I took my car to Aamco in Frederick, MD and talked with Mike about my transmission. He is very knowledgeable and personable putting me at ease about my car. I was afraid I needed a new transmission but he checked it thoroughly and found no problems explaining everything. I would reccomend going to Mike at Aamco in Frederick, MD if you have any problems with your car. Thank you Mike.

Mike and his team are amazing. My husband had trouble with his truck and took it to another place to get fixed and they didn't fix the problem after several times and we took it to Mike and him and his team fixed the problem right away and so wonderful to work with. He informed us of what was wrong and did everything to be sure it was fixed correctly. We will be back for sure and will tell all our family and friends. Thank you Mike you are amazing! We HIGHLY recommend them!

I had to stop to have my car looked at while traveling stopped here. Mike's customer service was awesome. I needed assistance with my tires and Mike referred me to another business that was able to get my tires fixed. They didn't charge me for looking and figuring out the problem. Thanks for great customer service.

Vehicle was brought in with a known, documented transmission issue. Since it was out of warranty, I figured this repair would cost me less than a dealer. On a positive note, they did find another issue outside of the transmission, but after that repair, it was apparent the car still had issues. I brought it back again and after nearly two days of waiting, I was told they wanted to try something else (outside of the transmission) and oh, we accidentally ran a trailer into your vehicle. Was given a $7200 estimate (!) to rebuild the transmission after what they tried for a second time didn't work. I picked the car up and took it to a bodyshop where it was repaired--which took almost 4 weeks due to their inept, and terrible insurance company. Vehicle sustained over 5K in damage and STILL had a broken transmission. Finally got the car back and took it to the dealership and they are rebuilding the transmission for THOUSANDS less than what AAMCO quoted me (and with a comparable warranty) . I will not do business with them and certainly would not recommend to anyone else. June 2025 Update: All of the engine/transmission mounts they replaced were cheap aftermarket parts and just got a 1K estimate from our trusted, reputable neighborhood technician to replace everything OEM as the car began shaking again. The passenger side mount completely failed less than 9 months!

The worst place EVER!! MIKE said it takes an hour to change a car battery, I called 4 different shops plus advanced auto and google ALL OF THE SAID IT takes 10-15mins tops!!! Especially if you are a professional MIKE charged me $186 for labor because he said it take an hour to change a car battery everywhere else’s was significantly cheaper!!! I ve gotten work done there 2 times and each time I’ve had to take my vehicle back because the problem wasn’t fixed!!!! $1100 MIlKE charged me for front breaks and rear breaks pads and rotorcharged me over $2000 for me bringing in my car which over heated almost 2weeks later I brought it back in to tell him I think my car is still leaking antifreeze MIKE said it wasn’t and assured me. About 2 weeks later my car starts to over heat I look under the hood and there was NO antifreeze!! So I was right so I had to take it back and each time there had my car waaay to long!!! The worst place ever over charged had to take my vehicle back 2 times after I payed for work and MIkE has been rude to me on several different occasions… I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy!!!

Had my truck in at the beginning of December to have them look at the transmission. With in 2 hours they figured out the issue and proceeded to get to work rebuilding the transmission. While there, they fixed the broken sway bar mount that I parts for and had planned to fix after I got it back. Great service and I would recommend then to anyone!

This shop recently serviced/rebuilt the transmission for my Acura TL. Before just blindly accepting the diagnosis and the repair needed, I asked several questions and demanded explanations. The owner, Mike went out of his way and took the time to answer each and every one of my questions, to explain every step of the rebuild process, and (unnecessarily) help me understand the complete scope of the work to be done. I highly recommend this shop for anyone that wants the highest quality of work and attention to detail to be performed on their vehicle at a fair rate. This is a very good experience and I will be back should the need ever arise.

I have had a great experience with both of my cars being serviced here. Mike is transparent and discusses options with you which is helpful. I would highly recommend this shop!

