    Any of you guys ever been here ? I have a really hard time trusting anybody to even do a oil change out here on the road, but I found this place on Google and they have great reviews so I tried them out.. Have to say , first class service.. Showed up about 10:00 and was out of the door by noon and there was 3 trucks in front of me.. Free sodas while you wait as well.. Pretty nice place, and the "mechanics" didnt seem like total dweebs. A bit expensive but I would use them again if I had to. even at almost 580.00 for a oil and filter change and grease... my only complaint is I guess I shoulda asked how much grease job was. Because I woulda said no to a 53 dollar grease job and just done it myself :eek:

    I just used that place about 3 weeks ago - other than being a little slow it all went fine. I brought my own oil and the bill was like $225

    The grease job was a bargain. I change the oil, that’s easy. Don’t even get dirty. I pay for the grease job. I watch them, make sure they hit all the fittings. A lot will miss the clutch fork bushings. Slip yokes another one they like to just hit it and move on. I tell them to pump it up good. That goes dry, it binds and pops. Usually after a quick stop, when rear suspension tends to raise up. Took me a long time to figure that one out. $58 for $10 worth of grease. So $48 Labor. Beats crawling around getting all greasy, and being sore for 2 days.
