Best WLM Reviews
Our family is traveling on an extended cross country trip and we were 3000 miles from home. We started experiencing trouble with our vehicle (bad wheel bearings). I called several mechanic shops to see about getting our service, but unfortunately every shop I called said they were weeks out from being able to help us. We were facing the prospect of being stranded for an extended period. A & L Auto originally said they couldn’t get us until the following week but put us on a call list in the event that a slot opened up. We received a call back the same afternoon letting us know that a slot had become available. A&L had our vehicle fixed the next day!! We didn’t even have to delay our travel schedule. They are an honest, reliable, fast and fair establishment and we praise God for their service. We highly recommend them!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
