Just a heads up:

I bought a new-to-me F250 a few weeks ago. Before I bought it, I brought it to coy for a $100 pre-purchase inspection. They told me all was good, so I picked the truck back up and bought it. When I picked it up, Coy tried to sell me on the $5500 bulletproofing (it's a 6.0). I was planning on doing it. Today I was changing the oil for the first time. In doing so, I found a Sinister EGR delete kit had already been installed. Not only did Coy not tell me this was already on the truck, he tried to sell it to me. Shitty. So it means either the truck was never inspected, or worse, they were just hoping I was stupid. Won't give them another dollar, EVER.

I have heard the same thing, unfortunately. Coy himself is a good guy and great mechanic but once he got big, the work went to shite.

I remember hearing good things about that place several years ago, then seemingly overnight nothing but negative reviews and stories alot like that.

He's gotten some pretty bad rap on this board especially. Shitty motors, shitty mechanics

The guy that first told me about Coy's shop going to shite gave me a name of another company. He has never used them but another client of his is a regular for several trucks and speaks highly of them.

Industry Solutions

Has anybody used them? I really dont think I want to do the EGR delete myself.

I'd have to definitely let him know that for a diesel mechanic he's pretty stupid for not noticing the delete kit that was already on there.

And maybe it's not him. Chances are he didn't even look at your truck, but that's not the point.

I'll have u know I take pride in my business and if we made a mistake and didn't let u know that u had a Egr delete than that's fine but to say we charged u for something that we didn't do it that sir is slander,the purpose of the inspection is to let u know that the truck is in good working order.next thing is had u came to have the truck bulletproofed we would have never charged u for a Egr delete if u already have one just not how I do business and the estimate given is a job I have done thousands of time so it's a pre made job in our system so if our tech didn't make the service writer aware how would he even know?

And I assure u get was a mistake and my techs are all ford veterans so I'm unsure what the other guys in the post rants where about but it makes me angry because we take care of our customers and take pride in all our work!
