Yellowstone Dino Lube & Repair in
Gardiner (MT)

They were awesome!! They got our car looked at and fixed very efficiently and were very patient with our situation! Also very affordable!

I was lucky my tire went flat a few miles from Dino Lube & Repair. A flat tire in Yellowstone Park could be a bummer! But the guys in Gardiner fixed the flat and then some. It was running near closing time but they took my tire in and patched it up. I credit their service minded nature for getting me back on the road with only a minor interruption of my vacation time.

We noticed on our trip through Yellowstone that our headlights had suddenly both gone out despite being changed just a few months ago. SO grateful for the last-minute appointment here to get them fixed so we could continue our road trip driving at night. The team was great, service was affordable, and it was all done quickly!

I happened to pull in and the throttle was sticking on my Tahoe. They had me back up and running within an hour. I was so glad I was right there! Highly recommend!

We had someone back into us in Yellowstone and break our radiator. The tow truck brought us here. Katie, at the front desk, was amazing! She found the part we needed in a town over an hour away and she figured out a way to get it to the shop by next morning and she helped find us a place to stay and a car to rent. One of the mechanics came in on his day off to do the work for us and our car ran great for the rest of our trip! They were so kind and so helpful! I highly recommend!

I had a lovely experience here. I was on vacation and noticed a strange noise in my car. I took it in and it ended up needed new front brakes. Katy and Shawn welcomed me in and were SO FRIENDLY. I was very distressed about the car. The workers at Dino Lube made a stressful experience so much better.

I went to Yellowstone Dino Lube and Repair because I had a flat tire that I was hoping they could patch. Without even looking at my tire they said it was “irreparable.” They proceeded to tell everyone else that their tires were irreparable too. They charged me $40 to put on a spare tire, so that I could go to a different tire shop. The other tire shop easily patched up my tire with no problem. Don’t go here, they aren’t honest. I was there for awhile, and they told customers “Good luck going somewhere else. We are the only game in town.” Dave yourself some time and hassle, and go to a different shop

Threw a chain and tore a brake hose just as we were starting our Yellowstone RV winter adventure. The manager was able to schedule an appointment first thing the next morning. After a quick inspection they were able to pull some magic and get a replacement brake hose delivered and installed by the afternoon! Excellent service, friendly helpful staff and fair price! Thoroughly recommend.

Truck failed on the last day of our trip with a blown water pump. The shop employees were amazing and did the best they could to get the vehicle assessed, parts ordered, and installed as quickly as possible. Amazing service.

Had an emergency problem on my vehicle that involved my brakes, They were able to fit me in on the same day AND finished it within the day. They did a great job on repairing my car, they saved my Yellowstone vacation! I recommend going to them if you need anything done, especially if you have an emergency.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff. We needed our front left tyre changed at short notice due to uneven wear. Our spare tyre which we realised was over 20 years old was not going to cut the mustard. The Dino team provided us with multiple options to suit our budget and needs. We decided to purchase two new front tyres for longevity and even ware as we were only at the beginning of our road trip, and we would have needed to replace the other tyre in a few months time anyway. They managed to fit us in and had us out and back on the road in an extremely timely manner. We are so grateful for their service and would highly recommend them to anyone in the Yellowstone, Gardiner area. From two happy travelling New Zealanders :)

Had a great experience at this repair shop! We had a leaking tire in Cooke City and, as a last resort, stopped in Gardiner to get it looked at. Despite having a full schedule and us showing up after 4 pm, the Dinolube crew was able to fit us right in and patched up my tire within a half hour. Prices were very reasonable and staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Extremely grateful to them!!??

We jumped in our car early in the morning expecting to beat the crowd into the park and our car wouldn’t start. Our friendly property manager jumped the battery and recommended Dino Lube and Repair. We were back in the park in 2 hours with a new battery. Thank you Sean and your team! Professional and friendly.

When we arrived, their technician instantly diagnosed the problem—the loose wheel had sheared off the wheel studs and most of the bolts were off. They were able to replace the studs but did not have the wheel itself in stock. They called around (including checking at junkyards!) and found a dealership with the part in stock in Jackson, WY. They had us in and out in no time and gave us advice on making it to the dealership on our spare. Thanks to them, we had a complete repair in less than a day! The price was as reasonable as you’d find anywhere. We feel so lucky to have found such caring and knowledgeable professionals to take care of us and our car!

Had some clients renting one of our vehicles have a tire almost shred just inside of the park…We live in Bozeman but are staying in Flathead for the holiday weekend. We were able to get someone to drive tires over from Bozeman and Katy was insanely helpful! I was blowing up the phone trying to coordinate with her and our clients. When the tires arrived she had everyone taken care of in an hours time. The clients were super happy all around with the service and I couldn’t have pulled it off with just any tire shop. Typically they make you feel like a burden or won’t even try to help. This wasn’t the case. She even offered to “talk them down” if it was needed haha. I can’t say enough how much I appreciated her today. Finding good people to work in customer service is almost impossible these days. I highly recommend them! If it were closer to home, I would be a regular customer. Thanks again!

