Sit down kids, it's story time. I reached out to Eddie in early October with a laundry list of…read moremechanical issues I wanted to address with my truck I'd just purchased. I'd been dealing with shops who were trying to run up the bills and didn't care for their attitudes. My very first impression in dealing with Eddie, at this point I know was nothing short of heaven sent. I absolutely needed my truck to be fixed and up and running so that I could get to my very ill father. I set a budget and explained to him the situation. While I will keep our very near and dear conversation private, I will merely say this. The conversation we had made such a lasting and genuine impression on me that even to now, I cannot put into words. I dropped my truck off the very next day, gave him all the parts I had, and let him and his crew get to work. Eddie not only kept me updated on things he also was able to diagnose that the new gearbox I ordered was faulty, sent pictures and said he'd stand behind me if the company gave me any grief over it. In the meantime, he would order me a different one and just throw it in there so I could get going with no downtime. We finalized the bill; he sent it over and after putting the front end back together my power steering pump and hydro booster began leaking. You know what he did? He ate the cost and labor on those parts because he honored what his cost was when he sent the original bill. Think about that for a minute. The man ate the entire cost of two parts because he didn't want to change his quote due to no fault of his own. Ever heard of a mechanic doing that? I haven't, but it gets better. Grab the truck. Oops The alignment shop forgot to lock the steering wheel out when they aligned it and we were getting ready to head over and have them fix it. I noticed my AC was still blowing warm when it intermittently decides to go cold then hot. They'd already done an evac and recharge on it and it apparently decided it wasn't happy with it. Julian and Eddie start trying to trace and track for leaks with dye and didn't see any. Figured okay blend door actuator. The AC compressor on the spot grenaded itself on the spot Freon everywhere like we hit the G-spot singing Alice and Chains Nutshell on it's way out. All three of us stand there laughing saying wtf. So, I stand there thinking shit, gonna take a bit to get a compressor. Not 10 minutes later, here comes Orielly's with a brand new one, and Julian slaps ol girl in there with ease, recharged, and good to go. Colder than a witches tit in a brass bra now. By now, the alignment shop is closed so he asks me to swing back by Tuesday, no sweat. On my way I go. I get about 30 minutes down the road, felt a shudder, battery light pops and no power steering, "shit there goes the new belt". Yep, pulley on the new pump slipped and went for a walk like a blindman with no cane. The pulley is my fault, I tried to cut corners, and they put the original back on. Mind you at this time, Eddies shop is closed and he made his way to a family function. I sent a text just to let him know what was going on, not expecting anything. He immediately responds saying Julian on his way, sit tight. Julian, lemme tell you. This kid is as solid as they come. Just a solid person. Don't let his age fool you, kid knows his shit but stays humble. He made a call to Eddie told him what he needed and motion is set. Keep in mind Eddie is at a family function and ready to have a relaxing weekend. Julian starts parts to make room. An hour later, Eddie not only left his family function, he drove two hours roundtrip to get the pulley I needed from the only Orielly around who had it. He shows up, and they get it put back together. Know what they charged me for their time, roadside and Pulley? Nothing. This shop and the people who work here are some of the best human beings I've met. I'd trust them with a newborn baby with a soft spot on its head. If you read otherwise, those are just assholes looking for the world to do them a favor while being assholes. They usually drive Corvettes. Customer for life. Btw, we all agree my truck is cursed, so if you're in the market for a 2004.5 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a new front end, and pulleys, holla at ya boy.
