    My truck was towed in the middle of the snow storm on 03.04.23. I left it there because they dont open for service on the weekends. Waited to hear from someone on that Monday, no one called and so I called them the Tuesday to find out the status of my truck and was told that it was my transmission. They sent me an estimate of over $13000 for parts and labor. I refused their parts and ordered from my own dealer which no surprise was over $2000 less than Daves quote. My parts- transmission arrived on Friday morning and they did not look at my truck until Monday. After 1 week out of commission and my clients are waiting on their vehicles to be delivered. I spoke to ******* and he told me that my truck would most likely be completed on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning the latest. I went there Wednesday midday and they told me that they just noticed the leaks on the transmission hoses which was not there before. This means that they cracked my hoses and still fit them up and then telling me that they never saw the cracks until they placed in the transmission. They also gave me a new bill of 18 hours labor and the previous which is uploaded was for ***** hours. Today is March 17, 2023 and my truck is still at Daves repair. With the final bill of $4,710.05 which does not include the parts of almost $8000 which I purchased elsewhere because of being over charged by Daves. This business needs to be shut down, they have zero conscience and are thieves. I Would URGE anyone who needs service for their trucks to RUN!!!!
