I called the Geico (US BOAT) insurance company for a tow and sat on hold for an hour - there I was drifting toward the rock cliffs - getting closer and closer - too deep to drop anchor, I was getting pretty nervous. (Oh! Geico Boat Insurance AIN'T Geico Auto - different culture - different everything - don't fall for it!) I called Captain John (Owner of The Lake Tahoe Boat Co.) - he answered his cell immediately and told me to drop anchor anyway to slow my drift toward the rocks. "I'll come and tow you in right now if you can't reach US Boat!" Well, Geico never answered so I called the number for emergency boat towing in the Tahoe keys and they came & towed me in. Here's a guy (Capt. John) who owns & operates several businesses - like all businesses, suffering labor shortages, and he personally offers to drive to the keys - get in his boat - and tow me home.... Very rare/exceptional customer focus - Daryl, Megan, and everyone at Lake Tahoe Boat Company are the best! Glad I met Capt John!

I just brought my Mastercraft X80 there for trailer/dry storage. It's a steal at their price for monthly storage.

They told me they couldn't get to my car until Friday, so we stayed at the Marriott for two nights after dropping the car off on Monday. Despite being booked until Friday they tested the car on Tuesday, ordered a new starter, and completed the service by Thursday. Very appreciative of the quick service, and thought they charged a fair price as well. Thanks Eloise Auto!

Then yelp review along with Elise's willingness to understand my urgency and concern she did her best to fit us in to get us home. Then Shawn and his staff worked on my car and got it running as soon as they can. It's tough to find good mechanics that don't take advent or people. The Kingsbury Automotive is family owned and ran is what learned. Then when Shawn came to update me he was very honest m, compassionate, and straightforward in letting me know what the issue is and what the workaround was. I appreciated Kingsbury Automotive's staffs honesty and caring for their customers. If you want knowledgeable trustworthy people working on your car not racking up the bill this is the place to go, Thank you so much Elise and Shawn for helping us and having reasonable pricing.

Car trouble is never fun, especially when you're rolling into South Lake Tahoe from the Bay Area on…read morea work trip--right before a holiday weekend. My car broke down late Wednesday night, and after getting nowhere with AAA, I tried again Thursday morning and eventually drove (nervously) to AutoZone for a diagnostic. They pointed me toward Kingsbury Auto for a new alternator. Called--no answer. Took a leap of faith and just drove there. Total "damsel in distress" moment the Thursday before Memorial Day, with a deadline to drive back to the Bay the next afternoon. And wow--I'm so glad I did. Elise was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. You can tell it's a family-owned and operated shop, and they treat you like a human, not just a ticket number. Not only did they fit me in last-minute, but Elise also tracked down an alternator and had me back on the road in about 2 hours. On a busy holiday weekend, no less. I seriously can't thank them enough. Total lifesavers. If I ever break down in Tahoe again (fingers crossed I don't), I know exactly where I'm going.

My vehicle was at this shop for over a month. About 2 and a half weeks in was told my jeep had bad…read morecams $4500 repair. I declined and said just put it back together so I can come get it please. 2 and a half weeks later the owner tells us the starter is bad. I picked up my car today....1. Battery cover not even put on the battery. 2. Entire engine cover not put back, not in the car, no mention of where it went. 3. Was told the noise it made when it started was due to it needing a new starter. 4. Upon picking it up the same noise was present. This vehicle has previously had the starter replaced like 5 times before I bought it per carfax. Chances are it did not need a new starter since the previous owner had it replaced about a year and a half ago. So I was charged $1383.00 of which I paid 1193.00 and said I would pay the rest later, tomorrow or the next day. I was not provided a receipt, the replaced parts, or even an explanation of what I was paying for. The vehicle is running 100 times worse than it was and is missing some key components and NOW has a busted left headlight that I know for sure was not broken when I dropped it off. When I closed the hood there was no resistance and knowing very little about cars I cant tell you exactly the difference or why only that I closed it just like I always have and it slammed shut feeling very light and cheesy. I have owned 4 Jeep Grand Cherokees in the last 10 years and have had numerous repairs done over the years. I have never been taken advantage of, over charged, lied to, manipulated, and raped as far as repairs go EVER, UNTIL NOW. Even if this shop offered to fix my car completely for free restore to brand new (its a 2017) I would not take it back. Nor would I let anyone in my family take any of their cars here. I absolutely will not promote or recommend this shop to anyone I know or dont know even. Having been a resident in this town for more than 35 years I have never been as angry as I am right now. I have never felt in my gut that id been f*@$%d over like I have been this time. And that does not even include the amount of money I had to spend for borrowing and renting other cars to get to and from work for the last 32 days while my car was "being repaired". I would rather my almost two year old grandson work on it than go back to this shop.

Then when I pick it up the next day, it makes a terrible noise when starting the car. The owner says "oh I didn't test drive it", and says "ok we'll try a new gasket" I come to pick it up the next day and the owner says "maybe it's fixed or maybe the noise is just in your head". Decided to cut my losses here. I'm now down $450 and my van now needs to be fixed by someone else. So bummed I took my van here.
