My husband took it for me, but it didn't cost that much. He (the engineer) told me not to replace my transmission yet, but he said let me turn the light on and if it comes back on you know you have a problem, and the offer he made was 1000 dollars cheaper. I chose him because of what I read on your evaluation, and it was convenient for my husband to go by one day. Whatever he charged, it was not much.

Great establishment to do business with! These people problem solvers and are meticulous experts at car repair and performance applications. I am super picky about work done on my vehicles and as a result of my experience with them; I trust them completely to perform any service requested, to perfection!

Knowledgeable, friendly people that were willing to take back the plumbing part if it did not properly fit.

They were terrific! My son is a student at UAB, which makes them well suited to help him as they are very close. They dropped him off back at school and picked him up when the car was ready. They are very helpful, cooperative, reliable, honorable, and professional. The car has actually been to their shop, after the first time they repaired his car, it was okay for a while, but then it started making the noise again, and they looked at it again, and had to go much further with the repair to completely correct the problem. The second time was without charge, and they even provided a rental car without charge. They stand behind their work!!! Their pricing is reasonable, and they are very helpful! It is good to know that my son has a place to take his car while he is away at school. I recommend these people highly! Sorry it has taken me so long to post this review.The holidays kind of got in the way.
Description of Work: The provider serviced my son's car, replacing belts, and all sorts of other things, also changed the oil

It went great and the problems were actually repaired. The trucks have been running great since then and I will definitely use them for all my service needs. If you want it fixed and quot;rightand quot;, go to Hesco. They really know what they are doing.
Description of Work: Hesco serviced both of my work trucks for my landscape business. On our 2006 3500 Hd, they repaired a problem with the transmission module and performed regular service tasks with hoses, belts, filters, etc. On our 2003 2500 Hd, they performed regular service work; repaired my tailgate assembly and repaired muffler mount that had allegedly been repaired 2x by another mechanic.

It went well
Description of Work: Hesco has always done a great job ensuring the appropriate service work is done, never had a problem, been dealing with them for 15 years on both my regular cars or my one project car. They have replaced a transmission, performed normal service work, put on tires and done a thorough check every year or two since the Yukon XL is used for long trips.

I did my research and called around and got quotes from several different shops. I could tell from the first conversation that Jeff at Hesco knew his stuff and was a straight shooter. From my research, I know that they could have charged for other unnecessary repairs that I've learned other shops (dealers) routinely do in these cases. Jeff didn't do that at all. Luckily, I had caught the problem early enough to prevent it. Not only did Jeff offer the lowest price, he got the new harmonic balancer and fixed it in a couple hours when other shops wanted it overnight. He took the time to explain things and stayed late to make sure I got the car back that day. You can tell they work hard and stand by their work. They specialize in exotic cars and restorations, so this somewhat difficult job on a Ford Explorer was easy work for them and they gave me a very fair price and great service. Would highly recommend.
Description of Work: My drive belt came off of my explorer and after looking under the hood I saw that my harmonic balancer had failed.

I had a great experience. When I took my car, the driver took me to work with their shuttle service. When the car was finished, the shuttle came and picked up me from work. When I dropped off the car, they showed me the dust and grime and condition of my brakes. He explained the new brakes to me. They even offered to ride with me, so I could demonstrate the noise I was hearing. They also had the parts on site and were immediately available. They showed me the new product and explained why he chose the particular brakes. I have not had to go back for anymore work. The brakes are perfect.
Description of Work: Replaced the brakes on car.
