Bucky's Lakewood

Super smart and very knowledgeable, they know the exhaust trade. Someone stole the catalytic converter off my 7.3 Powerstroke and they helped me figure out I didn't even need it. Lol

I was recently in need of an emergency purchase of a new vehicle, and wanted to do things right and get a pre purchase inspection before purchasing a used vehicle. I had already been looking at cars all day, and in the afternoon found one that seemed like a viable option, but I wanted to be sure.

No other mechanics in the area had openings that afternoon or took drive ins, so I was relieved to hear that they have drive in PPI’s.

The mechanics were super knowledgeable about the local used car dealerships and were able to give me some pointers. They were also able to quickly find that the car I was looking at had some transmission issues that the dealership was trying to cover up, and kindly advised me against the purchase.

I’m really thankful that they found the issue and saved me from purchasing a car with transmission issues that could cost $3k-$4k to repair.

The only downside is that the PPI cost $140 before tax and after being in a bad car situation, I definitely felt that financially.
