Dan’s Driveline

Wow!!! What a great team. They really know their stuff and is very very professional & polite. I had been to 3 or 4 shops before hand telling me I needed a brand new drive shaft, upon an in depth inspection they figured they could replace the parts on my drive shaft with their shelf supply and get it back to me by the end of the day. Felt great hearing that they could fix it. Left feeling even better! Thank you so much Dans Driveline! A+++
Ps. The pens are sweet!

I took my Yukon in to get the rear driveshaft UJs replaced and then balanced. The shaft was squeaking like a pack of burning rats and there was a definite vibration developing through the chassis. Dan’s did exactly what I asked for without the usual Vegas up-​sell of stuff that is not required. These guys do great, honest work at a very reasonable price ($ 150 all in). My truck is now even quieter than a mouse and runs as smooth as rubbing honey on Kiera Knightley… not bad for 220,000 miles! Thanks Dan’s!

Good guys here! I brought in a rather straight forward job for a shop of this caliber. Lower control and caster arms to have old bushings pushed out and new ones in. Pricing was reasonable for the labor completed, the gentlemen that assisted me were informative and friendly. Being open on Saturday was a plus and i drove quite a distance to brig my stuff here because they are simply good at what they do from what i hear, and now what i experienced. Just no nonsense mechanics… exactly what you should want.

Dan’s Driveline so far has done an excellent job on balancing my driveshaft. They had to do a little extra work due to previous work that was done so it did take extra time. Due to my quote being given to me verbally and not written down, their was a discrepancy when the bill came at the end. I wouldn’t have been shocked if I was told beforehand as their prices are fair but because of no written quotes, the mechanics had nothing to base their work off of and just did the work that needed to be done to fix my driveshaft. Brick was able to help me resolve my issue and is a very honorable man. The whole staff there was very nice to me. The day I went, it was pouring rain but they were still getting a lot of business which tells me that they are one of the best auto shops. I’ve over heard some guy saying he came all the way from Henderson as well.
These guys have very knowledgeable mechanics. If you decide to take your vehicle here just remember to get quotes written down. I think they may have been training somebody new at the front counter so that’s why mine wasn’t written.

This is the best shop hands down. The people there are friendly funny and caring. Brick assures you that it will be okay. His whole team is very knowledgable.

Nice guys, did a great job at last minute notice, stayed late and charged the normal fee.

Went to Dan’s to have the regearing on my Wrangler done. Had hard time deciding between Adams and Dan’s. Ultimately went with Dan’s. Price point was better and they seemed to actually care (as opposed to the lady that answers phones at Adams). Anyways, took a star off bc they took a few extra days with my car and kept getting the run around to why. Happy with the results so far. Will go back for any additional work that I may need on the jeep. Thanks Dans!

