From towing to repairing our truck, they were nothing but GREAT! Brian, the tow truck driver, was AMAZING, he went above and beyond! Very FAST, friendly AND helpful!
Wonderful Service! The work was done earlier this than expected, and all with a smile.
Quick, helpful and convenient service. Picked my car up from work the day my battery died. They are life savers!

While I was driving home I got a flat tire and made it to Lodi Shell. The owner stopped everything he was doing to come help me ASAP. It was the best service I have ever received.
I should have known better. Drove 4 hours to buy a car for my child. Car was totally misrepresented in ad and over the phone. It ran on 3 cylinders when I got there. After 2 separate repairs in his shop it still wasn't running correctly. I think the timing is off on the 2010 Subaru Impreza. It cost me a day off work and $100 in gas, but I learned a lesson from Dan. It makes me really sad t... More

After 2 separate repairs in his shop it still wasn't running correctly. I think the timing is off on the 2010 Subaru Impreza. It cost me a day off work and $100 in gas, but I learned a lesson from Dan. It makes me really sad to see a small business with no integrity. It's my own fault. When you show up for an appointment and have made it clear you are driving 4 hours and the dealer doesn't even have the integrity to drive the car around the block to make sure it's running well you should immediately know everything you need to.

Stranded on Sunday night after 9 pm - car service was zero help for over 1 1/2 hours. Family member recommended calling Lodi Shell. Placed a call to Lodi Shell not expecting an answer but was incredibly surprised by the positive tone and urgency that Bryan responded. He was incredibly quick, took less than 20 minutes just as he provided as an ETA. He quickly used the battery pack to start car. After hearing we had over 100 miles to our next destination, he said he would be hesitant to drive that far due to possible damage to alternator. He said he would be happy to check if they had the correct battery. We followed him back to the shop in Lodi, he quickly found the correct battery and changed 100 times faster than I could have done it. Not only was Bryan an incredibly nice guy, he also talked about how he really liked working for the owner (don’t hear that much nowadays) and the generous support the owner provided to the community. 100% recommend Lodi Shell! Thanks for saving a long day Bryan. Less
I've lived in Lodi for many years. My family and I only trust Lodi Shell for repairs, towing, and used cars. Excellent service and honest folks. Everybody has a "car guy" and the team at Lodi Shell is mine.
If you are looking for a honest and trustworthy towing and auto service, look no further than Lodi Shell. Great customer service by a group of experienced technicians. I would highly recommend.
Hit a brake chamber bolt on the interstate and drove it into my left rear tire shortly after 4 PM. They were the closest tire shop we could make it to. Called them and they agreed to wait while I got there to make sure someone could help us. They could not fix the tire because the bolt punctured too large hole in the tire.

Hit a brake chamber bolt on the interstate and drove it into my left rear tire shortly after 4 PM. They were the closest tire shop we could make it to. Called them and they agreed to wait while I got there to make sure someone could help us. They could not fix the tire because the bolt punctured too large hole in the tire. They did not have a replacement tire on hand, so the spare was put on. They did not charge us a dime for putting the spare on and airing up all tires to proper pressure. Great people very helpful. People would highly recommend them. If I am ever in the area again and need anything I will remember them first. Less
You take your vehicle in for 2 tires to be balanced and can't get your vehicle back until an $1,100 bill is paid because they are very good at making you think you can't get your vehicle back unless said $1,100 in repairs are performed by them.

You take your vehicle in for 2 tires to be balanced and can't get your vehicle back until an $1,100 bill is paid because they are very good at making you think you can't get your vehicle back unless said $1,100 in repairs are performed by them. The parts I can get right now for a total of $75 they charged just under $300 for and than charged just under $700 in labor. They did this repair specifically this way to get the most profit out of the poor costumer. They could've spent the actual $300 they charged for parts on an entire steering knuckle and only had an hour of labor but instead they bought bearings and hubs ($75) and took 4 hours pressing it all together at $175per hour to get what could've been totally new for $300. Half this job was previously done and they insisted the new part was faulty so they HAD to replace both sides but after asking for all old parts the costumer only received one side of the old parts...... Hmmm. They know the game and know how to talk to you in a way that makes you feel as if you will not get your vehicle back unless you agree to their repairs. I found multiple statements made by them very fishy. You know exactly what your doing and I know things are rough especially for small businesses but how you sleep at night doing ppl like that is beyond me. Was not misinformed I spoke with Dan the mechanic who took the work right out from under me with their sly talking with the costumer. Try to justify it all you like but the way it all went down you guys only had your profits in mind NOTHING OR NO ONE ELSE. There was most definitely a better solution than making the costumer believe they couldn't leave without paying you $1,100 to replace 2 wheel bearings. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselfs! Less
If you're looking for a used car, or someone to service your car, Lodi Shell is the place to go! Our family has bought several cars from Dan over the years and we've never been disappointed. Dan is easy to work with and has high integrity. Zach is the 3rd generation of his family to service 3 generations of our families' vehicles. That in itself says a lot!

