I made the huge mistake of leaving my family, friends and home here in Bay View to buy north of here move my kids to the country after the death of their sweet uncle to the first batch of fentanyl laced heroin in 2006. You dont know what youve got until its gone After 17 years we are fleeing the grossly corrupt small town politics to get back home to Bay View with my tail between my legs. I needed help getting a trailer hitch assembly installed onto my van so I can rent a trailer immediately! Who can afford $1 a mile for a U-Haul truck on top of all the other fees? The quotes we got were all over the place so out of desperation I had the parts delivered directly and my boys and I spent hours trying to install it myself. Embarrassingly realizing Wisconsins salty roads had messed up the pre-made holes in the frame and there was zero chance I could do this without much better tools and knowledge I started frantically calling around racing against the clock. Its not easy to get in somewhere fast with a botched job. I was so lucky to find Sids place on KK. Having known the family that built this place decades ago the location caught my eye. Im so glad I called them. Legit the best mechanic Ive dealt with in years! They treated me and the family I brought with me like wed known them for decades. Chris, the front desk guy grabbed the mechanic who was thoughtful enough to call me back so I wouldnt be stuck there waiting for him to have time after his current job. Not only did we have a great time once there chatting with all the staff, but they even started trouble shooting how to help our friend with a totally off topic issue. I noticed Chris knew every client that walked in that door by name AND treated them just as considerately. And Adamgreat handshake and did such a great job with this task! He made sure to explain things to me (not mansplaining either!)and charged a very fair pricewhich I really appreciate because I talked enough about my life they could have seen a chance to up charge rather than use their own reasoning to underhand how broke I now actually am! I truly dont know what I would have done without these guys and will be back for sure!! When leaving I noticed a novelty item I had in my childhood in their office and Chris must have seen my jaw drop because he gave it to me!! He couldnt have known what this meant to me and why. There are few towns in this county with people like us, folks. Having true character and skill like these guys have is what has made this area so amazing. Im so glad I saw the review about Adam rushing to help rescue a toddler locked in someones car and called these guys right away. Hopefully this review also opens the path for more people to find their way into this shop. They deserve your business!!!

My truck needed work. I dropped it off and was quoted 550. I went to pick it up and they told me 750. I told him about my original quote. Then he said he'd re-crunch the numbers and said 650. Sure, that's fine. I asked, what happened to cause the increase in price?, he didn't have an answer. He "crunched" the numbers again and said 600. This guy was making up numbers right in front of me. Zero merit. Just wanted to see how much he could get out of me. I don't trust this place. Never went back.
