Rexburg's Trusted Auto Repair Shop
Our home shop — right downtown at 145 W 2nd N Ste. 101.
Poor Boys Auto Repair is a Rexburg shop, plain and simple. Our bays sit at 145 W 2nd N Ste. 101, a block off Main Street and a short drive from campus, the Madison County offices, and the Highway 20 on-ramp. If you live, work, or study in Rexburg, you are already close enough to drop the keys on your way to class or a shift and walk back for your car the same afternoon.
Rexburg is a hard town on vehicles. Winter salt eats brake hardware and exhaust pipes. Long stretches of freeway driving on US-20 wear transmissions and cooling systems. Student cars arrive from every state with deferred maintenance nobody has looked at in two years. We see all of it every week, which means we usually know what is wrong with a Rexburg car before we finish the test drive.
That local volume is why we quote fast and honestly. We are not guessing at parts availability or how a repair holds up through a January cold snap on 2nd East — we already know.

Check engine light on before a road trip out of town? We pull codes, test live data, and tell you which repair actually fixes it — not a parts-cannon guess.
Brake Repair in Rexburg
Stop-and-go driving on Main and 2nd East chews pads fast. Pads, rotors, calipers, and lines, done in a day for most vehicles.
