    Needed a 99 point inspection on a 2008 Ford F250 6.4L truck. Tony and Pete helped schedule the…read moreinspection around my work and did the inspection while I waited in the office. They both provided all the information I needed about the truck and gave honest estimates for any work and if it was urgent or not. They were not pushy or trying to sell me anything I didn't need. I was so impressed with their knowledge of diesel trucks that I will be getting all my future service work done at their shop. Highly recommed these guys!

    As a former Ford Dealership mechanic and race shop owner/builder, I rarely have work done by others…read moreand am particular when I do choose a shop, because the only reason I am bringing my auto into a shop is I don't have time to do it myself, due to my own volume of work and don't want to have to bring it back or do it myself. Tony and I spoke on the phone and he gave me a reasonable estimate and choice to use factory parts for my hub bearing on my 2003 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke diesel 4x4 and gave me a quick availability appointment. I had a number of referrals that spoke highly of his service and several were from other shops and ASE mechanics. Ironically, the one other time I had taken this truck was for it to get a pre-purchase assessment as diesels are not my specialty, so I took the truck to Red Label based on good referrals, but they missed that the brakes were almost metal to metal and the hub bearings on the way out at 154k miles, which later the medium bearing howl became a loud howl in just a few miles down the road. Those referrals to Red Label were accurate based on past experience when the owner and his core crew did the work but that has obviously changed the quality of service done in my experience and confirmed that with others who used to go there. Tony did the job on time, did better than the estimate and showed me the old hub so that I could see how the seal on the back side had dried out and let dirt and water foul the bearing and grease despite me lining it right after buying the truck, so it was a long time ago this issue started and is known to occur around 140-200k miles on this big, heavy work beasts. Unfortunately, due to the limited availability of Ford parts, Tony was only able to replace the driver side as none was available for the passenger side, in the Bay Area at that time. As I told Tony my chassis ears electronic sensors had just recently sided and I was awaiting new ones, so requested he do a diagnostic to pinpoint exactly where the bearing howl I could hear in the truck can was coming from, as chassis sounds bounce around and can sound like it coming from the left but is actually from the right. He confirms both front Bearing hubs were howling and the rear differential was howling also, (which I had hoped was just a pinion bearing and not the ring and pinion gears as that is $350 vs $3500). For the differential inspection (cover removal and back play measurement) Tony referred me to Jaws Gears in Sacramento, knowing so did not have the time or shop space to do it myself. That referral was spot on and also saved me from driving the truck any longer and taking a chance on a catastrophic on road failure that would have been much more expensive and a hassle! I spoke to the other mechanic about my Banks Monster package and Sinister aftermarket upgrades and found him very knowledgeable. I will be coming back as the mechanical knowledge of these trucks at this shop is well established, the price and accommodation of schedule are all excellent and I also am proud to support a independent and Veteran owned business!
