They charged me $32 a quart for the oil and $54 in labor. The last time I got my oil changed it cost me $170, so I feel like I'm being price gouged. Since the prior owner sold the business, things have gone way downhill there. Take my advice and never bring your vehicle to this place. They don't deserve your business.

Yet another visit to youngs gear. I purchased a 99 ranger…read moreP.o.s from craigslist as a backup winter car. I was not sure if the 4x4 was working or not. I did not particularly want to engauge it on the dry summer pavement and scrub the tires around corners to see. I was too lazy to jack up all four tires to test it out. I asked them to check the whole thing out. If this place was unscrupulous, they could have snagged me for a new controlbox, a new electronic transmission actuator and more. In the end all they did was replace my 4x4 engaged light. and my differential fluid, as requested by me. Keep in mind the owner is on site. Unlike many other places. Other posters have issues. 4x4 cars take a beating up here in Alaska Good work isn't free. I personally am never upset if a mechanic discovers stuff wrong with my car that I was unaware of I am pleasantly surprised. And not upset and take out the information on the messenger. --------------- Way to go Young's gear!!!! I wanted to buy a " new" old 4x4 I found it on Craigslist. I drive it. I liked it. I called up Young's and without notice!!!! Asked if they'd look over the 4x4 components. They did. I paid shop rate for a mechanic to test drive, and jack up and check all that Young's is good at fixing They noticed a leaky shock and old t case fluid That's it. They thought the car was a good buy. I've had it 6 months now. No probs! Thanks Greg! And the guys at Youngs!

Young's ordered a new front drive shaft which worked well, but after 9 months, it caused significant vibration. They contacted the manufacturer and confirmed the warranty, and replaced it with a new drive shaft in one day. They also ensured the replacement shaft would not have the same problem before installation. Thanks to Chris and the Young's Gear team for covering a problem that was outside their control, and made the process very smooth despite a part failure. I highly recommend!

It was outside of the 24 month warranty period, but well inside the 24,000 mile warranty period. B and B's best offer? 10% off another $3,000+ B and B rebuild. Disappointing to say the least... As it turns out, we can get a NEW transmission from the dealer with a three year 100,000 mile warranty for a few hundred dollars less once it's installed.

Didn't make me feel bad for not sharing the info at the start (didn't cross my mind). Also Oscar at the front desk was super friendly and we had great conversations about fun things that we had in common (vacations, motorcycles, etc). He brought out yummy fresh coffee and was very hospitable. If I lived in Anchorage this place would definitely be my go-to shop as they do basically every car repair service besides transmissions. Thanks for making a stressful situation an amazing one!! Honest, friendly, and they care about customers who are in for an emergency fix as well as their regular customers. I was referred to them by a friend who is a regular and I'm so glad I went to them!

Well since may my Toyota has been down.I had suspected it…read morewas the transmission that went out since drive is neutral and only reverse really works. Called all around anchorage to see who would rebuild Toyota transmissions, pretty much no one. I was suggested hansens transmission by the transmission shops I had called and various people. Hansens said bring it by end of June and they'll start on it July 5th. I was on the slope and called them on July 5th to get an update and they said they're so busy they will start working on it first week of august. So first week of august rolls by and I call them again for an update and they still haven't worked on it. The 2nd week of august rolls by and I get an update saying the transmission is fine, but the rear diff exploded. So I authorized them to replace it while I was on the slope (repair was 3000$) didn't care for the price, I know I could have done it cheaper myself but I just wanted it done by the time I get off the slope because my time is valuable. I got back from work august 26th and went to go pick up the truck. I got the keys and went to go start it and when I went to go out it in drive, drive wasn't working. It would just rev up and not move. The dash was also lit up like a Christmas tree, and the rear differential locker was stuck on in 2 wheel drive. In Toyotas the rear locker only supposed to be on in 4 wheel drive. So I went to go inform them about everything, and they said "oh we thought you had all that stuff disabled cause you have it set up for off-roading" and I was like uhhhhhh no it wasn't like that when I dropped it off. Then they said they were going to forward futher diagnostics to their partner to dig into it more. On September 26th so another month, they finally looked further into it and they had said the rear inferential control module is bad, and the transmission is bad. But hansens told me it was fine in the first place. After being told the transmission was bad, they said they wouldn't work on it and said "no more foreign vehicles" but they didn't even Touch it and gave a bad diagnostics and now I'm out 3000$ and to make it even better, I got laid off during this whole process. So don't waste your time here.