Okay, this might be a tad long (will do my best to keep it concise). I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon (coming up on 170k miles) that needed a rear double cardan (CV) drive shaft after I had a lift installed at one of the Las Vegas area 4×4 specialty shops. They recommended Dan’s after they could not eliminate the vibe without the CV shaft upgrade. So I called ahead and the guys were nice enough to say «bring it on over and we’ll take a look at it». I limped it over (severe vibes post suspension lift) and Brick took a quick look at it and confirmed the diagnosis. He said to give him a couple days to build the CV shaft and true to his word, it was ready/​built/​installed middle of the next week (to include a rear pinion angle alignment).
All seemed well for the most part… there was a slight harmonic vibe at highway speeds (55 – 70 mph) that wasn’t totally eliminated. I gave it a week just to confirm that it wasn’t me being paranoid/​psychosomatic concerning vibes. I took it back to Dan’s and had Brick confirm the balance/​pinion angle and he said everything that they had worked on was good to go/​in spec. So I went another couple of days trying to decide if I could live with it. I couldn’t. So I took it to the 4×4 shop that did the lift install to get a second opinion (just like the doctor’s office ;) After a half day’s worth of troubleshooting (swapping out the new rear DS, checking U-​Joints, etc), they could not find the culprit either (yep, Dan’s has the pinion angle dialed in correctly, etc). But the vibration was there still… What gives? Am I going to have to live with it long term? I decided I couldn’t, so I called Dan’s back up and told them here I come again.
Well, to keep this saga short, it was NOT anything Dan’s had done. The Jeep TJs (and other Jeep models) have an OEM CV drive shaft up front from the front axle to the transfer case. When lifts on TJs are done, it is pretty much ALWAYS that short rear DS that is the vibe culprit; not the longer front one that is already an upgraded CV DS. But mine was (a one off issue that you don’t see mention of). It only exhibited the vibration issue when the drive angle was increased after the suspension install. It also would not exhibit the vibration when you removed the rear drive shaft and ran it at speed under a load (4 High). Well, Brick went beyond the normal process of elimination (the no vibrations when only running the front DS was a bit of a head scratcher) and confirmed the issue after swapping both DSs in and out along with multiple test drives. Once confirmed, he rebuilt the OEM front DS for me and now six weeks later and several thousand miles? Perfect. Vehicle feels like a stock Jeep on the highway.
Dan’s went above and beyond the required customer service and were never belligerent or questioning about the repeated returns. Brick confirmed the work he did was good multiple times (and the 2d opinion from the lift installer confirmed it), but he never threw his hands up and got defensive about my coming back. All he said was that «we’ll figure it out». And he did – despite my TJ having a rather unique issue… and one that had nothing to do with Dan’s Driveline work in the first place. My hats off to them as they figured out a one off/​unique Jeep lift issue that other experts (and the multiple forums) couldn’t. Thank you!

Took my 10 bolt rearend from my 66 chevelle to them for a refresh. The old ring and pinion gears were a bit pitted. They told me they wouldnt install new posi unit with those gears. New gears run about 300.00.
Brick told me that he had a set he would sell me for 100.00. Completed the whole package. Wow, what a GREAT job. Way to go guys.

Well, the factory defect throw-​out bearing on my 2009 Tacoma got me. Called Dan’s and they did an outstanding job in installing the new custom PDX part and a new clutch (79,000 hard offroad miles).
Truck shifts and runs better than new. These guys also do great customer service. They actually do deserve the 5 stars.
Easy to work with, fair shop rates.

These guys are the experts when it comes to driveline/​drivetrain repair and custom work. You cannot find a more honest shop in town. Thanks for the great job Brick!

These guys are normally backlogged five days and understandably so. The record is impeccable and work is top notch. I was referred here by a few places including the last place to look at my work truck. I called and they said we do free test drives to see what could be wrong. I came in at 10 AM they drove my truck and immediately realized that «U» joints were going bad. They quoted me $ 140 to replace both front and rear and balance the driveline which I thought was extremely fair! I told them I did not have a ride and he said he would get right on it for me. I walked down the street to kill some time at the motorcycle shop. I called for a ride and before I know it they were calling me from Dan’s drive line letting me know they had already finished my truck. Talk about service! Dan you and your crew will always receive my business and any of my customers business as well, Thank you!

Great work, awesome employees. Will be doing business with them again.

Just picked up my ’58 Chevy. Brick and the Boys dis a great job of finding the problem with the axle and fixing it. They really know their stuff.

These guys helped us out when we were in a really bad spot. They did the repair quickly and in the time estimated. They were able to salvage our axle housing despite having been bent. They had a specialist from Cali come to do a very vital operation on it. Excellent service. Great quality work.

Brick and the techs at Dan’s Driveline have done it again: super competent mechanical service and custom skills to boot on my new ’70 Camaro project! They replaced missing clutch pedal bits, missing posi parts in the rear end, and modded and fabricated the shifter so it not only looks better, but sits at a perfect default 1^st gear angle. The car now rips off the line with the fresh posi, the clutch action is back to normal, and the new shifter feels and looks sweet.
All in all, the drive feel of this car is 100% better, and that’s exactly what a driveline shop should be about. I couldn’t be happier and I look forward to bringing my next project here to sort out. Seriously as good as it gets.

