Going rate 727 rebuild.

Re Aamco, in 2001 I had my 1965 727 BB cable-shift transmission out and needed a quick rebuild since got a new job and relocating. Took it to an Aamco on Buford Hwy in Atlanta and the manager said he had nobody on staff who could rebuild a transmission. So what do they charge $$$$ for? Had a Cottman further down Buford Hwy rebuild it, but they didn't fix my complaint of "morning sickness". For all I know, they just washed it off and never opened it. Once settled in California, I took it to a Cottman which said they would inspect under warranty, but turned out to be scammers. The "mechanic" showed a piece of broken cork gasket he tossed in the oil pan and said in broken English "bad clutch". They put the pan back on with the old gasket so I had to replace that at home since now leaking. I would see the same ~20 cars sitting in their front parking lot for a month as I passed (hostages?), then they went out of business (complaints to the State BAR?). That's when I decided to learn how to rebuild an auto tranny myself and did my Chrysler A-413 and A-604 since.
I know a guy who worked at both big chain you mention.
At both shippng trans gets pulled. No pump rebuild, just were emery the old steels, new clutches. Don't even take vavle body apart just put it back in with new clutches new seals/gaskets., filter.
Put back in, add new fluid and can of TRANS-X.
