"Got me in and repaired relatively quickly considering the repairs I needed. Not the cheapest, but definitely quicker than I anticipated. Jose, my tech was informative and friendly. Heather at the front desk was very friendly and professional. I didn't catch the names of other people I spoke with, but I would highly recommend 7 sons truck and trailer repair to everyone!"

"Let me tell you about an employee that was a life saver! 4th of July weekend we broke down in Topeka. We had our tires rotated and they must not have tightened the lugnuts. 4 sheered off. We can't find anyone to help us until we contacted this place. Thank you Billy!! He not only came to us, he had the best attitude! He went above and beyond with his customer service! 5 Star guy!"
