Do not use these guys
Check this out. 11 am yesterday I had my blue peterbilt brake down in suisun city,ca. 2014 peterbilt 386.. I called a mobile mechanic. North bay truck center. They arrived at 5 pm with young kid in a service truck..spent 10 min with laptop top told me '' there were codes for a turbo actuator'' and thats all. $425.00 bucks and he left my driver on side of the road...this am at 8 I called north bay and said what's the verdict...they said it needed a turbo actuator and it needed to be towed in to shop...tow was 1700.00. Turbo actuator was 1680.00 and labor was 520.00. I said I have a actuator in stock at my shop from peterbilt I paid 1100.00 for. Wtf???? Its 4 bolts and a 10 min program to put it on..they wanted $4200.00 with the tow to repair...I said $@!#% that...I sent my mechanic from fortuna 5 hr drive with my actuator and put it on...turns out. It was a $45.00 coolant temp sensor telling the ecm it was over heating at dead cold...changed the tuning to warning only from shutdown...truck fires right up and runs $@!#%..all over the phone with laptop configuration....a $45.00 part saved me $4000.00.....of course I have to pay my guys to go down there and save my truck driver..he's back on the road... A $45.00 part would of cost me 5k. The mobile mechanic was young in his 20's. Knew jack $@!#%. And was even on youtube with my driver Charles Hayden trying to diagnose it....my truck is up and running. north bay truck center!!!! My guys got it handled!!!
