yea i went there for an estimate on installing my header. they were gonna charge me for a new exhaust manifold gasket, and another gasket after the secondary pipe plus 3 hours of labor, coming to the total of $275.00 which is 25 less than my header actually costed me. then they tryed to con me into get a full exhaust system saying my header would be a total waste with a stock exhaust system. which is 50% bullshit.

Me: "My low mileage perfect condition truck with an engine that has never overheated and runs perfectly, somehow got the muffler so hot, so hot it melted the steel? The steel would have to be so red-hot wouldn't it melt the rest of the exhaust and the expecially the rubber hangers?"
Them: (picking nose) "Yea, I should be charging you this time and I shouldn't even touch the truck until my buddy works on it "
Never again.

One custom CL
It all depends on the owner. If i needed things to get welded I would go to them. For brakes, headers or anything else I wouldnt trust them for shit. Especially down by where I am.
