Complaint Review: American Transmission

I stopped in the garage fairly often and i was friends with a couple of people who worked there and they told me a lot about the place! plus sum of the stuff i seen with my own two eyes. i seen consumers being ripped off, there were times at that place there wasnt any buisness for weeks it was just slow so anybody that came in to have there car checked out for possible transmission problems 9 out of ten times were told there transmissions were bad even if they were not and im knowledgeable enough to know when the transmissions were taken apart to repair them to see the damage inside of them and most of the time like i said they werent bad! also the transmission builder told me too they werent bad everybody outside the office couldnt understand why they had to do these things? other then it was slow and no money was coming in also the price for these jobs sumtimes were astronomical!! $3,500 for a job that was normally even with a lot of damage inside the transmission only 1,800- 2,000 dollars older transmissions that should only cost $1,200 to build with a year warranty were costing $2,800 - 3,000 you could go to the car dealer and get a remanufactured transmission for less with 2-3 year warranty they also had a lot of people just abandon there cars there after they were repaired because they couldnt afford to pay for the job! i feel bad for my friends that work there but i cant keep quiet anymore people should not be ripped off like this!! there are so many people who need there transmssions repaired i dont understand why anybody would have to operate like that? if you have enough buisness why would you have to lie or overcharge? its unfair to the people with a auto repair buisness who try and make an honest living
