Never use this mechanic. He not only took our money up front for parts, he came to our location took our engine apart claiming he found nothing else that needed work other than the original repair, and a air cleaner and belt, and then claimed he had not ordered all the parts like he originally said he would, he wanted the rest of the payment so he could get additional parts (that had already been paid for by us but not ordered by him). It then took two weeks for him to schedule to come back canceling several times, when he finally did come out he stayed for less than five minutes and then said he had to leave and would be back the next day. (by this time I had already turned over $1500 for parts and labor and had my truck torn down for three weeks) Instead of being back the next day he text and said he forgot he had an appointment yet again reschedueled and asked for gas money to be able to come out again. He then came out worked for a day leaving with the truck still not fixed. Again after leaving later that night he text saying he wanted to be fair and not charge me for gas but had to charge for an additional 3 hours at $65 hour. When he came out again he finally put the truck back together climbing in and out of it with grease and dirt all over him (now on my seats). When it did finally start oil was pouring out of my turbo charger (which was fine before all this started) and he wants more money to work on it more. End of storying I am out $1500 have a truck that runs worse now than it did before, we did not receive any of the fluid flushed he had on the original estimate, the truck is covered in greasy fingerprints, the hood latch is broken and I still don't have a running truck and have to figure out what to do. (original issue was a bad egr cooler)

Adrienne, let us tell the storyline and facts about this experience before you smeer our reputation. First off: You did not pay cash but rather did trade. We applied the trade value of $400 to the amount of labor needed to be done. Although this was not even close to the amount needed for the job, ($700+). The Honest Mechanic of Montana, LLC also gave you an extra 8-12 hours FREE of service due to “tough” financial situation you kept referring to. Also, the owner spent money out of his pocket and gifted you several free parts as well as services. We also traveled 1 1/2 hours to work on your vehicle, much out of service area to help you out. Second off, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, at the beginning of the transaction we recommended a diagnosis which you refused. You then asked us to fix their EGR cooler and we did. Upon further inspection we found out the turbo was blown. When the owner/opertator calmly explained this to you, Adrienne, you and your “partner”verbally and physically attacked him while working at Camp Make a Dream, a camp for cancer patients. Upon finding out the further damage that was present in the vehicle, Adrienne then physically assaulted the owner and we are filing an assault charge against them. Unforunately, these poor customers never had money from the beginning and took advantage of our kindness. We sent them a quote and in fine print it is listed we are not responsible for further damages if a diagnosis is refused. If any customer refuses a diagnosis they are unfortunately liable themselves, not the business. Lastly, for a source of credibility, this customer lied about being a veteran to receive further discounts. Keeping true on their word if we didnt give them cash, now they are trashing our name on the internet. We stand up to bullies and we wont allow people who are trying to con our business for money to slander our name. NO ADDITIONAL MONEY WAS RECEIVED OTHER THAN PARTS AND TRADE FOR LABOR, THE HONEST MECHANIC OF MONTANA LLC ASKED FOR THREE HOURS OF COMPENSATION IN EXCHANGE FOR 2 ADDITIONAL DAYS OF WORK REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE JOB. You folks are truly sad. You took advantage of a hard working, veteran who against his better judgment, tried to help you out as much as possible...

Affordable auto repair. Local company that is veteran owned and operated. The prices are up to 60% cheaper than dealerships or other shops without the hassle of sketchy “sales quotas”. Guaranteed to save you money and time. Nice that the traveling fee is included in hourly rate to make service much more convenient and affordable! Highly recommended to call for a fair, honest quote.
