I've been to the Aamco located at 2856 clark rd., Sarasota, Fl 34231 multiple times for the same rear main seal transmission leak without resolution. $1,715.40 later and I still have the same leak (photo attached). I've also been recently informed by Chad Russell, owner/operator, that my transmission pan is now leaking, a repair that he committed to fix on 12/8/25 at his cost due to the inconvenience I have experienced. The only problem is that he's conveniently forgotten about this prior commitment and now expects me to pay for the additional service. This experience has been horrible.
Claimed loss: $1,715.40
Desired outcome: I would like the leak to my rear main seal repaired, the transmission pan replaced and a refund of $1,715.40. Thank You.
