Due to the current conditions of the outbreak we are going to close for the week of March 23rd and only work on the cars currently in the lot. Starting March 30 th it will be by appointment only and is to be dropped off. WAITING WITH THE VEHICLE IS NOT AN OPTION. Drop the vehicle outside the gate and keys in the mailslot on the door on the red brick building. Text me a list of the work you want done and the lic plate # so we have it. We will be using sterilizing procedures and are not responsible for any damage that may be done from that process. When work is complete and you come to the shop to pick it up I will meet you at the gate to exchange keys, pay, and receipt. We ill be sterilizing both when it comes in and after its finished as a double protection. Sorry for any inconvenience but it is tough times and EVERYONE needs to do their part. Stay Healthy Everyone.

Lookin for another good mechanic, message me if you or someone you know is lookin for work... We have plenty... Just not enough people to get all the work done....

due to the bitter cold coming for tomorrow, we will not be in the shop on wed. hope everyone stays safe and warm, and if you have to go anywhere make sure to throw a sleeping bag or thick blanket in the car in case something happens...

As of may 1st, our shop on state street has been up and running for a year, our shop labor rate will be increasing to 60/hr. This still makes us at the least 5/hr cheaper then any other certified shop in Rockford, on up depending on other shops rates. We have been told for many years that our rate is way to cheap so we are just adjusting a little bit. We thank you for your business and we hope to have another good year. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you would still like the lower rate make sure you make an appointment before may 1st. Thank you and have a great day.....

The shop will be closed today, not in honor of columbus, but in order to have one of our last outside demonstrations in the village for the kids that are off school today. Several other states have cancelled columbus day and renamed it indigenous peoples day... That is what we celebrate.... Not some guy who was lost at sea after being sent away from his country who found some land with people on it and tried to claimed it for someone else.. if it wasnt for the natives here, he and his men would of died.. so that being said.... Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.. we will be in the village at lockwood park from at least 10 to 2... Maybe till 4(cant remember), theres a gravel path at the bottom of the cookhouse parking lot that will bring you right down to our village... Hope to see you there...

Been a slow month... heres todays special... regular oil change and tire rotation $25... normally $30... and free brake inspection with the oil change and rotation.. give me a call and come on in... 3 lifts open and waiting to be used...

if anyone knows of any cars that someone is going to get rid of for scrap, i have a standing offer of 300 if there is a clean title, and prefer it to move itself but not required. Please let me know... I buy cars and fix them and resell them. There may even be a thank you tip for the info if it pans out well... just call/txt/msg me with any info that you may have, maybe a neighbor who has had a car sitting for a couple years or whatever... or if you have that clunker taking up space in your garage... or in your driveway and don't want the city to complain... just sell them cheap to me and we can make everyone happy... thank you... or if you need work done to another vehicle, we can trade out work for another vehicle to, just let me know what you need and what you have to trade...

Also I would like to say we are the only Native American owed and operated shop in the Rockford Area. We have been open now since October of 2010. I am Native American, and I am very active in the NATIVE AMERICAN AWARENESS COMMITTEE here in Rockford. When I bring in extra help for when the work is plenty I also call on my Native friends and help to put them to work. This is one of those MOM and POP places where you can come in, sit down, and not have to worry that your getting screwed. I would rather have you come back for more work then to rob you on one job. My shop labor rate is $50 an hour compared to most shops which are $65 an hr. or higher. HELP SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES and help to keep jobs IN Rockford.

SNOW DAY.... if you need me I'll be working from home.... which means tow it in and I'll get it tomorrow... if I cant safely get there then I don't see a reason to go there... if you need a tow truck, ALL Model Towing 815-540-9616, he can tow it to the shop if it is in town for $35. and this is not a today special, that's the everyday low price. if you need to get a hold of me my number is above and on the page, and all over my fb... Have a great day out there and stay safe, remember its better to get there late and in one piece then to get in a wreck or ditch and be really late...
