Alas, we drove here from Phoenix and made it. Hurray. Now, we believe we need our transmission needs replacing despite having documentation it was replaced in December 2012. We purchased the truck in January, however, the transmission repair is not transferable (the VINs on the repair work does match with our truck). We will have to have the truck towed to the facility and this is one shot. Having been in Chicago less than a week, I'm looking out to you guys. I've searched Yelp, but I'm a woman and have quotes from $1,300-$1,800 for a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer AWD V8. Since the tranny was replaced less than 6 months ago, I just don't want another repeat incident--particularly since I'm in a new neighborhood.

Thanks all!

Basically this is the worst possible situation -- the firm that did the work is presumably out of state. Even if they are part of a "national chain" (like Aamco...) there is little that can be done if the failure is, as is other the case, due to some part NOT covered by the rebuilt warranty.

If you do go to a national chain some do offer a true "as you long own the car" warranty -- AAMCO - Warranties & Extended Service Contracts This location is closest to Pilsen -- Rebuilt Transmission Cicero, IL

There are some good independent shops too:

Good luck.
