    I don’t know where you are out of but bring me that truck and you’ll have her done in a week. It’s horrible the stories I hear with mechanics these days some of these people working places can’t find tits in a strip club for god sakes. It just sucks that every one else has to pay $$$ for their stupidity.

    I agree not my first down south rodeo but this one I might not win! Most of these shops in Charlotte get scared and tell you to go to the dealer which doesn't give you much chance to survive when they have the never ending parts exchange program and the $145 hr

    I really don't know how you truckers stay in business after spending so much money to get your trucks fixed at these shops and their still not fixed. I mean do you guys get money back if the problem isn't fixed????

    My situation involves legal representation. There are accounts opened when you own your own company and just like anyone Credit cards and loans available for repairs

    I understand money can be made if you're one of the lucky ones but how long it takes to get your money back, you can take that truck to 3-4 different shops for the same problem and dump thousands at each shop just a lot of hassle.
