So we were on a road trip when our transmission went out just before Grand Island, Nebraska on our way home to Illinois from Utah. We didn't have the money to pay for repairs on the spot so we planned on dropping the Tahoe off at a shop and take the Greyhound home. We got in contact with them and told them our situation and they told us to bring it in.
They allowed us to leave it there, gave us a ride to the bus station, kept in touch with us, repaired and then held the Tahoe for 2 months without charge until we could arrange to pick it up. They went above and beyond and I appreciate how much they helped us. I wish I could find a shop in my area like this. Sadly the quality of service they provide is hard to find these days. I give them 10 Stars acrosss the board.

Friendly and helpful, these guys were very considerate and explained everything I need to know! Also, the reason I had to do business with them, is because I was helping some veterans that had broke down on the interstate. They were VERY vet friendly and helped me get them back going quick and even expressed their gratitude to all veterans as we left. I was really impressed! Thanks and I know those guys we helped are grateful, also!

I was driving from Colorado to Minnesota pulling a trailer and having issues with my transmission. I stopped at 2 other mechanics along the way who all told me I needed to replace Gear Pressure Switches with a minimum cost of 500$ plus with installation. I called BG&S and spoke with Bill, he took time to understand what was going on with my vehicle and politely informed me, I was likely just pulling to much weight for my vehicle and that was causing my transmission to over heat.
He discouraged me from buying the parts and having the work done. He was right on! I listen to his advice geared down, kept a constant speed and try to not let my car shift as much. I made it all the way back to Minnesota without anymore issues and my car is still running perfectly. I highly recommend calling and speaking with Bill and he will tell you the truth and try to help you as much as he can all while maintaining honesty. Great service!

Traveling from Minnesota to California our transmission went out on the hwy. Searched for a Walmart, then started asking locals "where to?" Jesse from Street Motives sent us to Bill. They were closing but told us to come back in the morning. 8am Bills son sees us walks up tell us the plan. 6pm that evening we're paying them a FRACTION of what people charge, ready to hit the road again. I thank them and their professional customer care and the timely manner this was done. Definitely a good shop.
