Words from the community

I brought in my 2002 Dodge Dakota in after making a trade that ultimately screwed me in the end. With the information I gave him he did what he thought was right. After less than a week he replaced my fuel pump and my MAP sensor to find out one of my cylinders had 0 compression and that my engine was toast. After realizing this he reached out to me and let me know. He didn’t charge me for the service of the MAP sensor or the fuel pump though. He simply charged me with the cost of the diagnostics. He had me questioning if he was the right guy at first, but after the way he put the customer before his work I’m beyond pleased with his shop.
