Complaint Review: aamco - west boca raton florida

fast forward to 12+ years later. our 944 is still running (but we did lose the a/c compressor). never had any transmission problems since that rainy day i slid under the car on the side of glades road, and tightened up that bolt underneath the car. i've changed out the fluid to MT90 for a smoother shift, and have learned a lot about the 944 since then. a book full of information.

a bolt. i would have happily paid $100.00 for your company to tighten that bolt, but you go for the jugular, don't you? quote my wife $800 to "open and inspect" the transmission. which translates to, "you spend $800.00 bucks, we sit on our azz, then we tell you the synchros are bad and the tranny needs to be rebuilt. we need $2000.00 for the repair".  once you have $2000.00+, then you might actually put the car on a lift...finally.

does anyone there own tools?

at the minimum, your employee is "challenged". but what i assume is the case, is this is a scam artist's palace. 

I brought my 1990 jeep in for a slipping transmission, they repaired the transmission and and when i drove it out of the dealership it had a very bad vibration to it and gave me a very bad engine oil leak as well , i didn't even get 20 feet when the jeep began to vibrate, so i turn around and they put it on the lift and i was told it was a broken shock mount. I took the jeep to a mechanic and had the shock mount repaired, but the vibration was still there. I brought it back to the dealership and they put it back on the lift. Lo and behold they found it was a broken transmission mount, and they fixed it, no more vibration, but the oil leak was still dripping badly.( about half a quart a day) So they towed the jeep back to the shop. They had the jeep for 4 days and they told me the installed a new valve cover gasket, a new rear seal, and an oil pan gasket. (i belive when they had the oil pan off they damaged my engine out of spite) Now this was getting rediculous, so i told them i needed a rental so my girlfriend could get to work. I was told by the manger that the boss said "NO". So i told them i was going to call the home office and make a complaint against them. They had the jeep for 4 days and and I told them to take the jeep for a very long ride so when they pulled the dip stick they could see it was losing transmission fluid. i don't think they looked at it untill I made the threat to call the home office. The very next day i got a call telling me they found the leak, and that it was the PCV valve. PCV valves even when clogged can never leak that much oil.( within an hour there was a 12" puddle under the jeep). I drove the jeep home and i noticed there was low oil pressure. I brought it back to a machanic and was told the engine was damanged beyond repair. So i payed $2,200 for a transmission repair only to get it back with a damaged engine. So what did i gain? I brought it in for slipping transmission only to get it back with a damanged motor. There was nothing wrong with the motor when i gave it to them. We drove the jeep upstate many times and the motor ran fine with no problems. I kept up with the jeep with tune ups and oil changes. I called the home office to complane and ask for my $2,200 back . I got as few phone calls and made a few to them. Now i get no calls back and can't get throught to them anymore. So i got ripped off . I shoud have gone to Lee Myles transmission. I believe that when they could not find the transmission fluid loss nor the oil leak they damaged my motor out of spite when they had the oil pan off. I was told that it might be my crankshaft and now it is my crankshaft. Funny huh?
