We pulled in on Aug 13th PM for trouble shooting and Jon gave us the grave news and I, being an auto tech knew we had gotten to the right people just in time. We limped back to a local KOA for the weekend while Jon and Rose searched for a re-manufactured transmission. "Nothin' local" We decided to hang out at a great KOA for weekend and Darrell & Bonnie fresh back from two weeks vacation started on rebuild after Jon with SOME help from me removed unit from RV. Here we set with electricity and water from these great folks. They even feed the four of us with their garage crew along with Mike, James and 3 dogs and the Carquest Rep on Thursday 20th.

I trust Brian and his incredible team to do an excellent job as they have consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty, and going extra mile for me.

As I'm driving home the check engine light comes on and the car starts jerking on the highway, and much worse than before. I come back a week later to have it fixed as I live an hour away. This time I needed it fixed for sure, and asked them to replace the rear strut and tie rods also as I already have the parts. Again I left it with them all day. I made arrangements to be off work and asked others to help me with rides while I waited. Didn't hear anything all day until I called 10 minutes before they closed. I was told they don't believe in throwing unnecessary parts at the vehicle because their scanner couldn't come up with anything. The audacity they have to waste my time, money, and energy! Such terrible service, they could've told me from the start if they didn't have the time, talent, or resources to complete the job. This place will take you as a fool. Beware!

I was far from home and thought my brakes might be getting a little sticky, and this was the place where the friend I was visiting went for repairs. They wanted to do about $1000 of brake work, but I decided to go home first and have my regular mechanic take a look. He didn't think any work was necessary, and said that the brakes were functioning within normal range. It makes me wonder if it had been necessary for them to replace the water pump to fix a slight coolant leak, or if they actually did replace the pump,
