This is a really good group of mechanics and service personnel. I use them for anything beyond an oil change (I do those) and they've kept my 2005 Explorer running very well. Derek has been extremely helpful and flexible. He showed up on his day off so I can pick up my vehicle. I appreciate this level of customer service especially since my work schedule is the same as his shop hours. I will definitely keep coming back and recommend others to give him a try.

Derek, thank you for your professionalism and technical knowledge. I remember many years ago when I bought my Honda Accord for Transmission work, your PR and great customer service was all I needed. Since then I have become your customer particularly that Honda ran smoothly after that and I kept it longer than I thought. With the trust in your workmanship and your service I also decided to bring my Lexus there. The shop meets my expectations and I know after each service I feel comfortable driving the Lexus on the road.
You guys are five stars to me.
Thank you and your professional team.

I had transmission trouble with my 2018 Toyota and Derek at AAMCO Walnut Creek was an absolutely fantastic help. They fit me in last-minute and gave me a no-nonsense assessment of the issue, a quick fix timeline, and had me back on the road within a few days. Instead of the $9,000 in repairs my dealership quoted me, Derek and his partners were able to fix my transmission issue for only $2,300. My car drives great now, and I’m grateful to the folks at AAMCO for their honesty, technical knowledge and fair prices. I’ll definitely be back!

Derek and the crew at AAMCO are exceptional. Our 2003 Infiniti SUV couldn’t be smogged because the “Service Engine Soon” light had come on and the codes indicated a transmission issue (our regular mechanic referred us to WC AAMCO to address the issue). They thoroughly inspected the transmission, locating and repairing the problem, and gave us the vehicle back in much better shape. A rat had chewed through many wires in the electrical system, making the problem difficult to nail down and complicated to repair, but they fixed it all, comprehensively, affordably, and in as timely a manner as humanly possible, with courtesy update calls throughout the process.

Derek and everyone at AAMCO are simply the best — super knowledgeable, communicative, friendly and genuine, and great at what they do (which seems like pretty much anything you’d need done!). We highly recommend their services for all of your automotive repair and maintenance needs 🙂

Derek and Huang got my 1985 Saab up and running after it was non operational for a couple years. I was fearful that my old car was beyond repair but through tenacity (getting parts from a Saab reseller on the East Coast), communication (working with me to prioritize which repairs should be performed immediately), and specialized knowledge (Huang is a Saab expert), Derek and Huang got it running very well! Derek is honest, practical, and kind. I wish I could give this wonderful business 50 stars! Thank you so much!

We've been going to Derek and his crew for at least a decade at this point, and keep going back because of the honesty in the customer service and quality of the work they do. I grew up wrenching on cars in the 70's through the 00's, so I'm particular about who I let do the kind of repairs I no longer can physically do. I trust Derek to give me an honest evaluation of what work needs to be done, and more than once it's been simpler (and less expensive) than I expected. I recommend using Walnut Creek AAMCO to anyone and everyone!

Derek and his team are honest, efficient, and provide excellent service. It’s important to have a mechanic you can trust, so look no further. Their hundreds of 5 star reviews speak for themselves.

Derek and his team are amazing. Everyone is super professional and friendly. They were really fast in fixing my transmission and I felt confident that I was in good hands which was such a relief. I highly recommend AAMCO in Walnut Creek!
