The Auto & Tire Doctor

This AAA-approved, NAPA-backed shop has been a Truckee mainstay since the 1980s. Run by ASE-certified technicians, they tackle everything from oil changes and engine diagnostics to RV and fleet repairs.

Quality Automotive Servicing

Quality Automotive Servicing frames itself as Truckee’s home team in auto care. Owners Bill and Sheila Greeno focus on honest, knowledgeable service backed by ASE-certified staff and a modern facility. They offer dealership-level maintenance — from 30,000‑mile servicing to GMC expert care — while keeping things human: free local towing, member perks like warranty protection and barter‑style community programs. With weekend hours and two above-shop apartments to support community housing, their involvement extends beyond car care.
