Getting my repeat business means giving the utmost in customer service, and having genuine gratitude for my business. The folks at Hay Tire Pros, Moncks Corner, exceeded expectations!! Fast, friendly, genuine folks here!! Highly recommend!! (Be sure to take in a doggie treat for Calhoun, the resident golden retriever. He would love it, but do take your hat off first, as he doesn't care for hats much)!! Pam S. Bonneau, SC

Rick discovered that there were a couple of lifters that had came apart and needed to be replaced and I agreed I wanted them to fully inspect and make sure everything was good.

Then on 14Jun10 I called Ricks Auto to find out what was going on and he said that the motor was to tight, so I went up there to find out what was going on and we determined that the motor was seizing up.

So I ordered everything (total= $ 403.36). Then on 23Jun10 Ricks Auto told me I needed to pay the Machine shop bill $ 220.00. On 24Jun10 Ricks Auto said that the Crank would not spin freely in the engine so they was going to take it back to the machine shop.
