Problems getting in and out of second gear on a Lincoln Navigator with automatic transmission. Took the vehicle to my local car repair guy and was told that I had two options. 1. A refurbished transmission ($3,500.00) or 2. A new transmission ($5,000.00. Decided to look for an alternative solution. After a Google search decided AAMCO was the place to take my vehicle. Contacted them via phone and took my vehicle to their Arlington, Jacksonville, Florida location the same afternoon (a Friday). Left vehicle with them and following an initial inspection was informed later in the day that the problem was inside the automatic transmission and it needed to be removed from vehicle for further inspection. Was informed of cost of doing this and asked for my approval to proceed. Mid-day Monday morning AAMCO called to tell me they had found the problem and told me the parts that needed replacing and their cost. Asked for my approval to proceed. Mid-day Tuesday called me to tell me that the vehicle was ready for collection. I picked it up that afternoon. The whole process was carried out in a very professional manner and I am very happy with the results. I saved around $1,500.00 versus the cost of a refurbished transmission.
