After being told that he was going to charge me "150-$175 to do this seemingly minor job to hook up FOUR wires on my truck I set up an appointment 4 days in advance and went there. The day took my truck to him I took the time to solder longer leads onto the short Tekonsha harness, because the directions clearly stated to use 12 gauge wires for it and to "HOOK UP THE BLACK AND WHITE WIRES DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY", and I didn't want any crappy "crimp-on" terminals used on my truck. No joke - after screwing around for over two HOURS under the dash I asked him if he had run the wires through the firewall yet and ye told me he "found a place under the dash to hook them up"!!!! UNDER THE DASH - A 30 AMP CIRCUIT?? So then he set out to run the ONE blue wire to that back of the truck and after (seriously) ANOTHER 2 hours and over 30 minutes he finally got done with the 90 minute job. Regretfully this new controller didn't fix the problem with my trailer's brakes and I do NOT hold him responsible for that, BUT now I have to take it to yet ANOTHER shop to fix his moron employee's screw up of hooking up a 30 amp circuit under my truck's dash, so I'll have a total of $300 into this 4-wire wiring job!!!!!

Took it in and mechanic said needed new struts and bushing. Ok, bought it cause guy dropped it down $500 - basically the cost of the repair. So as I am driving home with the car it starts making a weird whining sound. I call a guy and take it in immediately - he says it is the power steering - they over filled the reserve, which means something is wrong with the power steering - says it will cost at least $150 to fix. I call S&S and he acts like he has no idea what I am talking about, when I say power steering was overfilled again he has no idea and claims he didn't do it. Not true! Refusing to do anything. He knew we were buying with income tax money and we have 6 small children. He sold a death trap. NEVER BUY FROM THIS GUY - WILL RIP YOU OFF ANYWAY HE CAN! had to give 1 star or wouldn't let me post.
