This seems to be a legal issue, since the repair order (contract) was not signed by the owner and a signature or personal identifing info is required to verify a verbal contract (phone). Giving this infomation gives the shop ability to paint a story that was not agreed to. This is a practice that can be avoided. "All" agreements are to be in writing with terms specified and signed. REMEMBER THIS IS A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES. With this is place services can be performed an are legaly binding. If you don't pay! The shop can put a mechanics lein an sell the vehicle for charges and storage. And the consumer has a binding contract that the shop can be sued for non performance of warranty~etc.~~~~You can sue in court for all the money or pay again on a warranty repair and charge back to the shop.~~~~THE TRANZMN

I brought my vechicle in to be looked at by AAMCO in waldorf. I've spoken to Doug prior to coming stating the problem with my tranny (2nd and 3rd splipping and oil being burnt). Was told by Doug that he will call me in about 2 hours to let me know whats wrong. I waited his call and it was getting close to 6pm, thats when they close. I drove up there and my truck was in the same spot like it didn't move. I spoke to Doug and asked why didn't he call me, which he responded he did about 10min ago and read to me my home number. I Was told the tranny had to be taken out ($400) and other stuff done. I agreed and signed the paper work. Went home to check my call-id and noticed he never called. I decided right then that I will pickup my vechicle the next day and take it somewhere else. Point being, this AAMCO is a total ripoff. They know how to do it and do it well just by looking at this and other reports. I'm glad I took my vechicle back.

They filed the following rebuttal to the above Rip-Off Report:
Their email: [email protected]
Their name: Arnold
Their relationship to the company: Consumer Suggestion
Rebuttal:
I totally agree with you. I was too a victim of these Business Scam fronted by AAMCO. They claim that they did the work, but they didn't do a thing to support their claim of how and when they fix our transmissions.
AAMCO is a big business Franchise, and in this way they can get away from this business practice. AAMCO company won't be held accoutable for the franchisee;s mistakes and BAD Business practices. We can only go after the owners and their technicians who positively lied to the public.
To AAMCO Owners,
Look at this site and look at the same patterns on how you guys are screwing with the public.
Your days are numbered.
