Nissan dealership wanted to do a very expensive repair. JJ at Amco tested the car and came up with a different situation recomended we do something else. Van drives like new and cost the fraction of what the dealership wanted. Even worse I called the Mossy Nissan and service manager response was; they have to follow Nissan strict mechanical guidelines and are not allowed even if they know to do side work! Word of advise go to AMCO and not a dealership.

James and his team were extremely helpful. They went above and beyond with the service. A quick turn around both times Ive brought it in. He even offered to drop me off at my work to save some cash and time as well. I highly recommend them if you want to feel taken care of at a great price. 5+ stars!

Really impressed with the professionalism and service from the staff. When I needed to get my AC checked and refreshed the evening before a road trip to Vegas, JJ went above and beyond to get it done for me. Would highly recommend this shop and the prices are very reasonable.

My car had an engine oil leak. They assessed the problem free of charge, ordered replacement parts right away, replaced said parts and cleaned the engine block for me. I thought the price was fair. My car is over 20 years old so I had so other concerns. They checked it out for me and gave me some tips on things to look out for. Overall positive experience, would visit them again.

Fantastic experience at this location, JJ was very pleasant, very informative, and not pushy in the least. On the first drive with my vehicle he diagnosed the problem that I had spent weeks trying to figure out, and it was something I had already dismissed as not worth checking, turns out his quick diagnosis was spot on. Answered all of my calls checking in and checked with me before doing any further work. Again, lovely experience, and greatly appreciated!

This place is phenomenal. Had the clutch on my Jeep go out in the desert and I brought it to JJ at AAMCO. At first I was nervous about how long it would take because it's my daily driver and he was swamped with customers and cars, but he made the time to work on it right away. He called me with constant updates on the truck to include work that needed to be done, parts and services rendered, price and timeline so I was never once in the dark. Had the Jeep back quickly and I left with a big smile on my face. It runs like a dream again and I have JJ's friendly demeanor and timely service to thank