Mike and his crew went above and beyond my expectations to get my Jeep on the road again. I knew deep down my jeep would eventually go down the road of needing the transmission rebuilt, and it finally reached that point in its life. Mike was able to work with me and pinpoint the exact damages and what needs replaced. After a rebuild and change of the transmission lines, Mike and his team got my Jeep back on the road running smoother than it did before. Mike explained before he did the work that they replace the damaged parts with better parts to prevent the issues from further happening in the future. I'd recommend his services to anyone!

Having never replaced a transmission in a vehicle in my life, I found myself in that position two years ago. I chose AAMCO to do the repairs, because being 65-years old, I had heard their ads on TV since being a boy. AM I GLAD I DID! The repairs came with a 3-year/100,000 mile warranty; and one-year-and-10-months into that warranty the car left me stranded along the road. I am a Premier member of AAA, and they towed me home that day, and on to AAMCO several days later. NOT ONLY DID AAMCO completely repair my transmission FOR FREE under warranty, but it's STILL UNDER WARRANTY for an entire year longer under the ORIGINAL warranty. Impressed?...Yes! Thankful?... Yes! Happy?...Yes! Tim Moody 03/16/21

Mike and his team had a lot to assess on my vehicle. There were several issues, which they pinpointed quickly. It was a stressful time, but they resolved everything as soon as parts were in...and right before a holiday. Thankful for their business!

Aamco of Frederick MD has always been very reliable and pleasant to work with. Their communications with us have been fantastic. They maintain our fleet of work trucks. They have always been quick to respond and their quality of work would be hard to match. The owner Mike takes a serious hand ons approach and it shows in their customer service. The mechanics are very courteous and take the time to explain everything to you, and they make sure they explain it in a way that a non mechanic can understand. Their follow up is great, and it is a big part of how they communicate.

I called Mike at AAMCO of Frederick, Md. to discuss a transmission issue on Tuesday, July 27, 2012. He was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. The same day, I dropped the vehicle off for service and repair. It needed a fluid and filter change at my request, and the vehicle would not start in the Park Position. The shifter was sloppy and would not line up correctly with the chosen gear on the shifter column. The following day, Mike called to advise the service was finished and the repair corrected. Apparently, the transmission had loose bolts on the linkage, a minor problem. Though Mike could have claimed more serious issues and charged more, he didn't. The cost of repair for the problem...$45. Try to beat that at a dealership. I will be returning to AAMCO Frederick in the future for all my transmission needs. Mike is honest and straightforward. He does not play dealership repair games. Highly recommended.

Took my car in late Friday afternoon. Mike helped me right away and have the work completed by Monday afternoon. The work was quick and inexpensive. Incidentally, I went down the street to Sheetz to wait for my ride after dropping off my car and started chatting with a woman in the sitting area at Sheetz. Turns out she grew up with Mike and her first comment was how honest and affordable they are...apparently her husband used to work there. Couldn't get a better recommendation about how wonderful they are than from a rando stranger who has no vested interest in that recommendation.

Honest and efficient. Had a great experience after a lot of anxiety when I started having problems with my car switching gears. Got an appointment and a solution the next day. They said it would require a rebuild. Said they could do it, but strongly suggested that I look into my warranty. Even gave me a contact name for the person to speak to at the dealership. And special thanks to the staff who let me hang out In the office after hours waiting for my ride on a freezing day.

Needed 2 engine light problems to go away to pass emissions. Tire pressure light was one of them, they couldn't help because they had no way to get my tires off. Also made appointment several days in advance and I brought it in first thing that morning. It wasn't looked at till the end of the day so parts wouldn't be available. Took a day and a half to get one of the two problems fixed!

Great place and wonderful experience, had transmission issues and appointment scheduled promptly. Mike is a pleasant guy that obviously enjoys helping people. Service was quick, efficient and less costly than what I was prepared to pay! Tried other shops for repairs/oil changes but will be returning to AAMCO from now on. Very knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Glad I found this place and I'm spreading the word! Don't go any place else!
