Lee DEFINITELY deserves not 5 stars but 10 Stars!!
The kiddos and I had gotten stranded at my parents home (thankfully it acted up there in the driveway and now while on the highway!) when trying to leave to go back across state!
I had called about 7 other diesel mechanics prior to calling Kingdaddy (mainly bc of location).
At the time all I wanted was a diagnostic test specifically for a f550 super duty duly diesel truck.
O'reillys and AutoZone kept showing that nothing was wrong (the night before)... the next morning I couldn't drive the truck!
All the places said that either our truck was too small (they worked on semi diesels), or too big (they worked on just regular trucks). Two other places said they could get us an appointment for next week to run a test...
also two other places said they couldn't test it till two days later...
Kingdaddy (Lee) said "come on in! No appointment necessary!" *that's when I realized that my truck wouldn't run in the morning...* so I called them back and was going to ask if they could possibly come out and run a diagnostic test. But after explaining what happened Lee quickly said "I'll be there as soon as possible (was an hour!!)"
"YES! Sweet!"- I said
He showed up shortly after and ran a few tests and showed (& explained) us on his computer screen what was going on. We then called a towing company that he uses & recommended and got it to his shop.
They worked on the truck and were very HONEST from the beginning through the whole process to the end!! He ended up not needing to replace the ficm, however found a couple other things (but are things we don't need to replace Today, but soon). He even told us that!
Like He is just so amazing that he wasn't trying to be out there to charge extra for everything and try to make it like "oh this problem has to be fixed right now today"!!!
**in our experience, pretty much every place is like that... my husband is a pretty well rounded mechanic himself but recently had all his mechanical tools stolen.... so he's knowledgeable about such things and knows if something is in dire need or not.
My husband also wanted the "stats" that showed up on his computer. While we couldn't quite get a print out, he was able to send me some short videos of each screen that showed what the truck was doing!!
*this is mainly so my husband has something to refer back to :-)
Lee at Kingdaddy is LEGIT! The staff that works there as well are Fantastic and honest hard workers!!! The receptionist over the phone has EXCELLENT personable, social skills. She's super sweet!
They all are down to earth, great hard working, quick communication, EXCELLENT Prices, & VERY HONEST people!!
There definitely needs to be more people like them in this world!!
I will Happily and ONLY do business with them again!! read more
