What clients say about Freightliner of Elkton in Elktonia (MD)

This dealership is an absolute joke. Calling them “the worst I’ve ever dealt with” doesn’t even come close. They took a simple 10-minute coolant temperature sensor pigtail job and dragged it out for four hours, then tried to hit me with a $392 bill. That’s not bad service — that’s straight-up robbery. After I complained, they cut the $392 in half, which tells you they knew they were overcharging in the first place. And they still charged me. On top of that, they added a $475.02 diagnostic fee for a “minimum 2 hours,” even though the diagnostic took 30 minutes. Every dealership across the country charges 1 hour minimum for diagnostics, not 2 hours. I have no idea how they justify billing double the standard rate for something they barely touched. My truck sat in the bay while the manager decided it was the perfect time to hold a meeting with the employees. I understand managers need to have meetings, but you don’t do that when a customer’s truck is literally sitting there waiting for repairs. Have the meeting before opening, after closing, or when no one is waiting. Doing it during active repair time is completely unprofessional and shows zero respect for the customer’s time. Management saw everything and clearly didn’t care — which explains why this place is such a disaster. They don’t work weekends because they don’t have enough real work, and after seeing how they operate, it’s obvious why customers avoid them. And the front-desk rep telling me, “We’re good mechanics, trust us,” was laughable. If anyone at TransTec Inc. says that to you, that’s your sign to run. These people are lazy, overpriced, and completely incompetent. Every TransTec location I’ve dealt with has been the same mess.

I had an RV on a Freightliner chassis and took it here for service and repairs for the past 5 years. Just about every time that I called, Kyle answered the phone and told me to bring it in whenever I want. I never had to make an appointment or anything else, and the work was always done fast! If I ever buy another Freightliner I would not hesitate to take it here for any kind of service or maintenance.

This shop is clean and the employees are pleasant. However communication is poor and urgency is non existent. If you're not a fleet operator I'd stay away. What should have been a simple repair to replace a pressure sensor ended up taking a week due to an incomplete diagnosis on the emmisions system.

This place ordered food one day from pizza hut. A good amount of food. Ordered by Matthew. My gf delivered the food and then this place called door dash and said they didn't receive the food. How slimy is that? I wouldn't trust them if I was a customer if they are willing to do slimy stuff like that. She doesn't do door dash anymore so I have been waiting to report this on them to avoid retribution. I was literally in the car with her as we delivered it.

The tech left a plug unplugged and that was the code we were getting. He said and I quote I cleared the code and got another one. We open the tuck and the sensor was unplugged. My boyfriend is a good dude. The tech should have been given the southern treatment.

This location has been great about getting us in and out - especially on warranty work. I can typically call and get in same day. The parts department has been wonderful about working in tandem with service and getting the parts in hand before our trucks even arrive. Can't recommend enough! Drivers area is also pretty nice and spacious with a decent amount of furniture, however, could improve by having showers and/or laundry facilities available.

This has been by far the best experience I agave ever had at a repair facility. Everything was explained in a way that made me understand exactly why my truck shut down, what needed to be corrected to get me up and running again, and what I should be doing to prevent future failure. They understand that my truck is my money and did everything they could to expedite my repairs and get me back out and making money. A huge thanks to Freightliner of Elkton!!!

If you’re anything like me your truck is your baby it’s your money maker so you don’t just trust it with anybody. These dear people communicated with me professionally from start to finish. They are very helpful and timely with their work. I would I highly recommend all truck drivers to them. You won’t be disappointed. Owner-Op: Akeem

I took my truck in for an valve adjustment for 500 dollars and they removed the parts to my DEF coolant system and broke the lines and charged me for what they broke an tried to charge ne an additional 1800 dollars for something they broke. I will never recommend this dealership to anyone.

This place are absolute scammers. I took a Freightliner there to get checked out and fixed because we believed it derated. I was given a bill for $3600 which I approved and asked to perform a DOT inspection. When they completed the inspection, I was given another bill totaling over $11,000. I declined those additional charges and told them to just fix the issue I originally brought it there for. They did work then told me the truck was fixed and to come pick it. up. Though they finished it after they originally stated, I was told I would be charged a storage fee if I don't come pick it up. I paid my invoice and had my driver pick it up. AS SOON AS he turned on the truck he immediately knew the truck was derated and did not drive 100 ft. The sales associate in servicing told me they took the truck for a drive that day which clearly WAS a lie. I wasted time getting the driver there and back home with no truck. Then I was given another inspection bill of $1200 just to check the DPFs. NOTHING they fixed before was part of the need to get it out of derating. Every step of the way I have been lied to and charged 95% labor cost on the entire bill. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

I’m very disappointed I brought my truck in for a air pressure leak and it’s still leaking. And a Def system issue and still having problems. They make up other issues that I supposed to have had but to my knowledge I had none. Just got it back yesterday! I would never bring my truck back there.

Crew was very respectful and attentive. Fixed a problem that 4 other Freightliner dealers couldn't!

