Ian Ochoa I had a fantastic experience at Christensen Automotive! Shane, the technician who helped me, was extremely honest, helpful, and an absolute delight to work with. He took the time to explain everything clearly, gave me great advice, and most importantly, reassured me that my vehicle was safe to drive. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Christensen to anyone in the area—this is definitely the shop to bring your car to!

Colleen Golden On our drive up to Lake Tahoe from San Diego, our car’s “check engine” light appeared. It was the 4th of July weekend & we were coming up for our daughter’s wedding. Struve automotive was recommended by a local & we brought the car in on Monday morning. Charlie had a counter full of keys for cars awaiting work, but he was very nice & said he would look at our car even though he was very busy. We received a call from him several hours later & they were able to identify the error and let us know the car would be safe to drive! The cost was very reasonable & we cannot thank him enough for helping us out! He even gave us suggestions for hikes in the area. I highly recommend! Colleen & Josh

Ricky Rancour Lake Tahoe automotive was great when working with my truck I own a business and needed the issue fixed quickly and they jumped on it and did a great job. They’re fast efficient and responsive not always what you get living in Lake Tahoe so they are awesome.

Emily Davis I found a huge screw in my tire and called Big Brand Tire & Service while far from home, but just miles from their shop in South Lake Tahoe. "Come right in!" they said, and patched up my tire, free of charge! While I waited, I marveled at the excellent service Erica provided for customers in line and on the phones. She is friendly, knowledgable, energetic, and cheerfully communicative with EVERYONE. Devon was the efficient mechanic assigned to my Toyota and kindly explained this unlucky tire is on its last patch before I should replace it. They were thorough and generous enough to replace my key fob battery too, when they noticed the warning that it needed a new one. I was so impressed with the professionalism and the pace of their great service. Highly recommend for your tire needs anywhere within driving distance!

james madison Went into Franks on a friday afternoon. Explained that the starter had gone out on our diesel powered motorhome and we were at a near by campground. Frank said could call Monday and we would arrange replacement. 0800 Monday Frank called and said they would be out at 8:30. Matt arrived on time, was courteous, considerate, and went right to work. Two hours later job complete. What more could I ask. First rate operation all the way around. His shop looks like an old timey garage but man they know what they are doing. Thanks Frank and Matt!!

Andrew Gray Sam helped my family and I right away. We called around to several shops, but no one had availability to see us quickly. Sam helped troubleshoot our RV issue so we could safely drive back to Oregon. Great guy and super honest. Highly recommend!

Bill Meenk I spoke with Elise a couple times before my scheduled repair. I was confident that she knew what she was talking about. I drove 150 miles to have them replace my exhaust manifold. When I got there, they had the right part, and the repair went as planned. They even took the time to show me exactly where the original manifold had failed. Their father started this shop years ago, and now that he is gone, his kids take great pride in providing honest repair services at fair prices. My repair would have been over $3000 at Subaru, but $1400 here! Very personal service! By the way, Subaru offered a 1 year warranty, but NAPA gave me 8 years.

Daryl Altman Great and fast service. They are great at communicating status and potential issues. Kyle was fantastic.

Nick Miller This is the best Oil Change place I have ever gone to! They are fast and all the staff are very nice. Everyone goes the extra mile here, asking if you want your pies pumped and windshield cleaned. Truly wonderful! I will absolutely be coming back here again.

Kelly Downey Exceptional service from Tahoe City Auto Repair. We were in a bit of a bind travelling in a rental camper van that was overheating and luckily we found this place last minute. We were helped with no prior notice and the service was amazing. Highly recommend if you are in the Lake Tahoe area.
