Gil and Max at Dauntless are my heroes!! I have a 98 Maxima that was acting up intermittently and took it to a shop that informed me the transmission was bad and recommended Dauntless to do the work. When I took it to Dauntless, Gil drove it to diagnose the problem and said he didn't believe it was the transmission. He wasn't feeling the extent of the problem I had felt and asked if he could keep the car a bit to get to the heart of the problem. I was fortunate enough to be able to leave the car with him and am soooooo glad I did.
One by one, Gil worked his way through the possible causes of the problem and everytime he thought it was fixed, sure enough, it would act up again. He never gave up on my car and although I know he got discouraged at times, he diligently pursued fixing it. He was always available to talk with me when I called and gave detailed updates on what he'd been doing. He was very conscientious about costs and never spent my money without discussing it with me first. He attacked the problem methodically and was tenacious in his drive to fix the car. In the end, he did just that. It's running GREAT!
The bill was more than fair considering all the time he spent on the car. But mostly, I appreciate Gil's integrity. I know he could have replaced the transmission and collected a couple of thousand dollars (and the problem still would have been there when he was done) but he he was way too honest for that. I would recommend Dauntless (and have already) to anyone who needs car work. You can trust them and know you will be treated fairly. They truely are the BEST!
