My baby Jeep is now healthy and back on the road! I took it to 249 when the rear axle went on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Allen is a pro. He quickly troubleshooted the issue and took the time to thoroughly explain how he was planning to rebuild it. It's all done and drives great. This is a father/son operation, and you can definitely tell that they care about their business and customers. Thank you!

We had our gears changed to increase our towing capabilities. Very professional and great work. I would definitely bring another vehicle. The service was a year ago or longer. Quality work. Allen is great! This is Diona's husband making the post. Thank you Allen!

Don't waste your time. Spoke to the owner about getting some work done on a pair of axles. I could only get out the model of the axles before he started to talk. In the end, his arrogance got the best of him. One of the first things he said to me was "I've been in business for fuc$$$$ 40 years!" Really? I could care less. I wasn't there to interview him, I simply wanted a quote or if he didn't want the work, just say so.

He never did ask what I wanted done. When he started to babble about transmission work (which I don't need), I left. I can't even imagine letting him working on anything. You're only asking for trouble if you go down that road.

Had an unusual noise in the driveline; thought it might be the transfer case. A few folks recommended 249Driveline to me, so I gave them a call and Allen was able to get my Jeep in quickly. Thankfully, the issue was relatively minor; and Allen was top-notch. I've never met anyone who knows drivetrains and gears as well as he does! Jeep was in and out in three days, cost was very fair, work done was top grade. Would be glad to give him more work, or to recommend family or friends should they need.

Allen is very good and knows his Jeeps. He even followed up with me after the job to make sure all was good and ensured I was satisfied with the new gears he put in my Jeep. Some say he is a little "rough" but he just tells it like it is. If you want someone to sugar coat everything, go somewhere else. If you want someone who believes in what they do and knows how to do it right, go see Allen at 249 Drivetrain.
