[snowbirds R us]

While travelling through St Louis and into Illinois, I had another spring hanger let go. Found this company called United Truck STL, located at 2222 Lincoln Ave in Granite City, Illinois and they came out. They spent all day, 8 hours, working on my spring hanger problem with equipment that was totally inadequate for the job. Also, charged me for the time it took them to go out and find additional wire to use on their child's welder, since they ran out. I found that unacceptable not to carry welding rods/wire with you, since you would most likely have to use it. After ripping me off for the job that cost me 700.00 they hurried off the scene. After driving 20 miles, that same hanger let go again. Also, since it started sprinkling rain for a very short period of time the charged a fee for "inclement" weather. I tried and tried to get them to answer their phone but they would not. They knew what a lousy job they had done and didn't want any more part it in. Here are pictures of the repair he attempted to do and charge 700.00. The last picture is of the finished repair I had done by a reputable repairman in this area. He fixed all eight of them and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. I am sending this notice for people who might be travelling through this area and have similar issues with hangers, since it is a common problem.
