Aamco Groupon $39 Brakes service Scam!!! Groupon $39 for front or rear brake service, including brake pads, rotor resurfacing, and labor ($240 value) They refused resurfacing my front rotors when honda dealer said it can be turned one more time. They wanted to charge me $245 + tax to service my calipers and put on new rotors and brakes pads. They wouldn't let me bring in my own new rotors which was only $30.99 each for Bosch rotors with lifetime warranty from O'reillys. The scammed me for $158.47 with tax for new rotors + $39 groupon fee = almost $200 for $50 worth of parts and 45 minutes labor with 5 hour waiting time. They wouldn't give me a refund on the $39 groupon coupon, even when service was denied for turning my rotors and forced me buy their overpriced parts at triple the retail cost! I video recorded mostly everything that Seattle Aamco manager said and will be posting it up on Youtube soon! If you want to only spend $39 on brake service, bring in your own brand new set of rotors and calipers just in case, so they can't overcharge you on parts. If they will ever turn your rotors, just refund your parts. I don't think they turn rotors there, I didn't see any rotor turning machine in their shop....... They use Posi Quiet semi - metallic brakes #104.02560 (not OEM) worth under $20 The rotor that they gave me wasn't OEM Just cheap Dura International #BR3134 $15.98 each at ebay with free shipping. Brand new set of Dura International CERAMIC BRAKE PADS AND DISC ROTORS COMPLETE KIT LEFT & RIGHT PAIR on ebay is $44.08 free shipping... I feel like I got scammed for $160 + $26.26 for resurfacing my old rotors at Honest Jack auto parts and wasted 8 hours of my time dealing with Aamco and Groupon...

Jim will lie to get your money in his pocket no matter what. Don't expect your vehicle to be fixed. I got ripped off for $1500 and 3 months of my time. Parts I paid for was never put on, he still owns me service and parts that I have already paid for.. Jim has been dicking me around for over 2 months telling to bring my car in 8 different times and when I brought it in, I got a different excuse each time telling me that he got the wrong part and need to reorder it. Wasted a full tank of gas and 30 hours of my time going back and forth for him to f** with me, just to drain my money and time even more...
I've learn to look at the seals and bolts to see if the car has been worked on after this f**king experience with him. Don't trust him worth s**t!
I'm just waiting for Karma to catch up with him, hopefully soon!
We need more people to come forward that gotten ripped off by Jim Ball
Taking him to small claims court wouldn't do me any good. But if 10 people comes forward and get a class action lawsuit started. That's the only time we have a chance at closing his business down.
As of right now I have found 3 other person that got scammed by J B mobile mechanics
