They performed a pressure test on the fuel line, checked other stuff with the engine and transmission. Had them install a new tank. Still having the issue. Just need to take it by the shop again and show them what is going on.

Not too good, charged me $1700. to replace with a used transmission that I know only cost $400. The car kept leaking transmission fluid after repair, had to take it back 5 times before he finally listened to me and replaced a seal. While he had it on the lift looking for the transmission leak, he said the only leak he saw was a rear main seal. But...he couldn't tell me about the seal leak while he had the transmission off and make that repair then.

Description of Work: Replaced fuel tank, cleaned fuel line & rebuilt the carb on my 1965 Ford Falcon. They did a great job and in the time that they said it would take. They stand by their work and will make any problems that you have with it right. They took real good care of my car, keeping it inside overnight. They called each day to let me know how it was going and anything that they needed to do that we hadn't talked about before proceeding with the work. They have respect for older vehicles. I would use them again & would recommend them to anyone who has an older vehicle they really care about that needs work. You can trust them to take care of it and do a good job.

It works great. I already had it pulled so the cost was lower. They repair all of my family's cars. The prices are fair and they are honest. Have been using them for about 8 years now.

Description of Work: replaced my transmission, had leak afterwards, had to take it back 4 times before corrected |I would like to rate higher, but the cost was way more than expected. And it took too long to figure out where the leak was

Description of Work: I had a brake job that only needed the front pads and rotors replaced on my '90 Aerostar. I knew they were shot from the noise they were making. They also took care of replacing my front suspension parts that were also worn out. |I was back on the road on the same day with confidence. |Great professional team!

Owners and staff are always courteous, prices reasonable, repairs are completed on time and the quality of work is high. These guys treat their customers right and stand behind their work.

I took my p/u truck to these guys when it was making a terrible noise under the hood. A mechanic came outside and diagnosed the problem in about 15 seconds...a blown water pump allowing the pump, fan and belt to move around and cause a lot of noise. They gave me a quote showing me the actual cost of the parts and the labor. I found a 10% off Angie's List coupon on their listing and they honored it. The staff was very cordial and extremely knowledgeable. Overall, a great experience. I have finally found a mechanic I can trust so I don't have to deal with the dealership!!
Description of Work: Diagnose and replace water pump and seals, thermostat, inspect serpentine belt, drain and replace radiator fluid and antifreeze, inspect fan bearing for wear.

Great. Car was towed to shop within the hour of me contacting them. 10 mins after received phone call that it was running fine and they wanted to diagnose overnight. Next morning, was contacted with the problem and the cost and gave ok to fix it. Car was ready that afternoon and we picked it up the following day due to our schedule.
Description of Work: Electrical- brake lights remained on even after car turned off. Drained the battery.

It was very simple, we were having problems get the truck into gear. We took it to the shop that does the oil changes to have them check it out. They found nothing wrong with it. It continued to give us shifting problems. We checked Angie's List and took the truck to them. They called us the next day with what the problem was and price to repair. Work was completed in two days.

I was actually going around checking prices, and they were one of the companies that I checked. I think I picked them because they were the closest to me. The estimate was free. I would consider contacting them again in the future.

Excellent service and professionalism. Shop does quality work, trustworthy and charge resonable prices. Repairs were done in a timely fashion and the owners appreciate their customers. After bad experiences with most shops in Warner Robins these guys have earned all my future business.

Description of Work: My Cadillac SRX had a timing problem, but they could not do the job because they were not set up for this type of service. This is unfortunate, since this leaves only one dealership in the Middle Georgia Area who performs this kind of work - another dealer in Macon. They did a good job, but it took several different mechanics to finally repair the problem (which took several months to complete). The other dealer was very good about providing me with transportation during the prolonged repair time.

had just gotten car back from transmission shop and was not running right and knew it was not a transmission problem. Took it to Kitchens and was told of the problem. He called and told me what was the problem before he did the work. He got the work done. He also told us that he repaired the sensors to keep from having to replace them. He told us that it would save us money.
