We also stated it was our only vehicle and would need it then. Almonds called us week later to explain we needed a new manifold & the price. We told them to go ahead with the repair & we would be back at the end of the following week. They called us again 4 days before we were to return to tell us they lost our truck keys, so they had not started the repair yet. 2 hours later they called to say they found our keys. We told them again we would be in late that same week for the truck. Jan 16, Friday, we called to pay for the repair by phone, so we could pickup our truck Saturday . We were told they had not even started our repair yet! I scrambled to call around to find a rental car for the weekend. I finally found one available at Budget-it cost $300! We drove there first thing Monday, only to find they had just pulled our truck into the shop then proceeded told us that they had no idea when they would finish the job that it could take a few more days! I was very upset and told him how he cost us money and he did not care. He admitted he lost the keys and waited 5 days before calling us to tell us! He also admitted he failed to get our truck into the shop in over 3 weeks time, knowing we were coming back to no vehicle and he then admitted not having anyone let us know it was still not completed or why. No follow up, no customer service. NO APOLOGIES AT ALL. JUST AN OBSTINTANT and ARROGANT ATTITUDE. ONLY INCOMPETANCE FROM THE START. I would not trust this place, as they have proven to be unreliable and incompetent when you need them most!

Turns out the front hub assembly was worn out and making noise around 30 mph and higher that was throwing me off. They charged me $120 to diagnose the issue and then wanted $610 to replace the part. Mind you this is ~$100-150 part online and just over an hour of maintenance. Took it to another mechanic who said he would've charged me $10 for the diagnosis the issue. He ended up charging me $300 and had it done in about an hour. I've avoided dealers for many years because of this crap and I'm sorry I came in.

Hunter and his team are genuine. My car overheated this afternoon on my trip from Hudson, FL to…read moreCincinnati, OH. I LUCKED OUT in breaking down a few short miles from Hunter's shop. I have been in the auto repair industry for 27 years, most recently as an executive for a $600m automotive repair company. Specifically, i was vice president of store operations for 200+ locations. That said, I can say with confidence that Hunter is the epitome of professionalism. It's a challenge to find someone like Hunter. He's as solid as they come. A true professional. I recommend Hunter and his team wholeheartedly. I feel LUCKY that I broke down where and when I did, and I that I stumbled onto his business. Hunter, I can't thank you enough!!
