Auto repair service near Stevensville, MT

I had been a customer of Big Sky Auto for the past 4 yrs and even though I had my suspicions it was finally confirmed to me just how shady a business owner this really is. I had bought 2 different vehicles from Steve and thought I was not only getting a good deal but that I would have someone looking after my investment and future life of my vehicles. As of this week I had a rude awakening when I took my Jeep into Big Sky Auto to only find out what a particular noise was. I made it clear on dropping my Jeep off that I ONLY wanted to know what it was and that I did not have the money to fix my Jeep at this point in time. I was told I would get a phone call when there was knowledge of what the issue(s) was. I was given a loaner car (which I didn't ask for and didn't need) and during the course of the weekend decided to buy a new car from a dealer. I still had NOT received a phone call by the end of the following Tuesday and when I dropped of the loaner car (which had only been sitting at my house since Saturday) at Big Sky Auto I received a surprised look that I was not only there but didn't need the loaner car. Steve then proceeds to tell me that he FIXED my Jeep without me knowing what the problem was or my consent to fix it. I had NO say so on what the issue was or if I wanted to fix it. He proceeds to show me parts he seemingly replaced telling me it was rod bearings in my engine! So he ripped apart my engine and replaced rod bearings and put everything back together and said its running in 4 days time when he was closed on Sunday. He also said there was more to do on the Jeep. I not only told him I never authorized any such repair and I couldn't afford these repairs. This isn't the first time he has "fixed" my jeep and charged me huge chunks of money for the repair and giving me the all noble "I can't let you drive this around because its unsafe bit". To a mother with children, that is a scary statement! So, I paid the money that could have gone for other things. NOW I am dealing with this again! I went and picked up my Jeep last night and low and behold the SAME noise I took it in for was still there. He lied to me and NEVER did a gosh darn thing to it. I do know that to replace rod bearings you need to redo the entire engine and that can take a month! Not to mention doing diagnostic tests to see how bad the damage is. If I can stop ONE female or any single mother from buying or having "repairs" done to their vehicles by this shady business owner then I am willing to give testimony to how I have been ripped off!!!!!!!! Steve gets cars at auctions that real dealerships pawn off because they are such a mess they wont even touch them. So, Steve buys them and fixes them just enough to run so that he can get them back in his shop to keep making money off of them! Do NOT buy into his noble, I am doing you a favor act!!!!!! And that he is LOOKING OUT for you! He is only looking out for himself and will stoop so low as to lie to your face! Through all of this, I NEVER got an I am sorry I overstepped my bounds in fixing your Jeep without your permission. I know for a fact I would have NEVER been treated this way if I were a man!!!!!!! So, ladies..........please DO NOT do business with this owner. You will be in for a whole world of hurt and an empty wallet and a half assed vehicle if you do!!!!!!!!

Dave's Transmission Exchange is The Best place to service (or repair) our 06' 3500 GMC diesel truck!!! These guys are super nice, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and they make you feel like you're their Best customer!! After 3 years traveling and experiencing the Western parts of Montana (having had service done in Kalispell, Bozeman & Missoula) we can honestly say Dave's Transmission Exchange in Hamilton is the Best in the West!! We had our truck serviced by Josh and we couldn't be happier with the work, professionalism and knowledge he exuded. The price was way less than we thought too!! "Icing on the cake!" Dave's Transmission Exchange is our new Go To place for all our vehicles maintenance and repairs...and more!!

fast and affordable. cost was 1/4 of what the dealership wanted to charge to removed and replace broken window on Polaris Ranger. Skalkaho Glass came TO MY HOUSE and did the job in a matter of minutes. It's been 1 year of rough gravel roads and off highway use, and the window is still solid and leak free. Have had other work done by this company and have always been very happy with workmanship and prices... WD

Master Tech has been servicing my 1997 Toyota Camry since I purchased it in 2000. There isn't a better service center available and I highly recommend Jake and his team to care for your toyota vehicles too. The service, customer care, commitment to excellence and quality of work can not be surpassed.

Wonderful work, the paint matched perfectly. The service was great and it only took a coupl of days

I feel that time was taken to do the inspection; however, the estimate and amount of work suggested far exceeded a previous inspection from another inspection that was done. The first inspection's total cost was $1778 versus Transolution's $4,300 plus. While Transolution revised the work needed to an estimate of $3,000 plus, the cost was too exorbitant for me. Shortly after getting the vehicle home, I drove it and the brakes went out on me near Les Schwab on Broadway. So, I had them inspect the brakes, which were noted on Transloution's estimate of needing repair to the tune of $700 plus, and all that needed repairing was a leaky valve for $112. I feel that I was being duped by Transolution into thinking this and that needed to be repaired. I will not be using them now or in the future.

I came in on Friday, for tires, courteous enough sales person, well informed about the tires on stock, had free rotations, and free flat repair BUT, NOT OPEN ON SATURDAY, so I went to Les Schwab, They have all of the above, and are open on Saturday, some people only have Saturdays to have tires repaired, or buy.

I took my Audi A4 into these guys after it broke down on my way to work when we were having a really bad cold spell. I was thinking that one of my pumps or my battery was going out because the car was giving me an oil level error before it shut down. When I talked to these guys the next day after having it towed to them, they treated me like and idiot when I told them what I thought was wrong. The next day, they were telling me that my exhaust valve was bent and quoted me 6,000 to replace it??? But, they hadn't found the reason for my oil level light coming on yet? I asked if the timing belt was ok and they said it was fine, so I couldn't understand how I could have bent a valve. Also 6000 to replace one valve and change a timing belt at the same time seemed outrageous to me. I didn't have a good feeling about this situation so I had these guys stop working on my car and had AAA tow my car to Bozeman Audi. My car ended up having a fuel pump that went out and a damaged cam shaft which only ended up costing me 1,900 to get fix saving me over 4,000 in un-needed repairs. Do not take your Audi to these people they have no idea what they are doing, grossly over charge for there work, and are completely dishonest! I will never let them touch my car again!

This place is over priced and they do a really poor job. An employee admitted to me that they rushed my car through and that is why there was still wax on the exterior, the upholstery was not cleaned, and spots were not buffed out. I had to clean the upholstery myself and buff out the spots that needed it. So on top of paying 200 dollars I had to buy more products to finish the job they did not. DON'T GO THERE! They are terrible

I needed my brakes fixed because someone put them on wrong and they were loose and they said $500 to fix them, which is way too much but I just wanted it fixed right so I did it anyways. When I got the car back the brakes still were having the same exact problem and they didn't even check them I find out. Now they squeak also and they didn't even bleed the brakes right. So wasted $500 and has same exact problem and also now squeaks and don't work and have to pump them and they go to the floor. Don't go here unless you have tons of money to waste and don't want your vehicle fixed correctly!!! Had to go somewhere else and they fixed them easily.

This business is now in Stevensville (same phone number) and named "M&M Auto&Welding Trailer Sales"; his demeanor is still as poor, and for some one who claims "I've been in business 26 years, and I know what I'm doing", he couldn't even fix a simple wiring harness on my "throw away trailer" (his words ~ who says this to a customer bringing money?!). He said he could fix it, even volunteered to do more than I asked, and I was okay with that, and a month later he hadn't even touched the trailer. He told me he wouldn't work on it and to come get it. He cussed me out and told me to take my business elsewhere.
