I was told Autometrics is solid. The best. My father has worked with them for over 20 years.
I bought a car from them that had a few flags, but I figured since it was Autometrics, there wouldn't be any problem. Within a week, I had transmission problems, one of the two things that they just happen to not cover 100% under their warranty. They offered to replace it new for $3100 or $1500 used (but no guarantee of work), but 50% off since it was under warranty.
Smelling a rat, I took it to another shop who fixed the major issue in two minutes. The transmission mount and seals weren't good, which means that Autometrics NEVER looked at the transmission. The price they were charging for a new transmission was $900 over what a dealer would charge. This other shop would put a used transmission for $750 and guarantee the work.
In short, I got screwed. My car wasn't the most expensive on the lot, but they were willing to screw me since they had made the mistake of taking the car in the first place.
The owner told me that he had to "do right by me" since he had worked with my father for so long. He didn't, proving he's just another used car salesman. Don't go to Autometrics.
