    John Howell has been my family's mechanic for decades. I don't trust anyone else with my car.

    I can't say enough good things about these guys! I brought my truck in after constantly having…read moreproblems with my front differential. Every time I'd take it out to the dunes and drive through the sand to get my camper where I wanted it, the front differential would end up cracking or failing. Brett and Kev took the time to diagnose the real issue and came up with a permanent solution. They fabricated a custom bracket to reinforce the front differential, making it much stronger, and also re-geared both the front and rear differentials. I was honestly a little hesitant at first because I'd had so many failures in the past, but after taking it back out to the dunes and putting it through some hard driving in the sand, it performed flawlessly. The difference is incredible. My truck feels stronger, more capable, and gives me the confidence to drive it the way I always wanted to. If you're looking for knowledgeable people who stand behind their work and build things the right way, I highly recommend Brett and Kev at Big Boyz. Thanks again, guys you turned my truck into a beast!

From the start, they took the time to really consult with me about how I use my truck and helped guide me toward the right equipment for my setup. That level of attention made a huge difference. Bret, Kevin, and Brenda were all fantastic -- super personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was done right. They went to great lengths to keep me informed throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. I visited a few other shops before making my decision, and none of them came close to the professionalism, communication, and overall service this team provided. The lift turned out exactly how I envisioned, and the truck looks and drives amazing. The post services they include the work they do is above and beyond! If you're looking for a shop that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, this is the place. I'm beyond happy with every service they provided and would absolutely recommend them.

No other shops were open due to the holiday and we thought we were going to be stranded. Came by diagnosed and was able to swap out the battery. We were able to make it home that night.

    You had not heard from me because of how upsetting the entire situation was. From breaking parts…read moreduring the repair to charging me more than what the auto parts dealer has the parts listed for to misdiagnosing the CPU, and finally taking my battery which was recently replaced under warranty and putting an old battery you had on hand into my car and not giving me my battery back. My car died and the battery would only hold a 39 percent charge. I didn't know you never put my battery back into my car ( the one you said the auto parts store had over night to charge) and I had to purchase a new battery rather than have my battery which was less than 9 months old in the car and if it was defective it would have been replaced under warranty which is why I called and texted many times during the after noon but could not wait any longer and had to spend 300 dollars. You owe me at least 300 dollars plus a list of items..... Such as agreement to repair at my house: only to be asked to have it towed to yours- 150.00 Broken fax clutch and fax- 300 or so Over a week without a car for a job that has an 8 hour estimated time. Uber and rental car 550.00 Overcharging me for parts 300.00 And yes it was the crankshaft sensor that we texted you may be the issue ( while trying to help you figure out the reason it would not start) By the way it started prior to you working on it and had to be driven onto the tow truck
