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.

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

After the work was completed, I drove the vehicle home for the weekend. On my next drive, I noticed a burning smell. I pulled over and found that both front wheels were smoking. I had to call a tow truck to have the vehicle taken to another repair shop, where they found that Brakes Plus had over-tightened the wheel bearings when replacing the rotors. As a result, both sides now need to be replaced again. I have reached out to the store and corporate but have not received any response. I was able to speak with the store manager, but he has not been able to help with any reimbursement for the damage caused, or even for the tow truck costs to get the vehicle re-evaluated after the incorrect installation by the Brakes Plus technician.

However, they failed to notice that my car has offset wheel sizes (back wheels are wider than the front) and they installed one side backwards.
