My car won't start on the driveway at my Coaraegold house. It's a really odd problem - starter…read morepasses all bench test, voltage goes to the starter just fine, the starter engages but just won't turn. I towed it down to Reggie's place and they spent all day diagnosing the problem. Literally, ALL DAY. At 3:30pm I went down there, and they finally found that the wire between the relay and the starter was loose and wasn't providing enough juice to the starter. While we were at it I asked them to figure out why the car shakes badly at 65mph and above. Reggie asked them to put it in third and rev the rear wheels while he watches. Took him a minute to find the passenger rear tire has a flat spot. He gave me a quote on the tire and charged me a pretty reasonable fee for the whole day of work. I went there on recommendation from a gentleman at Oakhurst Auto Zone. I can safely say based on my extensive experience with cars and mechanics these guys are good, honest people. Travelers to Yosemite only need mechanics service in the most unfortunate situations, these guys can provide crucial help to them. I highly recommended them.

Installed water pump Monday. Still didn't fix it. Now it's Thursday and they still haven't fixed it and don't know what's wrong. Having it towed to my trusted mechanic in Oakhurst like I should have done initially rather than thinking they could handle something simple. They evidently don't diagnose problems and just change parts. Very disappointed in the service here. Never be back again. $700 bill (they do charge mechanics rates even though they're not really mechanics) and nothing for it. No diagnoses. Just wanting to do more guessing. Stay away. You've been warned.

It is only first come first serve. Two stars for work done correctly. Just to be clear this experience was a while back. My vehicle would not start and I called to make sure it would be ok to have AAA tow it to his shop for service, which he approved. I waited all day and when I didn't hear back I called to check if they found out what the issue was. They let me know the work had been done hours ago and it was ready to pick up. I asked what it was and they said that one of the spark plugs and coil packs had failed and they went ahead and replaced all of them since it was only a matter of time before the others failed. I asked what the damage was and it was more than I expected. When I came to pick it up I asked if this was the normal price for the work as generally speaking replacing spark plugs and coil packs is not that difficult. He explained that this vehicle was notorious for stripped threads and they didn't even like to do them. It came across as if I was lucky they even did the work. I asked him what the typical range was and he said it varied and gave me a low and high range and explained what it took to fix it if the threads got damaged. The final price was on the higher end of that scale. I asked who did the work so I could thank them and when I talked to the tech I asked how the job went and asked if he ran into any problems. He said that it went smoothly and about as good as he could hope for. I know I could have contacted BAR and made a complaint but I just filed it under live and learn and crossed this shop off my list. My concerns and why I will not go back for service. 1. Never given a quote - not legal in state of California 2. Not contacted when work was finished 3. Was told price was variable depending on difficulty of work performed. Found out that job went smoothly but I was still charged as if they ran into additional problems. 4. Can't make appointments

From the moment he put his hands on the tires, it literally took him less than 15 minutes to finish the job and hand me the bill. I have a hybrid plug-in car with specialized tire so I was very worried that I won't be able to replace it but he took all that concern away. His professionalism definitely shined with his incredible skill set. I would love to give more stars if I can for his superb customer service. Thank you very much, Regy! If you have any vehicle/tire issue in the middle of the Yosemite National Park, call the Yosemite Valley Garage especially when you're an AAA member and ask them for Fast Tire Coarsegold's service. Between those two vendors, you'll be taken an excellent care. I guarantee!
