The check engine light came on and I noticed reduced power in my Ram diesel pickup. After being…read moretold the diagnostic would be $150 I dropped the truck off at Grumpy's Diesel Service in Cantonment, FL. I was told it needed a new turbocharger and the cost would be $8,400 plus the possibility of an additional $2500 if a nox sensor had indeed failed also. Although I was mentally prepared for the 8 grand, I was not prepared for the news that it would take three weeks to repair. When I asked why so long I was told it would be a week to get the parts then two weeks to do the job. When I pressed as to why it would take two weeks to do a twelve hour job she replied they can't just work on my truck. They would work on mine a while then work on other vehicles for a while. I declined repairs and was shocked when the $150 diagnostic was actually $176.84. They padded the bill with $10 of "shop supplies" (aren't supplies a part of doing business?) and $4.50 HM fee plus sales tax. I drove the truck 325 miles to the Ram dealer in Chiefland, FL (where I'd had maintenance done previously) with no isssues other than it didn't have enough power to get out of its own way. I dropped it off at 8am on a Monday morning and later that day they called and said an actuator had failed, the turbo was fine. After informing the service advisor I needed to get back to my rv in Pensacola due to family medical issues he said they could overnight the part for an additional $200. Even so i was pleasantly surprised when the dealership called at 11am the next morning and said the truck was ready. Cost? $3800. I was "home" shortly after dark with a properly functioning truck. I will never set foot in Grumpy's Diesel Service again even if my truck stops running at their doorstep and I recommend you seek repairs elsewhere also.

I use a less expensive mechanic, however, for minor repairs as he doesn't mark up parts, have a minimum $60 charge etc. The only reason this place isn't a 5 star is their tendency to keep your vehicle for long periods of time and not always keep you informed of what's going on. My truck was with them for three weeks before they looked at it and I had to call them to get updates. I will say that my issues were somewhat unique and this is probably not typical. For major repairs though, don't expect to get your vehicle back in under a week. Factor in that they stay busy and do a very good job and I think it's worth the wait.

What got even stranger was there employee wanted to fight the three of us my father and friend who came to help tow the vehicle back. No one stopped both the employee who was obviously on some sort of drug. The old man was even egging him on.. I suspect both were on meth or crack. It was so bizarre I recorded the event on my phone and the police had to be called. Both the methead and Oldman denied everything even though it was recorded which proves to me their shady mindset and business practices.
