Tom Tuhey’s Auto & Truck Repair

Terrible service. No companionship at all! They kept saying we don’t serve your kind here. We were trying to call AAA and they kept shouting you need to get out of here «CHIGGERS» I know exactly what they were implying when they called us «chiggers». I won’t say the name because it is very disrespectful to my people. But I’ll give you a hint it starts with N and rhymes with chiggers.

Unbelievably rude. We drove over from San Jose and our engine started making weird noises and shaking, which I assume has something to do with the engine mount. We drove with the hazard light on slowly .3 miles, just enough to get to this nearby auto shop. When we arrived, the first thing they said was we don’t serve your kind.
They would not even bother to look at the engine or anything. We asked if there were other places nearby that might be able to help, which they replied with a rude no. As our car is broken, we asked if we could pull aside to an open parking spot in the back and they said we had to leave.
Go to sierra instead.

We live in the Bay Area but we have a vacation home in Kings Beach. On a recent trip up to Lake Tahoe, my check engine light came on. I called Tuhey’s since we had taken another vehicle here before They told me they didn’t have time and told me to call someone else! While I completely understand that sometimes businesses are busy, they weren’t even willing to find a time over the course of two days to plug in the diagnostic computer and tell me if the problem is serious or not before I make the 4 hour drive home.
I called Sierra Tires & Automotive and they said to bring our vehicle over anytime during the day. I showed up and all of their bays were filled with vehicles. They came out right away, plugged in their computer, diagnosed and fixed the problem– all within 15 minutes. When I offered to pay for their services, they politely declined, shook my hand and told me to have a great day. This is where we will be taking our vehicles from now on.

We needed a «Star» smog test, shops in Truckee I visited didn’t have the equipment. Tuhey’s was able to take the car the morning I called and had all the certifications needed. The job was done very quickly and they didn’t try to sell me anything. Waiting room was comfortable but definitely no frills, I didn’t care as I was happy to have the job done so painlessly and efficiently.

Tom and Holly got got my Jeep in and out for a smog in under an hour. Great service from nice people!

I was on Thanksgiving vacation when the serpentine belt (and a pulley) on my dad’s Mercedes busted. My Dad was driving back to Oregon in just three days. When I called, they confidently said they could take care of it. We showed up in the morning. They had already done homework on what they would need based on my call the night before. Though they didn’t have the parts on site, they called around and secured the parts through their network. Within four hours the car was drivable again. They even offered to take us to and from our condo, so we wouldn’t have to wait around. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and trustworthy. I definitely recommend them. I waited to write this review until after vacation, just to see if my dad would make it back to Oregon without any problems. He did. Great work Tom!

Honest honest honest. Great service and very knowledgeable, Tom probably has more certifications than anybody in tahoe.

I highly recommend Tom Tuhey’s Auto & Truck Repair.
My car was making a strange sound and I was concerned to make the drive home to the Bay Area. Tom and his son, Mike, were great at discovering the cause of the noise. They were very careful and organized in their approach to solving the problem. I was confident in their knowledge and skill. The price they charged was quite reasonable. I am glad to have discovered a good mechanic in Kings Beach.

They smog’d my jeep cherokee and helped me out quite a bit. Very nice and friendly!
I recommend it.

Our car had some problems when we were up snowboarding in Tahoe. We needed to get the car somewhere close. We called Tom. He answered the phone promptly and answered all of our questions. We brought the car in. He looked it over promptly. He took care of the problem quickly and accurately. The prices were very fair. He was so thorough that he even checked our tire pressure, added air because it was a touch low and even crawled under the car to check our spare. I highly recommend this mechanic.
