During that conversation, I happened to notice that my tires did not appear to have been rotated correctly. I had requested a tire rotation, and Daniel confirmed that it had been performed. However, upon inspecting the vehicle, I could see that the passenger-side tires had been swapped front-to-back while the driver-side tires had not. I was able to identify this because the tires on my vehicle have different tread patterns, making it easy to determine whether they had been moved. When I pointed this out, Daniel initially maintained that the tire rotation had been completed. After I showed him the difference between the passenger and driver sides, I was given several explanations regarding tire placement, vehicle handling, and concerns about the condition of my tires. None of those explanations addressed the fact that one side of the vehicle had clearly not been rotated. Eventually, another employee stepped in, acknowledged that the driver-side tires may have been missed, and immediately offered to bring the vehicle back into the shop to correct the issue. I appreciated that he took responsibility and worked to resolve the situation. My concern was not the mistake itself. Mistakes happen. What I found disappointing was the response when the issue was brought to Daniel's attention. Rather than simply acknowledging the possibility of an oversight and correcting it, I felt my concerns were dismissed and met with repeated explanations that did not address the actual problem. During the interaction, Daniel also made comments about wanting to "get this lady out of here" and referred to it being "Tuesday" while discussing the situation with staff. Whether intended that way or not, the comments came across as dismissive and unprofessional, particularly while I was trying to resolve a legitimate concern regarding work that had not been completed. To the shop's credit, the tire rotation charge was removed from my bill, and the work was ultimately completed correctly. I appreciate the employee who stepped in, acknowledged the issue, and resolved it. Based on this experience, I would encourage customers to verify that all requested services have been completed before leaving and to carefully review any work performed on their vehicle.

I have been taking our cars to this establishment for oil changes consistently for several years…read more They have always been able to get us in without an extremely long wait. Never gave us a reason to use the other oil change place across town. This all changed yesterday. As I drove to work after my vehicle's oil change I noticed a weird feeling on the left hand side of my steering wheel. I couldn't quite figure out what I was feeling until I got to my work's parking lot. I got out to find the leather of my steering wheel gashed up. Either cut by a tool or something clipped to an employee's belt. After I finished my work meeting, I called up the shop to let them know the leather of my steering wheel was damaged by who ever was in my vehicle. They told me to come down so they could see it. I immediately drove down to the shop and the front desk guy came out to look at my damaged wheel. After he checked it out he said that there was no way one of their employee's damaged my steering wheel as they are not allowed to bring tools into vehicles and proceeded to say that my steering wheel appeared "aged" and that I was basically a liar. I literally couldn't believe it. I drive this vehicle every single day, these gashes were not there when I dropped off my car at 8:00 AM. As soon as I drove away, I felt the damage on my steering wheel and knew something was off. I looked up what it costs to replace my steering wheel and it's $2,000. Oh! And later that evening, my husband went to inspect my vehicle and found that they either ripped off my wiper fluid cap or did not replace it. So now I'm driving around with a missing wiper fluid cap. I'd think twice before coming to this business. All I wanted was an oil change. Instead my steering got damaged, which will cost me thousands to replace, and got called a liar.

Over four days, they repeatedly cleared the codes, test-drove the car, and rechecked the system. Eventually, they became fairly certain that the problem was related to rodents chewing on the wiring. Reluctantly, they suggested I take it to a Subaru dealership, as a dealership would have the sophisticated equipment needed to pinpoint the root cause. They hesitated to recommend this because they expected the dealership would charge me a ton of money for troubleshooting. Ward and Son's charged me less than $100 for all the troubleshooting they did over four days, which I think is very reasonable. Even though they weren't able to resolve the problem with my car, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. P.S. They were super friendly people!

Jerry is amazing and honest. I had to have 2 batteries changed in my van on the day we were leaving…read moreTruckee. I was traveling with my 2 kids and 2 dogs back to San Diego. What I imagined to be a stressful, time consuming and expensive day turned out to be ok. Joe at O'Reily's on Deerfield recommended Jerry for my battery installation. I don't know a lot about cars but I always thought that battery replacements were simple. I remember the days and cars, where you can just buy a battery at O'Reily's and they could replace it for you on the spot. Well, I learned a lot about cars today. Our Chrysler Pacifica 2018, has 2 batteries and a part over the main battery making it a bit more challenging to replace. I'm not from Truckee so I had no idea where and who was reliable in the area. I am so glad I referred to Jerry! He called me with some surprising news which could've been terrible, but he is experienced and honest and called with a solution. It turned out I need to replace an additional battery. As he was telling me, my mind immediately went to $$$, preparing to call O'Reily's to see if they had the battery, the logistics to go pick up a battery and get it to the shop, wondering if it could all be done before the shopped closed...Well, I didn't have to worry. Jerry had solutions prepared. He had already called O'Reily's to see if they had the additional battery, had the price, and an arrangement to have the battery delivered to his shop. All I needed to do was call Joe at O'Reily's to purchase the battery over the phone. When you are trying to pack, take zoom meetings for work, manage 2 kids, 2 lively pets and your husband is hundreds of miles away with terrible cell phone service and really lack any car repair knowledge, you just want to throw your hands in the air and just hope no one takes advantage of you. I am so grateful to know there are kind, helpful, patient and honest people in this world. My car was jump started at 10:00 am and by 2:00 pm, my car was ready. I got my family packed, made my meetings, walked the dogs, had lunch and made it for ice cream and left Truckee safely with my family. Thank you! P.S. Pricing is honest and in my opinion too low for the level of service and care. Thank you Jerry!

Maybe something like: "we get our fair share of suckers, f**k off." I was nothing but kind to these folks, and they treated me with profound disrespect. These guys are doing just fine without your business. I wonder if Mr. Moore, Sr. taught his son to greet customers in this way. If so, shame on him. God willing, he won't have to worry about customers anymore, period. Towed my 2016 Ram eco diesel here after it lost power and caught fire under the hood and leaking diesel pretty bad. It was after midnight on a Wednesday night. I left a message to let them know I'd be there when they opened. Cost me $900 to tow it, and I did so only based on the great reviews Moore's auto repair had received. I called at 9 and no one was there. Walked a few miles from the hotel I got to find them closed. Around 10am someone opened the door and I let him know what happened, not giving any pressure to be speedy or anything. I'm desperate and it'll take what it takes, was my thought on the matter. They didn't want any part of it. Told me to get my truck off their property, as it was parked in a 'no parking' area, where the tow truck put it. There were other cars in that 'no parking' area also, and I figured it was overflow parking for the repair shop. The guy didn't even seem to want to give me time to arrange to move it. This was memorable, too: when I asked him why he wasn't complaining about the OTHER cars parked in the 'no parking' area, he said, "well, they're not standing in front of me to bitch at," and then mumbled complaints about the neighbors. So in spite of the great reviews, don't take your car here, especially if you have to tow it. If you're a good old local, you might get more respect, but even that's a gamble.
