FAQ's

  • What does it mean that AAMCO Staten Island is locally owned and operated?

    It means our center is owned by a member of the Staten Island community who is committed to providing personalized, honest service to our neighbors. You get the specialized expertise of a national brand with the care and accountability of a local small business.

  • Does AAMCO only specialize in transmission repairs?

    While we are the industry leaders in transmissions, we are a total car care center. Our expert technicians handle everything from brakes and oil changes to engine diagnostics, New York State inspections, and heating/cooling system repairs.

  • My check engine light just came on. Can you tell me what’s wrong?

    Yes. We use advanced computer diagnostics to retrieve the specific codes from your vehicle’s computer. Our technicians then perform a manual inspection to pinpoint the exact issue so we only fix what is necessary.

  • What are the signs that my transmission might need a service or repair?

    Common warning signs include gears slipping, unusual grinding or whining noises, a burning smell, or hesitation when shifting. If you notice any of these "drivability" issues, it’s best to have a diagnostic check immediately.

  • Do you provide New York State vehicle inspections?

    Yes, we are an official NY State Inspection station. We can perform your annual safety and emissions inspections to ensure your vehicle is compliant and safe for the road.

  • Is it better to repair my current transmission or replace it with a new one?

    In most cases, a professional rebuild or repair is more cost-effective than a total replacement. We specialize in rebuilding transmissions in-house using high-quality parts to restore your vehicle’s performance at a fraction of the cost of a new car.

  • Do you offer any help with the cost of major auto repairs?

    We understand that major repairs can be unexpected. We offer various financing options (subject to credit approval) to help you manage the cost of service with manageable payment plans.

    Yes. We have the specialized equipment and bays necessary to service 4x4s, SUVs, and light trucks. We also offer comprehensive fleet maintenance programs for local businesses to keep their vehicles on the road.
