Chevron Bishop Creek

These guys are incredible! My 99 Dodge Ram van broke down on me 40 miles south of Bishop on an LA — Reno — PDX road trip. No idea what happened, the engine cut out while I was going full speed with no warning. Managed to get it to the side of the road and have it towed to Bishop by about 1pm. While I was waiting for the tow, I checked the fluids (all fine), tried to start it back up and it cranked fine, but wouldn’t fire. Aaaand that’s about the extent of my roadside expertise. :P
Bishop Automotive Center was the only local shop that could have a look the same day, which was huge because I figured I’d already lose a day in getting it diagnosed & fixed. The crew started looking into it as soon as we got the van off the tow truck. Within about 90 minutes they narrowed it down to either a bad crank position sensor or ignition coil. The local parts store only had the coil in stock, so they tried that first. Bingo! Fired right up and I was back on the road by 4:30.
These guys know their stuff, are super friendly and helped me out when I needed it. And I’m now writing this from Portland with a 100% running van.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Stopped in for some RV repair questions and Nate and his crew was a Wikipedia of information. And I found out Nate use to work for Onan generators so that is good information for generator problems. All sound to be good and honest people and labor rate is $ 99 an hour across the board no matter if it’s diesel, van, RV or a car. Thank you guys for your help!!!

If you’re heading from Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes, congratulations you’re almost there. Just about another 30 minutes to the resort. On the other hand if you’re heading back to LA, will you pick a decent place to fill up. Gas prices here are about $.50 cheaper than they are at Mammoth. But they’re still about $.10-.15 more than Lone Pine if you can make it all the way there. And once again don’t be fooled by the posted gas sign prices, they are deceiving and only valid if you’re a Vons member, or paying with cash. Happy travels my friends.

One of the better Chevron gas stations. Good friendly service, no matter what time of day. Clean bathrooms. Never had an instance where it wasn’t clean nor without bathroom supplies. Bathroom always smells good (which is a good indication it is well-​maintained). So, even though there are other gas stations who have cheaper gas prices, i always gas up here for the service alone. Keep up the good job!

This business is also know as: Bishop Automotive Center
I recently had the timing belt go out on my 1995 Toyota pickup. Upon arrival at this repair shop I was greeted by the resident expert in Toyota trucks. He listened to my description of the symptoms and quickly narrowed down the possible problems. After quickly determining that the timing belt was gone, they worked up a reasonable quote for the repairs. All of this happened on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. The shop was busy, but they helped me immediately.
The repairs were done exactly as specified in the estimate. They also had the truck ready one day sooner than expected. They are friendly and fair. My truck runs great!

The shop has a fantastic crew. They’ll employ a no bull, get the job done, charge a fair price tactic — the best kind. On my roadtrip, my Jeep catastrophically broke down high in the Buttermilks, and I rolled it all the way into town by around 3−4pm. They spent all next day working on it, saved me who knows how much by finding the much simpler root problem. Did I mention the store owner allowed me to camp behind the shop, seeing as I was stranded without my car? Good people.

This is mainly for the auto shop behind the station. We pulled in at 1:30pm the Saturday of memorial day weekend with brakes that had started grinding just as we pulled into town. They were busy but squeezed us in for a brake inspection and repair while we headed over to the rodeo. The car was done by 4pm, and the price of the repair was reasonable.
