Coming all the way from leander texas (90+ miles north) I had a project car in an autotech class however it ended on thursday and wednesday was the last day to finish what I needed which was getting my driveshaft balanced. I took it in on monday afternoon, and they said it would be done the day after. Sure enough, it was. I looked at inland truck pricing and they wanted 230 for balancing, these guys literally rebuilt the whole thing for me for 214.00 exact, reminds me of my dad's old tint shop before he sold it. Great pricing, and great experts who know what they're dealing with at their job! If you need a driveshaft rebalanced, do not take it anywhere else! read more

I took my truck 2011 Toyota Tundra to have the driveshaft repaired by this company i was referred to them so i thought i would give them a try, well what a bad mistake! Craige told me he could fix the driveshaft and he had all the parts in shop and it would take a day to fix it, i said great well the next day i paid $700.00 and pick up the truck took off after 5 miles driving the noise under the truck return i took it back he said leave the truck he will fix it this happen two more times on the last time he said he fix the truck i went to work and the driveshaft fell off the truck and cost me $1,500.00+ labor to fix the truck somewhere else i call Craige to give me my money back he said maybe you took off the bolts that hold the driveshaft on what kind of business dose this i will never recommend any one to this shop and my lawyer will reach out. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS FOR ANY OF YOUR WORK TO YOUR AUTO!!! read more

My driveshaft fell out on my way home. I messaged them on the weekend ( they're closed) but I still received a message back! Monday I shipped, Tuesday they received, Wednesday they shipped back and I received on Thursday! That turn around time is impressive! But that's not all! They asked that once installed if I could take some pics they could help me on point any issues! ( they were just obligated to build me a driveshaft!) I sent the photos and he pinpointed 2 things I could fix pretty inexpensively! Now that is above and beyond!! Thanks guys!! I will definitely put your information out there for everyone to find and recommend y'all over and over! read more

Everyone I spoke with here was very knowledgeable and courteous. My carrier bearing went out again after 15 months so I was needing some work done. I removed my own driveshaft and took it to these guys. They had it back to me asap. So far so good. Would highly recommend. 10/10 customer service 10/10 workmanship. read more

I can not say that I am happy thus the 1 star review. I came to this shop ( I live in SA) with a vibration and hum that 5 star mechanic ( Maximum Offroad Performance) first diagnosed in LAS VEGAS . They just could not get me into repair it during my stay. I had a pretty good clue what the issue was. I paid for 2 new complete driveshafts for my 2003 Ford Excursion March 2021. I left with a bigger vibration and harmonic hum that always began at 45mph and NEVER went away. Imagine driving where you cant drown out a vibration noise with a radio!!!! $550 FOR BOTH INSTALLED. Called shop back. They said try u-joints on axle shafts. Great more money to spend!!!! I Took truck to 5 star yelp mechanic in San Antonio. They checked all u joints said nope.... it is probably the torque convertor in transmission since I had the driveshafts REPLACED. $4k please to change for new transmission. JUST GREAT!!! Suggested replacement transmission parts provider doesn't have great reviews for the 4r100 so went shopping for the best one since I only wanted to do this once. I drove truck to Brian Truck Shop JULY 2021 in Arkansas to get the best 4r100 transmission. Brian spent 30 mins with me driving the truck.... . He didn't ask what I had done to the truck, nothing. He didn't want to know. He didn't want any biased information. HE didn't hook it up to a computer, he didn't check under the truck. He listened to my concerns, wanted the truck to basically "tell him what was wrong" while we drove it through its paces. he then started asking questions. Then the first words out of his mouth was this is a "DRIVESHAFT" issue. I argued I took it to the "best" shop in SA. We drove it back to Brain's shop to discover ---- Rear Driveshaft made completely backwards...... and with incorrect harmonic balancer size. He says they don't make these driveshafts anymore and should always be salvaged not entirely replaced. I'm clueless.... He is not. He showed me 3 other excursions on the lot all driveshafts are mounted 180 degrees different than mine and the harmonic balancers are HUGE!!! He tells his mechanic to reverse the install.... well.... can NOT DO it! So custom driveshaft made backwards!!!!. And he can't believe they did not use facotry driveshaft as a donor... and he keeps showing me how much I paid for this custom HUMmer driveshaft. We took of rear driveshaft drove down the road again in 4wd with only the front axles attached! Vibration and hum gone after 3 months of this nightmare. Problem diagnosed FREE of charge!!!! But driving back home on just the front 4WD not recommended... He tells me he will take care of everything. His plan of action is to go to a junkyard to find a donor driveshaft from a comparable f250. He then schedules an appointment for me with a driveshaft company near him. We scrap the "NEW" driveshaft to help reduce costs. $200 later 80+mph NO HUM.... and driveshaft ready to handle the new BTS r4100 tranny. My drive no longer feels like the old vibrating hotel beds and I can HEAR people talk from the back 3rd row. I was referred to Driveshaft Specialist from numerous local SA mechanics. They must do good work. I Just don't have the same experience with them. I did contact hem within 5 mins of driving it off the lot to express my concerns of the 45 MPH vibration that doesn't disappear and that is when they said check axle U joints... They had the opportunity to double check work provided. They just failed to follow through. I did not contact them to make it right a third time. And when you have a veteran mechanic such as Brian that has been published in nearly every known performance magazine for DECADES telling you this is a rookie mistake all around, just rubs a man the wrong way. Only advice I can provide this company is CHECK YOUR WORK before you let things leave your shop!!!! Or don't take the work if you just DONT know how to work on big trucks. read more

I am passing through town from Sacramento California pulling a travel trailer. My u joints and driveshaft seemed to be acting up. They got me in first thing in the morning even though I was 5 minutes late. They were very pleasant and I figured the bill was going to be astronomical. I'm always willing to pay for good service and work. When he quoted me the price I was surprised that they charged me way less than expected. I am very grateful. I have. 07 Silverado 2500HD 6.6L 4x4 crew cab with 300k+ on the clock read more
