I am leaving this review based on my personal experience with Dustin Ross and Dusty Detailing and…read moreRepair. I am sharing the timeline and details as accurately as possible, and I have screenshots, messages, payment documentation, the invoice, and photos that support what I am describing.
I had previously used Dustin for work on my truck and car. I had already spent a significant amount of money on repairs, including approximately $1,200, $2,300, and $2,700, along with additional smaller jobs. Because of that history, I trusted him with another repair.
On May 14, 2026, at approximately 6:00 PM, I met Dustin at Menards and paid him $1,600 toward a rear-differential repair. The total amount discussed for the repair was $3,167.87. The understanding was that the rear differential would be obtained and installed.
The rear differential was never obtained and never installed.
After the repair did not happen and I eventually had the truck taken to another mechanic, I requested that my $1,600 be returned. On August 21, 2026, Dustin agreed to return the full $1,600.
After that agreement, I made multiple attempts to follow up and get the money returned. I contacted him on August 23, August 24, August 25, and August 27, followed up again on September 1, September 5, and September 6 (with a response on September 6), and continued attempting to resolve the matter on September 10, September 12, September 14, September 16,September 17(did receive a response), September 22, September 24, September 30th.
Despite the agreement to return the $1,600, I still did not receive the money back or get the situation resolved.
I want to make it clear that this review is not based on rumors or hearsay. I have documentation of the payment, the repair/invoice information, the conversations regarding the repair, the agreement to return the money, and my follow-up attempts. I also have photos and screenshots documenting the situation.
My biggest issue is not simply that a repair did not get completed. Repairs can have problems, parts can be difficult to obtain, and circumstances can change. My issue is that I paid $1,600, the rear differential was never obtained or installed, Dustin agreed to return the money, and after numerous follow-ups, I still had not received the refund.
I am posting this review so that other customers can make an informed decision before giving a large payment for a repair. I believe customers deserve clear communication, accountability, and for agreed-upon refunds to actually be handled.
This review reflects my personal experience and the documentation I have to support the timeline and statements above.
