I don't know man, it's a toss up to me between these two, I wouldn't go for the dealer repair, but I'd be wary of AAMCO as well. Maybe search around for a local vw independent mechanic or similar for another quote? Hey 2002 beetle, that’s seems way steep, even for an expensive repair like the transmission.

Seems a little unfair and expensive to treat a customer who spent over $8k in service tickets over the last 7 years to get treated like this. AAMCO will rebuild the tranny for $2500. Any thoughts.

Sharon, that's not good at all, and very uncommon. I highly suggest you get a second opinion on that before going ahead with the repair. And I recommend the same thing for you Mark, before doing a repair that big, I recommend a second opinion, because repairs like this almost never happen at the mileages you both listed. Dripping oil does not usually warrant the replacement of an entire part like that. I think the dealers your both working with are trying to shaft you. Try out a good independent shop, or another dealer. Good luck guys! Ouch! Sharon, that’s not good at all, and very uncommon.

The service center announced the transmission needs replaced and quoted $4180 to do the repair. VW will not share any of the expense, stating that my 60,000 warranty is past. Katie Fox even turned me down. I have taken very good care of my car and now I'm getting shafted by VW. My 2007 VW Passat Wagon 2.0 has 62,000 miles and started to drip oil.
