Our daughter was out of town when her truck was injured. Usually i would fix it myself, but would have had to drive 4 hours. Reasonable price to get her home. Thank you for saving me a trip! And to the review below me (Josh) do you have a lab that checked the oil viscosity to determine it was correct? ?

My elderly father was visiting from out of town and his car AC went out and came to Spikes for freon. My father asked for help with purchasing the correct one and help installing it. The freon alone was $50, for installation the total would have been $195. My father declined the installation. After getting home we tried to do the freon ourselves however it was the wrong kind or size? So my father went down to O'Reilly auto parts and they helped him purchase the right kind and installed it for him for a total of $48. It is very unfortunate when we try to support our local stores when the competition is so much easier to work with.

Do not use this mechanic shop! This is the most incompetent mechanic I have ever encountered in my life. I’ve taken my vehicle to them for two things and they were incompetent with handling both. The first was a brake job. They only did half the brakes and didn’t tell me. When the brakes kept squeaking and I took it back, they told me they needed to do the other end of the vehicle. I have never heard of a mechanic diagnosing and only doing half of a brake job when all four brakes needed to be changed! The most recent encounter was for a check engine light. They tried to suggest that the Kwik Kar put the wrong oil in the truck a week before and wanted to charge me to do a whole new oil change again on brand new oil. When I called Kwik Kar they confirmed that they did put the correct oil in the truck, which is also on the windshield sticker. Their response was well I guess there’s just nothing more to do. When I pushed back and said, “That’s not acceptable I brought the vehicle to a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem”, the response was, “Well it might be the oil pump and that’s gonna cost $1500.” I got charged $100 and cursed out. Don’t take your car to these people, go somewhere else with some competent mechanics. I will be taking my truck to my mechanic I trust in Granbury.
