How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

As a person who knows little-to-nothing about cars, I was very appreciative of the time Vince took to explain (with a diagram and everything) what was wrong with my car. He helped me understand my choices and how they would impact the vehic...

David and Mark as well as the rest of the staff are great. Every time I’ve got to them they have been extremely helpful and communicative. They’ve also had the opportunity to attempt to overcharge but have been fair in pricing.

Very professional operation. Owner and techs very helpful and HONEST. Identified what was required for the repairs and serviced accordingly. They do not try to add on unnecessary service. Give them your business!

Absolutely blown away by the customer service and professionalism of this AAMCO. I have an unpredictable work schedule that makes it hard to schedule maintenance. I’ve also had a horrible experience with Mavis for my previous service (they...

Dropped my car off middle of the day and they managed to repair it same day. Very happy with such quick service at a great price!

Really overpriced and ignorant. After $500 for a side pan knowing I was in a bind; contacted other shops and the most they said should have been $250. Do not go there way over priced and no consideration.
Unresolved Issues and Disputed Diagnostics
A few reviewers reported issues with unresolved problems, disputed diagnostic accuracy, or feeling that work was not performed correctly the first time.

Absolutely the worst transmission shop I’ve ever worked with. Paid for a diagnosis that was completely negligent. The managers offered paltry compensation for their errors.

Update: I went back after reading john “friendly” response that they couldn’t duplicate the noise. I made sure everyone there was able to clearly identify the noise and their mechanic agrees it is the same noise that was before. Still they...

First, I want to sincerely thank Vince at AAMCO, Morristown, NJ for generously helping my son and me, recently with an automotive nightmare. My son was driving one of our, newly acquired, family vehicles from our home to his college in PA, 300 miles +/-. In NJ the motor blew, classic loud bang and l...

Had a check engine light on my Infiniti FX35. Vince walked me through what needed to get fixed ($25 dollar valve) and also gave me some proactive maintenance suggestions and what there costs were. I did a price comparison with other local garages and found their prices lower then all the others. I'l...

My 2008 Chevy felt like the transmissions was starting to slip so I brought it into the GM dealer in hopes it was still covered under the warranty. It wasn't, and they told me if I didn't have it repaired immediately--costing about $2800, it would break down the next time I drove it on the highway....

I brought my ’99 Lexus SUV to Aamco Morristown last summer with a check engine light problem. I had my car serviced at a local mechanic for two years and despite all their efforts, they could not eliminate the check engine light issues. Vince was extremely helpful in diagnosing the problem and the...

I love my 2003 Acura CL. I will have it until my children drive it. When I was told I had to spend $2300 on a catalytic convertor, I had no choice but take a deep breath and deal with the pain. I decided to ask around and see if there were alternative. When I heard about this AAMCO from a friend...

I would just like to recognize the honest effort by the guys at AAMCO Morristown, NJ. During my recent holiday travel I found myself stranded by the side of the road with car trouble.

Vince and the staff at AAMCO Morris Town are truly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Came in on a last minutes notice to get my oil changed and they were able to accommodate me. I was in and out in within 20 minutes. Price was ~$27 after tax for regular motor oil and they offered free wifi,...
