Hit some debris on garlock and got a flat. We had to use the spare tire and didn't really want our…read moretrip to be ruined so J&S popped up on google and we went. Joel gave us a good deal and replaced and put on the tire for us. Great service, great guy. 100% recommend. If you're on the 395 area and run into some car troubles definitely give J&S a call.

While driving home from Death Valley National Park, I noticed my front driver side wheel was a bit…read morecrooked. I figured the roundtrip of 54 rough and kidney rattling, tooth grinding miles on the horrible Racetrack Playa road had knocked off my alignment. It got worse. Driving down Trona Road near the intersection with 395, the wheel self destructed at the bearing assembly at 60MPH. It nearly came right off the truck with all the lug nuts intact. The hub blew apart and all the bearings and stuff were turned to shrapnel. The brake disc came out like 6 inches from the housing and cut through the caliper like a buzz saw. I'm lucky to be alive, just barely managed to wrestle the truck off the road without rolling it over. Tire skid marks were everywhere. When I got out of the truck, and immediately realized my whole day had just been ruined. Not driving this thing home! The wheel was sitting diagonally, sticking out several inches from the truck. It had nearly fallen completely off the truck at speed. It was locked up and the tires had been dragged down the pavement. I pulled out my phone, and amazingly had service, so I opened Yelp and searched for the nearest auto repair place. J&S came up, right around the corner from where I was. Joel picked up the phone and just happened to be driving by. He saw my truck out his window, and came right over within a few minutes. Arriving, he immediately jacked up the truck, and disassembled the hub. He found it to be completely destroyed, and so he took me and the parts back to his shop and we tried to source new parts. It turned out the parts were dealer special order only, and it was Sunday afternoon. I'd be stranded there until at least Tuesday if we waited for them. So he told me the options. I needed to get home quickly. So Joel actually went out of his way to get me an absolutely incredible deal on a tow all the way back to my hometown, which was two and a half hours away! He also waited there with me for the tow truck for over an hour, and then gave me another incredible deal on the labor. He also accepts credit and debit cards from his mobile phone right on the side of the road, which is a huge plus, especially in an industry and area that is often known for only accepting cash or checks - both of which you may not have while traveling through the middle of the desert. Joel is a really humble and hardworking guy, and definitely someone who actually cares about the outcome for his customers, and not merely his own bottom line. When you're in a jam, the last thing you want to be worried about is getting taken advantage of by a mechanic, so finding a reliable and trustworthy one is a must. When you're in a jam, this is the guy you want to call. Even though we couldn't find the parts in time, he helped me and my truck get home safely and quickly, and I was sleeping in my own warm bed by that night. I'm at home safe and sound now, and the truck is in my local shop for the week while we wait on those special order parts. If you read some of the other 5 star reviews, you will see that this is not a one time thing. Joel has helped many people in the past in similar situations. I'm tremendously grateful that he helped me, and he will probably be able to help you too.
