We Take Work From Anywhere in the Country
Yes, we take out-of-state vehicles. Trucks, SUVs, Jeeps and cars come to our shop in Argyle, Texas from all over the country, get built, and go home. If the shop near you cannot do the work, or will not do it the way you want it done, distance does not have to be the thing that stops you.
Here is the honest version of how this works. You arrange the transport. We are not a broker — we do not book carriers, we do not quote shipping and we do not take a cut of it. You pick the carrier, you pay them, and you keep control of the cost and the insurance while your truck is on the road. If you want a name, we will hand you the one our customers have used and take nothing for it.
What we own is everything from the moment your truck comes off the trailer to the moment it goes back on. That part we do properly, and we document it so you can watch it happen from a thousand miles away.
One thing worth saying plainly: shipping only makes sense on a build big enough to justify it. Nobody should put a truck on a trailer for a leveling kit they can get installed at home. Call us first and we will tell you honestly whether your build is worth the freight before you spend a dollar on it.
Nothing goes on a trailer until we have talked about the truck and what you want done, and you have a written quote in hand. We would rather tell you on the phone that a build does not make sense to ship than have you find out after you paid a carrier.
You arrange and pay the carrier directly. We are not a broker, we do not quote shipping and we do not take a cut of it. If you want a name, we will give you the carrier other customers have used and take nothing for it. Open or enclosed is your call and your budget.
Every panel, every wheel, the interior, the odometer, timestamped, before it moves under its own power. That record protects both of us, and it is the first thing you get by email.
Once we have the truck in front of us and the parts are confirmed, you get a realistic completion window in writing. Parts availability drives most of it, and we would rather give you an honest date than an optimistic one.
The quote is itemized — parts, labor, supplies, tax and fees. If we open something up and find a worn ball joint or a rusted bolt, you get a photo and a phone call before we do anything about it. No surprise line items at pickup.
You are a long way away and you cannot walk into the bay, so the bay comes to you. Progress photos every week, and more when something worth seeing happens. This is the part most shops do not do and it is the reason people trust us with the truck.
Deposit up front, balance settled before the truck goes back on a trailer. We tell you that now so it is never an awkward conversation later. You book the return transport the same way you booked the trip out.
One-ton and dual rear wheel trucks, F-350 and F-450, 3500 and 4500 chassis. Rack length, weight capacity and the clamps for duals are the reason a lot of shops turn these away. That is a narrow national niche and it is one worth traveling for.
Carli, King, Westcott, Fox and ICON. Anybody can bolt a coilover on. Matching valving to spring rate and to how the truck is actually used, then correcting caster so it tracks straight, is the part most shops skip and the part you feel every day.
Suspension, wheels and tires, alignment, bumpers, lighting, wraps and window tint all happen in our building. A truck that ships in does not get sent across town three times, and you are not coordinating four vendors from a thousand miles away.
We tell you what we will not do before you book a carrier, not after. Emissions equipment stays on the truck, engine internals get referred out, and anything we are not the right shop for, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
Yes. Trucks, SUVs, Jeeps and cars, from anywhere in the United States. We are in Argyle, Texas, north of Dallas–Fort Worth, and vehicles come to us on open and enclosed carriers regularly. The work is the same work we do for somebody who lives ten minutes away.
No, and that is deliberate. You book the carrier and pay them directly, which keeps you in control of cost, timing and insurance during transit, and keeps us out of a business we have no reason to be in. If you want a recommendation we will give you the name of a carrier our customers have used and we take nothing for it.
That is between you and the carrier and it moves with fuel, distance, season and whether you want open or enclosed. Get two or three quotes. What we will tell you honestly is that shipping only makes sense on a build big enough to justify it — nobody should ship a truck across the country for a leveling kit they can get done at home.
You get a realistic window in writing once we have the vehicle and the parts are confirmed, and we hold to it or we call you. We do not publish a blanket number because a set of shocks and a full build are not the same job, and parts availability drives more of the schedule than shop time does.
Yes. We carry garage liability and garagekeepers coverage, and we can send you a certificate of insurance before you ship. Transit is covered by your carrier's cargo insurance, which is worth confirming with them directly — ask for their certificate too, not just their price.
Deposit up front to secure the bay and order parts, balance settled before the truck ships home. We take card, and the card processing fee is quoted up front rather than added at the end. Every line on the invoice is itemized.
You get a photo and a phone call, and nothing else happens until you say so. That is the same rule for a local customer, it just matters more when you cannot come look at it yourself.
We do not remove or defeat emissions equipment on any vehicle, ever — not DPF, not EGR, not a tune that disables them. We do not do internal engine work, and we do not chase check-engine or drivability faults. If that is what you are shipping for, we are the wrong shop and we would rather say so before you pay a carrier.
