Business ProfileforAAMCO Transmissions of North Austin

I just took my 2013 Kia **** in for a clutch rebuild. They charged $2052 for the repair, which included $699 for parts. Conveniently for them, every single part they charged me for came out to be $139.00 each, with the exception of the pilot bearing, which they charged $170.00. The market price for this part averages around $22.00. Upon further inspection, I find out that all parts included for the repair totaled a maximum retail value of $250, however, I was charged $699 just for parts, as well as over $1200 in labor and $100 for a tow. This is my third car with a manual transmission thats needed a clutch rebuild and their labor alone averages 40% higher than any other rebuild Ive had, including two clutch rebuilds on my **** ***** Prelude which contained a hydraulic clutch, as opposed to the cable clutch in my base model 2013 Kia ****. The cost of parts for this job was triple the cost of parts of any other clutch rebuild Ive ever had. They listed the clutch at $139, the flywheel at $139, the pressure plate at $139, and the pilot bearing at $170. Like I said earlier, all four of these parts have a combined maximum retail value of $250 if purchased from an auto parts store, and even less if ordered online. With over charging like this, I can only assume the amount of labor I was charged was also fraudulent. Do not bring your car to this repair shop unless you would like to pay almost double the market price for transmission work.
