Q: What types of services are available?
A: At AAMCO our sole focus is on transmissions, and there are a variety of
services available. If you think you are having a problem with your
transmission, an AAMCO center will perform an External Diagnostic Service.
The External Diagnostic Service includes checking the level and condition of
the transmission fluid, road testing your car, and a diagnosis of the external
transmission controls. If you have a transmission problem, the EDS
determines if the problem can be corrected with an external repair or
adjustment.
In some cases, the replacement or adjustment of a transmission or drive-
train related component(s) will correct the problem. In other cases there
could be an electronic or computer malfunction. In still other cases the
transmission needs to be rebuilt. AAMCO offers service for all of these
transmission problems, for automatic or manual transmissions, and for
domestic or imported cars. The best thing to do if you are having
transmission problems is contact your local AAMCO center to have an
External Diagnostic Service completed.


Q: What if I decide I don’t want any work done after you recommend it?
A: If AAMCO makes a recommendation for service based on any AAMCO
Diagnostic Service-- and you choose not to have the work done on your
vehicle-- you need only pay for the services or parts you have previously
authorized, and take your car home. But remember, the longer you drive your
vehicle, the worse the condition might become.
