Meet the Crew Behind our Trusted Local Shop

S&S Auto and Diesel Team.jpg

Rhonda is a retired cattle hauler and had dreams of creating a shop where anyone, especially women and independent haulers, could walk in and get honest, transparent repairs.

 

So her and her son created Cowboy Diesel and later her sister, Nelda, for backup on the books and slowly gathered a crew she trusted from two local legends:

  • Howard was a family friend turned head mechanic.

  • Marissa, Colton, and Jason who was employed by Rhonda through Cowboy Diesel.

These two teams formed together to now be S&S Auto and Diesel.

Let's learn more about our team and their qualifications that makes them one of the best mechanic shop in Mineral Wells, TX.
