Hi,
My car has done 117K miles (double checked . I took my car to AAMCO as I had diagnostic done for engine light.

Currently, at AAMCO they determined

Transmission fluid is burnt and they need to open up the car

I got two different quotes

This is the mechanics description
Hard part (external electrical componenets, smaller parts) - $850 - $1000

Soft parts (Internal clutch, solenoid pump) - (this is complete replacement) $2300-$2600

=============================

Now isn't $2600 pretty close to Honda's cost for replacement someone told me they do it for $3000 ?

Isn't AAMCO over pricey here ?... would it be better to go to a honda certified dealership ?

 

For the smaller price diffence I would probably just go to dealer. Or make shure Amco has a good Warranty Policey you know in case.

 

You might want to try and get their fleet rate pricing. I was able to get an AAMCO to agree to to a rebuild for 2700 dollars with a 3 year 50k mileage warranty with the option to extend it to a lifetime warranty for 500 bucks any time within that 3/50k warranty period.

The Cash for clunkers took alot of old cars off the road - the trans shops are looking for work - negotiating power for the buyer.
