Update: 02/21/2025 I had to acquire another used vehicle to accommodate my family members. This one is a 2007 model year, purchased from the individual who originally purchased it as a new vehicle. Unfortunately due to the immediate need of our situation this vehicle was purchased with the "Check Engine" dash light on. I dropped it first thing at 8AM and by 5:30PM same day, we have a quality daily driver. The seller/original owner had apparently allowed mice to spend some time chewing wires so the diagnostic code was unreliable; the damaged wiring had to be replaced and another diagnostic afterwards. Fortunately, even though the technician spent almost 8 hours with the vehicle and the oxygen sensor was in fact bad, including one new low-beam and Full-Synthetic oil change, my bank account was only slightly smaller (Barebones was 47% less than one in person quote and online estimates were more.) On Monday Barebones will run the emissions test; will drive approx. 50 miles then can pass inspection. Given the below-market cost of these repairs this vehicle purchase remains a BARGAIN. The service & parts warranty they provide makes the investment a POSITIVE-CERTAIN outcome! Thanks to the Advisors and Tech's! Sincere and factual feedback/review. Since 2009 Barebones has done me RIGHT! I am UPDATING THIS ON 06/03/2024. Everything is equal or even improved since my original. I had to wait for another/more mechanic issues since Barebones had “her” running great for a long time. You will have the benefit of the BEST Auto Shop in all of N. Texas if you take your car, truck, diesel powered engines to BAREBONES. Below is the original review from years ago: This is the absolute best auto mechanic ever! I was referred to the owner, John, back when he was working out of a "rent-a-bay" in 2009. I had fallen on hard times financially and he did high quality work at extraordinarily affordable rates. His quality work spread by word of moth so quickly that within a few years he owns his own facility with 16+ bays, lifts, front-end alignment, diesel repair, tires and window tint services. All of his mechanics care about doing the job right and his Service Adviser, Stephen, id both gregarious and extremely knowledgeable. John and his staff have saved me literally thousands of dollars keeping my two older vehicles in reliable, quality running condition! You cannot find a mechanic of higher integrity. They will never sell you anything you don't need but will never fix something and leave it unfixed either. They give warranty on all their work/parts. Love these folks!
Lyn- You are indeed a valued customer and friend of our business. Thank you for your continued support.
