Well...I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me.
When I went to pick up my car, the AAMCO manager said, "Mr. Pulliam, I know I gave you a written quote on Friday, but when we got your car on the rack, there was much, much, much...MUCH.....LESS...that we needed to do to fix the problem than we at first thought."
Accordingly, the bill was much, much, much...MUCH....LESS...than I had anticipated...about $1,075.00 less than the quote.
Nothing like this has ever happened to me ever in any encounter with anyone -- mechanics, plumbers, electricians, etc. Just NEVER happens.
I went to AAMCO...remember that for your transmission woes.
