Report
I had a check engine light go off on my 2018 Ram 1500. I was sick of feeling used by the dealerships so I googled local mechanics and they came up with an incredible rating. Boy did they live up to it. I dropped it off over night and they came back the next day with a full diagnostic, they actually suggested that I bring it to the dealership because what they found could be covered under warranty.
So instead of lying to me and getting a potentially lucrative job in the multiple thousands of dollars, they only got $55 for the 30 minutes they spent. When the dealership recommended that it get towed they gave me a recommendation to Double D towing. They were quick and efficient. Liz who answered my calls every time was extremely knowledgeable about my truck and the impact of what was going on. I am going to bring every vehicle to them in the future because I can TRUST them and you should too.
