Won't schedule warranty work. Very unprofessional shop. – Replaced gear set and bearings on my Camaro, $800 total. The work didn't take. After a few hundred miles the rear end is howling and dripping fluid. Work came with a warranty and now the shop won't see me. I tried coming up there and was told to come back in a week. They wouldn't even let me leave my car there. I had to drive home with the rear howling the whole way. A week later I called before I drove out and was told they're busy and was pushed back AGAIN. Good thi... read more

Think twice... – Went in to get new gears for my Jeep JK. The Good - The work was fast, (3.5 hours start to finish), less expensive than all other shops I checked out, ($850 vs $1600, worth the drive over from Austin), 2 year / 24k mile warranty. The Bad - carrier bolts were re-used and shortened with a grinder to make them fit instead of using new appropriate length bolts. A hammer was used to set the Crush Sleeve instead of the proper tool. Upon completion, lugnuts were only hand tightened. Coming back from a quick lunch/t... read more

Awesome Shop, Owner, and Workmanship – Go straight to 249 DRIVETRAIN SERVICE when you have problems with your differential, driveshaft, or wheel bearings. Go to the best and don't mess around with the rest. I'm very finicky when it comes to letting someone else work on my vehicles, but when I started hearing a roaring noise from the rear end of my truck, I knew I needed a specialist to take care of the problem. My research led me to three different shops, so I read all the reviews I could find and talked to previous customer... read more

EXPERT MECHANIC – I do most of the work on my own trucks, so when I dropped off a friend to leave his vehicle, I took time to look over the shop and talk to the owner. Allen is an expert in the field and does a lot of custom work. You can't get any better than that. I've never seen a cleaner shop, I examined the trucks that were already on the racks and in the process of having work done. I also looked at the bearings, rings and pinions that had been removed from other trucks and could see the damage on each part. I'm hooked... read more

Did a great job – I called several Ford dealers about a griding sound coming from the rear wheels of my Ford Explorer and they gave various quotes for all kinds of things. A friend recommended Allen at 249 Drivetrain and I can not thank them or Allen enough. Allen knew just what the problem was, he replaced the rear bearings and that fixed up the noise right away.

Best place around for custom rear end work – Allen was quick to identify the problem with my setup, and he recommended different gearing. Wow! Was he right... he was super friendly to deal with, and he did a fantastic job getting the gearing correct on my rock crawler, not to mention - he swapped out the drum brakes for disc brakes, too. Now I can move and stop perfectly! No more burning up clutches.
