Our lines of communication have been very open with this customer, and we have talked with him many times. He had driven this unit back from ****** Kansas without any complaints to our salesman a side from a cracked windshield which we took care of. We informed the customer to bring the unit to our shop multiple times because the unit has warranty remaining on it. He did not bring it to us he instead took it to two different shops in the area. Truck Center Companies does not have any knowledge that this unit was ever in a wreck. We believe we have gone above and beyond to help and communicate with this customer. Thank you
