I went to 12-Volt Dave’s to have some work done on my new F-150. I read the reviews of his work prior to visiting his shop for a quote. I was concerned about a negative review written by an individual. The individual apparently was having an emotionally bad day when he visited 12-Volt Dave’s. Some people in this world cannot be pleased no matter how hard someone tries. I met Dave, the owner, and I was impressed with his knowledge, courtesy and pricing. The price quoted was an average price for work of this type but the quality of his work was outstanding, to say the least. The work I wanted done was straight forward work installing hidden power leads to my GPS and dash cam. His quote before the work was performed was $40.00 to $60.00 dollars, including tax. The amount of the bill was midway within the quoted amount. I know individuals who have been quoted low prices by a facility north of Allentown only to be told at time of installation the bill was going to be more than double the quoted amount. 12-Volt Dave was a man of his word with the quote, the actual price and the professional, factory look of the installation. I do not know what more a person could reasonably expect from Dave’s facility. Price was as quoted. Work was professional. And, the attitude of both Dave and his employees was exemplary. It would be my guess the person who wrote the negative review of Dave’s place is just a generally unhappy person who wanted something for nothing. I would, and will, go back to 12-Volt Dave’s for more work in the future. And, so you do not think I am a kid in his 20’s with little experience dealing with individuals, I am in my 60’s, work in Manhattan most days and I call things the way they are.

Shawn and Dave recently replaced the engine in my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. They did an outstanding job with a great warranty. Genuine concern for my need to get my vehicle up and running as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend the shop to anyone.

EXCELLENT SERVICE!! WORKS TO GIVE YOU THE BEST DEAL. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY

They built a transmission for my son't 96 firebird. They shipped the transmission to the shop in Evansville, Mike's transmission to be put in his car. The tranny didn't have 1st gear. They have pciked up the bad transmission they sent out but have not sent a new one and have told us they don't know if they will cover expense until they look at the first one they sent. My son's car has been sitting at Mike's transmission for 7 weeks. My son works hard for his money as he is a young man still in school. As a parent it is hard to see your son get ripped off. I have seen other reviews where they have fixed problems in a timely manner but this is not timely and they are not doing right by their customer. I am so frustrated! I feel like I let my son down. After all the great reviews I am stumpped at this. My husband is furious and is calling them again today to check and see what is going on. I will post results. In my opinion my son should get the expense of removing the bad tranny and a discount or even payment of putting the correctly built one in as a token of apology for the aggravation. I understand things can go wrong and I am not mad at the first tranny not being made right just at the way it is being so poorly handled. I guess they have so many customers they don't have to care about the little 16 year old boy working after school every day to get his dream car fixed up. Gina Hertel, Princeton, IN

My 1989 Jeep YJ ("Wrangler") developed a somewhat-common but often challenging to pin down problem called "Death Wobble," known well to Jeep folk, while on a long return trip from Upstate New York to Virginia. From I-81, I searched for a comprehensive shop that had some good reviews that could handle drivetrain and tires. Hats off to Randy, Brian, and the stellar mechanic whose name I didn't catch. I came in out of nowhere at 4:30 on a Monday afternoon and dropped this thing in their lap. While they weren't able to reweld the sway bar link, they were able to tighten up my track bar and get me the tire I needed that was a thumbtack away from exploding. Thing looked like the Hindenburg "before" picture. They were courteous and quick, professional and informed, and above all, did what they needed to do for the right price. I was very, very grateful for the expertise of the mechanic on duty, and Randy and Brian, if you read this, gold star for that guy. He knew his stuff and my ride home was awesome after the fix. The shop is easy to find, clean, substantive, and you can even see straight onto the shop floor from inside, giving you a clear, transparent view of what's going on with your vehicle. Tire selection was very good, prices were totally fair, and heck, free wifi to boot. I went a bit out of my way, bypassing a few "mom and pop" shops on the way, thinking, I've got a feeling about this place, and I'm glad I did. If you're in the need of a shop and you're anywhere nearby, it's worth the drive down 61 to patronize Jack Williams in Shamokin.

I have been a long time customer of this store, but after the way I was treated today, I will no longer frequent this establishment. A couple of days ago, I made a mistake and left garbage by their trash can to throw away. Today, I went down to get some usual things and was confronted in the store by the manager and was told in a very rude manner to take my trash home and throw it away. She did this loudly in front of the store and yelled at my husband and myself out in the parking lot. If this is the way they treat customers of over twenty years, then I want nothing of theirs. I was in the wrong, but she could have taken me aside and asked me to take my trash home. She didn't have to yell at me in front of the store, and out in the parking lot. I would never treat a customer that way. They are your bread and butter!

We purchased a 2003 Jeep liberty from this dealership… Since buying the vehicle less than two months ago, we have had to do over $5000 worth of repair to get the vehicle roadworthy. STAY AWAY!
