I’d give John and Mason a million stars if I could right now! These guys were very kind, very professional, and very fair. I dropped my Cummins diesel truck off of a wrecker at their shop yesterday and drove it home today. Their work was really clean and exactly right. I took this truck to another shop September 9, 2025 and spent nearly $3000 and it still wasn’t fixed properly. Dude at the other shop put in a new tipm and ecm (plug and play parts) and I had codes before I got 3 miles down the road. And that was 3 months later!!! Homeboy across town took a quarter of a year to replace plug n play parts and still left me with a bum alternator and cables which likely led to the tipm and ecm getting burned out to begin with…which means it was gonna happen again. The wrecker offloaded my truck at Big Boys and Mr Mason came out and immediately impressed me— this gentleman knows dodge/cummins diesels well and it was immediately clear to me as he looked under the hood and commented about what he was seeing. I like to play dumb a little with a new mechanic as a bit of a test. These guys passed with flying colors. Mason and John were very nice and very personable. And quick turnaround, too!! I’ll be taking my truck back to them from here on out (performance exhaust manifold is next). Thank you, John and Mason for treating me so nicely and doing such quality, clean work on my truck (I really care a lot about this truck). I look forward to our next meeting! Thank you, gents! I’m so grateful.

First off I’ll start by saying these guys came highly recommended from a good friend who’s never led me wrong so I had high expectations. I have a very simple issue that’s still yet to be addressed. I have a VERY small exhaust leak that needs patched and I need chrome tops welded on, simple 20 minute job at most. I call these guys and they’re like sure, nothing is in the rack, go ahead and bring it in and we can probably take care of u right now. So I’m very pleased at this point. I got there and the guy who does the welding looks at it and he says yea, that’s simple enough it won’t be a problem at all. So he asks John if the rack was free and all of a sudden it’s not free anymore. Now I don’t like to pull the race card but at this point I don’t know what else it could be. So I’m like ok, when could u get me in, this is a Monday morning, he says give me until Thursday. Thursday I call, then he says I’m slammed, I’ll get u in Friday morning. So i call Friday morning at 8 a.m. to see what time I should come, once again he rudely tells me how slammed he is and he can’t get me in until next Wednesday. Still calm I’m like ok, next Wednesday comes around and it’s the same thing, it’ll be next week before I can get u in. So at this point I’m kinda already realizing I’m never getting in so I’m just playing the game at this point. So now today is Friday, 3 weeks later I was told I could get in, I called a little while ago and guess what, it’s wait until after lunch and we’ll SEE IF we can get u in ?. So this time I ask questions and he’s like yea people are always cancelling blah blah blah, so I’m just like forget it, can u at least just sell me the exhaust tips and I’ll have someone else put them on? He says well I’ve got an exhaust job scheduled for 9, if they don’t use them u can buy them. My question is, I’ve been waiting for 3 week to get in so how did someone get an appt ahead of me??? Like I said, it’s 2025 and I don’t like to pull the race card but attitudes sure did change once they saw the color of my skin which is very sad to say.
