Great company! They made us parts the we needed to help get a new trailer built for our rafting company and made it happen in timely manner!

They were nice but i had spoken to someone very clearly about my payment situation and somehow i was misunderstood. I just hope that they learn to listen and understand what the customer is saying to avoid confusion and stress. Not sure of the work yet but ive heard good things so im sure its fine.

Rebuilt may differential on the wife's '04 Suburban. I was very pleased with the service and the price. This is about the 4th job I have taken them over the years and I am sure I will be back. Great shop!

Thankful to these guys for quickly diagnosing and fixing my Tundra, needed new front wheel bearings. This was the third shop I took my truck to, and apparently the only one that looked hard enough to find out what the problem was. (The Toyota dealership couldn't figure it out and ended up charging me for a bunch of other things that didn't fix the actual problem.) My truck is running smooth now thanks to Young's. Would recommend them to anyone else dealing with steering/suspension problems.

I dont know what makes my driveline special, but apparently its special enough that the fellas at youngs gear could not balance it. They tried 2 times, couldn't get it, and still charged me $250. I then took it over to 6 states distributors, paid them $250 and my driveline runs like melted butter. It cost me a smooth $500 to find out who knows their stuff. Mabe you can save yourself some $$$ with this knowlege.

Called a week ago about replacing the seals and bearings for the front differential on my trailblazer. I was told it would run 2000.00 for seals and bearings and worst case 2900 for major work. I brought my truck in today and was told it would be well over 2000. For seals and bearings and possibly over 3500. If it needed to be rebuilt. I asked how much to swap out mine for a rebuilt one and was told 2900.

Unless the receiving end was bad. And I wouldn't get an accurate estimate until they took it apart. Seriously!? NO THANK YOU. Why not just tell me to begin with that you have no idea how much it costs to rebuild a front differential or replace seals and bearings instead of having me take time off from school and rearrange my schedule for a week for this. * When I picked up my truck it was still engaged in 4WD. driven out of the shop on dry pavement and parked in 4High. This is not good for my 4WD system. Very frustrating.
