I'm not sure what's happening at Peterson's but it's a complete Trainwreck! They had my Sprinter van for over 5 months! Put $8,000 into it! Gave it back to me with the ignition switch falling out of the dash where someone either tried to steal it or they removed it and forgot to put it back in. Has the exact same code that went in with and now look at what they did to my exhaust system after they replace my particulate filter!
Never ever ever again they just need to go out of business. I think they're having severe family problems his wife is going to prison for 12 years for killing somebody in a drunk driving accident! Now it's bleeding over into his work. I requested a call back from the service manager which of course never happened. These guys are Beyond hacks! I can't believe that they're still in business?

They have the parts you need, when you need them! Very knowledgeable staff, one of the best parts departments I've dealt with out of any manufacturer. The service side is also great. Prices are reasonable and turnaround time is quick. Highly recommend this facility.

This would probably sound unfair, but I always come here great and quick service but today I got to the counter asked for a part, they got my last 8 of the VIN and the gentleman got a call drop the pan and start talking on the phone looking at the computer for 10 min, when I asked if he has it he look at me and point in the phone, I asked if I can please get help and first thing he says is "I have a customer with an attitude" I asked to talk to the manager and he wouldn't call it, he point to go inside the building, I look for someone and I got the part in 3 min, paid and leave!
This is a professional working place, you can't play with people time just because! I would understand a line or complications but I was all alone in the place and he just have to say wait and don't just let me standing right there.
