I was a loyal customer for 6 years until I needed a rear differential for my SUV. It took three replacements and the 3rd was the wrong gear ratio. Went to use my 4wd and blew my transfer case (so much for road testing). When I told them the transfer case was blown, John and Jeff said not so, told me the problem was my front axle so they replaced that; still didn't work, then they said it was the front drive shaft so they replaced that until finally I said enough crap shooting diagnosis. The transfer case blew because john and jeff installed the wrong rear differential. They new that was the initial problem but tried to cover it up by creating more work (and income). In short, John Davis is an incompetent owner who either hasn't a clue that his lead mechanic Jeff is screwing his customers, or he knows and is just as unscrupulous and as much a thief as Jeff is.\r

Previous to this incident, John told me I needed a new oil pan because the plug was stripped. He wouldn't replace just the plug because it wouldn't be reliable. OK, how much for a used oil pan John?--- ""about $600 for a USED one""!!\r

Got it for $250.00 plus installation cost of $75.00 elsewhere.\r

I have gone out of my way to not recommend John Davis Auto Repair and anyone who uses them needs to get their head out of their a....... as I did.\r

The only god thing is the man has a heart condition so maybe he'll throw in the towel.
