Thank you Scott for helping me get back on the road with an unplanned flat tire. The tire was fixed with a plug and we were on our way. Just wanted to thank you for your patience and availability.

Please read all!I had a transmission rebuilt here in my 2005 Silverado got the truck back and was very happy. However, after some time I noticed some off rpm behavior and took the truck back. I explained that there seemed to be something wrong with the transmission and it was well under warranty. The 70 something year old mechanic says he s the best around and the only one doing transmissions anymore, what a joke! He told me and my father that there was nothing wrong with the transmission and we had no idea what we were talking about. He said there could be something wrong with the knock sensors and that could mess with what we called a transmission issue.. so I paid him $700+ for knock sensors. The day I picked up the truck it died on the way home it had never died in 2 years I had owned it and also on the way from his shop my check engine light started flashing we immediately had the truck pulled home instead of driving it and called the shop and explained they said bring it back.. we had a problem with this because it seemed much worse than it had ever been the engine was knocking very very loudly I have videos of proof. I ended up replacing some engine parts myself and was able to salvage the damage he had done to my truck.. so I thought for the next few months the truck was my daily back and fourth to work and nothing else never pulled a trailer never any strain on the transmission, taken well care of. Out of nowhere on the way to work I lost the same two gears that had previously went out causing me to have the transmission rebuilt in the first place. While I was at work the same day my dad had called the shop and gotten cussed out and hung up on. WHILE IM AT WORK this old man calls me and says so your transmission went out and I explained the hole situation. You rebuilt my transmission, I brought it back saying something wasn t right. You told me I was wrong and had no clue what I was talking about and charged me 700+ for engine work ( that another mechanic later explained should had been no more than a two hour 300$ max job) and the truck ran worse after I had gotten it back.. now just a few months later of normal every day driving the transmission is out and the truck is undrivable he said well do you want to bring the truck over and let me check it out and I said are you going to make it right or are you going to charge me to get back a broken vehicle he proceeded to tell me YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE A STUPID SON OF A B AND I DONT CARE IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN MOTHER F cker!!! And then hung up the phoneI would highly recommend to stay as far away from this shop as possible not only is the mechanic well past his time of being reliable but he is extremely unprofessional and rude. A major red flag should be that the shop will take on anything when we walked into the place once they had 2 harleys completely in pieces and the whole lot is full of cars that look like they re run down.If you have any questions for me personally please feel free to contact me I will 100% be honest about my entire experience with this business but please DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE with your vehicles time or money there are plenty of honest mechanics within the area who will be professional and up front about mistakes or faulty parts or whatever the case may be.Services: Transmission, Engine repair

Honest people. They are very reasonable. They rebuilt my transmission a few years back. I shopped around. Best price for quality work

Had my transmission "rebuilt." Let's just say I should have sued.

In a town of bad maintenance, this (and Anderson's) was a find. Everything you hope for from Auto repair.
