My car broke down passing through this town near I-80. Driving from Chicago to San Diego, I couldn't believe my car didn't even make it out of Illinois without needing repair. It turned out that my gear cable snapped and while I was at a Shell station 10-15 miles away, I could not get my car in gear. AAA helped me get a tow and locate a garage and after talking to several garages over the phone, Al at this garage seemed the most confident that he could fix it. The price was more than fair and done fast. I was back on the road fast and highly recommend this place if you need service near the IL/IA border. Had I not taken it here, I also would not have gone to the HyVee across the street to eat their awesome hash browns.
I will always be thankful to both Banyan Auto Repair and Grisham's Towing, as well as Chevron in Beaver Valley Utah (the mechanic there fixed a separate issue that came up on my way to San Diego) for getting me out of a jam and back on track to get me to San Diego. read more
