Ripped off for $1300 and my tr...

Ripped off for $1300 and my truck has been damaged …..



I made the big mistake of letting Skip’s replace my battery. I should have gone to the Ford dealer, but decided to use a local shop for a small repair.



They managed to add on tons of extra work – the starter, the radiator, the clutch, etc.



Every time I came back to pick up the truck, they either found something else to replace and then botched the repair. They ended up doing about $4K in total.



The starter didn’t start when I came to pick up the truck, so I had to have it replaced again. When they replaced the clutch, they forgot to attach the muffler. Then, they jammed in the bolt and wanted to drill it out at their shop, which would have resulted in severe engine damage. When they replaced the radiator, they jammed in the thermostat and it is now permanently broken and can’t be removed or replaced.



The last ripoff – three clutches within two years. The last time, it wasn’t even a clutch issue. They mis-diagnosed it, charged me $1300 and I finally got the real problem fixed at the Ford dealer. The warranty ripoff – it only covers the first repair, not the second replacement.



This is the short version of all of the troubles I had with them. The list is actually much longer.



The new management says that they swept out the previous crew of incompetents. The owner says that’s not true. Someone is not telling the truth.



There’s a lot more damage they did, but I don’t want to make the story too long. You get the general idea.



I’ve told my story to everyone in my community and then I find out no one else has anything good to say about them either (also should have checked here first). I should have asked around before I threw away a lot of money. And, I should have listened to my gut and go directly to the Ford dealer.



Bottom line: incompetence + lying = total ripoff



Don’t go there unless you want to throw money away.

I went in to get new tires and some affordable ones since I needed all four! I came out walking as a happy client I got tires under the price estimated to be spent. Now I have money to have some fun and pay more bills. They were friendly dudes. I liked my stay during service on my car! Thanks

I have used Skips several times now and have always had great service. Their prices are right around the norm, but the service can't be beat. Fast, efficient, and friendly every single time.

Had to come in to get a tire repaired...I was impressed by their customer service. Came back to get my car worked on over a year later...they called to give me the update (I love that)...The price to have the work done, was a considerable amount less than an estimate I got from somewhere else. Great piece of mind going here.

This is a truly honest mechanic which is really important to me. I have been taken advantage of by other repair shops but not here, they were very honest with me. They did excellent work and I will definitely use them again.

Skips the best and I have no problem recommending them. I recently came in for a few minor things, brake work, oil change and some new tires and they were very helpful. My car is running great and I will use Skips again in a heartbeat!

I know my car is in good hands at Skips Tire and Auto! I recently took my car in after I noticed my steering wheel was shaking a lot more than it should be. They were able to figure out the problem and fix it very quickly which was really appreciated. I love knowing that when I drive away my car will be running great!
