Place is ABSOLUTELY horrible. they refused to repair my vehicle the way it came there. Truck came back w gas tank issues and electrical issues when it never had this problems before. I wouldn’t recommend them to a dog🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm only giving 4 stars for now.I was quoted 975 dollars to change resinator by Ray Denison.AMT did it for 315 with no issues several months ago.I was referred by a friend who has had multiple things changed and highly recommend them.Was having issues with fuel going into crankcase.Ray Denison said 750 after they diagnosed it.AMT said 525 for high volume fuel pump.They did question it saying they don't usually go bad.Turned out that my pvc line was clogged.Saved me by replacing it myself for 30 bucks.So as far as people saying they rip you off and take advantage of you,that's not what I experienced.I mean Ray Denison told me I needed it changed and took it to AMT,because they saved me a ton on my resinator.They could have just changed it and charged me,but they did not.Im planning on having A arms,shocks and tie rods done soon and if it goes smoothly and decent price ill be giving 5 stars on my next review.

I felt that I was taken advantage of there! I was told that if you supply your oil and filter for an oil change that it cost $20.00. Not by them but one of their customers. I brought them my oil and filter and then was charged 61.60! That’s highway robbery! I was treated much better by this company’s prior owner. I cannot be a repeat customer at these prices.

Called and asked simple questions which the guy didn’t give me a name, so I can’t even tell you who lost business but good luck turning down business

I’m just gonna keep this review sweet and simple. Don’t take your vehicle here. Place is as shady as it gets especially if you have a wad of cash. they will work on illegal exhaust though.
*EDIT after seeing your response I feel it is necessary to say the truth about what really happened after seeing you lie about what happened.
I was out of town working in Kentucky. Originally I had my dad bring the truck to American motor trends to get several things replaced/worked on. when I had the truck brought there I went over with the receptionist multiple times what I wanted done to the truck and was very specific. After several weeks of you working on it with multiple people having their hands in it I knew there were going to be issues. YES I brought my own parts. Such as a steering gear box and pitman arm. The gear box was installed incorrectly by your guys and they destroyed the teeth on a brand new gear box. The teeth on the input side where the steering shaft connects to the gear box were also destroyed. I took the parts off in my driveway and we brought them into the shop so you could see it, You told me you’d get me a new steering gear box ( to replace the one you damaged which we agreed on when I brought it back into the shop) that you somehow got the lady at the parts store to warranty when I never even purchased it there. So in the end after all the headache I had to change all of the parts in my driveway which I should’ve done in the beginning. The only reason I brought it there at all was because I was out of town. Me bringing my own parts had nothing to do with the parts being installed incorrectly. Also-since you want to blatantly lie on a public page my truck DID NOT sit there for a month after it was completed and I even have a witness to that. I went there to the shop multiple days in a row waiting for my truck to be done but you guys misdiagnosed a door lock actuator that I still paid for and was waiting on that to be finished because that same day I had an appointment to get the rear window in the truck replaced at a different shop. The morning I picked up the truck you had JUST finished working on it that morning ! I paid around $2,400 in cash for sub par work to be done. I could’ve just left this as a simple review but since you’re going to make up things I felt the need to say the truth about what actually happened.

ALSO I’d like to make it very clear this shop will do exhaust work on vehicles that don’t have catalytic converters and they will do any illegal exhaust modifications as long as you pay in cash so there is no paper trail.
