Very professional mechanics and very respectful people. They truly take care of the drivers. The truckers’ lounge is comfortable, offering free soda, coffee, and snacks. The facility is clean, and the staff works quickly and efficiently. Everything went smoothly, and the experience was awesome. Thank you to the team for helping and showing great respect to truckers!

First and foremost, I want to say I don't think I've ever received better roadside service! Absolute Repair's Mechanic CODY gave an absolute great experience. We started off with a service call at a nearby rest area for an unidentified air leak. Cody arrived, said "Release the brakes so I can identify where the leak is coming from." He diagnosed that the leak came from a brake chamber on the passenger side drive axle. He instantly got to work and replaced it within 30-45 minutes; problem solved. While changing the chamber, he noticed streaks of oil coming from the driver side drive axle's wheel hub seal. I told him let's get that fixed too. He said "I don't have all my tools on me. Would you mind coming to our shop where all of my tools are and I'll get this replaced, as well, within 3 hours." Absolutely! We go up the road about 20-30 minutes and BAM! He's disassembling & getting to the seal, replaced it, and actually showed me a little of the process of putting it back together. Throughout the process, he's cleaning parts! Nothing was reassembled dirty! At the final stages, he bust out the torque wrench and get to torquing EVERYTHING to spec giving me that peace of mind! I also got a chance to check out a cool Harley at the end ?! 5 out of 5 stars! Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately, I’m not sure the techs here cared too much about me or my vehicle. We dropped over $2000 for a valve cover leak problem on my 6.5 turbo just to be made worse, and continue to leak. They were almost leading us to believe that the blow by on the engine was so bad that we couldn’t even put a catch can in. After we gave up with this shop and had it towed away (since it was less drivable than when we dropped it off), the next shop found a stray bolt sitting in the intake from the work that was done at Absolute Repair. Stuff like this should not happen. After getting it fixed at a new shop, the valve cover has not leaked once, and a catch can was installed and has had no issues. I’m just not sure that these folks did their best with my vehicle, and after spending 2 grand, I expected better.
