Upon arrival at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota I spoke with Chad Russell the owner and asked him if he can do work on my BMW Z3, he assured me he could, I left the car and my wife drove me home. IT WENT DOWNHILL FAST FROM HERE!

I dropped off my BMW Z3 on Jan 14 2025 to Chad Russell at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl to find out why check engine light stays on, fix some engine or transmission oil leaks and to look at power steering unit that might need be replaced. Chad at Aamco got back to my same day, Jan 14th, with an estimate of $3,703.93 to fix all the problems, I said go ahead, worst decision I ever made in my life. After 66 days and 2 returns for further service and additional billing, Chad at Aamco sent me a text to tell me the car would be ready on March 20th, 2025, it wasn't. I arrived at 9:00 am at Aamco on March 20th, 2025 my car was up on the lift with part of the transmission out, WTH? After a confrontation with Chad at Aamco in the parking lot I left with the assurance that car would be ready next March 21, 2025, which it was, and I drove it home. Two days later on March 23rd, 2025 on the way back from my neighborhood Publix, I heard a loud thumping sound coming from under the car, I put the car in my garage and started calling BMW car repair shops to get an appointment for an estimate on what this new problem was. 

On April 1st, 2025 I got an appointment with Jesse's Garage European Auto Repair - Clark Rd Sarasota Fl to bring the car in on April 8th, 2025. I never made it to the garage on April 8th under power, on the way to Jesse's garage, only 6 miles from my house, the drive shaft tore out of my car and almost caused an accident on Proctor Rd in Sarasota. I called AAA and had them towed my car the last 4 miles to Jesse's Garage. After an extensive bumper to bumper diagonals at Jesse's Car Repair it was determined that the drive shaft had come loose and twisted itself out of its moorings, how was that possible? Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl had my car for 66 days just prior to the drive shaft falling out of my car, just a coincidence? Aamco car repair Clark Rd Sarasota BBB Reviews. We'll see.
