Truckee Auto Repair

Took good care of us in an emergency.

Very rude on the phone on many occasions, don't provide enough fans in waiting area on hot days, not friendly when explaining the issues about your car, and I think they are very pricey $$$. And after the work has been done my car was …More

10 years ago I had a bad experience and said I'd never go back... gave them a second chance when I was in a pinch. They still suck. And they overcharge!

Got a run of the mill sidewall pinch flat from Truckee's wonderful winter roads. The folks here got my tire ordered quickly and took excellent care installing it, not damaging the wheel and torquing the wheel to spec. Will def. use again if needed.

I use a few shops in Truckee depending on the service I need. Last year I brought in my Yukon for a 50k service. 2 weeks after the service my car started leaking from a small plastic hose connector. Jason at the Auto Doctor had me bring it back in for a quick fix to replace the cheap part. 3 weeks later, the hoses started leaking again while I was down in Santa Cruz. A local SC ship fixed the hoses - somehow a crack developed in one of them. Jason reimbursed me for all the charges they applied. He also has thrown in two headlight replacements for the inconvenience. Needless to say, stuff just goes wrong on cars sometimes, but good employees like Jason strive to take care of the customer.

ZERO STARS...I took my 99 4runner in to have a freeze plug replaced. When I picked the car up A WEEK LATER they fixed freeze plug but they created an exhaust leak, a bumping sound when car went over bumps and the car no longer shifted from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive on the fly. Made an appointment to have them fix these 3 items. Took it in early in the morning, came back late in the afternoon. They never took car for test drive to hear exhaust leak or clunking but did put it up in the air to check underneath. They found nothing wrong but assured me that as long as I STOPPED the car to change from 4 wheel drive to 2WD, it would shift. After giving them 2 chances to get it right I took it to another mechanic and he found loose bolts on exhaust and sway bar attachment bolts were only finger tight. The new mechanic adjusted bolts, fixed 4WD sensor and it all works good now. Very disappointed in the Auto Doctor in Truckee. I wouldn't use them if I were you.

Extremely helpful and reliable and very good/affordable price, recommend to anyone in the area with car/tire trouble

I failed in attempting to replace my rotors on my jeep and they were able to use the parts and install them for me at a fair price. Great customer service and work done. I'll definitely be back for any other car needs.
