From a pricing standpoint, they prices were what I would expect from any mechanic.

There are people who truly find their calling in life, and Juan Santana is one of them…read more During a road trip, the check engine light came on in my 2006 Toyota Prius, and I had it towed to Perry Motors' Toyota service department. After my experience there, I was frustrated by what I felt was a lack of thorough diagnostics and diligence. It was also the Fourth of July weekend, and I was worried about being stranded far from home. A local smog technician recommended Juan at J&S Automotive, and it turned out to be the best advice I could have received. Despite being the day before the holiday, Juan compassionately worked my car into his schedule. He performed an incredibly thorough diagnostic inspection, checked the wiring and connectors, investigated additional fault codes, and even took the car on a test drive to verify everything was operating correctly. He took the time to explain what he found and never made me feel rushed or pressured. What impressed me most was his integrity. After all the time he spent diagnosing my vehicle, he didn't charge me for the inspection. Thanks to his careful work, I felt confident driving my Prius all the way back to Joshua Tree without any problems. Juan is a rare combination of exceptional mechanic, honest professional, and genuinely kind human being. If you break down anywhere along Highway 395, skip the dealerships and take your vehicle to J&S Automotive. Mechanics like Juan are hard to find, and this shop has earned my highest recommendation. There's a reason they call him Saint Juan!

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.

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.

No slick salesman, or finance people, just normal, good folks, running an awesome car buying experience. What a find, will highly recommend them to friends!

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the rest of the service department. Maybe oil changes and routine maintenance are their specialty. But when it came to diagnosing the check engine light on my 2006 Prius, they completely missed the mark. My Prius threw a check engine light while I was on a road trip up Highway 395. I had it towed to Perry Motors. They said they fixed it, but thankfully I took it for a test drive before leaving because the check engine light came right back on. I got charged a diagnostic fee - fair enough. They couldn't diagnose the problem and kept insisting it was an oil issue. The problem? I'd already had the oil changed at another Toyota dealer before the trip, so I knew that wasn't it. To make matters worse, another service manager actually told me, "It's OK to drive with the check engine light on--we do it all the time." I found that advice pretty disturbing  I finally took my car to J&S Automotive, where Juan Santana worked his magic. Juan is a true car whisperer--thorough, intuitive, and someone who genuinely cares about getting to the root of the problem instead of guessing. More than 400 miles later, my Prius hasn't missed a beat.  Moreover he did not charge me a diagnostic fee and took me in right away despite it being the 4th of July weekend His shop is busy and plastered with incredible reviews and I can see why he is fondly known as Saint Juan Santana - patron saint of car troubles on 395! Would I recommend Perry Motors? Sure, for basic maintenance like oil changes and routine services that follow the handbook. For real diagnostic work? I'd skip Perry and head straight to J&S Automotive.

I stop in Lee Vining for fuel - and what happens? The bus won't start. Of course, it won't start. I'm stuck 350 miles from home. At least its summer and not snowing.... After several attempts to self-diagnose the problem, and a recommendation from the Lee Vining Shell station (a great guy named Shelley), the bus was towed to Bishop and taken to Sierra German where I eventually met Tim Miller. He took interest immediately and noted some problems with fuel seepage. Being the only noted VW mechanic for some hundreds of miles around, he was busy with work - and the pandemic wasn't helping. Anyway, he traced the main problem to a frayed wire to the cylinder head sensor and also a bad electric connection to the air box. He noted a few other things "that should be taken care of" too. All in all, the experience was top notch and my bus came alive and made it home. Bishop is a great small town in a beautiful part of California - so the pace there is understandably different than the bigger urban areas of the State. I read some of the other yelp reviews before heading to Sierra German. That said, Tim was responsive to my plight and is an expert I'd seek out again if I'm ever passing by within a 200 mile radius of Bishop. On the wide, open road that is California and Nevada, Tim's shop is now on my list of reliable mechanics.

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 .
