They rebuilt my transmission and while it was not my inexpensive my vehicle is paid off. If I can drive for 10 more years it is worth it by not having a new car payment.”

“Great experience. Joe was an awesome guy that took great care of my car, was super straightforward, didn't try to upsell me on anything, and got me and my car in and out of there in no time. Definitely coming here from now on and encouraging all my family and friends to as well. Thanks Joe and Chula Vista Aamco for the exceptional service!”

“Went in for maintenance on my transmission and an oil change to. Spoke to a gentleman by the name of joe. He said he'll check out the transmission before working on it. Then he'll let me know what exactly needs to be done and he'll call me before doing the work on transmission. Also he'll go ahead and change the oil first. Five stars for customer service, cleanliness of the sho and professionalism.”

“Made an appointment over the phone for a CVT transmission fluid change on my Nissan Sentra. They did not sugarcoat the status of my transmission. I went 35,000 past the recommended change interval of 60,000 miles. I paid using my Synchrony credit card. All paperwork was printed and easy process to receive my vehicle back.”

“Come in to AAMCO 11/24/2020 I needed to have my transmission looked at and serviced. While I that going on I might as well have my oil changed too. Joe helped me out and let me know what he found. I authorized them to fix the problems. And a couple days later the job was done. I left a satisfied customer, thanks joe and staff.”

“I scheduled an appointment with them for a transmission bench rebuild for one of my own customers. Dropped off the transmission and it was rebuilt and they got it done in about a day and a half and the price ended up being just about what they estimated as well. Installed the transmission and test drove the vehicle for a long trip and had zero issues, no leaks, and it shifts smooth in and out of all gears. Joe was very professional and I will be using them in the future! ”

“I had my transmission serviced a few months back-changed my fluid. Justice asked me some questions on why I was getting the service and if there was anything wrong with the transmission. After the service was done, I was contacted by Ron (one of the owners) to make sure everything had gone well. Top notch service!”

“They are amazing people who know how to get the job done! I appreciate their help so much.”

“I got my transmission work done and the technicians that worked on my car did an outstanding job. I'm very happy with the work and it's a joy to drive my car once again. I will recommend this shop to all my Friends and Colleagues.”

“I have been meaning to post this, this review is long over due. My experience was amazing! My check engine light came on, the code said it was a transmission issue. I came to AAMCO with all the stress in the world weighing on my shoulders but Justice helped me out a lot, helping me with the best advice. Asking the technicians what was the best route for me to go. In the end I had to get my transmission replaced. Brooks called me, I told him my situation and he looked up the best quotes for me and got me a great deal and a good warranty. I was approved for financing was able to get my car back and back on the road. I am so happy and appreciate all the help that was given to me. When I got my car back I cried tears of joy on my way home. I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to afford to fix my car. Having 3 kids and work I depend on my car very much. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all your guys help! And thank you for the technicians who put in the hours on my car, it is running great! I will be recommending you guys in the future.”

“Accurate quotes and quick work.”

“I've been here a few times now. On each occasion the team here at Aamco was honest and professional about services I needed that other repair shops claimed would cost me hundreds of dollars more. I've saved myself and my wallet money by getting a second opinion here. I'd strongly recommend you give this shop a try for any of your car needs.”
