There are plenty of auto parts stores where a kid who's barely old enough to drive will read you…read moreendless questions from the computer screen in front of them to try and get you the right parts for your car, truck, or RV. In contrast, there are those rare auto parts stores with experienced staff behind the counter. Heck, just about anybody can sell you motor oil or wiper blades for your Prius, but how about taking the time to actually pull out a PAPER catalog to cross-reference a tiny indicator light bulb for a 28-Volt 1982 Cessna Turbo Skylane? These guys did that for me once, more than a decade ago. (Howard probably did about 20 minutes of work just to make a seventy-nine cent sale, all because I was in a jam.) Everyone at Steve's has always treated me more than fairly, and I will never forget that. My experiences with the Bishop NAPA started with a tiny light bulb, but they go much further than that: Want to rebuild a 1980's Chevy 1-ton truck after a previous owner did an unusual engine and transmission swap? Want to re-wire an aging fire truck? Need to get a really good quality auto repair specialty tool? Need to get an obscure part from the Cole-Hersee catalog that nobody stocks and you can't find on eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist? Steve's has helped me with all of these things when nobody else could or would. Better parts, better selection, fair prices, and great people behind the counter. That's why I believe that in Bishop, the NAPA store, i.e. Steve's Auto Parts, located at the south end of town on Hwy. 395, is one of those rare gems that has to be experienced first-hand to be appreciated. The people behind the counter: Howard, Big Dave, Joe, and the rest of the crew, all have that essential quality in parts counter personnel: They give a damn! There's no substitute for this, and there's no way to fake it. Sure, NAPA charges a little more, but the parts are better and the service is great, and if they don't have your part in stock, it's almost a sure thing that they can have it delivered to them on tomorrow morning's truck. (This is an important thing to remember if you break down in Bishop - just try getting THAT to happen at their competitors.) Walk through the front door, wait your turn politely if they're busy, and approach with a smile on your face when you're waved up to the counter. And for Chrissakes, don't act like an entitled a$$hole like so many of the tourists do, i.e. the ones who act offended when they find out that they can't return snow chains. (Howard and his crew probably deal with too many of these idiots every day. Who knows? You might get EVEN BETTER SERVICE if you don't act like one of those people.) So if you're looking for the best auto parts shop in Bishop, the NAPA store is the place.

From long distance I easily communicated via phone and text with Jesus for over just can hour or so. It was all fast, straight forward, provided OTD numbers, no BS, and they had the best price.

The full car wash is not working, only the self spray and wash booths. There is no soap in those…read moreand they are full of mud and plant waste. Further, the store is sparcely stocked and the counter person slow. To make it worse she could not sell anything cash as she couldn't break a 20. The people in line in front or me couldn't get lotto tickets. I couldn't get a snack with the goal of getting cash for the self wash. Nope. So with the 3 dollar bills I could find, I tried a soapless wash. Waste of 3 bucks. It is the same as spraying it with a hose. Cannot use credit. Cannot make change. Cannot get soap! Bishop has no true self serv functional car wash. This place makes that situation worse.

I can't say enough good things about Willie at Warren's Auto Repair. My car broke down after a trip…read moreto Mammoth and ended up sitting at his shop for a little over two weeks while I figured out how to transport it back down to San Diego (my car needed the dealership to clear extra codes). Willie was nothing but kind, patient, and understanding the entire time. He kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, I worried about my car taking up space in his lot, he reassured me not to stress about it. That level of genuine care is so rare these days. Willie is truly one of the most kind and honest mechanics I've ever interacted with. If you're in the Bishop area and need help with your car, you're in great hands here.

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 .
