This place had good reviews. I'm 4 hours away and my daughters Alternator started going out. She's a freshman in college at SDSU as a nonresident and I was looking for a place I could trust. This alternator is a $180 part here in Omaha. I figured $150/hr for an hour of shop time to put the new one in. The owner calls me and we discussed pricing. He looked it up and told me $380 for the part. I said no. He kept looking and said he could get me one for $280. I thought a $100 markup was extreme on parts but I agreed as it was 4 hours away.

He does the work and gives me a bill for $525. I called him about the bill and he charged me $340 for the alternator, not the $280 agree upon and when I questioned it he said "It will cost you more than $100 to come up here and deal with it but you can do that if you want to." This guy just basically held me hostage do to my location and lied to me about the cost. The son Ron Jr. is the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. DO NOT GO HERE!!! This shop is a thief! I rarely post bad reviews but this guy is a crook. BEWARE!
