Upfront about the cost and were very well priced. Swapped my transmission fluid and did the diligence of checking everything else free of charge. Would definitely recommend

AAMCO Transmissions and Total Car Care never disappoints. I recently dropped off my 2012 Accord because my brake light wasn't working, even after replacing the bulb. Upon contacting them, they informed me of several possibilities regarding the issue and provided an estimated time for troubleshooting and repair. It turned out to be a wiring issue, which they swiftly repaired, having my car ready for pick-up in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair cost. Since I work out of town, they also offered suitable options for payment and vehicle pick-up, which was incredibly helpful. Throughout the entire process, every staff member I interacted with was courteous and professional. I am a satisfied customer and will continue to return to AAMCO Transmissions and Total Car Care for my automotive needs.

So grateful and thankful to Ammco and especially Zack for rescuing me and getting me to my doctor's appointment on time and doing what it took to get the repair done. I was coming from out of town when my car gave me an overheating warning. I limped into their facility with a busted radiator hose and was by that time very short on time to get to my appointment, which by the way I was a new patient and could not be late! I explained my situation to Zack and he and a coworker came to my rescue and drove me there before they went to lunch! THANK YOU Both and God bless you! I really appreciate their great customer service and willingness to go above and beyond to help a lady (and her car) that was stressed! I will be recommending your company in the future!!!

When you are looking for the best repair on your car or Truck, choose these guys!! Milton and his team went out of their way to make sure that they found the right parts and completed the right repairs on my 1985 CJ-7. You just don't find this kind of quality of work these days. Thank you!!

I would rate 0 if I could. Out of nowhere my vehicle started having transmission issues. Worried, I brought it to AAMCO for diagnostics. After leaving my car for the weekend they called on Monday to inform us that we "needed a new transmission" that it was "beyond repair" we couldn't afford that and so we declined. Upon retrieval of my vehicle, it had no issues what so ever! The only thing it needed was transmission fluid change (something they did while running diagnostics.) They also left a sticky note in the car saying they had a salvage transmission (something they refused to mention on the phone.) Either these people do not know what they're talking about or, arguably worse, they do and are trying to scam people who don't for a larger payday. FYI we did not trust them when everything was running fine and took it to the dealership for a second diagnostic, hence how we know for certain there is nothing wrong with the transmission. Absolutely appalling to attempt to take advantage of a strangers possible ignorance. Nothing but liars and thieves.

I called other places 80 dollars but no openings. I just did a transmission flush a month ago completely took apart but didn’t top it off . It cost 390 dollars and I asked other places 2-3 times as less. If you want get ripped off go there. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. I told them I was bringing my mom’s car NOT RIP OFF

Professional, Honest, Caring, Understanding, and Competent. Would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone needing work done. A++++ All I can say is thank you. We were in town from Ohio, and were having transmission issues with our GMC Yukon. I called 8am Monday morning, and spoke with Jeff. He told me to bring it in, and that he could have a diagnosis by the end of the day. He called me after only a few hours and advised that I would need a new transmission. Knowing that I was leaving town on Friday, he gave me three different options, 2 of which would get me on the road Friday. Jeff and his team got me and my family all fixed up and headed back on Friday. They even went as far as letting us load half of our luggage the day before while the vehicle was still being fixed! Price was on par with quotes from a local shop back home. He could have easily taken advantage of my urgency. Thank you Jeff & Team!

For starters i am a college student who is just starting to venture out on his own away from home. When my check engine light came on I chose to do business with AAMCO because of their positive reviews which are wholly warranted. I called ahead and they took it immediately and helped me coordinate with a tow truck. After doing the work of diagnosing the problem Milton went above and beyond and ultimately informed me that it would be better worth my while to take the truck to a dealership. The work was professional and timely and I have the utmost respect for this shop for turning down my business for my own good. They have earned a lifelong customer and I would recommend them to anyone.

This business was very professional, honest, and truly caring! I had to get a transmission replaced and they had it done when they said they would. The price they quoted me never changed and they did a awesome job on the work! I had to leave the car for over a week after it got ready cause I had a death I’m the family out of state and they were very caring and understanding! Hopefully I won’t have anymore transmission problems but if I do I will definitely go back to them!

Zach was absolutely amazing to deal with and work with. I called initially to get a quote and he gave it to me very promptly. I dropped off the vehicle. He gave me an estimate of time of when it would be done and it was done within that timeframe and within the quoted estimate as well actually ended up being a little bit cheaper, Zack was very nice when answering all my questions the million times I called him asking if it would be done yet would recommend to anybody.

