 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our radiator cracked on our Duramax last week, and having this truck in service is essential to our daily logistics for our team at Valley Sitework. Grumpy’s Garage had a new radiator on site within 2 hours. Fast service, fair prices, honest and friendly people! Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience for sure so happy that we were able to get in as fast as we did and got the job done quickly… We picked it up the next day and it seems to be running great. The office lady was so sweet and amazing not to mention great with communicating… The mechanic seems really nice and very honest about his work. Definitely hope to return if our car/truck needs fixed
