    Recently a friend and I were driving to Rapid City when we drove over a truck tire that damaged the…read morebottom or our car. We called AAA, who called Tony. He was at our side within the hour. He loaded the car onto the truck and off we went to Rapid City. After a 3 hour drive, lots of suggestions regarding what we should see during our stay in the area, and some other funny stories, we arrived at the Nissan dealer, unloaded the car, and he insisted on dropping us at our hotel so we were safe. A few days later he called to ensure that our car was fixed, that there were no further issues during our trip, and of course inquired about the sights. Thank you Tony for helping to make our holiday a good one. I would highly recommend Tony's Custom and Repair Service.

In no time Tony was at our side with our decommissioned land boat on the back of his truck. The AAA rep had asked Tony to take us to a small town just west of us about 30 miles, to a GM dealership no less, thank the Grass Gods of South Dakota that it was Tony who picked us up. Tony informed us of the fact that the GM dealership doesn't actually carry windshields in stock, they have to order them, which can take upwards of 5 days. Tony recommended a friend of his in not so near Pierre, which was still within the AAA 100 mile tow range. Boy, Tony was right, the next morning we drove the one block to his friends auto glass shop, and had a new pheasant guard installed within 3 hours... Thank you Tony, you saved us a hell of a lot of time.

My family was heading east on I-90 from visiting Badlands National Park when the tire pressure warning showed low tire pressure in one of the tires. I pulled off highway and noticed a nail or screw in the tire and knew we had to drive on the donut to get somewhere that could fix the flat. Unfortunately we were 900 miles from home and it was the Sunday before the 4th of July at 3pm in the afternoon so we figured we were going to be taking rural highways to the nearest large city of Sioux Falls in hope of finding some place open on the 4th of July. My wife called two of the closest places we found on Google maps and both had recordings that they were out until after the holidays. To our surprise, Vernard picked up the phone and said that they were closed, but to come on in and he'd take a look. We had to drive about an hour at 50mph on the spare tire and the gentleman not only waited for us, but called to check if we were OK during our hour drive. When we arrived, he had the tire fully repaired within 20 minutes of us arriving and then charged us his standard tire repair rate on a day when his shop was actually closed. We thanked him and gave him more than what he was trying to charge us and we were then on our way. A small 1.5 hour deviation from a family road trip was so worth it and showed myself and my family the importance of being kind humans to each other and served as a reminder to always go out of your way to help others in need.

    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.