Excellent service. Staff were the most professional I have ever seen in automotive repairs, which led me to think there would be a high price tag. But, to my surprise, they were in the same price range as four other transmission shops in Wilmington. They also repaired my dads truck in a very short period of time, which allowed us to get it back to him for a surprise on Christmas eve. Great price, Great customer service, Great work. Would highly recommend.

Always have had great service! A wonderful team of kind and intelligent staff. Bobby has always done everything he can to help me with my vehicle, as well as any of my friends that have car issues. The mechanics know what they're doing, and you will not get overcharged here! They have gone above and beyond to make sure my car problems are always solved in a timely and price-friendly manner.

This company tried to take me 7 years ago ! Pro-built came to my rescue. This time you’ve pissed me off!!!!! Absolutely terrible in everyway possible!!!! You are an operating company that is a stain on our community !!!! You were gonna charge my mother in law over 2000 dollars for a fix of less than 100 dollars! What the actual heck. When questioned about it, your response was it’s cheaper than finding another car. I will thank you for one thing, when I went to Capital Ford I found a Cool LEGO set which was more expensive than the fix from the dealer!!!!!! The fix cost 27.77. It’s July 8 2024 still doing well. Thanks for screwing people here where I grew up! Yall stink!

Truly grateful for the guys at AAMCO. They took the time and found the issue with my car. An issue i had been dealing with for almost a year. Had several mechanics tell me what the problem was and never could fix it, but not the guys at AAMCO. They care about their customers and I am truly grateful. Bobby is an awesome manager. He made sure I was a happy customer. THANK YOU BOBBY AND THE GUYS AT AAMCO. FOREVER GRATEFUL.

My transmission in my Jeep seemed to be overfilled to me and I was a little paranoid that it was acting up so I started calling around, every place I called including the dealership in town told me I would need to have a transmission flush to get the excess out which would have cost me around $200. I kept calling around until I called AAMCO and got the sweetest man on the phone named Milton. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns easily. He also explained if they needed to, they could pull the excess out with a tool they have and that a transmission flush was more than likely not necessary. He had me bring my car by for a free inspection and road test and they even pulled the excess fluid out for me. It turns out my car was fine, but having that peace of mind really helped me feel better about driving back home to Georgia. Thank you so much for talking me through everything Milton and thank you AAMCO! I highly recommend these guys if you are in the Wilmington area and you need a transmission specialist. They are very honest and reliable!

I have been doing business with this AAMCO for decades and they have always gone the extra mile to ensure their customers are very satisfied. I have owned a 1966 Mustang since 1980 and do all the work myself with the exception of transmission. This is the only shop I will bring it too. The are friendly, professional and stand behind their work.On one occasion when I had a tight deadline for a car show in Charlotte they stayed really late on a Friday to complete the work. Thanks to these guys I was able to run some laps on the speedway that weekend. I Highly recommend this business !!

bobby and the staff at AAMCO in Wilmington were incredible. Very professional from start to finish. They explained everything they were going to do and didn't do anything before consulting with me and getting my approval. The saved me money in everyway they could without jeopardizing their integrity or the quality of their work. I would highly recommend going by and consulting with them if you feel you may need transmission work done on your vehicle. They will impress you.

I just took my 1996 Mustang GT in to AAMCO to have the clutch changed, transmission serviced, and pilot bearing/throwout bearing/clutch release bearing replaced. Before maintenance, the vehicle was making horrible squealing sounds every time I pressed the clutch (the release bearing going bad) but now the clutch is butter smooth and engages well with no odd noises. They were even willing to install my aftermarket RAM clutch and bearing set, albeit without covering them under an AAMCO warranty (understandable). Without telling Bobby beforehand, I showed up at 8 AM one morning while my car was being worked on. I walked in and he took me to the back and showed me what his mechanic, Brandon, was working on underneath my car. He also showed me where they rebuild transmissions, a "clean room" so to speak. Very professional operation. Bobby and his team did a great job, communicated well, and did not perform any maintenance without my prior permission. Bobby gave me a student discount on labor and resurfaced my flywheel for free ($65 normally) because I am in the military. Overall I am very satisfied with AAMCO and will be using them again when I eventually have my transmission rebuilt.
