Hey guys, quick update. It's definitely been an interesting few months. We are working though the back logged work as fast as possible. As it stands JR is the only one turning wrenches in the shop full time. He had another procedure on his back on Monday and is recovering well. We can't express our appreciation well enough to those who have been patiently waiting for your turn. If your project is an emergency for you, or you feel it is more important than the projects ahead of yours, please take it elsewhere. We try to move as many quick or less time consuming projects or work in and out as fast as possible. Vintage equipment or large scale projects require much more time and effort. We are of course subject to the availability of parts. Its becoming quite concerning the amount of normally available parts becoming back ordered. We have no control over this. We have earned our reputation by being small family owned business, based on trust and integrity for the last six years of full time operations. We love our customers and appreciate the support we have received from our little community so thank you all! For questions or concerns please call us 208-624-3031. GO COUGARS!!!!!!!

Just got back from a service call in Ashton helping a customer with some calibration settings. And yes everyone was in their PPE.

Many people have told us that we can't improve our employees morale with pizza. However, in recent and completely anonymous polling our employees do infact prefer pizza over paper with their names and random numbers printed on them. Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

Our phones were down today for a bit, but they are back up and running now! If we missed you earlier, please reach back out!

Also check out this awesome engine from Kill Devil Diesel that is getting reinstalled in a 7.3 Ford. It’s all shining and pretty!

Nobody talks about the nights you stay after closing because you don’t want to leave a job half-finished.

Nobody talks about the pain in your back, the cuts on your hands, or the broken tools you keep using anyway.

But every mechanic knows that quiet moment at 11PM when the shop is empty…

and you’re still there, doing the job because your name is on it.
There’s pride in that loneliness.
