The last time the truck was there they hit something with the truck (I'm guessing a rack) and wrinkled the front fender and broke a headlight. When confronted about the damage they denied doing it and would not fess up to any part of the damage. We know they had to be aware they did it because we could tell the headlight had been replaced and they left a chunk of the glass in the bed. Honestly I'm surprised they even replaced the headlight( old style halogen). Given a choice, I'd go somewhere else.

I used to have a lot of respect for those guys and suggest them everywhere. but the diagnostic price plus quote of $2000+ was fricking absurd for what was actually going on. it was professionally fixed elsewhere for under $1000, correctly.

I had heard good things about B & L Transmission and stopped to have them take a look at it. The owner was very friendly and said "lets take it for a drive." He and I took a quick ride and he had a good idea what the problem was. We returned to his shop and he got under the truck and started shaking the drive shaft around and said the truck should not be driven. He said repairs could be somewhere between $800. to $1,400. and it would take a day or two. My truck was not safe to drive. He then gave me a ride home about 4 miles away. I then received a call from the owner several days latter who told me he was able to adjust and tighten and lock a nut and the damage he expected was not present. He surprised a retired guy, on a fixed income with a bill of $116.00. I was so surprised and grateful that honest people like him still exist. Places like this are rare today. I have nothing but respect for honest people who do the right thing.....when no one is looking. God Bless You.

The outside and inside of this location is very clean and bright not like other dark and dirty service locations. I only needed to wait a short time for others in front of me to be serviced. Once I talked to someone we discussed different options available to me and I felt I was not being forced to pay for the higher priced oil. We discussed the differences and I was able to make an educated decision. The service time was reasonable for the oil change about 30-45 minutes as expected and less than I have waited in the past at other locations. And it allowed me to have a couple frosted beverages at 30 hop on the other side of the parking lot. :) When I returned shortly before my service was done I was the only one in the entrance. I was quickly & cheerfully greeted by the Service Manager Kevin and he apologized for not meeting me earlier because he was with another customer. He mentioned that he was finishing up some research into some of the concerns the technician found with my vehicle. He showed me pictures and later provided me with prices and service times for each item. I was provided with email receipts and future service items along with the inspection details of everything from tire pressure to air filter quality. I would feel comfortable recommending this location to anyone who has very limited automotive knowledge. I do not think they would take advantage of anyone. I will be coming back for all my automotive needs. Did I mention the large amount of treats they have for the customer? From Twizzlers to fresh brewed coffee! Yes!

New service manager told me that both front CV shafts needed to be replaced "no grease left in joints" and the Rack and pinion steering gear must also be replace due to excessive play. I removed the axels and found nothing wrong with them, not even a tear in one boot. And the rack and pinion is nice and tight. I returned today and showed the Serv Mgr the axles and asked him to explain. He treated me with total disrespect and did not care that he flat out lied about multiple "needed repairs". We will not be using this company again, not even for a simple oil change. They didn't even bother to grease the top ball joints on my truck when I took it to them last month. If anyone askes me, I will tell them not to trust anything these people say.

Upon taking it in, it was a routine check in/drop off procedure. They got back to me the same day, but here's where they won me over. My repair was fully covered under Jeep warranty, so taking it to the dealer would cost $0. Al, who advised me of my options said I could just go get it fixed free at the dealer (which he communicated to them before I went). The point is that these guys could have easily gone the "shady auto shop" route and charged me for something the warranty covered, but instead these guys were honest. My car is fixed, and these guys saved me $600. Will definitely recommend them
