I looked for a mechanic that worked on Volvos, and I found Thomas Auto Service. They were great! They were able to get me in that day, a Friday, diagnosis the problem, and get me running again. They did not have one of the computer chips on hand and could not get it till Monday - it was a Friday afternoon mind you - but they fixed me up enough, let me know what warning lights would stay on, and got me on my way. I feel I was treated very fairly and honestly. As an out of towner, who would probably never be back again, you worry about being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous mechanic. That was not the case here, at all. They were very honest, and the prices were very good (less than I was expecting, honestly), and it was quality work that allowed me to continue on my journey that day. I would recommend them without any reservations.

I was very stressed not wanting to drive around Rushmore and Needles Hwy with no brake pads and figuring I wouldn't be able to get the van into a shop for at least a day or two. Also, not knowing the area I was worried about getting over charged because I was in a tight spot. I saw that CJ's had good reviews and opened earlier than any other shop. I was there at 720 the morning after getting to town. They got me in immediately and had my van fixed up with new pads and rotors in about an hour and for less than I paid at my usual shop back home! They saved our vacation! Friendly, fast and honest. Highly recommend. Thanks to all the guys at CJ's!

We stopped in Kimball, SD and a fine crew at Overwegs Garage diagnosed the problem but didn't have the part in stock. We needed to be in Custer,SD by dark. Fond farewell to Gavin and very hospitable staff. We called Chris Burlison on Friday as we motored west to Rapid City. He said he'd be able to replace the air conditioner compressor we needed. We were duly concerned about a place called WickedWrenches (there's a story)but it is an amazing clean shop run by a super couple. We grabbed a rental van and headed to Devils Tower for the day. Upon our return, our van threw in one small glitch that required some extra time under the hood, but Chris and Tina worked on that too even though it robbed them of some scheduled family time at a Christian music festival in town. No extra charge for parts or labor! Who does that? Nothing Wicked about those Wrenches!

My son's Jeep had an overheating issue. So I had him take it to Wicked and paid $100 for a…read morediagnosis since they had an opening. He left the Jeep and came back a few hours later. It hadn't been moved. She told him he needed a new head gasket and recommended a new engine since it was an expensive repair anyway. The 2017 Jeep has 65k miles, of which it was towed for 40k of it. Then she offered to buy it from him, so he wouldn't have to pay for the expensive repairs. He pushed back, and she quoted almost $7k for the head gasket repair. So I called and asked to speak to the tech. He was of course busy. Two calls later I finally talked to him. He said he threw a pressure gage on the radiator and maybe noticed a pressure drop, but since he didn't see any leaks it must be the head gasket. A 'super common problem' with that engine. (Actually the opposite is true!) I asked if he ran a compression test on any of the cylinders etc before recommending a new engine or head gasket repair. Nope. My first review ever. But I feel compelled to as I've never had such a slimy and dishonest repair shop experience. Follow up - the Jeep dealer is replacing the thermostat; a less than $50 part.
