Wheel fell off and I broke one of the wheel studs. I’m in Moab. Any recs?

Grand Tire, formerly Chips had done an alignment and times for me in the past with good service.

There are likely more local people (@DRANGED ) than me to give more recommendations.

Good luck, hope you resolve soon!

I’ve had good luck with quick service at Point S, and of course Moab motorsports is there too.

Grandpas Garage if you want to fix it yourself. He has everything you need, in a large shop. Really cool guy.

Good mechanics here are are kinda hard to find.
I'd say Point S for reasonable, quick and pretty good.
Bryson at patriot's garage (family history in motorsports)

I Don't know grandpa's garage, but I should find out!

I don't see much internet presence except a FB page. What is this shop all about and how does it work? This is a very valuable resource for folks that have their own tools, know-how and simply need a lift and a bay to wrench on their junk.

If it’s just one, and you think the other 5 lugs are OK I’d just carry on.

if its one you still have 5 should be good to get you home

Okay, stumbled upon the advertisement for grandpa's garage a couple blocks from home, today. Need more searching to be done to know where and how grandpa's garage works. Do you have any beta @kelly saad ?

I think my wife might still have his number. Standby

 

[DRANGED]

The interwebs...

A local buddy knows the guy too...

Any idea how the shop worked?
Was it stocked and just a place to wrench? Leave a couple sixers and a pizza coupon for time spent? Etc?

Interesting how this thread went. If you're ever stranded in Grand Junction, give me a ping. I don't have a 4 car garage, but I've got most mechanics tools and I'm setup to weld.

I ended up buying lugs at Napa in Moab, and drove it home to GJ on 5 lugs. Swapped the lug in my driveway this afternoon, very easy to change on this machine. I didn't even need a very big hammer, came right out.

Grandpas Garage is just a dude that's been around the wheeling community for many many years.
It's not a place of business. It's his own personal shop. He's good friends w/ Rick Pewe. BFG has thrown parties at his place during EJS, etc.
The dude is pretty cool.
The first time I ever went to Moab I stayed at his place. All he wanted was out of state beer and whatever we (as a group) wanted to donate to him for use of his shower, kitchen, house, etc...
