We were 2.5 states away from home and didn't know what we were going to do! Monday morning we were turned away from 3 local shops, but eventually someone referred us to Mel and Kim at Trans Works. We called, and Kim graciously told us to come in and Mel would look and see if he could help us. Bad news, good news. Our transmission was shot, but he changed the filter and fluid in an attempt to get us back on the road--and at least a little closer to home and the shop I work for, for repairs! With a little babying and prayer, WE MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME! I surely would have had them do the job if circumstances were different, but I wanted to avoid a return trip if possible. I just want to say thank you to both of them for their generosity, their honesty, and their kindness to complete strangers. What an amazing shop; and one that others should model themselves after! We appreciate you more than you know.

[This is part of a set of reviews covering establishments my family and I encountered while taking…read morea road trip to Cincinnati.] To be honest, I have no idea what Big O's does or sells. Presumably they do things with/sell trailers. But I had to give a rating to this place based on the following story. This is part 2. Part 1 can be found at http://www.yelp.com/biz/bp-station-portage As I walk toward Big O's, I see a display trailer set up outside with an awning and a table. A woman notices me, makes eye contact, and starts walking toward me as I approach. "Can I help you?" "Yeah. I'm out of gas. Do you have ANY idea where I could get some?" "Hmmm... all we have is diesel here. Just a second." The other guys at the display trailer go about their business chatting amongst themselves. She starts walking past the front entrance of the store into a gated area. She asks a group of another 4 guys if they have any suggestions and they all look blankly (I'm starting to see a trend here) and shake their heads. She finds another woman and they mumble to each other and head further into the gates. I follow. The second woman points to a spot on the lot and the first woman pulls out a gas can. A wave of relief pours over me. She pours the first gas can into a second smaller plastic gas container. I'm not sure why she did that since she pretty much emptied the first can into the second with about a half a gallon of gas. "Thank you SO much," I say. "I'll give you a ride to your car." "You don't have to do that. I'm just down the road," pointing to my car. "It's no problem. I want to get away from here anyway." "Ok." We get in her car and I come to find that a nearby river overflowed and they were under 3-4 feet of water for about a week. The week before, I-94 and Hwy 33 had been closed for several days. She gives me directions to Exit 108, I drip the contents of the gas can into my car and make it two miles to fill up my car. I filled up her gas can and returned it thanking the woman profusely. None of the other men at Big O's were very friendly, but I can see their attitude when trying to clean up after a big ol' mess. The woman that helped me may have had ulterior motives to give me a ride, but she didn't have to work as hard as she did to get me the little gas they had. That's the kind of helpfulness I expect from a small town. So if you need a trailer, and aren't far from Portage, WI, stop in at Big O's. Or if you ever find yourself stupid enough to run out of gas in the middle of Wisconsin, know that there will be at least one person around willing to help you out.

On one occasion, they were kind enough to point out that my fuel filter looked loose. (the car had been occasionally smelling of gas but I hadn't looked into it) They tightened it for me free of charge and saved me a big headache. Another time, they pointed out that my ball joints would need replacing soon. They ended up being right! The prices are steep, but it's high quality oil and quality service!

Pulled in and before I could say I want the most basic service, the guy starts in about getting the synthetic. I tell him "no" but he just keeps yammering and I said "no" with more emphasis. The oaf (didn't get the name, bearded fellow) tells me to leave, he "doesn't have to take attitude from customers" I pointed out that I don't have to take attitude from the people I do business with and, of course, that triggers the f-bombs (I don't have a big problem with f-bombs, i threw some back, but I figure the oaf has to report to somebody and they should know about this). I would like to leave one lesson for the oaf - I laughed so hard at you saying, "don't come back to this business again!" Why on earth would anyone come back to deal with rude, stupid people AND pay too much (got my oil changed for $13 less in Baraboo (and the unnecessary synthetic you tried to foist on me would have been another $40).

Placed a call to Lodi Shell not expecting an answer but was incredibly surprised by the positive tone and urgency that Bryan responded. He was incredibly quick, took less than 20 minutes just as he provided as an ETA. He quickly used the battery pack to start car. After hearing we had over 100 miles to our next destination, he said he would be hesitant to drive that far due to possible damage to alternator. He said he would be happy to check if they had the correct battery. We followed him back to the shop in Lodi, he quickly found the correct battery and changed 100 times faster than I could have done it. Not only was Bryan an incredibly nice guy, he also talked about how he really liked working for the owner (don't hear that much nowadays) and the generous support the owner provided to the community. 100% recommend Lodi Shell! Thanks for saving a long day Bryan.
