Report
Iam glad I discovered this place. It's close to the home, a good place to do Landstar inspections; they are professional & thorough, courteous, ( especially the service desk),a nd friendly. Only concern is, while they have a posted notice that masks are required, none of the employees were wearing them except the Mechanic that did my inspection.

I purchased a fuel cap from this company's website. I was sent the wrong one. After contacting them I found that they don't have or even stock the one that I purchased. I paid $55 for the cap. They said they would locate one for me and told me it would be $190. I have purchased the cap from another company for a reasonable price. To return their cap I have to pay for shipping. I have had to call them a couple time because of email not being returned. Not very good customer service.

I travel the country and its hard to find a good mechanic. It's even harder to find a shop the specializes in car hauler repair. This is a good shop. Chrome polishing, truck wash, parts and lighting. Very comfortable waiting area and showers. I would recommend this shop to anyone.
