I had a great experience at AAMCO Chula Vista! Memo was extremely professional and guided me through the entire process with clarity and care. The staff quickly diagnosed the issue with my car and had it back up and running in no time. I truly appreciate their efficiency and excellent service. I’d definitely recommend AAMCO Chula Vista to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy place to get their car fixed. Thank you!

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

Stay away from this place, they will scam you from the the start with a $1,200 fee to check the transmission and then be forced to pay for unnecessary work, I paid $4500 to rebuild Transmission and it failed again, left it back with them and they claimed it was the wiring, also after they worked on the car I found one of the spark plugs unplugged. I will post receipt later!

Held my vehicle for a week plus without ordering a part or attempting to fixing the actual problem. They were supposed to call Silver Rock (policy agency) and file a claim to get my repair done. I contacted the repair man nearly everyday asking if he had filed the claim and was told yes and that he was waiting on Silver Rock to approve it. I then contacted Silver Rock on three separate occasions to see if the claim had been filed with them and it hadn’t. Finally, I arranged a three way phone call with Silver Rock and the AAMCO Manager, during which, Silver Rock informed the AAMCO Manager that no claim had been filed at all. The AAMCO manager persistently maintained that he filed the claim but had no claim number to show for it. I had to stay on the three way call for an hour plus to make sure the AAMCO manager properly filed the claim with Silver Rock and could order the part I needed and commence the repair. After the repair was completed, the original noise in the engine that brought me to the repair shop was still there. They didn’t even fix my issue. They then told me after the fact that they found a service bulletin that applied to my vehicle and that was the reason my vehicle was making the loud noise. However, upon inspection of the service bulletin I found that it did not even apply to my make and model, they merely provided it to get me out of the way. This was the worst car repair experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. I have been turned off from all AAMCOs in the future, never again. Update 04Oct2022: Just had a certified Honda dealership take a look at my vehicle the week after AAMCO said that they replaced the muffler and Honda is reporting that the muffler was not changed at all. Something bad is going on here…

Excellent Service and Honest Work! I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Memo was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The repairs were done quickly, the pricing was fair, and my car is running better than ever. It’s rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but I’ve definitely found mine. Highly recommended!

I am new to Aamco but my experienced for both of my car repairs exceeds my expectations. I have my own mechanic for awhile but sometimes getting comparison from other mechanics is needed. When I arrived at Chula Vista shop “Memo “is very helpful. He assures me and his team that they will take care of my car. I paid less than my mechanics quoted me and when I say less more savings on my end. They always empathize their customers which is a huge factors why I trust them as a new customer. I will recommend Aamco for your car repair and maintenance.

Five stars and here is why: The coordinator helped prohibit change my appointment when I had a family emergency. Also, the diagnostic technician was proficient, clear and concise. The summary analysis indicated no transmission or other problems, the AAMCO Z manager insisted there was no charge for this service.

Memo clearly explained what could be wrong with my car as well as what it wouldn’t be based on the signs I had explained to him. He was able to give me a rough estimate about cost with out having the car fully evaluated, which was within $100 of the actual cost. I will definitely be returning to Aamco for any future car problems.

Military friendly, and great customer service!! This team quickly diagnosed the problem and even ruled out a previous incorrect diagnosis from a different car repair center. Highly recommended for an honest car repair shop.

This AAMCO on Broadway in Chula Vista, CA, has very good service . They were very kind and honest. I've been trying for 16 years to get Hyundai dealership to change my transmission fluid, they told me they were the only ones that can do that for my car. I called AAMCO and they said they can do it and charge me a very reasonable price. I will bring my car to them for my services that I need on my car, because they do everything. I thank God for sending AAMCO to me.👏👏👏🙂👍🫶

I contacted Memo and described my issue. They performed a vehicle inspection and confirmed that a sensor had failed. They replaced the bad sensor and the truck is running great again. Waiting room is clean and coffee is available. Highly recommended.

Well, even though I wasn't able to have my transmission fixed at AAMCO I did have a great experience. Memo greeted me right away when I came in (I had talked with him on the phone several times) and he was friendly, caring about my situation and knowledgeable. It just wasn't affordable to pay that much money on a 12 year old car. When I came to pick up my car he told me (in terms I could understand) what the issue was and said to please come back if he could help in any way possible. He is a great employee and a good representative of your company!!!

I brought my truck into AMCO Transmission in Chula Vista thinking I was just getting a transmission repair, but after they inspected everything, it turned out I needed a completely rebuilt transmission. Obviously not what anyone wants to hear — but I’m honestly glad I came here. Memo, the manager, was outstanding from start to finish. He took the time to explain every step of the process, broke down exactly what was going on with my transmission, and made sure I understood my options. He never made me feel pressured — just informed. That alone made a big difference. They ended up installing a fully rebuilt transmission with a great warranty, which gave me real peace of mind. Memo handled everything professionally, communicated clearly, and made a stressful situation feel manageable. If you’re dealing with transmission issues and want a shop that’s honest, thorough, and stands behind their work, I would absolutely recommend AMCO Transmission in Chula Vista to anyone.
