Flywheels Auto Repair & Gas is a family-owned automotive service station located near Sandy Shores and Yellow Jacket Inn in Blaine County, San Andreas. Recognizable by its vintage signage and roadside gas pumps, Flywheels has served the local community's driving needs since 1972 despite facing challenges in recent decades.

History

Flywheels was founded by World War II veteran Hank in 1972. Seeing the need for quality affordable auto repair in the growing desert community, Hank opened the small service garage and gas station using his military grants and loans.

Hank took pride in treating customers fair and honest even as other new shops tried to compete for business alongside the expanding Highway 68. Flywheels' tower signs and roadside pumps made it a recognizable landmark over the years for locals and travelers alike.

After Hank retired and passed Flywheels to his son Russ in 2001, maintenance issues and crime began plaguing the aging business. As tourism to Blaine County declined in the 2000s, Flywheels struggled to cover its operating costs. The gas pumps were often targets of vandalism or theft, requiring constant repairs.
