“5 stars! On a cross country trip, pulling a TearDrop with my little Mazda CX3, my battery died on a Sunday night at Covered Wagon RV park in Abilene. I was worried my alternator went out as there was a clicking sound - I disconnected my battery. I was told John's service was the AAA tow co. for Abilene KS. Called Monday morning and was told they were no longer with AAA but it would cost $85 to tow my car to Holm Service (AAA approved). OK, fair price. I said I'd start with AAA. Wasted 3 hrs of my life on the phone with AAA (they're a shell of their former self - service is abysmal) Called John's again and they sent Tim. He arrived in less than 30 mins. I described everything that had happened. Tim said the clicking was most likely my alternator BUT it was a "safe" mode. He said a jump may do it. It worked. He advised me to let it run for 30 min to charge. He charged $65 (no tow) and he gave me good info. He thought carrying a battery charger with me for the rest of my trip (6 weeks) was a good idea. I'm a 65 y/o woman. My late first husband was a mechanic. I truly appreciate honest helpful mechanics. They are as important to our society as all the other first responders. (I'm a retired nurse) Thank you.”
