By that time, it was almost 6pm, but when I called W&J, they answered the phone, and told me that they could have a mechanic look at my vehicle within about 20 minutes. True to their word, they fit me into their schedule, and I was back up and running by 7:30pm. The mechanics (two of them!) that worked on my vehicle were very friendly and professional. Although they advertise themselves as an 'oil change and tire repair' shop, they are extremely knowledgeable on general automotive repair. To top it all off, the bill was incredibly low; I can't believe they can stay in business with rates that affordable. If I lived anywhere near Custer, this company would be my primary mechanic shop.

Im a mechanic and fabricator and normally don't let anyone touch my ring but me but I only had a basic set of hand tools with me, no drills or bits, no jack stands, nothing I needed to make the repairs so I had little choice. I thought we had lucked out when we found Wesdak, they said they could take a look at it and possibly bandaid it back together while i got the right parts coming. They started the work, while they were working I was on the phone getting the right parts ordered. We went back and forth on a plan. They were going to make it safe to drive while the stud kit came. I spent $250 getting the right parts next day aired from LA. I went to install the studs only to find out they had run the wrong bolts in with an impact gun, ruining the threads and any chance I had of saving the knuckle. I had to pay someone else to weld the knuckle in place so we could continue our trip safely. I called the shop, I left a message for the owner, the mechanic called me, he was very apologetic and said "they" would make it right by giving me a partial refund to cover the cost of the new knuckle $250. I was out $650 at that point. To shorten this up. I never received anything from them, repeated phone calls and texts have gone unreturned. The owner never even had the guts to call me, he made his mechanic do it. I appreciated their willingness to help me out but the attention to detail wasn't anywhere close being that this was a critical part of the steering. Their welding looked ok, but I would avoid them for mechanical work. They don't stand behind their work and won't return phone calls if you have a problem.

The Transmission Specialists saved me thousands of dollars, and I am extremely grateful to Brian…read more After driving hard through the hills in South Dakota on a very hot day in a 1986 (vintage) Toyota Motorhome, I experienced some mechanical problems. The first place I went to help was Southside Auto Repair in nearby Deadwood, SD (See my very positive Yelp about them). After fixing an electrical issue, I was still concerned about my engine/transmission. Southside referred me to the Transmission Specialists. I went to the Transmission Specialists and their backlog of work was a week out. At the time, I did not want to wait, and sought out another mechanic to fix the issue quickly so I could be on my way. The new mechanic suggested a new transmission and over $5,000 in repairs, My friends, family, and social network advised me to run fast and far from them. (Beware of the Auto Doctor in Spearfish - I Yelped about them.) After sticker shock, and a good night's sleep, I called the Transmission Specialists and scheduled a diagnostic, a week and a 1/2 away, and stayed in a nearby camp ground for about $250 a week. When the day came, Brian test drove my motorhome, checked everything out, and suggested a few minor repairs (less than $500), and some of those could be delayed and performed by another shop. No new transmission, no rebuilt transmission, and no unnecessary repair bills. Thank you, thank you, thank you Transmission Specialists! As a side note, I noticed that progressive technical related-certifications, as well as thank you notes and acknowledgements from the community, graced the walls of the shop. Brian is a very upstanding, honest guy, and sincerely appreciate his knowledge and expertise. You also may wonder why I gave this shop 5 stars, since they made me wait over a week for service. Here is my philosophy on goods and services in general...You may have it good, inexpensive, or quick - pick 2, you don't get to have all three. The Transmission Specialists are good at what they do, and therefore have a wait list, they were also very cost-effective. I was fortunate to have the time to wait for the expertise.

We pulled into an RV park and began the search for someone who could work on the truck. Several local recommendations later we ended up calling Brian at Transmission Specialists. He was backed up with other customers but, since we were broke down while on vacation, agreed to look at the truck to see what he could do. We determined that a remanufactured transmission was the best course of action and Brian recommended two sources. We decided to order one. Took several days to arrive but when it did, Brian put us ahead of his other customers (again) and installed the tranny. We continued our trip to Georgia and returned home to Oregon. Nary a quiver out of the new tranny for the rest of the trip. Brian was courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Transmission Specialists if you are in the area and need service. Thanks, Brian.
