Deposit, cancellation and payment

  • $35 deposit on every booking — including free-zone towns like Powell and Cody — credited to your final bill (not an extra fee).
  • Cancel or reschedule free up to 24 hours before your window. Later than that, or a no-show, and the deposit is kept.
  • Pay on completion by card, cash or check. You get an itemized invoice.
  • No rush or same-day service for now. Most visits land within the week.

What we don't work on

  • EFI (fuel-injected) engines (no scan tools yet)
  • Diesel engines
  • Outboard/marine engines
  • Large commercial or ag equipment
  • ATVs/UTVs (for now)
  • Standby generator transfer-switch electrical work (licensed electrician)
  • ASAP / same-day rush calls (not offered for now)

Fuel-injected (EFI) engines are off the list for now because they need dealer scan tools. If you're not sure what your machine has, send a photo of the engine tag or call or text (307) 254-9714.
