I have a 1950 CJ3A that I bought way back in 1974. I recently sold another car and decided to use…read morethe proceeds to get the CJ back on the road. I ran across Boise 4X4, called them and explained the items I needed done, brakes, a broken stud in the block(fuel pump mount) drain the bad gas and rebuild the carb, and lastly an odd noise from underneath that sounded like a bearing going out. They said, no problem we can fix it, so I made an appointment. They mentioned that it would take about a week. This was red flag number one. I grew up working on cars and knew it would be more like 2 to 3 weeks but I figured they were just being optimistic. I dropped my Jeep off on 5/2/2025 at 9:30 AM (I live 1 1/23 hours from their shop). They told me they would update me on any progress. 5/7/2025 I received a text from Boise 4x4 asking for payment for brake parts. Specifically $653.58. This was for a master cylinder and all 4 wheel cylinders. Parts I could get online for about $190. Red flag number two. However I was willing to pay as I didn't really want to do the job myself. 5/22/2025 Since I hadn't gotten an update, I called Boise 4x4 to find out where they were at and was told they needed to order brake shoes. Not sure why they didn't know this when they ordered the other brake parts? New shoes/pads are usually a given when doing a brake job. Red flag number three. They did however mention they had replaced the broken stud and had to remove the drivers front fender to do so. 6/2/2025 Still no updates so I called again. This time I was told they had to order Brake drums. Seriously? Red flag number four. This pattern is starting to look like BS. They did mention they had drained the bad gas and cleaned the carb and it was running a little better. I was inclined to pick up my Jeep at this point but since I was going to be out of town for awhile we agreed on giving then two more weeks. Until 6/16. They promised it would be finished by then, and they were making it their number one priority. 6/13/2025 I called to remind them I was picking up my Jeep the following Monday and was told they had just magically received confirmation the brake drums shipped that morning. What a coincidence. Red flag number five. 6/16/2025 I picked up my Jeep. Boise 4x4 said they were sorry and it had just gotten away from them. No brake parts had been installed, and it was running worse than when I took it to them. On top of that the fender they had removed had a scuff mark and a 2 inch long scratch, down to bare metal. These guys are completely incompetent, and showed little remorse at wasting my time and money. The only saving grace is they didn't charge me for what little they did do and they did refund the cost of the parts ordered but not installed. Side note: For $659.95 I ordered an entire master brake rebuild kit from Vintage Jeep Parts. It includes wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake shoes, springs, and drums. 6 Weeks down the drain...I cannot say it loudly enough, AVOID Boise 4x4 at all costs!

We've had oil changes, brake changes and other more difficult work done by them - although I can't recall what and they are always very knowledgeable and they get it done at a reasonable cost.
