    “Called because my truck wouldn't move with a horrible banging from my undercarriage. Carlos said he'd be there in about a half an hour. He showed up withing 39 mins and I was impressed with modesto traffic at 3:30pm. He asked me what was wrong with my truck and I said I don't know, listen. I put in reverse, backed up then pulled foward. Right away when he heard the horrible noise he told me it was my carrier barrings. I have no idea what that is so he put my front tires on his flatbed and lifted the truck and said let's take a look. He said yup and showed me that the central barring that holds the drive shaft in place was completely gone and shook my drive shaft as he explained and it made the same sound I heard when I decided to stop my truck. Said it should be an easy fix and part usually only 100.00. Now all he was there for was to tow my truck to my house but he went out of the way to tell me what the problem was and how to fix it, setting my mind and worry to ease. I got home went and picked up the part for 97.00 and im about to take my drive shaft apart and fix it. Carlos was very courteous and helpfull and went the extra mile to help me. I appreciate his service and if I ever need I will definitely call upon him again. I highly recommend.”

What this Modesto ranking is based on

Every company on this page is ranked on two published inputs: its Google review rating and the number of Google reviews behind that rating. Rating decides order first; review volume breaks ties, because a 5.0 average from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.8 average from 900.

We do not accept payment for placement, and no company can buy a higher rank in California. Companies may claim their profile and submit verification, which adds a verified marker but does not change ranking position. The complete calculation, including how we handle missing data, is published on our methodology page.

Ratings and review counts for Modesto, CA are refreshed as new Google review data is collected. When the underlying data changes, this page and its ranked order change with it.