You know how hard it is to find a good automotive shop in this town, or anywhere?
How about an EPIC shop that has been here for decades? That would be Dan’s Driveline. These guys are absolutely awesome.
I bought an old 87 F-​150 as a project truck a couple years ago with almost 300K miles on her so needless alot of work was comin.
I have had these guys re-​do her entire drive-​train piece by piece and NO_​ONE can do what they do, how they do. Re-​sealed both differentials, replaced all U-​Joints front and rear, pinion seals, rebuilt the transmission, and more. Most of the time these guys are done ahead of schedule.
So if you have anything drivetrain related or even brake jobs call the guys, ask for Brick.

This is the best driveline shop in Vegas, bar none. I’m a garage tinkerer and get by doing most stuff on my own, but when it comes to this its worth the few bucks to make sure its done right.
Their prices aren’t rock bottom, but they are worth the premium. Most importantly, they are HONEST and will never charge you a dime for something that you do not need.
Head out to LVMS or Apex and you’ll tend to notice that nearly every «serious» driveline was built at Dan’s.

This review is long overdue, but I’m trying to catch up on some this morning and wanted to start the day with a great recommendation first. Positive brings good results and that’s exactly what you find here.
This is one of those specialty shops that do what other shops won’t and when your mechanic starts saying anything that remotely sounds like drive shafts, axles, rear differential, transfer case (used in 4 X 4 vehicles). steering — rack and pinion, shocks, sway bars, and basically anything else he can’t pronounce and all you see is $ signs coming out of his mouth, then stop right there — grab your keys and drive over to Dan’s Driveline before you sign over your savings.
I ‘m one of those guys who wants to save money, hates paying mechanics for something I can do myself for a lot less (believe me I have the tools and the knowledge) and wants to shop ebay /​amazon for wholesale parts. Basically taking a car to have it fixed is against my grain unless it was rebuilding transmission and then I give up.
I was trying to sell my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4 X 4 with the Hemi engine. Even though the miles were below average, the vehicle had this ongoing horrible sounding «clunk» when you went from Park to reverse and reverse to drive. It sounded like the transmission or the transfer case was going to drop out, but when you drove it after the noise it ran smooth, shifted normal and seemed perfectly fine. I ignored it for a long time as it was basically a second car for me and I hardly drove it. Every time I did move it or drive it, I would hear that sound and cringe thinking I am glad this is not my daily driver.
Well when it came time for me to sell it back in November, I just rmembered the old adage «don’t invest money in something you’re just trying to sell». I mean I replaced the brake pads and battery as that is a safety issue, but this was just a «clunk» and it still drove fine. I then detailed the car, steamed the engine, shampoo’d the interior and it was looking better than new. Carmax always gives the best money for your trade without having to buy another car and off I went. Smiling that is until the offer came back 50% less than the average wholesale trade and loan value. I was puzzled and not amused until the guy said, «well if the tranny didn’t sound like it was going to take the transfer case on a date get married and never return, then maybe it would be worth another $ 5K».
Let me try to shorten this review as i am off on a tangent. I researched what could be wrong and apparently this was an issue with many of the Grand Cherokees 2005 – 2008. It wasn’t the tranny or the transfer case, but the axle supports on the front drive-​train. There are rubber shock bushings between the bolts that tighten down the axle to the frame. These are called isolator bushings and they were rotted out. Apparently an issue Jeep should have recalled, but that’ another reason I will never ever buy Chrysler product again — even Mercedes after they merged.
So I researched the parts and googled the how to video and the more I looked into it, the less appealing a 5 hour labor job for 2 $ 30 bushings was making its way into my busy schedule. I was dreading taking it to a mechanic and going o prepare myself for an easy $ 1500 bill. I heard about Dan’s from another car guru and I drove up there on Saturday just before closing. I was prepared to leave it for as long as it took, so waiting or timing was not an issue for me. I just wanted the good news or the bad. I wish I remembered the lady’s name who helped me, but she was very nice and got someone to look at my car. You would think they all enjoyed working here and the 5PM whistle didn’t matter if a customer was still in need.
The mechanic got under the vehicle and we spoke briefly. We went inside and i was told that they would have an estimate Monday and I could leave it till then. I was going out of town, so no big deal. That Monday another very nice gentleman called me and said here is your estimate broken down. I was shocked to hear the parts were the same price I was quoted on amazon (I never revealed to them I knew the wholesale price– that was my bargaining tool). He even surprised me more when he gave my the labor price of $ 400. I thought surely there must be some mistake and wanted to get off the phone before he changed his mind.
A day or so later the same guy called and said, «we finished and I have some news for you». I thought here we go with the add-​ons and the reality was becoming surreal. I thought you got me as you already performed the work, so jack it up to the $ 1500 tactic. He continued, «well we were able yo get the job done with less labor time, so I saved you another $ 60 bucks». What!!! Jaw dropped. that’s why these guys get 5 stars. I never experienced this before and I left there with a new outlook and perception of repair shops until I realized this company really is unique. I praise you all at Dan’s. Thank you so much! I sold the Jeep!

