Lone Pine Auto Care

Came in for an oil change and waited over an hour just to finally ask and be told that the guy working on it popped the hood, and then left the keys in the car only to leave for lunch without telling us. When we inquired about it we were told by the owner “not my problem, I wasn’t the one working on the car”. I’ve literally never left a review but I just want to warn out of towners that this is not a straightforward or timely place to get something fixed. Everyone working there seemed nice but we could have missed our plans for the day if we hadn’t asked and left before anything had been done.

C.J helped me patch my tire. I must have gotten this nail in my tire when I pulled to the shoulder off of Horseshoe Meadows Rd. Glad I noticed the bump bump bump and we found this auto place. The patch worked great, we drove the 200+ miles back home without any worries. Price was great too since I was worried we'd need to replace.

Great technicians, especially "EZ" towed my RV here last minute with brake issues. He diagnosed it on the spot in less than hour, and we were fixed and back on the road.

They saved my Mount Whitney trip. After blowing out a tire on the drive to Lone Pine, I was able to limp with my spare to Lone Pine Auto Care, where they got me a new tire very quickly, first thing in the morning. Yes, the tire was more expensive, but it’s the only place around. Their service was quick and professional. Cash is preferred—there’s an extra fee for paying with credit/debit card.

I am a white guy with a Jeep, and although they couldn't help me, I actually enjoyed my time chatting with the old-timers who own this place. Yes, they are matter-of-fact, but they were pretty straight with me, and they have a cool older dog running around that my older dog hung out with. I can't imagine why anyone would badmouth this place, unless they're under 40 and from LA (where I'm from).
