I have been taking my vans to Jim and Dewey for over 10 years now. I like to buy used minivans to cart my big family all over Michigan and to Florida for vacations. I have had two vans with transmissions go bad and both were replaced by USA. Both vehicles transmissions lasted over 100,000 miles with no problems. A third van I thought had a bad transmission, turned out to be seals...half the price I was planning on paying.\r
This past repair I bought a used salvage vehicle from a guy off Craigslist. It started making a bad sound under the engine. I took it to my mechanic who I have used for 8 years, and he told me to scrap the van.\r
I took it to Dewey and turned out the flywheel went bad. I almost scrapped a $3200 vehicle (for $400) but instead got it back on the road for $750.\r
I am looking forward to putting 100,000 miles plus on this van now, we are already planning our next trip to Florida!
