More details to this question:
In a couple days of July 2020 started I realized that I have problem with my transmission in my 2013 Ford Escape. I drove it to the AA One Transmissions shop (3825-C Military Trail Lake Worth, FL 33463). I found there George who promised me that he will check the transmission, then he will call me to tell me the cost that my car needs to fix my transmission. George called me next day, he told me the cast will be around $3600 to rebuilt the transmission. I shocked about the price, I told him that is too much, I thought it will be around $300-$500, he said: no way, but I will help you as much I can to reduce the price and I will finish it in two days. I accept, He start working. In 07/17/2020 I went to the shop, I payed sadly $3,544.96, I drove my car. Next day I started hearing a bad noise when I turn on the car. In same day, I got a call from George's assistant Adam, saying that he forgot to added $160 the price of the battery that they change mine with. I the same call I told him abou

You will need to have another mechanic determine if this is an issue with the transmission. In the future you want to insist on a written estimate of the work and certainly NEVER agree to work that you can't afford or are willing to pay. That you thought rebuiliding a transmission was $300.00 shows that you really had little idea of the expenses you might incur if the transmission is bad.
