Warren’s Auto Repair

I was driving from Minden, NV to Simi Valley, CA (420 miles) and my car starting vibrating badly about 40 miles before Bishop. It was obvious when I arrived in Bishop I either had to get the car repaired now or towed back home. So I checked Unilocal for the best mechanic in Bishop and Warren’s Auto Repair stood out with their perfect reviews. When scanning the reviews Jennifer T. wrote about a similar experience about getting stuck in the middle of a long road trip and Warren’s coming to the rescue. So I decided to give Warren’s a shot.
To my pleasant surprise, Randy dropped what he was doing and immediately starting diagnosing the issue. After installing a new spark plug and new ignition coil we were back on our way and only lost one hour! All this for an extremely affordable cost.
When your car breaks down you expect to be stranded for a few hours at best. But to be back on the road in an hour is just unheard of. THANK YOU RANDY!
If Warren’s Auto Repair was local to me, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my car service needs.
FYI they are cash only.

I got 4 estimates for the replacement of my serpentine belt and water pump last year. Randy at Warren’s Auto quoted me $ 350 less than the second lowest estimate, and $ 700 cheaper than the Toyota dealer in town, Perry’s motors. He did the work for the price he said he would, in the time he said it would take. You won’t regret trusting Warren’s.

Clean, friendly, fast, reasonable.

We had a wonderful experience here and highly recommend this shop. After driving over 600 miles from AZ, our break pads started to sound squeaky and had us worried that we wouldn’t make it to our next destination safely. Randy noticed that we were on a road trip and took us in same day and had our car fixed up by the afternoon! Very fair pricing and truly exceptional and helpful service!

We blew our water pump driving from mammoth home and luckily ended up at Warrens Auto Repair. We pulled right in and they diagnosed our car in minutes had the part ordered and even worked through their lunch break in order to get us back on the road as quick as possible. They also couldn’t have been nicer making our experience the best possible given the circumstances. We recommend at the highest level and wish they were our local repair shop!

We stopped by here on the way to mammoth because our car was jerking and the check engine light went on. The guys diagnosed the problem and replaced our spark plug in a quick turn around. The guys here are super friendly and very trustworthy. Would definitely recommend these guys!

Mobbed up to Mammoth early morning to catch some groomers and the whip gave us some trouble. Rolled into the shop and Willy replaced the alternator in an hour. Awesome place to stop in if you’re on the 395.

I have no idea why my first review was filtered but this place is awesome. Check out the filtered reviews. Maybe this will help. They don’t lie.

This place is awesome! Driving through town with the family, on our way home from vacation, we had car trouble. Found Warrens on Unilocal,and they willingly checked out our car and found the problem. They stopped the job they were on and replaced our alternator for a great price. We were on the road within an hour!

Thank you « Unilocal» reviewers for helping us find Warren’s. These guys are trustworthy, honest, friendly, and just plain awesome! What else can you look for in a mechanic. Randy and his boys took great care of us these past few days and we now have someone to count on whenever we are in Bishop (which is actually quite often). Thanks Warren’s for all your quality work!

Fast, detailed, honest service.
On a Mono County hot spring adventure with the gal, one or two or a hundred too many dirt road bumps somehow blew our radiator fluid overflow tank cap clean off. We found it (much later than I’d like to admit… dangling at the end of its hose), and nursed my 2002 Honda Accord down to Bishop. Next day: overheating, steam everywhere, fluid all gone. This potential blown gasket, damaged engine, etc. spelled disaster in the middle of our trip and to our nonrefundable reservations in not-​Bishop.
That’s when we limped in to Warren’s. A jovial dude called Randy told us to pull up, pop the hood and tell him what we thought. He warned us not to jump to any conclusions, discovered that our radiator cap was cracked and disintegrated and suggested that, as that might’ve been it, we might’ve just got lucky that morning. (At which point I made the crack «Wow, darlin’! Twice in one morning!» He dug it more than she did.)
He called a local part supplier and told us to wait in his immaculate shop and help ourselves to his wife’s banana bread, which was tasty. The dude came, but with the wrong cap, so Randy told us to have more banana bread while he personally drove over to get the right one. Dumped in a few gallons of fresh antifreeze, capped it, tested the pressure and bam! We were up and running.
They didn’t take credit cards and we didn’t carry cash. I offered to leave my driver’s license or girlfriend as collateral while I found an ATM, but he declined both. We came back with the cash and a couple Celebration Ales for him and his buddy, shook hands and headed back to the hot springs.
Just under an hour of labor, a bunch of antifreeze, a radiator cap and some banana bread for $ 62.50 and two beers (we gave him an even $ 65). Absolutely worth it and I didn’t even get screwed! (At least not by him…)

As a single female who is a ditz when it comes to cars, I trust this place. Took my Nissan 350z into Randy for some funny sounding breaks. He didn’t bs me. He gave me a fair price and finished the job quickly. Can’t say one bad thing about this place.

Randy and crew are the best in Bishop! They take to time not only to fix your problem, and also explain it. If you find yourself in broke down in Bishop, be sure to visit Warrens Automotive.

Stopped in early based upon the one review before mine. I was super impressed with the fast and friendly service! I had what turned out to be a wheel bearing problem which after a test drive and pulling the wheels I was assured I could continue my trip without a disaster. Very reasonable charge for the diagnostic time and evaluation! We towed the car on to Spokane before having the bearings replaced without losing time or sleep worrying. If you’re in Bishop and have car problems; don’t hesitate to call on Warren’s!

Summary
Great attention to detail! Fast! Great prices! Clean!
Narrative
Warren’s specializes in auto repair, not body work.
I had a bolt-​on aluminum plate that had the threads ripped out. Who re-​taps metal — and does a good job? A friend directed me to Warren’s.
Warren’s has the cleanest shop I have ever seen. The tools are clean and organized. The floors are cleaner than most restaurants. The office is immaculate.
Even though Warren’s specializes in auto repair, I asked if they could tap the threads and replace the bolts? Larry checked the plate: Yes!
How long? About an hour.
How much? Inexpensive.
Warren’s did a great job.
Warren’s attention on a small job in a great indicator of what Warren’s does on a big job.
