I was never contacted about the damage and the exhaust was never fixed until I was back and they gave me the car back with damages never being fixed. Sent the car back to get the grill fixed and so the bumper would stay on properly and headlights would mount. Called frequently and got ignored or told "we don't have time". After months of poor service and quality I got tired of playing games. Car still has damaged paint to hood, bumper and fairings. Lack of integrity and responsibility.

The connections were secure but I discovered that in addition to the electric fault the water pump was leaking. I called South Side Service and explained my predicament. Pat told me that if I could get the car to him he would look at it. I was able to push start the car and drive to his shop. Pat called around to locate a water pump and starter without success. There were no parts available. Not even in Rapid City. We drove the car up onto the hoist and Pat agreed to look at it Saturday. Pat called me Saturday morning and stated that he got the starter working by striking with a hammer to free the brushes. Not a permanent 'fix', but it started the car. Bravo! He was able to stop the water pump leak with a bottle of radiator stop leak. Another temporary 'fix' but good enough for me to try returning to Minneapolis. I stopped at the Chevy dealer in Rapid City to inquire about parts availability. The dealer also stated that there were no parts in the entire region. I continued on to Minneapolis without any problem. The point of this review is to commend Pat of South Side Service for doing what he could on a Saturday. Thank you, Pat. Lee

Ashley brought out a tire rim they used for a step stool and it worked perfectly! She even let us take it with us so we could do errands while they did maintenance on the van. She called and gave me an update on the work and also called to let me know they were done. This shop is the best!

They didn't try to push the most expensive or extra stuff I didn't need, exactly what I needed, recommended something else and I ended up getting it cause it would help my car in the long run. I got all 4 tires replaced and an alignment. Also they let me bring my dog which is huge for us cause he has horrible separation anxiety. Seriously, 11/10 would recommend to anyone, super fast, reliable, explained everything, and prices were reasonable with market value.

They didn't even charge me for the visit! I stopped at the Les Schwab in Mitchell to get a re-torque on the lug nuts. When I pulled up into the parking lot a guy from the garage stall he was working in literally came running out to see how he could help. He did the re-torque, no charge once again, and sent me on my way. That is good service at both places.

SCOTT seems to be a very dry no nonsense person, but after a few minutes of conversation about tire rotation and his experience, I was glad I confirmed that tire rotation was done even though he didn't do it. there was no charge for looking at my Dully.

He sent the tow truck and noted he would start on it asap and if he needed to would work thru the weekend to get the problem resolved. It was at his shop late thursday eve and by 130ish pm friday he had it repaired and ready to go. His cost was more than fair. Cant say enough about the excellent service and wonderful work.

The Transmission Specialists saved me thousands of dollars, and I am extremely grateful to Brian…read more After driving hard through the hills in South Dakota on a very hot day in a 1986 (vintage) Toyota Motorhome, I experienced some mechanical problems. The first place I went to help was Southside Auto Repair in nearby Deadwood, SD (See my very positive Yelp about them). After fixing an electrical issue, I was still concerned about my engine/transmission. Southside referred me to the Transmission Specialists. I went to the Transmission Specialists and their backlog of work was a week out. At the time, I did not want to wait, and sought out another mechanic to fix the issue quickly so I could be on my way. The new mechanic suggested a new transmission and over $5,000 in repairs, My friends, family, and social network advised me to run fast and far from them. (Beware of the Auto Doctor in Spearfish - I Yelped about them.) After sticker shock, and a good night's sleep, I called the Transmission Specialists and scheduled a diagnostic, a week and a 1/2 away, and stayed in a nearby camp ground for about $250 a week. When the day came, Brian test drove my motorhome, checked everything out, and suggested a few minor repairs (less than $500), and some of those could be delayed and performed by another shop. No new transmission, no rebuilt transmission, and no unnecessary repair bills. Thank you, thank you, thank you Transmission Specialists! As a side note, I noticed that progressive technical related-certifications, as well as thank you notes and acknowledgements from the community, graced the walls of the shop. Brian is a very upstanding, honest guy, and sincerely appreciate his knowledge and expertise. You also may wonder why I gave this shop 5 stars, since they made me wait over a week for service. Here is my philosophy on goods and services in general...You may have it good, inexpensive, or quick - pick 2, you don't get to have all three. The Transmission Specialists are good at what they do, and therefore have a wait list, they were also very cost-effective. I was fortunate to have the time to wait for the expertise.

We pulled into an RV park and began the search for someone who could work on the truck. Several local recommendations later we ended up calling Brian at Transmission Specialists. He was backed up with other customers but, since we were broke down while on vacation, agreed to look at the truck to see what he could do. We determined that a remanufactured transmission was the best course of action and Brian recommended two sources. We decided to order one. Took several days to arrive but when it did, Brian put us ahead of his other customers (again) and installed the tranny. We continued our trip to Georgia and returned home to Oregon. Nary a quiver out of the new tranny for the rest of the trip. Brian was courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Transmission Specialists if you are in the area and need service. Thanks, Brian.
