3rd time I had my car in for repairs. 1st time I took it in because my check engine light was on. Found a leak and antifreeze was dripping out. 2nd time car overheated and had to be towed to Brauneckers. Found nothing wrong, only explanation air bubble from first time repair. 3rd time , no heat. Took it in and this time water pump.

I worked with Brian back in May. Was able to get to the dealership on June 12. They had the truck ready for me when I got there. While I took it for a test drive they checked my trade in out and had the offer ready. When Brian went to put fuel in my truck, I met the owner. Everyone was friendly. Brian took the time to show me all the features on the truck. He made sure all the software was setup.
