What can I say except unreal service and exceptional people!…read more My family and I rented a camper van on our way through Nevada and onward to DisneyLand for my daughter's spring break trip, and traveling through Wells, Nevada we suddenly broke down on a very fast and windy stretch of HWY 93 (possibly the worst place to break down). After calling in a tow truck back to Wells, feeling like our trip was ruined, we got word that a team of mechanics were en route with another replacement van and were going to repair the original van in order to get themselves back home. By the next day we were on our way and feeling renewed on our adventure! The Hop Shops service was expedient, friendly (helped me switch all our many things and gear to the new van), and very good mechanics as they fixed the van on the go! Our family got to know these great folks during our time together and we can confidently say these are great people that care. Obviously our experience with The Hop Shops service was a great one when we needed it most! Highly recommend! 10/10!

Scott is the man! This is a man that cares about his work & his customers…read more I've lived in the Boise area since March & not one friend could give me the name of a trustworthy reasonable mechanic. I tried using Yelp to help find a shop that had high ratings & mostly positive reviews. I had a shop (Walter @ Mac's Automotive) convince me that replacing my rear end assembly instead of rebuilding the differential would be more cost-effective due to labor & parts. Initially quoted me $2300 ($1700 for the rear end) + $500 for 2 sensors that had to be replaced (told me that I had to do all 4). Ended up having Scott tow my truck from that shop to his & I told him what The prior shop had told me. To my surprise, Scott came back that same day quoting me $1300 for the rebuild. Then he mentioned the sensors & expressed their importance but I didn't have to do all 4. All said & done........$1655 out the door! Thank God For Perfection Drivetrain!

I checked the transmission fluid prior to taking my rig in. It was clean and clear but lighter than normal. Within days of having the Safeguard done, my rig at times was shuddering and was unable to maintain power at low speeds. Approximately two weeks and 2K miles later on 01/18/2023 my rig completely powered off while at a stop light 3 miles from my home. The vehicle did start back up. I checked the transmission fluid once home. It was dirty and looked like metal shavings in the fluid. It's been parked ever since. I called the BOISE AAMCO ON STATE STREET on 01/26/2023 and asked what they put into my transmission. He proceeded to tell me to get an attorney to talk to his attorney and hung up. This location refuses to hold accountability for their faulty services. I attached photos of the dirty transmission oil AAMCO ON STATE STREET put in my rig.
