Yosemite Village Garage

Tracy and his staff were extremely helpful to my fiancé and I when our car broke down at the summit, about 12 miles from the valley floor. It was about 20 minutes to close, they confirmed that my insurance company would be able to reimburse me for the tow, and they sent a truck with one of their best mechanics to sort the problem on the spot.
Being the only garage for miles, they have all of the cards when customers like myself walk in, but they stayed after closing, and went the extra mile to make sure my problem was solved, and didn’t charge me for the repair, just the standard tow rate.
Yosemite valley is lucky to have these guys who run a fantastic garage and put customers first.

Charged me $ 200 (paid in advance) to drive out to Yosemite West and fix a slow leak in a tire. When the tech arrived he couldn’t find a leak and didn’t have any fix-​a-​flat (no one told him it was a small leak) so he filled it up and escorted me down to the next gas station. I should say the tech was really nice and tried to help.
When I got all the way down to Oakhurst, the tire place found a nail in my tire in about 3 minutes and patched it for $ 20!
Hope you enjoy that $ 200 Yosemite Garage! Thanks for nothing.

I have been going to Yosemite Valley for years and years. Every time I go to the Village Store I always look at the Auto Shop and wonder how it would be working in there. I recently got into Automotive Mechanics going to school getting my education and working at Walmart tire lube Tech Express I’m learning alot… hopefully I’ll be able to work at the Garage in Yosemite Valley it looks very koo :)

Dear Jason, Bob, and Drew,
When I got stranded 300+ miles from home in the middle of Yosemite, you all went the extra mile to get my car running again and for a very reasonable price. Thank you for everything.

After staying the night in Yosemite wound up with a dead battery and had not brought jumper cables. (And although surrounded by cars, rentals don’t come with them either.) Had to call AAA and they were there very fast with the jump, only to find out the battery was toast.
Drove over to the garage and they were helpful and quick with getting us a new battery and replacing it. I was concerned that they might rape us for the cost since they are kind of the only game in town, but they were very fairly priced.
And a few weeks after we got home we received a thank you postcard in the mail!

Unfortunately I’ve had to visit the garage in Yosemite Village a few times. The last thing you want to do on your vacation is have car trouble but thank goodness these guys are there and know what they’re doing. Because they are the only garage in the valley they could charge whatever they want but I feel they were more than fair, efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Kevin at the garage for helping us with new tire after ours blew out on the way to Yosemite.

These guys are the worst. I went to them with a simple problem — a null battery and asked for a new one. They did not have spare batteries in stock so they tried charging a battery that would not charge (which I indicated at the onset) and charged me $ 110 for it. My car was in limp-​home mode but they were convinced I had a broken transmission. When I requested that they tow my car to another garage they made me wait for 2 hours before telling me that all their tow trucks were broken. They are in business only because of the remote location and are a bunch of useless mechanics.

Our car broke down while visiting the yosemite park. Everyone at the village shop was extremely diligent and helpful, including helping us get rides to and from the shop. Thank you for quickly fixing our car and saving our vacation!

I find it hard to believe, but no one has written a review for the Yosemite Village Garage yet! These guys ROCK.
After driving 10 hrs to Yosemite, I was somewhat out of it and locked my keys in the Jeep. Called AAA and they sent over a guy from the Garage to unlock my car. Problem with this was that I wasn’t there. So, they unlocked the Jeep and took the keys back to the shop (5 min. by electric cart). 1 call later the guy returns with keys and has me John Hancock on the AAA forms. Nice.
2 days later… I am noticing an odd sound coming from the engine. As though a belt is about to break or something is trapped in the fan. Anyway, I drove into the parking lot to assist Travis with jumping his Tacoma, Taylor pops the hood and attaches the jumper cables. We hear that odd sound, then oil squirting, metal flakes flying and a deafening sound have rendered my engine silent. It just stopped. I start it again, only to hear Taylor give me a LOUD «WHOOAA». It appears that the bearings of the power steering pump are off-​kilter and belching out more metal shavings and fluid.
Taylor and Travis decide to tow me to the Garage (much better than the whole AAA cycle of events).
Mike, Drew, Eric and Rodney all played a part in helping me out. The diagnosis was on par with our assumptions, part was ordered and delivered by 8am the next day, labor cost was only 1 hr, check engine light was reset AND I drove 12 hours home (through Toulumne and Bishop) without any more issues. I am going to send them a personal thank you letter also because they were fast and efficient. Yosemite is a destination, I could have been trapped, depending on the part and make/​model of my car.
FYI — just received a thank you postcard today from the Yosemite Village Garage Staff. Wow.
