My engine light came on a week ago so i took it to AAMCO Transmissions to put it on the machine and two codes came up one with the transmissions and the others with the timebelt . So what cani do about this?
Should i take it to a another shop ? how do i fix these problems? he didn't know what was the problem with the transmissions or timebelt he just read the codes.

Answer
Hi Christine,

What DTC's did it give you? What were the numbers?

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
