I had just put a new rad in my F250 about a month ago. Had errands to do out of my town and while out walked out of a meeting to see a huge puddle under the truck. It was coolant. I filled her up with water and headed to the nearest shop. UNION BAY AUTO was the first shop I came across. I interrupted the fella working and told him the issue. He spent a half hour with me. He was very friendly and seemed eager to find the problem for me. I offered money for his time, he said no. My nerves were calmed cause I new the exact problem and was able to make it home and see my mechanic in the am. THANK YOU to the nice young man who dropped what he was working on to help me. Thanks so much😊

I took a truck into Union Bay auto for a pre purchase inspection in June. I was aware about possible frame issues with the Truck and asked them to take a close look at it.
Their inspection report mentioned nothing about the frame, so I asked the mechanic and he said he noticed some rust but it’s not an issue.
I took it to the Toyota dealership for a second opinion, where they told me the vehicle was unsafe to drive because the ‘frame is rotting out in multiple locations’. They pointed out holes in the frame, one about six inches in length, with cracks extending out from it (photos attached). In addition they found a half dozen other significant mechanical issues that Union Bay did not.
Had I listened to Union Bay’s advice I would have put mine and my family’s safety at risk. Not to mention, I would have significantly overpaid for an unsafe vehicle.

I had an older rv that no one in town new how to work on. Took it to these guys and they managed to diagnose the issue with ease. They were also super friendly and didn't charge an arm and a leg.
