I took my GMC truck to this shop in need of a frame after an accident. I wanted to keep my truck for the reason of a lot of money in upgrades. They said they would be able to do the repairs.
I got an estimate of around $11,000 paying out of my own pocket. I gave them $7000 to get started.
Granted I live in Montana but from The Lansing area. This accident happened while visiting family in Michigan. I would fly back to get my truck when it was finished.
There was no rust on the vehicle being from Montana. Aftermarket motor, suspension, wheels, sound system, exhaust, extras. It was in April 2023 I left my vehicle with them. I'd call once a week to find out progress on it. I wound ask Abe, the man handling the phone conversations with me about paying the rest of the bill. He would say "Wait till it's done". I had to find a frame for it myself for them to pick up back in Michigan. They finally started working on it November. I thought great finally getting progress.
I gave it a couple of weeks for them to complete the job, without me bugging them. Then when I called for three months there was no answer. In the middle of March I received a call from a insurance company in Indiana.
Apparently the shop had a fire in it. My truck was one of the vehicles in that. There insurance was only going to give me $6200 for my vehicle. I had more then that in just the aftermarket engine. I ended up going through my insurance. It was a better offer than there's.
The real problem is I was never reimbursed for the $7000 I put down at the beginning.
I was told that Triston would handle that part of the transaction. The two time I was able to talk to him, he was vary short and rude with me. Stange that he won't answer or return phone calls from me since then.
I would not recommend this shop for any repairs. read more
