This is the first mechanic I've used that charged me to diagnose an issue. They missed the actual problem and I had to have it towed a second time. I took the vehicle to another shop in Livingston. So I'm out $287 in towing, $125 in charges, another $360 for a second towing and $200 for the repair they missed during their $125 dollar diagnostics. Make it make sense. read more

These guys repaired my vehicle while I waited. The costs were very reasonable. Clean, comfortable shop.

BEWARE !!!! I brought my truck in to have the brakes checked. I thought I got a rock caught because it had been making a noise, I made the appointment on Wednesday for Thursday. By Thursday morning the rock had come loose because the noise was almost gone. I wanted it check it out anyway since I had the appointment. They tried to sell me pads, rotors and calipers for my 2018 Titan with 42K miles. They wanted to charge me $1700 AND make me wait until Monday for parts and repair. I asked them to just put pads on it he refused. I declined the service, drove to Billings had the pads and rotors replaced for $589 and $30 credit card fee, by end of business Friday. Big shout out to Big Sky Auto Diesel and Exhaust for taking good care of me. I didn't need calipers. This place (Dinolube) saw an older female with out-of-state plates and decided to take me for a ride. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE read more

My family and I were in Yellowstone when we got a flat going down a mountain. We headed over to these guys and worked with Katy. She had us in and out in 20 mins. She even gave my 2 little children some crayons and paper to color with. I think what sets this business apart is the pride in their service. I felt genuine care and concern about our issues from all the staff. If you are in Gardiner and need any auto service do yourself a favor and go straight to Dino Lube and Repair, don't second guess. Thank you Katy for everything! read more

Sean really helped us out. We were travelers with apparently* 2 flat tires (according to the car electronic system) and Sean did his best to get us in so we wouldn't miss our flight. The technician took apart the tires and inspected them thoroughly and were honest to tell us there was indeed no flats! Go figure. Thankful for the honest service. Waiting: there is a lovely waiting area with a bathroom, water, WiFi and free phone chargers. In this gas station there is also a convenience store and 2 food trucks to keep you fed/busy. read more

While visiting Yellowstone my tire got large screw in the middle of it. I had to wait until the moring for an Auto Repair Shop to open. I went there as soon as it opened at 8 am and they took me in right away and said they would be ready in about an hour and we're. Vey friendly and courteous staff . I recommend this place to anyone who has tire problems, and or car problems. read more

We were in Yellowstone when I hit the curb and bent the rim of the front passenger tire. Took the car into Dino Lube, fearing the worst, but they had us out in 45 mins, fixing the bent rim and at a very reasonable price. Very friendly service, highly recommended! read more

Despite not getting repairs done (no replacement parts available anywhere in Montana!!!) the wonderful people at DinoLube Garage were welcoming, genuinely concerned, supportive, and helped get me on the way...towing my junker car back home! There was no benefit to them, they gave me kind attention, assistance, and recommendations...w While I NEVER want another nightmare like my car caused me, I cannot more highly recommend them...one of the very, very few bright spots throughout my ordeal! I recommend them thoroughly, totally, and completely! read more

The best shop we've ever experienced. We had a mysterious oil leak just outside Yellowstone in our '94 GMC camper van and called Dino Lube around 3:30PM. Katie got one of her techs to check out the van before closing time. It was a bad wheel bearing and they let us camp the night in our van -- even let us hook up to a power outlet! The van also needed a new half shaft, and they were so helpful, kind, honest, and sympathetic, and worked so hard to get us back on the road as soon as possible. Honestly, we felt so fortunate to break down where we did! We're especially grateful to Katy and Dylan for all of their help. Now we just wish we didn't live 2000 miles away, so they could work on all of our cars! Taylor Brown BikeBound.com read more

I had to get an oil change while in Yellowstone and Dino Lube came to the rescue. I easily got an appt and they were done in like 30 mins. Friendly staff and honest pricing. read more

