#1Tow Truck ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m very grateful and thankful to God for Brad and his amazing crew, they are truly Angels. I had a really bad experience my car got stuck during the snow storm on 2/7 at 11 pm on 6 East towards Queen Canyon Rd on the side of the road. It was a really scary experience and it was below 30 degrees. I was beyond scared and feared for my life since the semis kept sliding and black rock ice were hitting my car. I unfortunately called the wrong ppl named “Wolfpack Towing and Recovery” Ppl plz be aware and don’t make the same mistake like I did! On the phone they stated it was a certain price and when they charged my card it was way more than agreed. Second red flag they were stalling and never communicated. I was stuck on the side of the road and my life was in danger and I honestly thought I had no hope. I was there from 11 pm to 9 am the next morning. I didn’t receive no courtesy call or txt from them until I kept calling and they simply said the driver was not even at the destination he was home and wouldn’t be able to pick me up because he had to go to a funeral. Mind you they charged me close to 500 dollars and they had no compassion or empathy in letting me know they simply didn’t care. I was livid and started to worry because the snow was caving in, it was below 30 degrees and here I am in the middle of no where with half a tank and it was really cold. All the tow trucks I called were really rude and declined to drive and do their job as a tow truck. As soon as I called BISHOP CARE CENTER they were really compassionate and helpful. They said YES right away we can go get you send me the info. I was crying at this point and they treated me with respect and compassion. And the price was very reasonable compared to other ridiculous high prices. Brad came to the rescue and I was finally saved. If you want to feel heard and respected but most of all valued call Bishop Care Center. They treat you as family and they really love their profession. They’re kind and generous and keep their word when they say they got you! Thank you Bishop Care Center for everything you do. You guys are amazing and I’ll forever be thankful to you all.

These guys got through my oil change quick & easy and alerted me to my need for new tires. I hadn’t realized the tread was so worn down but they showed me specifically where the tires presented a risk for driving. I appreciated that it sincerely felt like this automotive shop wasn’t trying to just sell me something, they were also letting me know something important about my personal safety. I plan to get the new tires there but am still arranging safe transit back to Bishop.

Added, 2/3/25: I couldn’t figure out how to post an additional review, but these guys would totally get another 5 star review. After following their advice and driving safe as I could manage back to Bishop (don’t even Attempt getting your car worked on in Tonopah, fyi), they had all four tires on within about an hour for less than the quoted price, and with a surprise $50 Firestone gift card to boot. I’ll happily continue making the trip to Bishop for any and all needs that arise with my vehicle. These dudes are legit.

We had outstanding service from Nate, Tyrell and Orion. While on a road trip our Campervan needed the tires balanced and we drove down from Mammoth because of the positive Google reviews and and it was worth it. These guys are very professional and offer top-notch service!

My daughter was alone on a long road trip and needed a new tire in Bishop as she had a blowout in Mojave and limped up to Bishop on her donut spare in the middle of the night. Called Tyrell first thing in the morning. He confirmed they had the size and would take care of my daughter as soon as she could make it in. She hurried over and was taken care of right away and send on to complete her trip. Appreciate the fast and friendly service.

I had this shop replace a flat/blown tire years ago. The experience was ordinary. A few days ago my vehicle engine was overheating on my way home to the Bay area due to a severe coolant leakage. I walked into this shop across street from O'Reiley Auto Parts trying to seek help. After some waiting by me and then my briefing of my vehicle problem, the front desk person bluntly told me, before I finished briefing, without usual customer greetings: they had no time and that I should not even bring my vehicle in for them to take a look. My complaint is their bad attitude and their no concern about a customer's emergency situation.

This is the best, and most honest auto shop in the area. Nate and Brad saved my family and I. We were staying in Mammoth during a cold 2023 winter storm, so cold that my diesel fuel jelled up!! I could not start the vehicle! With another bigger storm inbound, and temperatures only getting colder, (single digits) we were desperate for help. Brad the tow truck driver braved the snow covered 395 up to Mammoth, and got my truck onto the flat bed. He safely drove us down to Bishop, in the dark, and off loaded my truck into the warm shop garage. Nate the shop owner kindly kicked up the heater in the garage, and was confident that the truck would start in the morning. Brad dropped me off at a motel where I spent the night. The next morning Brad picked me up on his way to the shop, and sure enough my truck was out of the garage, in the parking lot idling warming up! I was good to go! Nate and Brad are kind, salt of the earth people who love what they do. My family and I a very grateful for them.

I am so pleased with the service and rates we got from Bishop Automotive. We got six new tires put on (they had the ones I wanted in stock) and then ordered new shocks for the bus (came in within 2 days).

Nate and his dad Rick were extremely helpful and kind as they got us set up. Nice waiting area. I personally saw them treat their workers with respect and dignity and it showed throughout their shop.

(Note: Six new tires took less than 2 hours. 4 new shocks about the same. Went next door and got a snack and waited outside in the picnic/dog area with trees and grass and enjoyed the sunshine while I watched them work.)

Had gone off road earlier in the day, got a rock cut in tire, irreparable. The guys at Bishop Automotive Center fit us in, gave us a great price and ended up buying 4 new tires! Installed same day. Excellent service!
