My truck has a gas leak that is getting worse quickly, and i may be about to sell my DD (perfect timing heh). CAn anybody make a recommendation for a good repair shop in or around Colonie? I need it done quick and cant really take the time to mess with it myself. I’m guessing i should avoid the usual rule of thumb and avoid the stealership? TIA ---

Dealerships aren’t the low cost service provider they are generally the most expensive, but the OEM parts are higher quality and the work generally comes with a good warranty. Also we do very good multipoint inspection so customers can make a good informed choice about how to repair a vehicle. What kind of truck? ---

Sorry to say but that’s a pricey unit on those trucks. ---
