This is the place to go. Bill literally saved me hundreds of dollars and was honest throughout the entire process. If you’re having second thoughts about a shop near you, trust me these guys aren’t there to make a quick buck. Great experience

Thank you so much for the kind words, Matt! We appreciate your trust and high recommendation. :-)

Drive shaft separated because mechanic reused stretch bolts and didn't follow mfr torque specifications. Clutch repair appears to be holding up but reassembly of drive train was done with old bolts and an impact driver instead of with new fasteners and a torque wrench. One drive shaft separated outside NAPA warranty period while every drive shaft to transmission bolt on both shafts were loose. Hub/axle bolts were also well below mfr spec. Inspection missed that the inner cv casing was punctured in separation incident. Fwiw NAPA warranty DOES NOT COVER negligent reassembly of components not replaced in repair. Out cost of towing, replacement of drive shaft and hassle of having a disabled vehicle and repairing their mistakes myself. With lost work it would have been cheaper taking the car to the dealership for the repair. This is what can happen if your drive shaft separates and you are fortunate enough to stop before it destroys your suspension. Functionally the same as a torn boot only it leaks grease much slower and is almost impossible to detect buried deep in the engine compartment.
