    It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this review. I have used moonlight for several years and spent probably $10000 in that time. I took my truck in for repairs and was told that it would be best to change motor. I asked how much and was told 1,000-1,200. I purchased a motor and delivered it. A few days later I was told they had to change the oil pan , intake manifold exhaust manifold gaskets and studs, a coolant hose and a few extra things. Ended up paying $2100. About 2 weeks later my oil light came on and I checked the oil. 2 1/2 quarts low. I took it back to moonlight and was told the rear main seal and the timing cover gasket was bad and it would cost $1000 but that it should be under warranty from ***** **** said the motor had stickers all over it saying to replace the seals and gaskets. But if I would bring it to ******* he would replace it for $300 So I took it to ******* and found out that 2 oil pan bolts were broke off and that the driver side valve cover was cracked. Possibly while installing the motor $1,100. I went back to moonlight and showed ***** the picture of the broken oil pan bolts and the valve cover. He said we didnt do that and asked for the information of the mechanic that fixed it and that he would get back with me. Its been 3 weeks and nothing. Plus the truck overheating and I find that they broke the heater core while putting the coolant hose on. Now I dont have heat because we had to bypass the heater core. Im NOT happy with them. I now have a total of $5,300 in the motor and having to replace then repaired. And I have no heat now. I really thought with all the money I spent there they would of at least called me back. Disappointed