So, we hadn't planned on a brake job while on vacation but here we are. Top notch place, immaculate shop. Sean and Katie are outstanding friendly service techs and the mechanics did great work. Prices in line with level of work performed. If you need service in this area, do not hesitate to place your trust in these folks.

We were located in the park when my husband discovered a coolant leak. He contacted them on a Wednesday (early afternoon) and they told us they work us in to at least diagnose the issue if we could get the car there. They did and the part was ordered and it was fixed by 1:00 the next day. Katie was kind, helpful and communicative with us. Dillon, our mechanic, was top notch! Thank you from your new Florida friends!

The First time I was in Yellowstone, this place saved me by replacing my flat tire. The Second time I was here, it was -20 degrees and air pumps at other gas stations in town have all frozen and stopped working. This place’s air pump has its compressor indoor and the nozzle outdoor and therefore it still has air. It saved my life again. What are the odds of an auto shop in a tiny Montana town saved the same traveller twice?! God bless this place. (Jan 2023) Friendly staff and excellent service. The place received lots of Yellowstone travelers who had a flat tire including me. Luckily they had my type of tire and got it fixed very quickly at an affordable price. Nice and clean waiting area.

My car's oil pan was badly damaged while visiting Yellowstone in May 2022. It had to be fixed (replaced) before we could leave Gardiner to drive more than 700 miles to where we live. Katie and all the other staff that we interacted with were friendly and professional. They also helped work with my insurance company, which was really appreciated. I definitely recommend using this shop!

We had a flat tire as soon as we entered Yellowstone and had to come back out to get it fixed. These guys here were very kind and got us fixed in no time. Nice shop and prices were reasonable. They saved the day for us.

This place is absolutely the best!! Katy and the rest of the team were amazing and made a potentially very difficult situation into a smooth process. The work they did was top notch but it's their customer service that will stick with me, because I have honestly never been treated with so much kindness and consideration at a service station. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you are in the area and need work done they will definitely take good care of you! Thank you Katy and your whole team, my dad and I made it safely all the way to Alaska thanks to you guys!

Super friendly! Had a blow out down the road, turned around and went to Yellowstone Dino Lube! Sean, Katy and Jason were all amazing! Got us fixed up and back in route to Yellowstone NP! They were great super affordable also! Got my tire fixed up and windshield wipers !

I have gone to the Dino Lube several times, and each time is a pleasant experience. I have had my tires switched out seasonally, had an oil change, and they helped solve an issue with a relay in my car. The employees there are always kind and helpful, and explain everything to me in a way that makes sense (since not all of us are mechanically inclined!) I have never felt like they were trying to sell me on something I didn't need or make up issues to get me to spend more money. In my experience they have a high level of both service and integrity. Additionally, the waiting area inside the shop is very well-lit and clean. There's plenty of seating and they have a selection of phone chargers to use while your car is being worked on.

Such a great team here — and total trip-savers! When my car started smoking 5 miles into Yellowstone, they got me into a rental and back on the road within an hour and fully repaired within 24, without missing a beat of my trip. Katie and everyone were in close contact as they assessed what was wrong (a busted hose) and fixed it as quickly as possible. So grateful to them all!

If you ever need help with your vehicle, please go here!! Wonderful and reasonably priced service! We were just arriving at Yellowstone National Park at 8pm and we hit a rock along the side of the road which caused a flat tire. After we checked in to our cabin, we went online and looked for somewhere close to get the tire repaired or replaced. We found this website and saw it was given 5 stars and it was a short drive. The next morning we arrived at Dino Lube and repair at 7:30am. They pleasantly greeted us and replaced our tire within 20 mins!! What a relief it was when you are in a vulnerable position not knowing the area or anyone! The price was very reasonable! Katie also gave us tips on places to see when in Yellowstone. Thank you very much! Soo thankful for them!

Went in without appointment during the busy season (late July) hoping to get my flat tire replaced. They happened to have the right sized tire at a reasonable price and had it installed on the wheel in about 1.5 hr and I was back on the road. Very happy with the service considering my situation and them stopping their busy schedule to help me out.

We had an emergency while vacationing. We took the car in the afternoon and they were already slammed. They were able to squeeze us in, fix our vehicle, tell us what they did to fix the vehicle and do it in a very timely manner. The young lady at the front desk was extremely upfront, honest, cordial with great customer service. The price for the fix was cheaper than any auto repair shop I have ever taken my vehicle. If you have car problems and you are in Yellowstone, I would recommend taking it here.
