Our tow truck driver spoke highly of the place and when we got there, they were closed. Our tow truck driver called the owner/ son's cell phone number which is posted on the building. Within minutes Chepe came and opened the shop for us. Because it was a Sunday, we didn't expect our car to fixed until Monday at the earliest. They assessed our car needed a new alternator and that it should be ready in 40 or so minutes! What? Sure enough our car was done and we are on our way home! They charged us what Auto Zone charged them for the part and for their labor. We are so grateful for a place that is trustworthy, who goes out of their way to help and doesn't gouge travelers who are desperate to get to their destination. Thank you so much, Villanueva Auto Repair!

AAA was a joke, after 1.5 hrs, they sent a small truck with Walmart jumper cables for our huge diesel, but I regress. After spending the night in the Chevron parking lot because our truck (pulling a 33' trailer) would not start. Some kind gentleman and his grown sons stopped and ran a test on the engine and said it may be the sensors failed or a coil or ?...diesel engine troubles. Bottom line was, we weren't getting home until it was fixed. Looking for Automotive repair places in Blythe (yikes), I noted the great reviews (dismissing the one some idiot wrote about an estimate). Called Mead Automotive and spoke with a gentleman who said "yes" his wife would handle our extended diesel drive-train warranty paperwork (which Lorie is excellent at doing) and to have it towed in and he would take a look. AAA towed our trailed and truck (thank you Bobbie) and Hamp began working on it. He drove my husband to an auto supply shop for two new batteries (gave Hamp a good deal too), then returned and continued to troubleshoot. A friend drove to Blythe from Cucamonga and drove us to Ontario Airport to rent a car and drive home to Fallbrook, in San Diego. The truck and trailer stayed with Hamp. They kept our trailer for several days on their locked lot, free of charge and made sure the batteries were charged (awesome!). The next day (Friday), Hamp called and said he was home thinking about it and the answer came to him (diligence). He went in Monday morning and ordered the parts and bam, he was now able to repair it (when all the parts arrived...yay). Turned out the a/c condenser froze up and caused the engine sensors to do the same (a wife's version). The a/c had gone out on our way to Sedona (boo). The truth is that Hamp and Lorie were a true blessing for us. We were in the middle of nowhere and very vulnerable. I doubt we could have found anyone in San Diego that could have done a better job at such a fair price. Lorie billed our insurance and our share was about $800 for everything. He had our truck for 5 days and a lot of labor, not to mention keeping our trailer safe. I wish they were closer, we could always use an honest diesel mechanic out our way. Thanks again! Liz and Greg P.S. We could use a good diesel mechanic her in Fallbrook (it's lovely here, year-round).

He says pull your car over there behind that truck, they will take care of you next. Guy finishes the truck and says "what do we have going on?" I say I got a nail right here in this tire. Dude knocks it out in about 15-20 minutes tells me to go in the office and give them this order slip. I go in and hand the office guy the order slip that says tire repair. I say what do I owe you? He says 25 dollars. I pay cash and give the guy who fixed the tire a 5 dollar bill on my way off. This was 2pm on a Friday, had this happened on a sunday or after 5 pm who knows.
