Broke my transfer case in my 86 Bronco....without upwelling me, they replaced a $8 bushing and I was good to go. I was prepared to spend thousands of $$$$ on a transfer case and got away with spending under $75. That is a win Experience 2. Took bronco back with several issues that were not at all transmission related. All fixed and under budget. From the steering column to the rebuilt front suspension to the non functioning rear window....this shop hooked it up. Highly recommend.

At that point I knew they wouldn't have my business but I still asked if we can look at appt times since he made sure to tell me as rude as possible that they only do them between 8-12.

Well, yesterday the "Check Engine" light came on and guess what- it has the exact same diagnostic code that Mike had supposedly repaired. He charged us $692.40 and didn't fix crap- he just put a bandaid on it. FYI- if you disconnect your battery the check engine light will turn off for a week or two- never thought the mechanic would be so dishonest and consider this action a "repair".