Each time I have gone to Lodi Shell at the last minute they have gotten me in fast. The repairs were very fair priced and done perfectly. Great staff!!
I always send my vehicles here for tires, service, and repair. I can trust that the job will be done properly, eliminating any worries! Money well spent to keep me on the road with a safe and reliable vehicle. Kind and professional staff adds the cherry on top.
My husband and I love going to Lodi Shell! Both Dan and Zack are amazing and always are able to fit us in if needed and answer any questions that we have in a way that we can understand! Very nice locally, family owned company!
I have been going to Lodi shell for a few years and always feel taken care of and communicated with. They are reasonable and the staff is so friendly. Being a female who usually goes alone I know I can trust them to be honest and fair with my repair needs. I also just purchased a vehicle through them and the process was smooth and stress free. I definitely recommend Lodi shell!

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my truck to Dan and Zach at Lodi Shell, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with professionalism and a genuine desire to help. Not only did Shell diagnose the issue promptly, but they also took the time to explain the problem and the various options available for repair. Their expertise was evident, and I felt confident in their recommendations. The repairs were completed in a timely manner, and the quality of workmanship was exceptional. My truck now runs better than ever, and I have Shell and their team to thank for that. Furthermore, the pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. It's refreshing to find a mechanic who values honesty and integrity as much as Shell does. Overall, I highly recommend Dan, Zach and Shell to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy vehicle repairs. They have earned my trust and will be my go-to mechanics from now on. Less
I highly doubt I will ever take my vehicles elsewhere for service. For 7 years I have almost exclusively booked Lodi Shell for automotive maintenance. I have never been let down once.
We called Lodi towing after I got myself in a pickle off road while visiting WI. We called the first place that came up in the Google search and they wanted $1200. We lucked into finding Lodi Shell thru a sheriff’s deputy and paid less than half that. Great service. Patient staff (Dan, IIRC). If you’re stuck in Lodi, make them your first call … not the other towing company.
After an extreme snowfall, our car slid into the ditch. The roads were a mess, but Zach came out quickly and expertly pulled us out. He was prompt, polite and skilled.
I had a screw in my tire. Dan was able to get me in immediately and repaired it within 10 minutes and for an extremely reasonable price. Stacy and Dan were a pleasure to work with per usual!
ZERO STARS! they came to tow my friends car and they Ripped his bumper off. Gave him a flat tire and charged him for pulling it 20ft. The level of incompetence of this driver is beyond me
Went there to get my window fixed as it wouldn’t roll down. Didn’t notice until months later, but when the window rolls up it ends up landing outside of the “pocket” it’s supposed to be in so to close it I have to manually press on it as I roll it up. Super inconvenient and disappointing result for $400. Just going to have somewhere else fix it.Though, no complaints regarding the staff and it was... More

They helped me pump up my flat bike tire when I was stranded!! Super nice workers and very helpful.
Dan is great!
Always very helpful with vehicle issues. Locally owned. 😊
Professional quality care at a reasonable cost. Dan is fantastic to work with and fair. He had my car in and out in one day when I thought it might be a week. I would recommend Lodi Shell to anyone who needs assistance.
Called for a tow on Thanksgiving morning and Dan came right out. He had my car loaded in about 10 minutes and the bill was way less than I expected. Would definitely recommend
Couldn't ask for better service. Definitely recommend.
I discovered a nail in my flat tire at the trailhead for the Gibraltar’s Rock section of the IAT. The amazing ferry workers pumped my tire and directed me to Shell Tire. They got me in, patched my tire, and had me on my way in less than 20min! I am STILL amazed and have told anyone who will listen! Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity!!! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!!
Dan the owner is a scam artist!!!!!!! My daughter swerved to miss a deer and crashed her vehicle...total loss & THANKFULLY SHE IS OK❤️♥️❤️Columbia County took it upon themselves to call Dan the scam artist...WHO charged us $739.24...DONT US DAN!!!!
Hospitality second to none. We were traveling nearby when we experienced car trouble. Dan prioritized our vehicle so we could continue on our vacation. He recommended a great restaurant (Lucy’s), and even picked us up when our car was done. There are not enough stars for us to give. Great experience!!

