My 2000 GMC 1500 SLT 2WD with 147K original miles had developed a popping sound in the frt left side while I was visiting in Tucson, and being a bit of a motorhead from years past, I had a good idea as to what it was. I took it into a well known national chain garage to do an inspection, not only did they charge me $20 to do the inspection, they quoted me well over $2300 to complete the work. Then I did a little web search and found Covenant Automotive which is backed by NAPA so I called made an appt. I took it in as scheduled and they got right on it, doing the inspection and working up a quote, that is when Mark told me that he would quote the job in the most economical manner, which meant replacing the entire upper arm rather than replacing the bushings and the ball joint separately on both sides, as well as the tie rods on both sides. He quoted me $1017 and change which also included an alignment. They took me back to the RV Park where I was staying and finish!
ed the work as promised, on time and on budget!
I have driven the truck now for a few weeks, took a 500 mile road trip and I am completely satisfied with the quality level of their work. Mark and his team are not just mechanics, they are motorheads themselves and it is in their blood, they will work on your car or truck as if it was their own and they take great pride in their commitment to their customers
My thanks to the team at Covenant Automotive, and Happy New Year!
