it was aamco, recomended by smeone who appearently has no taste. my mechanic doesnt usually work on honda's, so im still in the market for a honda mechanic. and yes, my mechanic used honda trans fluid and changed it and I donthave to get up at 4 to be at work on time!
lucky im to poor to follow through. My poor 96 accord has had the ABS light on for a year, and the check engine light came on in feb. So in feb i couldnt find anyone who was willing to scan the car for under $70 (couse im a girl) so i took it to my local lube and shoot and had then change my trany fliud and oil a check everything else. They charged me and said they did it and with special honda yada yada yada.
it starts making a noise which i detiermined (thanks to here!) to be the ABS pump.
Fast forward to june, i finally find someone to check my poor car, (a national brand service place) and he looks it over and scans. I told him i think its the abs pump so look at it for me. he comes in and tells me that its my transmission, that the noise is my torque converter and the whole thing will have to be ripped out. its $3500. I cry. i panic. i tell him im poor and i dont een qualify to borrow so i leave and dry dock my car. cry more. Ride my bike 32 MILES a day to get to and from work.
So i finally have a real mechanic look att he car and he tells me the noise is my abs pump, and not a big deal right now since i know how to brake with out ABS (my first car was a 75 ford currior, and he worked on it). he also tells me the torque converter failed once but doesnt show signs of needing to be replaced, but instead MY FLUID WAS NEVER CHANGED. EVER. IN THE 5 YEARS I OWNED THE CAR. and who knows before that. Im MAD. Who do i report both these guys to? Do i burn they're buisnesses down? Do i sick PETA on them? Do i sue? Im REALLY mad.
te check engine light is on, the abs light has been on for about a year now and for the last 6 months the pumps been whining for about 45 seconds or so before the abs light comes on. also, when the car makes pump whiney noises the rpms go down. i googled and googled for a month and think this is my problem. but maybe im wrong
