The outcome is my transmission is fine. It's really a minor engine issue and may not need immediate fixing. Honesty is fantastic in this small business. So I saved $5700. Not sure if the big dealership is just incompetent or worse. Obviously when I do need a transmission, I know where to buy it! Thanks for the help. Tom

So my car was taken to this place and at first it was a normal experience then I started asking…read morewhen my car would be fixed after a week of waiting pretty normal right then I finally got a answer after two weeks they said it was done I went and picked it up and made it about 25 miles then the transmission was slipping shifting hard for about two miles then it was barely able to move so I got ahold of them and I was told to take it back here is when it got very frustrating I looked over the work on the car that was supposed to have a new transmission it was not new it was not replaced so I took it back to him and said that there was nothing done to my car I was told I was wrong but why would a new transmission stop working in 25 miles it would not have stopped working like that so then I was told I have to wait at the back of the line because he is busy I would think that being I already paid in full I would be first in line sence I have waited over two weeks at this point but nope he will get to it when he has Time

They did address a minor other issue (removing a front hitch) I'd told them about at no charge and I want to acknowledge that but it was a distant second to the priority work. The next week I had a subsequent appointment to have an issue on a separate car fixed and they hadn't been able to track down the part that entire day. I'd been specific about what it needed in advance. All in all. I didn't feel listened to when I described what I needed, and two days were wasted. I did find the staff there to be courteous and professional in all instances. However, I wanted to try this place out just in case I needed something fixed and my longtime preferred mechanic wasn't available, and I won't be going back.

If you are looking for a trustworthy local diesel shop, this is it! They have earned a loyal customer in me. I will be recommending them to anybody I know needing a good diesel mechanic. C.

They lost the cash for the jobs in the short term, but instead they earned my loyalty. Add to that, they have the best repair prices I've seen (sometimes half the prices of other places). Amusing decorations inside, too. It helps the place feel like a real American auto shop. Make sure to find the sign that says, "Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten." Always makes me laugh. Nice to see "Thank you Veterans" on the electric sign outside. tl;dr: Honest mechanics 2. Hyper competitive prices
