Agco Automotive. Best people. Just don't roll up in a lifted heavily modified ride. They will tell you to go elsewhere.


This is true. They are nice about it though. After telling me they don’t work on modified vehicles the owner still talked with me about my issues for 30 min and gave me a couple of likely causes.

Generally mechanics dislike working on stuff modified from factory. A way to think about it is that with a factory vehicle, you have gained experience and something of a roadmap with service data. Once you go in there modifying something, you create a whole new roadmap that the tech is not familiar with.

Mechanic shops make money by fixing stuff ASAP. Not spending 4 hrs tracking down some Scotchlok from a remote start kit that has corroded from getting wet and is causing an issue with some unrelated computer.

"here is your $600 bill"

customer: "??? wow, what the hell was wrong?"

"we fixed a wire"

customer: YOU POS RIPOFF THEIVES COCKSUCKERS!