Oil change guys at Terrible’s told me my rear differential was leaking at the pinion seal… three days before Christmas, and two days before I’m supposed to leave on a 1,000-mile roadtrip! They referred me to Dan’s Driveline, who managed to squeeze me in at 8am Friday morning.
Meanwhile, I Google my problem and read all this crazy crap about $ 600 repair jobs. I freak out, but go in anyway, expecting the worst. Over the phone, they quoted me around $ 120…but I know how that stuff goes; the old bait & switch!
ASTONISHINGLY, I was in and out in less than two hours — and the total bill was $ 95! Amazing. The only time in my life I’ve ever walked out of a mechanic’s place having paid LESS than I thought. Go, Dan!!!
Customer service was pretty good, too. Since I didn’t even KNOW there was an 8:00am (I work nights), I get there 20 mins late… but they didn’t bitch me out. The lady at the front was friendly, but in a sort of brusque way. She had me fill out some paperwork when I arrived, and I stood around at the counter for about 15 minutes waiting for her to tell me «OK, we’ll call you when it’s done» or «OK, it’s gonna cost $ 500.» But she never said ANYTHING to me after taking my paperwork. I was kinda nervous because the part where they were supposed to write the estimate had been left blank, but I signed anyway because I’m a meek wuss.
After about 15 minutes of standing there like an idiot, I finally went and sat down in the little waiting area, where they have cocoa, cookies and coffee (Keurig, no less) for you while you wait. I expected to wait a few minutes before someone came over to tell me what was going on – when I could come back to pick up my truck, how much it was going to cost, etc.
No one ever did! It was kinda unsettling… but I’m a super-​passive person when it comes to this stuff, so I just sat there waiting, until finally, 90 min later, she said «You’re all done» and charged me $ 95.
So, I can’t really complain about the customer service because it all worked out so well. But… it was WEIRD. When I first got there, before filling out my paperwork, no less than THREE separate people asked me if I had been helped. But after that, nothing. I had no idea what was going on; maybe they assumed I knew!
Worse, the whole 90 mins I was sitting there I was sweating BULLETS because I noticed a «Christian Business Directory» prominently displayed… and I have a Planned Parenthood sticker on my truck and a photo of my vagina clipped to the passenger side visor. What if they sabotaged me for being a godless babykiller???
Then when I got the suspiciously low bill, I was extra freaked out. What if it’s a trick, and my truck breaks down in the desert???
So I waited until after my 1,000-mile road trip to write this. As of this writing, my truck is still running fine… so I feel confident enough to give them 5 Fabulous Stars. They were fast, cost-​effective and polite… in their weird, uncommunicative way.
I definitely recommend this place!
