I realize this post is older, but I have info that is relevant and important. I hope the admin will allow me to post this. My experience with American transmission in edgewater maryland. I need to warn others so they don't get burned like I did!
American Transmission 74 mayo road in edgewater Maryland ripped me off. . avoid this place
I paid them $2750 to rebuild my truck transmission. 1 week after the repair, it was slipping and often not going into gear. the work was never done right. all I got from Dave Layman was lies and excuses. he never fixed it right, nor will he refund my money. Avoid American transmission in edgewater! 4 times he tweaked it, never could get it fixed.
I don't understand how they have been in business so long. I finally had the dealer fix it RIGHT at a cost of $3800. I think American should do the RIGHT thing and refund all of my money but so far they have not.
I recently learned that they no longer rebuild auto transmissions. wonder why? seems they never knew how to do it when they attempted to fix mine.
look for my google review for all the details and BS I had on dealing with American transmission in edgewater maryland. 30+ years I've dealt with many local businesses, this is the FIRST time I've ever been shafted by a local business.
avoid American Transmission in edgewater md and tell your friends please so they don't get burned like I did.

Well guys and gals I think my transmission saga is over.
Dave at American Transmission returned my tranny and debited my Visa card for $2450.00.
My experience with Dave was mixed. It took three phone calls over the span of a month to get things moving. The excuses reminded me of some homework my dog chewed up when I was a young pup. I wonder if my teacher's reaction was the same as mine was with Dave. He asked what color I wanted it painted I said "red" and got it back "distressed red". IE he sent it back unpainted. An oversight? Perhaps. I'll know better next May when I try it out.
Being a bit of a control freak, perhaps my angst was in part due to the distance of his shop. It would have been nice to see the process in person.
I'll let you all know how I make out next spring. In the mean time, Happy New Year everyone!
