I'm looking for an alternative to McCandles (International Dealer) to get my 2011 International ProStar worked on. I have not had a bad experience at McCandles, but the wait times with the first come first serve policy can be up to a week. I would like a decent shop that I can schedule a time to bring my truck in so I'm not sitting at the house for a week when I could be rolling, waiting for a one day job to get done. For instance, if I want to get an overhead done and some other work, I want to be able to tell the shop I will be there on a certain date and get my truck back in a few days, not over a week. If the truck can still roll and make me money, I hate having it sit waiting to get work done, want to make better use of my time. Maybe that's not possible, but I have been able to get in to shops when I'm on the road and need work done in a lot less than a week. I live in Denver and just need some recommendations. Even if the shop doesn't take appointments, that's fine, but 5-7 day wait just to get into a bay is a bit much. Also, my truck has the Cummins ISX. Thanks!

What skate-board said. And I was just in Rush (Peterbilt) Denver, did a radiator, thermostat, water pump, coolant temp sensor, a/c compressor, air dryer, and replaced EGR valve. They impressed me. Got me in and out within a half a day. I just went and told them my time schedule and they knocked it out. Only thing I didn't like was the fact that the man knocked it out good n quick, in about 6-7 hours, but I paid for the "book" hours on every job. But LS has a discount with Rush and that took the edge off. Plus they did what I needed in the time frame I needed. GET THERE EARLY!

Don't let TCI Michelin dealer do a 3axle alignment on your truck. I took it back said it's still pulling to the right , guy kept telling me it's dead on , computer doesn't lie he kept saying, my response was B.S. won't be taking nothing back there. they won't warranty there work only 3days had passed.
