Few get the credit they deserve, and i need to share my gratitude for a shop that took amazing care of me.
“”During this years Damn Dam Run, we lost the ability to shift the drive out of forward, leaving me with a direct drive setup for 80% of the day, knew it was something hoped was a cable, checked it out when i got home and it was definitely the drive not cables””
So i called Kris at Flattop the day i pulled my caps and plugs and realized that it was the drive for sure. He said yea bring it down and I’ll get her apart and figure out what needs done, brought next morning and as i posted he said he’d get to it in a few days but he actually got to it that afternoon.
He gave me a run down if what the upper needed and i just gave him the go ahead, do what needs to be done and let me know.
The shift shaft was basically welded to the forward gear, the pinion and forward gear looked great, but showed that they were used etc. he suggested while apart to make some small changes so i went as he said. He replaced the pinion gear and flipped the forward and reverse gears, creating a new forward set essentially. He went through and replaced seals and bearings as needed and and had her all back together in a few days. Due to stuff on my end i didn’t pick it up till yesterday and when we went over the invoice it was everything he said.
I expected 7k minimum and was otd at 3700$ with everything done the right way no cheat no skimp. I’ve dealt with on tiny deals with Flattop as well spoke to him numerous times about god knows what, this was my first actual business with Chris and all i can say is thanks to that man and his other employee Matt. Talk about a simple easy absolutely NO bullshit ordeal, I’ll definitely be back as well recommending him to any and all. Here’s a few straight shooters in Havasu and he’s definitely one of them.
Thanks Flattop!
