About S & J Auto, Flagstaff, AZ Auto Repair
A small tire and repair shop east of Flagstaff, run on one simple rule: tell people the truth about their vehicle.
Rick's shop
Out on Townsend-Winona, doing it right.
S & J Auto is a tire, repair and towing shop at 13673 Townsend-Winona Rd, just off I-40 at the Winona exit. It is Rick's shop, and most people who leave a review mention him by name.
What they mention most is honesty. A family stranded ten hours from home after their Camry hit debris on the 40 wrote that Rick helped inspect the damage, gave honest advice, and kept his word on storing the car for two weeks for a minimal fee. Another customer's brother, a mechanic back in Missouri, said we could have taken advantage and didn't.
That's the standard. Diagnose first, explain it plainly, and let you make the call.
Where we are
Flagstaff, Arizona. Don't forget Winona.
That line from the old Route 66 song is about this stretch of road. Winona sits east of Flagstaff where the old highway and I-40 run side by side, between Walnut Canyon and Twin Arrows. Our shop is here, a few minutes from Exit 211.
For locals in Winona, Doney Park and Timberline-Fernwood, that makes us the closest shop around without crossing town. For travelers, we're the first exit with help after something goes wrong east of Flagstaff.
How we work
Four promises, kept.
- Diagnose firstWe find the real problem before recommending any fix.
- Tell you straightWhat it needs now, what can wait, and what isn't worth doing.
- Keep our wordIf we say it, we do it, down to storing a stranded family's car for two weeks.
- Get you back on the roadLike the motorhome that pulled in on a blown tire and left within the hour.
In their words
What customers say about Rick.
“My mom and sister hit a pretty sizeable item in the road going East on the 40. They got towed to his shop, and it turned out that the undercarriage of the Camry was totaled. Rick verbally agreed to let us park it at his shop for 2 weeks for a minimal fee and when it came time to pick it up he kept his word. He helped my husband inspect the damage and gave honest advice. He genuinely saved us while we were in a bind, 10 hours away from home. If we could give him 100 Stars we would. Thank you Rick for your help and for your honesty, we sincerely appreciate you.”
