On Friday, May 31, 2024, my wife and I blew out a spark plug on Interstate 220 two miles out of…read morePort Matilda! Not truly knowing what had happened, we were extremely nervous, helpless, and needed attention! We limped into town with a loud, sputtering truck and a 30' camping trailer. We drove in through and were heading back out through this small town when we pulled into a trucking company parking lot. A man sitting in his PU truck said, "go to the station on the corner - they'll take good care of you". That was an understatement! Busy to the max, the store manager, Darin, with a cast on his ankle from a 3-day-old surgery, checked out our damage, diagnosed the problem instantly; but said they had no leeway in their schedule to do any kind of a fix for us. He called another shop in town and got the same response. After thinking it over and probably realizing the gravity of our situation (we weren't going far the way we were), he offered us a mechanic to look at it after a while and see how bad the damage was and IF a temporary fix would be a possibility. Scott, the chosen mechanic, after almost 4 hours, had put a temporary spark plug adaption on the cylinder that had the plug blow out and we were able to travel once more. We were almost 200 miles from home but made it and can now have our truck fixed with a more permanent procedure. Darin and Scott were life-savers to us and we really appreciated their generosity, knowledge, and professionalism! A GREAT STORE WITH GREAT EMPLOYEES!!

Don't waste your time with any of the mainstream auto service places, he's worth 10 of those "certified mechanics." My Subaru was making this weird rattling noise that I couldn't pinpoint. Not wanting to spend an arm and leg at the dealer, I took my car to Midas and Tire town. What a waste of time, none of them could tell me what was wrong. I then found Derek and took it to him, and within 5 minutes of inspecting underneath the car, he found the source - a control arm bushing. He charges very reasonable prices for his fast, 5-star work too. I will definitely be taking my car to him for any future maintenance. Love his sweet doggie too!

We had previously taken my wife's car here for an inspection and felt like we were significantly overcharged, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, I will no longer be giving them any business after my experience this week. I had to have my car towed from the highway last week. They were the closest tow company and I just had it towed right to their garage, hoping that it would save me some money. Through a combination of their expensive parts distributor and the shadiness of the garage, I felt like I was being overcharged by $150-$300 (I know, big range) for a part. I called around and got pricing for that part myself and disputed the cost with the garage. They tried to pass it off on the parts distributor overcharging them, but only showed me the list price on the invoice, while intentionally hiding the net price. I spoke with the parts distributor who, while still significantly more expensive than other places, definitely did not charge them full list price. Miraculously, $150 disappeared off my bill when I spoke with the garage again and pressed further, since I knew the actual cost of the part. I ended up paying about what I "should" have (minus the still too expensive part), but if I didn't know any better I could have really been taken to the cleaners. This all felt very shady and I wouldn't feel confident recommending Dobson's to anyone.

My husband took the next exit which led to Lykens. He went inside to see if he could get me some ice because the pain was intense. He came out with a baggy of ice wrapped in a washcloth.

I am sending back the laundered washcloth with my heartfelt gratitude. When you've just been in an accident you are a bit frazzled and I'm sorry I didn't go in and thank her.
