As it turns out, we can get a NEW transmission from the dealer with a three year 100,000 mile warranty for a few hundred dollars less once it's installed.

Jeremy told us that wasn't the case and showed us how good the brake pads were still and explained where the noise we had heard was coming from.

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.

Young's ordered a new front drive shaft which worked well, but after 9 months, it caused significant vibration. They contacted the manufacturer and confirmed the warranty, and replaced it with a new drive shaft in one day. 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!

I included the header flanges with bolts and gaskets. After ten days, I checked in since I had heard NOTHING. I was told he didn't have the correct flange to connect it to the existing muffler. Did he order one? No. Had anyone called me? No. So I told him I would get one myself. A few days later, I delivered two flanges, just in case! Four days later, the project is done. Did he screw the hanging O2 sensor back in? Nope, just left it hanging. So, we had a small exhaust leak until we got home. THIS: 200 dollars per hour. Special equipment? No. Special training?

When I asked our front guy, he told me the owners set the prices and that he's just doing his job (collecting the money). Tristen, the welder, nice enough guy, friendly, competent. But it is amazing that the owners believe their work and shop is so precious that they demand that kind of hourly rate for muffler work. To be fair, I noted later that it is posted in a small frame behind the counter. But even at that price, this service did not come close to $200 per hour. Would other specialized services that require a 10K+ diagnostic computer, subscription, and experience, etc., justify it? Perhaps. But pipe bending and welding? No. To be clear, Tristen's work was fine after I provided all the parts, but the pipe This kind of blanket rate is what tells customers to keep shopping if you need exhaust work done in a timely and fair way... and don't forget you'll be charged an extra 3% for using your CC. ;-)

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.