They don't just do flat tires! At the end of a 10k mile road trip, we were leaving to go home to Seattle (700 miles) and our transmission failed. We coasted in to Dino Lube and the team was incredible. They were packed with cars, but Katy (owner) asked what our situation was and she kicked it in to high-gear to get us back on the road! Her team were in our vehicle, diagnosing the problem in less than an hour. Before lunch, Katy found a warrantied, rebuilt transmission that would be delivered in 2 days. They helped is find a place to stay and a car to rent while we waited. The mechanics were all knowledgable and professional. Dillon worked on removing the old transmission and flushing the system even before the new one arrived. I'm pretty sure our van was the only thing he worked on for the whole day. From breakdown to back on the road with a new transmission took 3 work days! (If we'd broken down in Seattle, the van would be in the shop for a couple of weeks!) While we live 700 miles from Dino Lube, we are seriously considering asking them to do all our major maintenance work. Thanks, Katy! read more

My car's oil pan was badly damaged while visiting Yellowstone in May 2022. It had to be fixed (replaced) before we could leave Gardiner to drive more than 700 miles to where we live. Katie and all the other staff that we interacted with were friendly and professional. They also helped work with my insurance company, which was really appreciated. I definitely recommend using this shop! read more

Got a flat tire at the south border of Montana with Wyoming. Dino lube team was super helpful and got our car back in no time

Had an issue with our camper van while in Yellowstone. Employees were helpful and accommodating to us and our dogs! They got parts from Livingston and had us on our way in hours. The connected convenience store is well stocked and employees were super nice as we hung out in the chairs in front of the store. Never fun to have issues on vacation, but the resolution couldn't have been any better! read more

This place is one of the best. While visiting yellowstone, we stayed at Gardiner. We had a flat tire, which jeopardized our vacation. Katy and her team fixed the problem in 40min and pointed out the low treads problem, which was due to negligence of car rental company. The tire worked well and we had a great vacation. Thank you, Dino Lube!!! read more

Terrible customer service to locals! I stopped by to have them check my flat tire, and they told me they couldn't get me in and that I needed to get an appointment. I'm only a 22 yr old girl, and I had to pull over on the side of the road to change the tire and eventually made my way into Livingston, where All Service Tire took me in right away. I tried to give Dino Lube local business, but they took that privilege away! read more

Terrible experience at this auto repair shop. My Ford F-150 needed a brake job while I was vacationing in Yellowstone. This shop is very close to the north entrance so I brought my car in on a Wednesday. They were very nice. They gave me an estimate and told me I could return the next day so they could order the parts. The next day I drove 2 hours from my camp site in Yellowstone for the repairs. My plan was to wait in town while they fixed my truck. I arrived on Thursday only to be told the parts had not been ordered. Apparently the NAPA website was down and the shop had not bothered to verify my order. My only recourse was to wait another 24 hours and hope they received the parts on Friday. This would have severely impacted my travel plans and cost me another 4 hours of travel time. Unsatisfactory service! I would not use this shop unless absolutely necessary. read more

What a great place! Had a head light bulb replaced. Drove in to town, called to check that they could do the work. Done the next morning in under an hour. Convenient to our sweet hotel, Park Hotel. They apologized for having to charge me extra ($10.00) because changing a bulb on a Forrester is an issue! Thanks to all of you! read more

My husband and I were on a RV trip in May 2021 and we passed through Gardiner, MT. We had tire issues on the trailer and called Dino Lube. They were fantastic! We needed 4 new tires. They ordered them in a day and installed them the next, fitting us in to what I'm sure was a busy day. We were traveling in a group and by their quick work, we didn't miss a beat. They were so nice and efficient. Thank you! read more

WOW, what great service. We were in Yellowstone and our brakes needed fixed. They ordered the parts and installed same morning. The place was jumping but all guys worked as a team and got the job done. Thank you to all. Highly recommend!!! read more

Friendly and honest staff and they got the job done quick. A+++ service in my book. Prices were fair and it's a town right outside of Yellowstone (i.e. tourist haven) read more

Thank you for blocking in my car for the weekend. That was super cool and smart especially when there was room to, ya know, not block in my car and ruin my weekend. I'm a gardiner resident and will never use this business again. read more

This place is awesome! All the staff were professional and had a refreshing Can Do attitude. I had an airbag arm valve control for the rear suspension come off my 2016 Entegra Coach coming through Yellowstone and I called these guys explained what I needed and of course that part is only available through special order. They were able to makeshift a good safe replacement on the spot that got me safely back to Texas. Would definitely recommend! read more

