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!

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!

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.

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.

Unfortunately, the warranty I was sold there can only be used through their service department, and dealing with them has been an absolute nightmare for even minor repairs. Bonnie stepped in and walked me through everything with patience and professionalism. Because of her, I'm now in the process of canceling that warranty and switching to one that allows me to use Big O exclusively. That peace of mind means everything to me. I've trusted shops like Big O Auto Repair before--my last truck lasted 20 years because I had honest, reliable mechanics who did the job right the first time, never cut corners, and stood behind their work. That kind of trust is hard to find. The team at Big O is exactly that--honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to taking care of both you and your vehicle. I have full confidence that with their help, my current truck will go just as far. If you're looking for a place you can trust with your vehicle, this is it.

I spoke with Dom a week ago to set up an appointment time and date (which was today about 2 hours…read moreago). I have 7 kids (I'm a foster parent), and I'm a full-time student. Between doing homework and tending to my kiddoes, I missed a text and a phone call from Dom because one of my kiddoes had my phone. Rather than showing up at our already agreed upon date, time, and location, Dom just moved on to his next appointment. About a quarter to 4, I realize what time it is and clearly i've not spoken to Dom so I got my phone and reach out to him. Rather than having any understanding he put the blame on me for the missed appointment. Saying I knew we had this appointment, I should have had my phone readily available so he could call prior to coming (this was not discussed when we originally agreed that he would be here today at 2pm). I just wasted a week where I could have scheduled with someone else. Dom's approach to this situation was ridiculous and I will not be reaching out to this guy for any future service needs. So many reviews say he was reliable, but in this case, he was flat out disrespectful and lacked any professionalism when I reached out. Update (same day as initial review): Just received a phone call (920 at night) from Dom, who questioned my review attempting to justify his actions of moving on to his next appointment because I did not immediately answer my phone at the appointed time. He mentioned I was a "jerk-wad" and fit the description for a "typical Yelper" because I foster 7 children and for writing my initial review. He also mentioned that assuming that someone will be at the time and place agreed upon was unrealistic in his line of work. His response to my initial review also provides false information as he texted me once at 204, and called at 210, contradicting his message of "I always call my customers at least an hour in advance". This follow-up phone call of his continues to prove my initial point of a complete lack of respect and extreme unprofessionalism, simply for leaving a 1-star review based solely on my own experience with him.
