As you turn your vehicle the outside wheels have to rotate slightly faster than your inside wheels. The differential is what is responsible for keeping this smooth. There is a lot of power flowing through the differentials and it is very important to keep them well lubricated. When differential fluid gets low it could freeze up on you and you could lose control of your vehicle.
4-wheel drive makes living in the Hills easier and more fun. During the winter, snow can keep many drivers inside, but drivers that have 4-wheel drive will still be out doing what they need to do. Come to Black Hills Truck Shop to make sure your system is well maintained for the winter months and for exploring the Hills.

My boyfriend and I were driving through rapid city from Kentucky to Montana and our car broke down. We brought it to super lube plus on lacrosse st. first because our oil was leaking horribly and we hoped we could just get a quick fix without spending tons of money on going to a mechanic or the dealership. After 30 min of the oil company looking at our car to see what the problem was they figured out it was a problem they couldn't fix. They were able to narrow it down but Unfortunately couldn't pin point the exact problem. They were extremely helpful and recommended Black Hills truck

I heard about this shop from word of mouth. I had a tune-up done last Friday and my vehicle started to lurch while driving. I took it back to them and since they were closing, the technician advised me to bring my vehicle back today. I brought it back right after they opened up and the technician started to work on right away. One of the spark plugs was cracked on both sides and that was causing my vehicle to lurch. He put another one in, took a test drive and reset the diagnostics. Now it runs real good, just like when I first bought my vehicle.

BHTS was amazing and very helpful.
On our family vacation our 2003 F250 6 L rear differential and center bearing went out. We stopped at the local delarship and they wouldn't even look at our vehicle for over a week. BHTS saw us immediately, made a diagnosis, and gave us a time and cost estimate. They then kept us informed and did all they could to keep us on our schedule and repaired safely.
Petra was instrumental in helping us obtain a rental car so we could see the sites while they were busy working. Rick stayed late once our parts came in to make sure he helped us and stick to his commitment

This is one of the best shops I have ever been to. The owner Rick personally attended to our needs and helped us to an amazing resolution! If you are in need of an honest and professional garage this is one to go to. I am very mechanically capable to fix most of my issues but I was out of state and they treated me and my wife in an amazing way!!!

I never write reviews, in fact this is the first review I've ever written, but I feel it necessary because of my experience at this shop. I was traveling cross country and had an issue with my vehicle. I spent eight days at another shop, and unfortunately they could not fix the issue. I had my vehicle taken to Black Hills Tuck Shop and they quickly diagnosed a fuel system/pump issue that a previous owner had tried to resolve and made a mess of things... Rick and Dave were nothing but professional and friendly and had us back on the road. They went the extra mile and stayed late to assure we could

Outstanding service! These folks are so friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, I cannot say enough! My vehicle was taken into the shop right on time and they didn't waste any time getting the work done. I had new rear shocks installed and also had a rear brake job done too. These people are very fair with their prices and explain what needs attention, with no pressure to the consumer. Their price quotes were right on...no surprise costs. I highly recommend that you check them out when you're in need of auto repairs!

Traveling through 12 states and spending a few days during SD's heat wave, Black Hills Truck Shop saved the day. My Nitro A/C failed a few miles from Rapid City. After making a few calls, BHTS was recommended. All other A/C shops were full with A/C work on other vehicles. I called them before arriving. They were expecting us when we arrived. We were greated promptly and courtesly. Service personnel quickly diagnosed a failed compressor. Since we had just arrived, I asked them to find me an engine serpentine belt to bypass the A/C compressor. They found one and installed it right away. We were able

On a cross country trip in my 89 Winnebago Lesharo RV. Needed a trans fluid change on a Sat. Rick was busy yet said he would fit me in.
We changed oil, filter and transmission fluid, done professionally and in a timely manner.
When Rick completed the job, the price was more than fair considering it was a Sat and we had no appointment and we had an old rv.
