I took my BMW Roadster to Aamco Car Repair on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl for some repairs and after they "fixed it" the driveshaft fell out while driving in traffic, WTF? Negligence
of RCSJ Holdings LLC d/b/a Aamco Clark Rd Sarasota Fl in faulty repairs on
my BMW resulted in big hit on price when I recently sold the car. Based on Kelley Blue Book data, the estimated Private Party Value for a 1999 BMW Z3 in good condition with approximately 95,000 miles is roughly $6,800. Aamco co-owner Chad Russell told me time and time again over a 63 day ordeal that they could fix the problems with my BMW, but after spending over $4,500 with "Chad" and returning my BMW 3 times to fix screw-ups by his crew, it became apparent everything that "Chad" said to me was proven to be "nothing more that pure unadulterated horseshit"!

Values for this BMW vehicle can vary significantly based on the specific trim and body style. For the 1999 model year, the "2.5" engine was technically marketed as the 2.3 Roadster (which featured a 2.5L 6-cylinder engine). Due to the negligence work of RCSJ Holdings d/b/a Aamco Car Repair on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl, proven in Sarasota County Court case 2025 SC 002429 NC, I obtained a monetary Judgement in September 2025. The driveshaft of my BMW fell out after negligent work completed at Aamco Car Repair Clark Rd Sarasota Fl, this was proven in Sarasota County Court.I had to reduce the selling price of my BMW by $4,000 in March of 2026 as the power steering never worked in reverse after Aamco Clark Rd Sarasota Fl put a supposed new power steering unit in and cleaned the vacuum lines by March of 2025. Forget about any such so called Aamco warranty on the power steering work as I had the car back to Aamco 3 times after paying them in excess of $4,500, they never were able to fixed the power steering that did not work when the car was put in reverse, and there was complete denial by the 'Aamco Ace Mechanics" who were responsible for the driveshaft to tear itself out of my car! This is 100% pure, unadulterated bullshit. Just made-up shit with no basis in reality or facts, that's why Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl lost in Court and had to pay me $$$$ thousands.
In regards to just some of the Aamco repair work, the mechanics at Aamco on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl did not properly tighten the nuts and bolts from the driveshaft to the transmission on my BMW Z3, they were supposed to used new self tightening nuts and bolts as proven in Sarasota County Court Judge Denkin case 2025 SC 002429 NC. As you would expect the driveshaft tore itself off the transmission and fell out on Proctor Rd as I was heading for the I-75 on-ramp, the driveshaft tore off while driving in traffic, could have been a bad accident.

Photo above is from the CCTV of Aamco Car Repair on Clark Rd Sarasota Fl, depicting owner Chad Russell putting his finger and fist in the face of the customer who was complaining about bad service. It cost me over $8,000 to fix all the screw ups by the Aamco mechanics on my BMW in 2025 and then I had to sell it for a big loss in March of 2026 to "We Buy Any Car" Sarasota Fl at $4,000 below the suggested Blue Book price because the power steering unit that Aamco put in my car never worked properly. I probably should file another lawsuit on RCSJ Holdings LLC d/b/a Aamco Car Repair Clark Rd Sarasota Fl for the $4,000 I lost in resale value when I sold my BMW..JPG)
