Talk about a good way to ruin a vacation! We had our alternator completely quit just before we got to our destination in Hill City. We figured we were trapped for days. Instead, these great guys got the part in the morning in Rapid City, worked on it right away, and got us rolling by 2pm! Unbelievable! And what a vacation-saver! After reviewing pricing, they were even less expensive than it would have been to do it back home in Colorado.

On vacation from New Jersey, my VW Jetta TDI required auto body repair. Mike was able to…read moreaccommodate us right away, committed to complete the work by the end of our stay, and personally picked up parts to make good on his promise. My car trailer was also banged up, and Mike located a fender for it. He fixed the one on the other side before it became a problem. Back in the RV on the way home, towing my VW on the trailer, I'm pleased that professionals at Rt. 16 Auto Body were able to fix everything on time, at a good price, and with high quality.

DJ's was recommended by an auto parts place and Ski was able to get parts shipped to him from out of state and had us back on the road. He is one of the most honest and hard working mechanics I have ever met. I didn't realize it until I got the bill but he came in under his estimate and passed those savings to us (several hundred dollars). He kept me informed on the progress and showed and explained all the repairs that needed to be done. I wish he was closer to my home, I would use him for all my auto repairs. One more thing, Ski called me a couple days after the repair to check on us and make sure we made it home alright.

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.

I made the mistake of stopping here and politely asking the mechanic for a little help. In response, he got increasingly angry, said it would be too much setup for him, and emphatically told me that he would never let anyone borrow his tools, "never, never." I certainly did not expect free service, but I was surprised by the hostility over such a small request. It left a sour note on an otherwise good day.

Sent the car back to get the grill fixed and so the bumper would stay on properly and headlights would mount. Called frequently and got ignored or told "we don't have time".

I had called around to several places and no one would help on such a short notice. Tyler didn't hesitate in saying he'd do his best to help me. After about 15 minutes they took my car in the garage. Two incredibly knowledgeable mechanics started working on it. They end up staying a bit past their closing time, apparently because they were helping me. I can't thank Ty and his crew enough. When everyone said "NO" Tyler said "yes he'd help me", and he never hesitated. I was entirely impressed by the mechanics who helped me. They were extremely knowledgeable, down to Earth and yet professional. Tyler has my business.

Called CJ's and spoke to Cecil. He said he could replace the starter today (first miracle) and gave us options on price. When we arrived they dropped everything to work on our truck. About 30 minutes later the truck is running. Cecil came in and said it was just a couple of the bolts holding the starter on that came out. He replaced them and $56 later we are on the road. Even gave us a military discount. We highly recommend CJ's! They not only accommodated us by working on us right away, but also did only what was needed. We pray God's blessings on you and your crew Cecil! Thank you so much!!!

The connections were secure but I discovered that in addition to the electric fault the water pump was leaking. I called South Side Service and explained my predicament. Pat told me that if I could get the car to him he would look at it. I was able to push start the car and drive to his shop. Pat called around to locate a water pump and starter without success. There were no parts available. Not even in Rapid City. We drove the car up onto the hoist and Pat agreed to look at it Saturday. Pat called me Saturday morning and stated that he got the starter working by striking with a hammer to free the brushes. Not a permanent 'fix', but it started the car. Bravo! He was able to stop the water pump leak with a bottle of radiator stop leak. Another temporary 'fix' but good enough for me to try returning to Minneapolis. I stopped at the Chevy dealer in Rapid City to inquire about parts availability. The dealer also stated that there were no parts in the entire region. I continued on to Minneapolis without any problem. The point of this review is to commend Pat of South Side Service for doing what he could on a Saturday. Thank you, Pat. Lee
