T & G Refurbishers 21619 Briar Bluff Road 7600, Coal Valley, IL 61240

"We purchased a 1999 Kenworth W900 from this place. I thought that when they refurbished the trucks, they went through them and replaced parts that needed some attention. I was wrong. There were several airbags that started leaking as soon as I hooked it to a trailer. There was paint on everything that was close to the frame, which made it look nice, but it's a pain to work on. The A/C didn't work in the truck when I test drove it. They said they would fix it, but all they did was recharge it. It quit working a couple days later. The lever that switches the air from heat to A/C broke within a couple weeks of having it. The fifth wheel was welded all the way back. The welds were painted over and I wasn't looking for that when I bought the truck. One of the exhaust pipes had a bad clamp on it and would spin to the side as you went down the road. There was an oil leak on the oil pan that developed after driving it for a while. One of the differentials started leaking oil after getting it home. I should have done more detailed looking into the truck, but based on the companies name, website and what the owner told me, I thought I was buying a truck that had been gone through and was road ready. If you are thinking about buying a truck from them, don't let the shiny paint fool you. Take a very hard look at everything you can possibly think of and I would bring your mechanic along before you buy anything. I learned my lesson on this one, I just hope I can help make sure that people don't have the same experience I did."

"Quality refurbishing work and the owners are very nice people!"
