Brett, the owner, and his helper Jared were both incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything they found without ever making me feel pressured. They serviced my transmission and also tracked down and resolved a fuel/air gap issue that had been causing problems. Instead of just throwing parts at the truck, they took the time to properly diagnose the issue and fix it the right way. It's obvious they take pride in their work and stand behind it. Finding a mechanic you can truly trust is rare these days, but Brett and Jared have earned my confidence. They were friendly, transparent, and communicated throughout the entire process. My truck is running great, and I won't hesitate to make the drive back for future service. If you're looking for an honest, skilled, and dependable mechanic, I highly recommend Jim Allen's shop. Thanks again to Brett and Jared for the outstanding service!

We narrowed the sound down to the transfer case and drove the truck to the Chevron in Mammoth. They put it up on the lift, and confirmed the transfer case and recommended Jim Allen's Auto-Matics in Bishop, CA. I called and spoke with Brett the owner of Allen's Auto-Matics. I made an appointment with him for Monday July 6th and delivered my truck to him. Brett also diagnosed the swishing sound and unfortunately for me, the Ram needed a rebuilt transfer case. What fast service, in on Monday, July 6, and out on Wednesday July 8. Thank you Brett for taking me in on short notice and getting me back on the road like a pit crew at a NASCAR race. We left Mammoth on Thursday, July 9 and drove 314 miles to SoCal without any issues. I highly recommend Brett at Jim Allen's Auto-Matics in Bishop, CA.

I was up in Mammoth for a weekend camping trip when my car started overheating on Saturday afternoon. Being a weekend, almost every shop was limited or completely closed. As I waited for the engine to cool down, I decided to try my luck calling local shops, and Nancy with Mountain Motors was the only one who answered. Even though they were technically closed, she told me that if I could safely drive it the 10 minutes down to their shop, they'd take a look. I filled it with coolant and made it there without issue. It turned out to be a bad radiator. Because it was the weekend, we checked around and realized a replacement part wouldn't arrive until Wednesday. I spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday trying to figure out my options, including checking towing costs to get the car closer to home, which was going to be incredibly expensive even with my AAA. Throughout my initial indecisiveness, Nancy was so patient, helpful, and supportive. It was clear they had my best interests at heart, so I trusted them and decided to leave the vehicle in their hands. Not only did Mike repair the radiator, but he did it in a timely manner and even pointed out a few other maintenance items I should keep an eye on. My biggest issue was logistics, I only had one specific upcoming weekend available to make the trip back up to pick it up, or else it was going to be very difficult for me. They managed to squeeze me into their tight schedule to make it work. To top it all off, when I returned, dropped off my rental car at Mammoth airport, they even offered to pick me up and bring me back to the shop. Overall, Mountain Motors provides unmatched service. Mike and Nancy are an amazing team who genuinely care about helping people!

I was trying to explain to him about the issue we where having with the suburban and before I could get to Danny already knew the issue. He was able to explain to me how awful the transmission are in the 2017 suburban. He also explained to me how often they fail. He was able to break down what the game plan was to get the transmission rebuilt and quoted me a range of 4800 to 5300. I know what you're thinking expensive this day and age but a renamed GM transmission from the dealer was going to cost 6500, with the same shitty parts! Danny explained to me that they would be replacing the parts with better quality and explained to me that the cooling system in the stock transmission was also faulty. So I slept on it and the next morning 10/28 I had the vehicle dropped off at his gate at 830 in the morning without me having to be there! He took it in and got to work on the car. He told me that they would have it ready on Friday 10/31. He was true to his word and had it done on Friday! I was unable to pick it up due to work but he went ABOVE AND BEYOND, he came down to the shop Saturday 11/1 for me to pick up the vehicle. He was also under the original quote! I was shocked and happy that he did that for me. I will remember and recommend him to anyone that is having issues with there transmission Andrews transmission is the best in the valley and the customer service and just the way he made me feel like I was his only customer had me sold as a life time customer! Not many people these days are true to there word but Danny and his team absolutely delivered top notch customer service and quality. The vehicle drives and shift better than when we first got it!

All I'm going to say is that he will tell you your vehicle will be ready in a few days with parts ordered and then after he gets the part, it will take him 3 or 4 more days to start working on the vehicle and then days to finish. Finally .. we are physically waiting on him to finish so we can go back home. Why couldn't he just give us worst case scenario with truthful waiting times instead of keeping us hanging on?? Like his time is way more valuable than anyone else's? disrespectful . On a lighter note his work was well done! And I appreciate that. Just do not believe him when he states it will be done by a certain time .
