The Auto & Tire Doctor

We were on a RV trip to Truckee while in Colfax the engine stalled while going up the hill. We lost power. We pulled over and my husband figured it may be a clogged fuel filter. We were pulling a 40' toy hauler with a Harley inside!!! But after talking to our mechanic and several diesel mechanics, they all said the same thing...clogged fuel filter. Well, we took it here to this shop and they looked at it. At the time we took it in, the truck ran OK w/o RV hooked up. But they looked at it and called us and said maybe fuel pump. We never mentioned fuel pump, so my husband called his mechanic again and said NO...probably not that. My concern is it cost $130 for a diagnostic test and we told them what it was!!! They really didn't need do a diagnostic. But oh well! Then when we said only change fuel filter and NO to the fuel pump, we got our truck back. We feel as though because we were not from the area they "tried" to sell us something we didn't need. And then $288 later we were done. Another thing, they weren't that friendly to "out of towners". A few locals came in and they chatted away. One day we sat for 20 min before anyone asked us what we needed. It's just not cool to over charge and try and sell people things they don't need for their car. Shady! We do not recommend this place for repairs!

The Auto Doctor is an incredible place to work! Being on the "other side of the counter" I have learned so much about this industry and how not all repair shops are "out to get you". You just don't stay in business for over 33 years by treating people unfair The Auto Doctor prides itself on taking care of the customer. Things don't always go as planned, like any business but we give it everything we got 100% of the time. Best team in town! Thank you for providing us all with a great place to go to work every day.

Stay away they lie. Don't trust them. They continued to charge me and never resolved the issues. If you want to waste your money be my guest. Owner's no need to respond it's too late. Besides, your words are meaningless.

Flat tire on the travel trailer while returning home from Stampede reservoir. Spare tire was marginal so stopped in the Auto Doctor. Josh got us right in, flat repaired, new tire purchased for a spare at a good price and we were on our way in 45 minutes. Outstanding!

Thanks Jim! We pride ourselves on customer service. Being in a small town things don't always work out according to plan. Glad we were able to get you back on the road, and thank you for the kind words.

Horrible... STAY clear. They took advantage of my dad due to it being a holiday weekend, No tow trucks available, and the fact that he HAD to be in LA the next day. DO NOT go there... They lied, cheated, and stole his money by increasing the bill to an amount that was outrageous. They knew he had not other choice. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, or Patience here.

This place was amazing ! We left our cabin after our wedding getaway to find we had a cracked oil filter , it being a Saturday we have very few options , we talked to John and he said he can try to squezze us in , so we drove down there not knowing what to expect ! We were in and out with a simple oil and oil filter change in less than an hour , amd the price was normal ,no rush fees ,no extra charge for it being Saturday !!! thank you to all at the Tire Doctor for helping our honeymoon get on the right start #cheers

I had a leaky valve stem and my tie went flat. I brought it in and they tightened it and checked all the others in five minutes and didn't even charge me! In the estimate they said $20 if they had to do more than tightening and thats exactly what they did! Honest, efficient and friendly! Thank you for your help!
