His scanner actually pulled the Porsche specific fault codes - something most indy shops can't do, let alone one in rural SD. Unfortunately this repair called for a transmission replacement, but when I had to rent a Penske trailer to get the car back to California, he inspected the entire tow setup himself. I'd never towed before and his pre-trip check probably saved me a much worse day on the I-90. If you break down near the Badlands, Jerry's the call.

Like many people, we were driving from Rapid City to the Badlands for a sunrise when multiple of…read moreour check engine and brake lights came flashing on. After watching the sunrise, we frantically scrambled looking for mechanics in the area, with Wall being the closest city. Upon scouring some of the reviews online, it seems like there was rave reviews about the Badland Automotive, and they proved to be true and correct! We got there a few minutes before it opened, and the owner pulled up a little bit after 8:00 a.m. he briefly explained what he thought the problem to be, went forth and used his diagnostic tools to assess the state of our car, and then reset some of the computers using his tool. Before we knew it, our Subaru was fixed! He gave us some helpful tips for the future, we paid him at a very fair rate for his services, and then we were on the way. We were so grateful for his help on our road trip! Five stars all around for service, promptness, and communication!

I was very stressed not wanting to drive around Rushmore and Needles Hwy with no brake pads and figuring I wouldn't be able to get the van into a shop for at least a day or two. Also, not knowing the area I was worried about getting over charged because I was in a tight spot. I saw that CJ's had good reviews and opened earlier than any other shop. I was there at 720 the morning after getting to town. They got me in immediately and had my van fixed up with new pads and rotors in about an hour and for less than I paid at my usual shop back home! They saved our vacation! Friendly, fast and honest. Highly recommend. Thanks to all the guys at CJ's!

I had called around to several places and no one would help on such a short notice. Tyler didn't hesitate in saying he'd do his best to help me. After about 15 minutes they took my car in the garage. Two incredibly knowledgeable mechanics started working on it. They end up staying a bit past their closing time, apparently because they were helping me. I can't thank Ty and his crew enough. When everyone said "NO" Tyler said "yes he'd help me", and he never hesitated. I was entirely impressed by the mechanics who helped me. They were extremely knowledgeable, down to Earth and yet professional. Tyler has my business.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to find a battery, and I have to had my bike towed to Rapid (which cost me a pretty penny). I really appreciated that they tried to help me out in any way they could before jumping to towing. They were all friendly and professional, and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

They told us we couldn't drive it more than 25 mph and no way to get an appointment in Rapid City at 10am that day. So we agreed to cancel our plans and stay overnight for the part to be delivered. The next day they again made us wait several hours to know what was happening and then claimed "they" sent the wrong part- even though it was a problem on the left and order form was for a part on the right. Another hour of them trying to make the wrong part fit and they gave up, gave back our vehicle as it was. They also covered the inside of my vehicle- door & steering wheel in grease. They then said go ahead and drive it 60mph to Rapid City and I'm sure someone can fix it there today (noon by now) meaning they lied the day before to get our business. They did have free wifi in the waiting room but I wish I could have the 26 hours back we wasted on this place.
