Our driver side tag axle had sheared off studs due to horrid road conditions on I93 in AZ heading from Las Vegas, down to I 40 (which is only marginally better, AZ roads are the worst in the nation). After searching for days trying to find a shop that could help, we found this shop, limped over here and they got us in first thing in the morning. I can't recommend this shop enough.
The mechanics here are knowledgeable and highly skilled. They don't waste time, or give you the run around. They are up front with their prices and give you an estimate before starting the job so you know what you are in for. If you are in Flagstaff, and can limp over to Galup, NM., do so. It will save you thousands, and the work will be done correctly and honestly.
The only con I can think of isn't their fault, but their vendors have issues getting parts shipped directly, so if they need to order parts it might delay you a couple of days, but this isn't in any way the fault of the shop.
It is obvious from their work ethic that their main concern is getting you on the road as quickly and safely as possible. They are Detroit Diesel and CAT certified. Their hourly rate is 144/hr. Everywhere we contacted in Flagstaff was 195/hr. And we left several places there because their mechanics were just standing around talking and smoking, but not working.
We are looking at an $1800 estimate for a new rim, 10 new lugs, 10 new studs, tire mount and balance. (We have since ordered the 1" Impact, and torque wrench so we can self rescue in the future.)
