“Who is the best auto repair shop in Livingston, Montana?”

There isn't one official "best" shop. Based on online reviews, these are the most consistently recommended auto repair shops in Livingston:

Highly rated on CARFAX

• Greybeard Automotive, 306 S 12th St. Rated 4.8 stars across 53 verified reviews, with 872 users saving it as a favorite. That's the most of any local shop and probably the strongest overall reputation. Reviewers describe the staff as friendly and helpful.
• Cold Smoke Automotive (Cold Smoke Diesel and Auto Repair), 1022 E Park St. Rated 5.0, but from only 3 reviews. Customers call it honest and fast, and it also handles diesel work.
• Livingston Motor Company. Rated 4.6 across 119 reviews. It's a good choice for dealership-type and recall work.

Top picks on Yelp

Yelp's list includes Paradise Auto, American Automotive (it also names this one for engine repair), Nick's Big Sky Garage, Monte's Auto Repair, A-1 Muffler & Auto Repair, Parker Repair and Larry's Foreign Car Repair, which is useful for imports.

For quick jobs like oil changes and tires

Special Lube of Livingston (5.0, 44 reviews), Pony Express Lube Center (4.9) and Big Brand Tire (4.9).

My suggestion: For general repairs, start with Greybeard Automotive because it has the most reviews and favorites. For diesel or engine work, try Cold Smoke or American Automotive. Before you book, call to ask about availability and get a quote, since small-town shops can be backed up for weeks.
