Wendell is dairy country. The Trojans play Friday night football, the cheese plant runs around the clock, and most folks we see from town are running a pickup that doubles as a work truck — pulling feed trailers Monday through Saturday and the kids' 4-H stock trailer on Sunday. That kind of use chews through brakes, ball joints, U-joints, and clutches faster than the manufacturer's maintenance schedule expects, and we see the same wear patterns over and over.
Between the dairies south of town, the cheese and food-processing plants along US-30, and the farms that fan out toward the Snake River canyon, Wendell runs on diesel. Cummins, Powerstroke, Duramax — they all roll into our bay covered in the same fine dust that gets into every air filter, every cabin filter, every alternator. We know what to check before it strands you on a county road.

Getting to us from Wendell
From downtown Wendell, take US-30 east about 8 miles — straight shot into Jerome. Or hop on I-84 east and exit at Jerome. We're off Tucker Ct, just north of the old Lincoln Ave alignment. There's room for trailers, RVs, and dual-rear-wheel trucks to maneuver — we work on big rigs every day, so a one-ton fits with room to spare.
Built around farm and dairy schedules
We're open 7 days a week, 7 AM to 10 PM. That's not a typo — we know cows don't take Sundays off and harvest doesn't stop for shop hours. Drop a truck off after the evening milking, we work on it overnight or first thing, and you pick it up before the next shift. For fleet accounts we set up regular service rotations so the whole line stays legal and reliable without anyone having to think about it.
Honest about what needs fixing
Farm trucks live hard, and there's always a list of things that could be done. We tell you what actually has to be fixed now, what can wait a season, and what we'd watch. Written estimate before any work starts, phone call before we add anything to the bill. Call (208) 696-9888 or book online.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your shop from Wendell?
About 8 miles east on US-30 / I-84 — most Wendell customers are at our Jerome bay in 12 minutes. Plenty of room for feed trucks, dual-rear-wheel pickups, and trailers.
Do you work on dairy fleet trucks and farm pickups?
Every week. We service the diesel pickups, feed trucks, skid steers, and one-tons that keep Wendell's dairies running. Fleet pricing, written estimates, and we schedule around your milking and feeding routine.
Can you handle a no-start at the dairy or out in the field?
Yes — our mobile mechanic covers Wendell for jump starts, no-start diagnostics, dead batteries, and minor on-site repairs. For bigger jobs we'll arrange a tow to the shop.
Do you service trucks running US-30 between Wendell and Jerome?
All day. Brakes, hubs, U-joints, and suspension take a beating on the highway-and-gravel mix west of Jerome. We catch wear before it turns into a roadside breakdown.
Open Saturdays?
Open 7 days, 7 AM to 10 PM. Drop off after a shift, pick up on a weekend — whatever works around farm hours.
