    Pulley that nearly broke in half on the drive home from the shop

    Not a good experience with these guys, they kinda did they're job but broke a bunch and charged me for the damage. I brought my truck (1974 Chevrolet Blazer) in to get a water pump replaced. They had the truck for about a week. When I called them for an update, they said they were going to replace the belts, asking for a high price. Even though the belts were fine I told them to do it in fear that they would break something. After I picked the truck up and paid $500 for the repairs, the pulley cracked in half...on the drive from the shop. Upon further inspection the belts hadn't been replaced either. I talked to the shop the following morning. They apologized and said they would fix the issue and refund me the money for the belts after everything had been fixed. Because the car was damaged, I couldn't drive it. So the shop towed my truck back to the shop. But since my trucks a four wheel drive, I was concerned about towing the truck unless it was on a flatbed. I was assured that they would tow it on a flatbed. They picked the truck up while I was away. I got a photograph from my roommate showing that my truck was being towed, not on a flat bed, and with the front tires rolling on the ground. They had the truck for two weeks to fix the problem. And all they did was replace the pulley with one from a junkyard that is in considerably bad shape, they didn't even bother to clean it up. There is lots of surface rust and it will probably go out in a year. When I came to pick up the truck again, I asked about the refund on the belts and assumed that the pulley wouldn't be charged since it broke on the drive home and was perfectly fine before I dropped the truck off. I was informed that I would not be refunded my money for the belts and I was charged $85 for the worn out pulley. I paid them and left. When I got home I noticed the brake lights were not working, my brakes are squealing a lot more than they did before, and the belts weren't properly tightened. I would not recommend this shop to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable repair.

    Killer the cat.

We limped the truck back to our property in Alabama and picked up a rental. Once back in LA, my dad and me looked all over for a replacement engine. 6.6L Duramax for a Chevy 2500. We talked with at 15 folks about getting an engine. Some were pulled out of their trucks after being in accident's or other strange things. A few of the remanufactured shops we contacted, had prices through the roof. Some of the prices for a used engine were down right scary. I told my dad, why pay for a used engine, that we have no idea of the history on. So we looked more at getting a remanufactured engine. A lot of the places had scary prices, that would make you not want to deal with them. Just by luck, I found MTZ on Craigslist. My dad liked the price, so we ordered a remanufactured engine and asked for it to be sent to Alabama. The engine arrived on time. We brought one of our friends from LA to help with the install, but he ran out of time before he is could finish. Dad and me tried to figure out how to finish hooking up the motor, but at some point it was above my echelon of repair skills. We decided to send it to the local dealership, figured they would be able to get it completed. The guy from the dealership got the truck hooked back up and started, but ran into some coolant leaking issues. He believed that it was a blown head gasket and could fix it, if I gave him my first born, left kidney and right testicle. Toooo much money for the job, so I took it to another shop to have them run a diagnosis and trouble shoot the issue. The new mechanic said the same thing, blown head gasket. It's been months and now to hear this is heartbreaking. Dad calls MTZ upset and ready to do legal work against them, they say bring us the motor. The motor had zero road miles on it, just start and running for a few minutes in the different shops. After the motor is pulled and loaded up, I head back to Houston to have it checked to see what happened and if it was damaged, or pick up a replacement. As soon as I get to the shop, they off load the motor and in front of me, remove both heads. Well come to find out, the head gaskets were still good. Come to find out, on the back of the motor, the back plates did not make a complete seal. Since it did not seal, water was leaking it the exhaust and the oil(wish I would have known that, before driving all the way back down to Houston). I gotta say, these guys went out of their way to work on a problem, they did not create. Speaking with the owner, he expressed how in this business. They can make mistakes and will honor anything they did wrong and try to fix it. But in my case, even though they didn't have to be cool about a problem they didn't create, they were down to troubleshoot and ensure, the product I'd be taking back to Alabama was good to go. I will be heading back to Alabama in the next few minutes, with a motor that was disassembled cleaned and reassembled with another new head gasket installed. I'm giving five Stars for the customer service part right now. But my truck should be running in the next week, and I will do an update. But from the warm and fuzzy feeling I'm getting from watching these guys work, I believe it will be just as good next week.

It was over 100 degrees out and we were sweating to death and desperate for help, but pretty much surrounded by rural land. My friend found Leon's Garage on her phone and we headed there. I wasnt sure I could make it with the heat. I explained our situation to the woman behind the desk. She immediately went into the garage and talked to the workers. They dropped everything and dealt with our car, explaining the problem and what they would do. We were out of there in less than 30 min, all fixed and back in business. And the cost was nominal! They were angels that appeared out of nowhere when we really needed them. We are so grateful for them and how they handled our emegency! And we learned a lot about this family owned place that has been in business since 1951! Highly recommend them.
