They absolutely suck. My 90’s jeep had crank no start. I was 2 hours away from home. Im mechanically inclined but no tools. I checked for spark which is easy. I checked for fuel pressure also and had both. I figured the injectors were not firing because of a bad crankshaft position sensor. Dribbled a little gas in the throttle body and fired up for a couple seconds confirming my suspicions. I clearly stated I did not want a diagnosis, just a crankshaft sensor replaced. Told the tow truck driver while recording them picking it up and then called and made it clear because im not paying $80-160 for something I already diagnosed. They call two days later and tell me they diagnosed it as a dead fuel pump, clogged catalytic converter and bad crankshaft sensor. They wanted a whopping $1,100 for diagnosis and to do the work. Told them to hold off and went there. My jeep was in the front of the building. I immediately went and spent $130 on tools and a sensor. Slipped in right at 6 when they had closed and left. In about 20 minutes I had swapped the sensor, grabbed the hide-a-key and left. Costed me a key but I wasn’t getting robbed just because I was from out of state

DO NOT USE UNLESS AS A LAST RESORT. was called for a tow by the police. Beckman's towing was about 1-2 hours out which would have been my choice but giving the situation was not an option the old guy who was sent out was highly unprofessional and did not know his job could not tow my car straight back and was towing it over a tree stump and would have dragged it across the whole underside if not stopped by bystanders and told to remove remove the sump. still caused damaged to the underside my car.

We were stranded in the middle of nowhere, IA hours from home. It was at closing time and Tristan turned a disaster into just an inconvenience. His calmness and assurance were extremely helpful. He got us and the car to a repair shop (many miles away) that was open and identified the problem. The matter was fixed and we were able to get to the airport in time for our flight.
