Avoid this place. We came in to get our muffler welded after part of it broke. As Canadians traveling with little funds, we were hopeful it wouldn t be too much, especially since our Canadian dollar is so poor. The mechanic (John) told us we needed a whole new muffler. When we asked him if he could weld the part that broke so we could just get back to Canada then get it fixed, he walked away, and told his son (who was great) to just weld it. We didn t even get to make a final decision, he made it for us. It was so unprofessional. We want a mechanic to work with us and it s as if he s never learned how. Even if we do end up needing a new muffler, I m glad we didn t get the work done there. Every other staff member tried to make up for his behaviour at the end of our visit. It was so sad.I m not sure if he was just having a bad day, but based on the reviews below, it seems like typical behaviour from him. I hope your day (or life) gets better John.

Needed an oil change last minute. I called at 4:10 asking if they could do an oil change for me, but it d take me 20 minutes to get there and they close at 5. Very friendly and accommodating, they didn t have the filter for my car but they managed to get it from elsewhere immediately. Great service! Even gave my dog some treats.

Nice family owned shop, got me in the next day for a broken rear SUV shock. Replaced both. Informative, recommend, fast turnaround, up front.Only downside is the price was too high @ $700 /3hrs (?) + 2 rear strut assembly. I was overcharged by one hour for sure. Job wasn't hard they said in the end. I guess you pay a premium for fast turn around, being a female, a traveller on the road, who knows. The assumption that people on the road are loaded with cash is really not correct or helpful.I am Canadian, so it cost me over $900 for a rear shock job. Still recommend them but maybe ask for shop book rates before paying.

My son had his car towed there, and the man who helped them was nasty and refused to give them service. They ended up going to Bishop automotive and had a wonderful experience.

I made a mistake in my communication with this business, but they were very understanding and accommodating.They resolved the issue quickly and generously, and I'm grateful for their professionalism.

I came in for an oil change and ended up coming back another day to chat with Dennis about my timing concerns. Overall I had a great experience as an out of towner needing help on a tight schedule.

What an absolute joke of a business. I made an appointment to have my car checked out before selling it. When I showed up I told the mechanic what I wanted and he basically said, "Well what do you want me to do about it?" I was a bit confused but said, "Check it out and tell me if you think anything is wrong with it." His response was, "You've been driving it, you tell me what's wrong with it." Well I'm not an auto mechanic, that's why I was there in the first place! Just an absolutely incredible lack of professionalism from this guy. I've been to multiple other shops in Bishop and had great experiences, I just came here because they had the quickest appointment opening, but I would strongly recommend avoiding them if you can.

Professional, knowledgeable and curteous.We needed an emergency repair while on a road trip and the team here did everything they could to make it as painless as possible.Went out of their way to explain our options, source the parts, and get us back on the road, all with no appointment and no notice. Thank you, thank you.

Fit me in on a walk-in basis, because I had ripped a big hole in one of my tires climbing desert mountains. There was no fixing it, and they were able to get me a brand new set of tires to be installed next day, and I was good to go.

Great experience at A&L! My air conditioner compressor went out on a trip in from LA and they took my job in between appointments so I could get my car back in time. They were quick, helpful & ready to help me out when no other mechanics were willing.

From La Mirada! Had a tire problem on our Nissan Rouge. They were so honest and friendly. Could have pushed new tires on us but fixed our car for $20. Family owned. Nice to see such good people still around! Bless you and your family!Service: TiresService: Tires

They have very poor customer service. I called today for a camper tire. The lady argued about it being an R.V. Told me my only choice was a $190 tire. Very rudely said I had no other choice. No one here has used tires. I called union and paid $60, including the mount.

I was stranded with a failed wheel bearing. Even though they were super busy and had no appointment slots available they saw my situation and squeezed me in. There were no bays available so one of the mechanics worked on it on the apron outside one of the bays in the sun. I give them an A plus for the whole package; service, professionalism, expertise, and fairness. I d send my grandma to these people. Keep up the good work guys.

Well what was supposed to be a simple job that takes most mechanics 30 minutes became me listening to a child cuss at someone trying to pay him. Left the car after making an appointment and came back 1 hour later. Too bad nothing but a tire rotation was done. After being told my entire front end is bad and he won t do the alignment. Asked him how that s possible and he immediately went into defense mode like a child. After asking him to calm down he began to cuss at me saying that I was calling him a liar. Meanwhile the other employees endured this childish behavior. I WOULD BE WEARY TO TAKE ANYTHING HERE.!!update!! Took my car to another shop that has done work on my car before and they did the alignment in less than 1 hour as well as a courtesy check on all tires and components WITHOUT ME TELLING THEM TOO and to no surprise my car was fine and in working shape. DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATIONN!!!!!!Services: Tires, Wheel alignment

Cool shop. Saved my fishing trip! Drove up from LA fine but heard clunking when I hit the dirt roads. Took it in and the guy diagnosed the problem on the spot. Take it easy, fix it when you get back he said.

Attended Bishop Mule Days and upon arriving (after nearly 2600 miles) I was hearing a grinding noise coming from my front end (3500 Dodge Ram 4x4) called every shop in town and no one would even diagnose the noise, they were all too busy. A & L had a full schedule of work but asked me to leave it with them and they would work it in, they had to order front hub bearing assembly and had it completed the next day before noon. Great people, Ms Kelly and Mr Denise I cant thank you enough!

I was traveling up 395 and my muffler and catalytic converter fell off my truck. They got me in and out the same day and did HIGH QUALITY WORK for a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE. Wish I had a shop like this around everywhere I go.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

This is a great shop in a small town. I use them for my business and personal. When my customers are in need I will send them there along with some other family businesses within the town. They are fairly priced and do solid work!Services: Transmission, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Oil change

My Hemi was melting the floorboard on my Jeep JK, the team at A&L were very professional and worked with my local mechanic and came up with a fix to get me home. Really appreciated that they could get it done!