Great experience!!! From the service department with Kyle getting me in first thing to Peter the tech letting me explain what I thought was wrong. To Tanya in service who thought to talk to David DiSabatino in parts who saw the situation and amazingly realized that he just received the part in on a return that I was going to have to wait 4 days to get the part here. Which means I didn't have to wait for the part. Thanks team!!! You're awesome!!! Highly recommend this place!

These people took my money and didn’t do nothing but I paid for out-of-pocket. They overcharge and they take your money without even doing the work. I had a warranty issue. That should have only took a day or two. It turns into them holding my truck for over a week. I decided to pay some money to get certain things that I wanted fixed personally And they still did not do the job but they got my money. Don’t come here because these people Are out to over charge and take your money without doing the service. They do not know what they are doing up there.

Service department has no sense of urgency and very little care for the owner operators down time. After dropping the truck off Wednesday night for a Thursday service, got the initial diagnosis Thursday afternoon, told them what I wanted done, then heard nothing until I contacted them Friday afternoon. Told that the Tech would start on the repairs Friday night. No word until I reached out to them again on Monday mid-day when I was told again the Tech was assigned and would start Monday night. Decided to stop in Monday night and the truck was still outside not touched since Thursday! Also, just talking to the service clerk was frustrating as I could tell he had no idea what was even involved with the repair and he had no idea what I was talking about when I explained several times what I wanted looked at. Please save yourself some downtime and take your business to a shop that knows what they are doing.

It's a clean, and organized shop. But be careful if you have limited time. When my truck was new, 2 years ago, I went to have a spotlight installed. They said maybe a couple hours. It took about 8.we could have left it with them but didn't. Today I went in for a check engine light, was very clear I just wanted the code read, as I did not have time for repair that would have to be arranged for a later date. They were nice enough to work me into schedule. That said, 2 hours later the tech was ready to start repairing. I was clear this was not being left for repair. Left after 2 hours and 40 minutes with barely enough time to safely make it back to my home terminal. I appreciate the effort but like the first time it's better to just assume your going to have to leave it.

They take their time and are very thorough. Took truck in for normal service and during their inspection they found a small oil leak that would have became an issue if let go. They keep you updated and do good work as well. And very nice people as well.

If I could put zero stars I would. Never ever again. 6 days for an abs sensor. Incredible. Never seen anything like it ever. No rush. They let the truck batteries go dead so we lost everything in the fridge and freezer. We asked them twice to charge the batteries so that didn't happen. Said they would. 2 mechanics told us they hadn't been told. I'm absolutely dumbfounded by this place.

I 100% recommend Transteck, Inc for excellent, timely repair and service! My coolant line on Freightliner Cascadia Dd15 needed to be replaced. I called and Thomas looked the part up, went and got it and held it. Upon speaking with him I inquired about service. He transferred me to Kyle, who told me to go ahead and bring the truck in and they would go ahead and put the line on for me right away. When I got there Willette greeted me and my pup with kindness that put my stressful day at ease. These guys are prompt, professional, and very kind and helpful to the driver. Excellent 👍👍 large shop and service with great people!

Arrived Monday 3/25 about noon and was taken in for a water pump on a Cat, was told they could not diagnose a Cat engine but they could replace the water-pump. Next day went to check on it and they just started to work on it, was told that it SHOULD be ready by Thursday morning. Tuesday night the owner of the truck was told the mounting plate behind water-pump was pitted and should be replaced, owner gave his OK to do so. Thursday morning 9 am went back over there, still sitting in same condition, when inquired about it was told it would not be ready till Friday morning. Went back over there Friday morning, I notice on their parts pick up board that my cat part had yet to be picked up, when I inquired again about my truck, I was told the parts driver was on the way to get it and the truck SHOULD be ready by 10 pm Friday night. I went back over there Friday evening about 9 pm and was then told the truck SHOULD be ready in the morning and that they would call me at 830 am or 9 am. Next morning, no phone call, went over there at about 10 am and after waiting, was told that it SHOULD be ready by 230 pm. Mind you, the truck went in on Monday 3/25 at about noon, here it is Saturday 3/30 and it SHOULD be ready at 230 pm? Shop hours for a water-pump on a Cat engine calls for 6-7 hours, even inexperienced Tech should have it done withing 10 hours total time tear down and reassembled. On top of the expense of the repair, the prolong time it is taking to accomplish a 10 hour water-pump R&R has cost us several good paying loads, motel expense for 7 days and drivers pay for the week. Now even though you accept some loss due to the breakdown, excessive time to repair this breakdown is totally unacceptable. Was it because it was a Cat engine? Or was it because TECHs as they call them nowadays are not the true MECHANICS of yesterday?

Mark and Taylor got my truck in and out with little fuss. They gave us an eta of Saturday for completion and was able to get it complete a day early. Every time I called I was met with a genuine helpful and professional tone which is hard to come by in this industry. Thanks guys keep up the good work and we will keep coming back!
