Hello! I just wanted to take a moment to thank the gentlemen at this business who helped me out on…read moreFriday, June 23! I came in with a "vibrating" Chevy Avalanche, & the man at the counter took me immediately to his young service tech to get me some help! This young man was so helpful & polite & drove my truck, put it up on the hoist & checked it all out for me! This shop did not have the parts to get me going , but called all over town to see who could help me out!! (I was almost 4 hours away from home!!) They sent over to the Chevy dealer in Oacoma, & they were just as helpful. The truck had to eventually be sold to salvage, but I am overwhelmed at the kindness of everyone in this area, & their helpfulness to get me back home, safely!!! They did not even charge me for their precious time! I am so very grateful to everyone here, & must say that this is one of the cleanest, most organized shops that I have ever been in!

We had a trailer tire fly off and ruin some of the parts while passing through Chamberlin. So I…read morecalled this place to see if they had parts-they did so we took in the broken pieces to get the exact same thing to put the trailer back together. The guy said he had it, we took the old piece in with us even to show him what we needed, we paid and put the door we went. The guy was not overly friendly, seemed kind of rude but whatever, didn't matter- we just needed to get down the road. My husband comes back to the trailer (we are broke down on the bridge with absolutely no shoulder and pouring rain), he gets it all greased and put back together-the idiot at this place sold us the wrong one!!!! So we have to go back-we have to take the wheel and tire this time bc clearly just taking the bearing wouldn't work, to make sure it all fits and goes back together! This old guy didn't even care he sold us the wrong one, didn't apologize or anything. He even asked the guy to re-pact the new bearing since it wasn't raining inside and he just looked at us like we were stupid and offered no help! I wouldn't go back there again! That guy was no help!

I purchased a brand new car in 2009 from them, and more recently a low mileage used truck for over…read more30k. When I found it would not pull my camper I went to trade it at a different dealer and they told me that it had been damaged on the right side. This was a surprise to me as well as it never mentioned it. Yes the damage had been fixed but this still shows up on a Carfax report and I feel effects the trade in value. Also I found out the truck came from an auction in New Mexico . I know by law they didn't have to disclose this because the dollar amount was not enough where they have to report it by law. But I would have appreciated it being a long time customer if they had told me

So thankful he was the one we were connected with.

If Mel opened a shop closer to where I live, it would be my go-to shop!…read more My girlfriend and I were driving through South Dakota on a road trip and right as we went down into Chamberlain to see the nice view of the Missouri river, a "low oil pressure, shut off engine immediately" warning displayed on my dashboard. I pulled over right away opened the hood to find my battery smoking and it smelled like rotten eggs (which is a sign the battery is in a terrible place). This happened later in the evening so we called a local tow service and they dropped it off at Mel's with us hoping he would be able to take a look the next day. This was day one of our week long trip and with a low oil pressue warning we were a bit worried about our situation. I arrived first thing in the morning at Mel's shop to speak with him about my car. I told him the situation and then Mel asked for the keys and went to work right away. There weren't many places to go around his shop (that I knew of) so I hung around while he looked at. After a few minutes he found that the oil pressure sensor was bad. He replaced that and then worked on replacing the battery as it was obviously not ok. When he finished replacing the battery we went for a drive on the highway to make sure the voltage and the oil pressure were fine. It is my understanding that in some cases where the battery has the characteristics as mine did in this case that the alternator could be overcharging it. The voltage and oil pressure were consistenly fine on our ten minute drive so it seemed the only problem was the battery had just met its time. The bill was very reasonable and we had no further problems the rest of the road trip. It was almost nice in some ways to have my car break down when it did so I was able to bring it here to save on repairs. Mel is plesant to talk to, seems like a smart guy, and helped us out in a pinch. As long as Mel is still in business, don't worry too much if your car happens to break down while passing through Chamberlain.

We limped our camper trailer to the off ramp and the dirt lot at the Clark gas station... to discover we had a busted leaf spring on our Jayco 22ft trailer. After a google search, found a number for the one local auto shop, Charley's. They had an on call number and Jordan answered. Very kind. Very helpful. Gave advice. Came up with a plan for the next morning, when they opened back up. Crawled our way to the KOA just down the street (and happens to be conveniently located across the road from the auto shop...!) Jordan and all staff were incredibly polite, helpful, affordable, and efficient in helping us solve our SOS camper break. We are so appreciative.

Driving cross country from Seattle to NYC our Alfa Romeo Stelvio's low oil warning light comes on…read morein Rapid City, SD. Following our manual instructions for adding oil, the warning light goes off, infotainment shows good level. We drive approx. 1 hour and warning lights come on "excessive" oil!!! It's Sunday, we are 300+ miles from Sioux Falls (nearest authorized Alfa Romeo mechanic). AAA will tow but, only 1 of the 3 of us will be allowed to ride in the tow truck! Unacceptable!! Against all recommendations, we drive an additional 140 miles before we are scared to go on. At the Vivian Eastbound Rest stop, a worker gives us info on Charley's Welding & Auto Repair and their mechanic, Jordan as well as King's Inn that is within walking distance of the repair shop. Jordan answered and said he'll be able to do the oil change on Monday at 9:30 am. Nick, from King's Inn was able to accomodate us for the night. Nick also suggested Henriksen Auto Body Towing 24/7 in Presho. Dave Henriksen, owner, assures us that he'll get someone to tow us asap. In no time at all, Don, tow truck driver, shows up, tows our car, with all 3 of us to Charley's. We were told to leave the car in the yard. We get there and Jordan is at the shop!! Unbelivable!! On a Sunday, on his day off!! On Monday, the car is ready before 10am. Jordan, Don, Dave, & Nick you guys are AMAZING!! We truly appreciate all of you!! Highly recommend 100%. These guys are experts in their fields and their hearts are pure gold!!