I asked if he could look at vehicle and he said he would fit me in but might be late afternoon. I arrived at shop with and said I would get Hotel in area because I had been up for over 24 hours. They gave me a list of hotels in area and next thing I know there is vehicle for transportation to and from hotel that I was given. Got hotel and approximately 4 hours later they said vehicle was fixed and ready to pick up. I went to return their vehicle and paid bill. I was so surprise on the cost that I explained they forgot to charge me for towing. They said that it was included on bill. Wow I was blown away by their professionalism, honesty and kindness. Being from out of state you are always concern of being taken advantage of but there is no worry at Lodi Shell. If you break down close to Madison make sure you us Lodi Shell you will not be disappointed. Less
Dan got us in for a repair in a very timely manner before the holiday. Helped get the family's van fixed just in the knick of time during what can be a stressful time if year. What a relief to have someone to trust work to.
My car broke down on 90 heading home and made it to the gas station right off the exit and the woman there recommended this place, and I’m so grateful she did. I called as soon as they opened at 7 am and the owner answered and said he would be able to look at my vehicle as soon I could get there. I was able to get my vehicle on low pier mode to the shop and he ran a scan on it within minutes. ... More

I was able to get my vehicle on low pier mode to the shop and he ran a scan on it within minutes. There was a lot of damage and I need to get back home, so he towed me all the way to Sparta. He was so kind and personable, and very affordable, I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the area! Less
I had a flat tire this morning so I called Lodi She'll. Dan came to my house tight away, pumped up my tire, then followed me to the shop, where he put on a new tire for me and I was on my way very quickly. Dan is the best!
I used their towing service and they were phenomenal! They came quickly, even on a Saturday. The driver, Brian, was very professional and I really enjoyed chatting with him. I would definitely recommend!
Got milked like a cow for every extra dollar they could squeeze out of me.
Great place to buy and have your car serviced.
Excellent customer service!
got my truck stuck in snow about a half a mile off the road in a field about 16 inches of snow on ground . Called Lodi Shell and they had me unstuck and back on the road in about a half an hour!
We were having trouble with the battery in our truck but put off getting a new one. It died one day when I was running errands and luckily I got a jump and called Lodi Shell. They had the right battery by luck and said they’d squeeze us in the same day! It was finished in an hour and the battery works great even in this cold weather! Great service!

Update, we accidentally let the battery run down while away from home, Lodi Shell came very quickly to jump it, and checked it the next day, said it was fine and did not need replacing. They also inflated my tires for no charge. Very honest and easy to work with. Less
Got my car in and fixed fast and price wasn't bad either. Very please will definitely be a returning customer
Very freindly, fast, excellent & reasonable service!
Good local auto repair shop. Very trustworthy and stands behind the work

IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR CAR!!! PROVE THEM WRONG! LIKE I DID!! DONT COME HERE EVEN IF YOUR DESPERATE!! NOT WORTH IT!! NO DIGNITY So if this sounds familiar to you, your car most likely got damaged even more with them. Pathetic sad part is they couldn't even tell us they did this, we were just supposed to just figure it out?! And think it was our fault?! SO NOT RIGHT TODO THAT TO A PERSON!! TURNED A POSSIBLE SMALL PROBLEM INTO THOUSANDS DOLLARS OF YOUR DAMAGE!! Less
This little auto sale and towing shop has great customer service. The owner and the employees are very friendly, and they stand by the vehicles they sell. They are so easy to work with, and they made me feel like an old friend. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good used vehicle or in need of towing.
My friends car broke down across the street. Instead of charging for towing the tow truck driver helped push the car across the street to save money.
Friend, knowledgeable staff with reasonable prices and excellent service
Great service!
I bought my tires here and had to bring my vehicle back to have them balanced twice. Then every time they rotated them, my vehicle came back without the tires properly balanced. When I complained the 3rd time they wouldn't call me back. Took it to Farm and Fleet and problem solved! Nice staff, but the whole experience left me a very unhappy customer. I will not return.
Dan has taken great care of our vehicles for more than 10 years. Keeps my 03 Duramax and 04 Impala running great.
Honesty and Integrity are words that fall short when describing Dan. In a nearly identical circumstance my vehicle was towed away previously by a competitor (name rhymes with pill and might start with a B) to the painful tune of 1500.00$ No repairs, just a tow.

Honesty and Integrity are words that fall short when describing Dan. In a nearly identical circumstance my vehicle was towed away previously by a competitor (name rhymes with pill and might start with a B) to the painful tune of 1500.00$ No repairs, just a tow. Second time around Dan at Lodi shell got the call. The next morning I headed in to get my car and expected to be treated like Andy Dufresne in the laundry room at the shawshank prision. When Dan gave me a total of "one eighty nine" I assumed 1089.00 and proceeded to grab my ankles. When he explained the total was 189.00 I about sharted from pure elation. Dan could have literally charged me whatever he wanted (as the competition does) but instead charged me an unbelievably reasonable price. My hats off to a man with a clear set of values. Thanks again, Nick Less
