Auto Stop

Incredible. I was driving through bozeman on a cross country road trip in an 88 vanagon and had heard of their excellent service from a friend. Though he was booked for the day, he came out to take a look at the engine since I had been having problems with it. Fixed up some loose ends and told me a few things to try cheaply. Really honest and knowledgeable.

I can’t say enough about these guys. While driving across the country to get to Bozeman the oil plug on my suburban started leaking. Since I was staying in a campground and couldn’t do my own repair, I bought an oversized plug and took it to another shop and asked them to do an oil change and replace the plug by cutting new threads with the oversized plug. The other shop put the new plug in and ruined the threads (they used an impact wrench to put it in) and presented me with an estimate of 12 hours of work and $ 1350 to replace the oil pan.
A little research showed the alldata estimate for that job at 5 hours, so I took the truck to Auto Stop and asked them to look at it and do the work if they could replace the oil pan in less than 6 hours. A day later I got a call that the truck was ready. When I got there they explained that they were able to drill out the old plug and install a new oversized plug. The bill was only $ 131, and that included another six quarts of oil.
Needless to say, these guys will be getting my business when I need repair work done.

Just like the other reviewer, I had a radiator issue. My fan exploded and punctured the radiator. I dealt with Dan and he was just great. Honest, trustworthy and set expectations correctly in terms of time line and what I could expect for cost. I am in the middle of restoring said Rover and will continue to bring it to them, time and time again. Great guys, convenient downtown location and they are expanding their shop to better service customers. I am sold.

Amazing service! My car lost its water pump and a few coolant hoses Randy and his staff were prompt easy to work with and fair on pricing. So grateful to have my car back and to know my little Chevy was in good hands.
