Don't come here if you have an older vehicle. They either use cheap parts, employ incompetent mechanics, or most likely the combination between the two. 2 years ago I brought my truck in to get some OEM parts replaced including the water pump. However, after moving out of state and getting my brake pads replaced at another shop, this shop noticed and provided photos there was a small noticeable leak coming from the water pump. 2 years and not even 25k miles into it since the service and it's already a problem. I keep all of my receipts on file, and I forwarded to the manager at this shop the invoice on the day I brought it in to them, and the most recent invoice and photos from the mechanic that did my brakes to prove they installed the part and how little mileage I've put into it, but more importantly I was seeing what they can do to compensate for this since it's not completely unheard of for a shop to cover just for the replacement on the part that failed prematurely that they provided, but I haven't heard from the owner in over a week. Complete Con Artists. Edit: To the manager’s response, maybe don’t use cheap parts or choose to become unresponsive when I send you all of the information after warning you what serious harm this has caused to my vehicle and my wallet, and how I was prepared to go public with this not with the main intention of harming your business, but to bring awareness to other car owners about your lack of ethical business practice and how you can harm your vehicle and money like what you did to me.
Hi Christian, Con artists? Really? It's hard to respond when people send email threats like "pay to fix this or I'll post a bad review" as you did. The rest of the story for others who may be reading this: We completed the work on Christian's 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 in January 2024, and he reported the issue in June 2026. Our parts and labor warranty is clearly stated as 25 months or 25,000 miles with warranty work to be done in our shop. At management discretion, we may warranty work outside of that window and we offered to do so during regular business hours.
