These guys saved me almost one thousand dollars. Another shop told me my rear differential was shot and they'd order parts, have parts on Monday, have vehicle fixed 5 hours later. I was at that shop at 8:05 Monday morning. Another guy showed up around 9. At 10:00 he wrote note and stuck it in door. I asked if they usually didn't open shop. He said they'd had his vehicle for 3 weeks after promising it would be ready in 3 days. At this point I decided that even though I'd wasted 2 hours waiting around, I'd been spared a worse fate.
A friend's shop was nearby and I went to visit him. He called around and got a recommendation for Harmon's. Adam fit me right in, drove around with me for a good 20 minutes and said noise was wind noise NOT differential gone bad. Plus I was complaining that the rear wheels would shudder sometimes when I'd accelerate from a complete stop. He couldn't recreate this. At no time did he make me feel dumb or as if I was imagining things. He was knowledgeable and thorough, putting vehicle up on lift and checking underneath. He even spoke on phone to my husband about work done in past and his diagnosis.
I was going on a 1,200 mile trip. He reassured me that vehicle was trustworthy. Didn't charge me. My husband said give him a hundred as he just saved us many many hundreds by being honest and decent. The other guy and lady working there were friendly and helpful too. A totally impressive operation! read more
