Very satisfied!!!!We were stuck on top of Fish creek summit on the shoulder with trailer. They came and rescued us at night in the middle of a blizzard . I would call this place any time again. I would highly recommend this company in time of need. Very courteous and fast. Jessie

Very happy with pricing and labor rates to have truck tire repaired this past Sunday. We paid $190.00 to have a service truck come out to Fort Hall Casino exit on I-15 to have a truck tire fixed. I will call these guys again in time of need. Could not ask for a better place to brake down. Played a little casino while they were fixing the tire. Sign

**Edit** this is downright laughable. Owner of a car shop with TWO STARS proceed to respond to the reviews of everyone he cheated and inform them it was somehow "their fault". Clean up your act, man and maybe you'll start seeing some positive reviews. You have no one but yourself to blame for two stars.
original review:
rotten SCAMMER will lie to you and tell you your car is junk so he can try to buy it from you. He preys on poor souls whose cars break down on I-15. I can honestly say I have never worked someone who was more rude, dishonest, unprofessional, and downright belligerent. This guy is a liar and a thief. He is unprofessional, makes up his prices on the spot, nickels and dimes you and will even charge you outrageous amounts for storage if you have to leave your car there overnight. STEER CLEAR and go with Shane in lava Hot Springs even if you have to pay more to get your car towed there.
He told me my Tacoma (which I'm selling today for $8500) would only be worth 3-4k in good condition so replacing the timing belt would be a waste and that I should just sell it to him for scrap. Instead of having him repair it. I spoke with a local friend and he said he tells many stranded travelers this. When I insisted on repairing it, he said he "could" do it but "didn't want to" and quoted me $1400. I asked him to take it to Shane's for me and charge me.
I gave him my credit card information and told him to let me know when the car arrived in Lava hot springs. I check back a week or two later and he says he doesn't take credits cards so he just didn't take it up. But he never notified me! Then he charges me HUNDREDS for "storage fees" for when he kept my car without my knowledge. I talked him down from $30/ night to $20 a night, paid him in full, and got the truck to Shane's.
Shane quickly repaired it for less than $500.

This place is a Big Fraud. 1 used tire for $245 plus labour to put it $170 plus tax . $429. Ridiculous. Didnt give the estimate first and start putting tire. DONT GO HERE>

Very strange, I called in to get a quote on a potential tow from Lava Hot Springs to Pocatello. He asked all sorts of questions about the tow, when I needed it done by and what kind of car. Once I answered his questions he quickly told me they don't do tows and immediately hung up.
EDIT*
As a local that has lived in this area for the last 17 years I would recommended anyone experiencing difficulties to take their business to Shanes service in Lava Hot Springs. Not only will he be much cheaper and easier to work with, but most importantly the service will be much more effective. After speaking with a few locals this place is very well known as a scam in which the owner preys on people from out of town that have broken down along I-15. Very shady business methods DO NOT TRUST.
