They seemed nice, and told me I also needed new lug nuts because the last garage had put them on too tight. After $1,100 I picked up the car after hours and it still made wheel noise, only this time a bump bump bump sound. I had to take the car out of town the next day. While in VA I stopped for gas and to check out the increased noise. The tire was loose. I had the car towed to a different garage and they told me the lug nuts had not been tightened and the brake line was not properly connected. I called A&J to explain and sent them a copy of the invoice with photos from the other shop. The person on the phone said he'd let the owner know. Since then (one week) I've reached out and have heard nothing. No discussion, no offer to help, no apology. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I had the codes looked at, and I was told that I needed to take my vehicle to a transmission expert. I took my vehicle to Affordable Transmission and Auto Repair on Capital Blvd in Raleigh. My car was repaired that week at a much less price than anticipated. I just want to thank Eddie for a job well done and for his honesty. If you are looking for honest and reliable mechanic I recommend that this is the place to bring your vehicle.

Had a transmission replaced and failed to honor warranty when transmission required a second repair due to a faulty part. Had Messer Transmission replace the transmission in our Ford F-150. It was under warranty for 18,000 miles. Brought truck back in within 4 months of replacement being performed due to the transmission leaking. They told us they tightened the seal and it was fixed. We drove it to Colorado due to the military giving us orders to report to Fort Carson, Colorado from Fort Bragg, NC. During the drive the truck continued to leak and required 3 quarts of transmission fluid! It was overheating and had difficulty the entire way. Upon our arrival we took it to Best Western Transmission service in Colorado SPrings. They immediately told us that the seals were faulty parts and would need replacements. Messer transmission service was contacted and said they would send the replacement parts. They refused to pay the labor cost and while speaking on the phone with Steve he informed us that our warranty was no longer valid. He also said we could drive it back to NC and have it repaired at his shop. This is not a possibility since the truck would not even make it to NC due to the transmission problems. He replaced a transmission and refused to honor the warranty. He also refuses to accept responsibility for his company making a costly mistake that we are still paying for.