Ken C Keizer, Or We were traveling in Yellowstone and developed a squeal in a wheel. Took it to Dino Lube, and they determined the brakes needed replacement. Katy shuffled appointments, ordered the necessary parts, and scheduled the work for the next day. The work was completed more quickly than expected, and we were able to continue our trip with minimal delay. We were very satisfied with our experience at Dino Lube, and the customer service we received was beyond what could be expected. read more

I broke down in the Park on a Thursday. Long story short, towed into the shop late Thursday night, they ordered the part on Friday morning, was delivered late that day, after business hours, but they stayed late and had me back up and running that night. And for being out of town on vacation, my vacation was not ruining. Special thanks for the crew at the shop that night, your service was above and beyond for sure. Thanks! read more

Highly efficient, friendly, and seemed to do a great job! Definitely gave us confidence to continue our road trip from Yellowstone National Park to Seattle. Thank you!!!! read more

Fair price, great service. Helped me very out of a bind. Had to drive to Bozeman for trailer parts but that's not their fault. They were prompt as could be, and their bill was the best value of the week. read more

My wife and I were driving down to Gardiner for dinner and our front wheel started making a loud screeching sound. It became unbearable and we were concerned about losing the wheel and having an accident. We made it into town about 5:05 PM on this Friday. I rolled into a bay that just opened up as we drove up, desperately looking for a repair shop. I was greeted with a smile and was instantly helped by one of the mechanics. We went to test drive the car and instantly knew what the problem was. He pulled off the wheel and began to use a small file to remove a pebble lodged in the brake assembly. We were so impressed and relieved that they were able to fix our car with less than a half hour within closing. It took the guy more time to test drive the car than to do the work. He let us know that the issue we experienced was common place. He said, "We get 3 of these a week, at least." They were honest, easy going, and kind. I was glad we tipped the young mechanic for his act of kindness. If you need to get repairs in Gardiner, if you live in town or if you're a tourist like we were, this is the trusted repair shop in town. They saved our vacation and our sanity. We are grateful for their help. read more

Our transmission blew up in the middle of Yellowstone NP. The fabulous tow driver recommended - instead of a bigger town - to tow us to tiny Gardiner Montana. He worked with the techs and said they are well skilled. Since we have a cab-over camper on our broken truck, they let us camp in the parking lot. These guys are friendly, hard workers - they hold good customer service as high a value as excellent mechanical skill. They may be the only repair shop within 50 miles but don't let that fool you - they are also the very best! Thanks Derek, Mark, Willey, Dillon and Max! read more

A hellacious screeching sound started emanating from the car while we were driving through the park. We had no idea what was wrong, so we pulled into Dino Lube and the mechanic stopped what he was doing immediately to take the wheel off and pull out a rock. This is a situation where we were really vulnerable to being ripped off and we were treated super well and fair. The whole thing took less than 5 min and we were back on the road. Thank you, Dino Lube!!! read more

Katy and her group went far beyond expected by helping us with battery problems, even after closing time. Although they did not have the model needed for our automobile, they ordered one and it was received and installed by the next morning. Left us with the impression that this business will not try to rip you off! Thanks!!! read more

The rear tires on my RV were scary low and very difficult to access. (You have to remove the outside tire). Inside the park the repair shop was very rude but these folks couldn't have been kinder. How nice to find them and get safely underway again! Use these guys every time. read more

We got a tow to this auto shop right outside Yellowstone. They treated us with excellent care. We had low expectations and thought we weren't going to enjoy the park that day but they took us in and gave a great deal!! HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

Drove into town with a loose pulley in my 4runner, with an additional 3,000 mile drive I figured i would get it fixed. I stopped in an hour before closing and they were able to check it out and order the part. The 4 runner was fixed the next day. The service was great and prices very fair. read more

Grant and the Dino Lube team saved our vacation! Our air conditioning went out on our RV just as we were heading into 99 degree weather. They repaired it the same day and worked with our regular mechanic to make sure it was covered through our warranty. They were friendly, helpful, and patient. They are the best! read more

We got a flat tire while camping last summer and the tire shop in the park didn't have my size tire in stock. We thought for sure it was going to take a big chunk of time and money to get it fixed. We drove to Gardiner and an hour and a half later we were re-entering the park. I felt the price was fair and the service was above and beyond. Derek was fast and thorough. He even helped us load the back of the car with our gear after putting the spare tire back. (Added bonus: we got to see the Roosevelt arch!) read more
