I was helped in emergency when needed two tires on the spot. .and when/where others take advantage of a person in that situation. I was given the best price of any in Yelm, the best and quickest service and most accommodating to needs during a very difficult time (holidays..Christmas and waiting on a tow). Helped with choosing best tires for the car and at best price...got really excellent all season tires that would have paid almost 100 more for at other local shops. A friend had been telling me how she got the best options and the lowest prices and the greatest service from Tire Dogs for over 8 years that she was in Olympia, at that location , so i decided to try them when i needed tires and compared with other shops here in Yelm.

My experience with the salesman Drew was fantastic it was after I had a vehicle picked out that came the problem, Sorry Drew you were not there the day I came back in. The sales manager Randy was a typical used car shyster all he was worried about was how much cash we had to put down. I don't know how much experience he has at running a car lot but he definitely does not know how to communicate with people after saying some pretty insulting things in the office, DOOR OPEN, we just got up and left. Randy YOU owe Drew a commission as we ended up buying at another dealership 3 days later.

I had a frustrating experience with Ernie's RV & Trailer Repair…read more I brought in my Class C RV because I wanted a proper inspection, specifically to have the brake pads checked. Another shop had already told me they couldn't lift the RV, which is exactly why I sought out a place that could handle a full inspection. When I scheduled the appointment, I clearly explained this situation and my expectations. The day after I dropped off the rig, I received a call saying the RV was ready and that nothing was wrong. I was charged about $280. When I arrived to pick it up, I asked for an inspection report or details on what was checked, and it became clear there was confusion. After asking directly what work had been done, I was told they had only performed an oil change. This was extremely frustrating because that was not what I brought the RV in for. I had been very clear that I needed a full inspection due to the previous shop not being able to lift it. They did offer for me to bring the RV back at another time, but when I asked about the cost for the inspection, I was quoted over $450 on top of the $280 I had already paid. This pricing was never discussed when I scheduled the appointment. Overall, my concerns are: -Lack of communication about pricing upfront. They need more transparency on their pricing and other reviews suggest the same -Not paying proper attention to the customer's request -Failing to perform the service that was requested There was no effort to offer a discount or solution to make up for the inconvenience. I wanted to give them a chance despite some pricing concerns posted on prior Yelp reviews, but unfortunately, my experience confirmed those issues. To be fair, the staff were friendly and professional. They are nice folks but, they need to work on some issues. In the future, I will be driving a few extra miles to get better and more competitive service.

I asked Ernie's to repack my RV trailer bearings, check the trailer brakes, and adjust the drop on…read moremy drop hitch. They said bring it in. Only after I brought my trailer in, they said it would be $861. Way more than I expected for about 2.5 hours of labor and $120 in parts but I had already towed my trailer there so I said ok. They said the trailer brake is fine but they did not measure and would not tell me how much brake I had left. The trailer hitch adjustment cost $159 just to loosen and tighten two bolts with an impact wrench while the hitch was still attached to my vehicle. I watched and they never once used a torque wrench or a vice. My chassis was the vice. Uhaul or any shade tree mechanic would have done better service for a fraction of the cost. They quoted me $7700 to fix the caulk and trim. Hard pass after seeing their quality of work and what they charge for basic services.

After several road trips over that year, my traveling dogs and I had made, I was in need of a " major spa day" for my CRV. Pupa chinos and French fries showed their tell tale signs. Having a beautifully clean car is a form of self care. Initially, I contacted Mark to provide me with the best detail I had ever had last year. I didn't know he and his family had moved to Texas. He did respond and raised my spirits by letting me know the family was moving back to Yelm. When the had settled in, he reached out to me and scheduled an appointment for my CRV. Mission accomplished! Spotless and even smells like a brand new car! Thank you and your family for your professionalism and friendship. Family run. Trust me, you won't regret it.
