2002 Pontiac Firebird WS-6 with 6 speed manual transmission. Traveling from MS to CO and back to MS. Clutch started acting up (dragging, hanging up at bottom of stroke) in CO. Locally recommended mechanic checked it out by sitting in car, depressing clutch, and shifting it. Mechanic said it was pilot bearing. Couldn’t get to it for six weeks because of shop repair load. Other shops backed up the same way. Said ok to drive and wouldn’t be a problem. Clutch continued to get worse, getting to the point it would go to the floor and stick after simply touching the pedal at the top of the pedal stroke. Went to locally recommended repair shop in Bayfield. Shop also backed up but owner would work it in for my friend. After sitting at the shop all day, said it was slave cylinder leaking but ok to drive. Take several days to get parts and repair it. Left and drove to Mt Pleasant, Tx. Clutch getting worse to the point I was expecting total failure. Friend recommended Rychliks. Took car to Rychliks late on Thursday afternoon. Talked to Wesley and told him what other mechanics had said. Wesley/Rychliks were also backed up but he’d work it in. Rychliks ordered parts they thought it would need that Thursday evening/night. Started repair Friday morning. Shirley called me and said they had the parts but one part (clutch?) was expensive and did I want them to continue. I said yes. She replied maybe the expensive part wouldn’t be needed. Got a call around noon Friday that they had it back together (the “expensive” part wasn’t needed), but also needed a clutch master cylinder, which was hard to find. There were ones in Dallas, Houston, and Oklahoma City. Hopefully they could get one in Saturday morning. My friend drove me to Dallas and we got the master cylinder. Returned to Rychliks about 5pm that Friday evening and Beau started replacing the master cylinder. Saturday just before noon, Shirley called me that my Firebird was repaired. Had replaced worn out throw out bearing, slave cylinder, and master cylinder. Pilot bearing, clutch, and clutch fingers were all good and the repair cost was very reasonable. Plus, the clutch works great, as good as it did when the car was new (I bought it new and it only has 49,000 miles on it).
Thank you Wesley, Beau, Shirley, and the rest of the mechanics who worked on my car. You did a great job and I really appreciate it. You are a Christian organization and a pleasure to do business with.
By the way, yes, I do work on my own vehicles and farm equipment, having replaced clutches, brakes, rebuilt engines, etc, so I had a pretty good idea of what sounded reasonable (Pilot bearing sticking? Hmm, not likely). Yes, I could have replaced/repaired it myself at home with my tools and access to a lift and transmission jack. However, I was concerned the clutch wouldn’t get me home plus at 73 years of age, repairing vechicles isn’t nearly as much fun as it used to be.

Spoke with Latwaina. She said they were very personable. They took her vehicle in and did the work quickly.
Ralph said they did good work and had really friendly people. There was another business he used in Charleston, but the owner retired. This business has come the closest to what that one was like.

Spoke with Joey. He said the work they did was fine, but it wasn't exceptional.
Barbara said she is very pleased. They were very thorough about letting her know what the deal was. They were very honest. She heard about this business from a repair representative at Wal-Mart who highly recommended them. She was impressed with the business because they told her they would stay and wait for her to come in, even though it was already getting late.
