Featured Offer

Free 65-Point Inspection with Qualifying Service

Know the real condition of your vehicle. When you bring your car in for a qualifying service, our technicians inspect 65 key points — brakes, tires, fluids, battery, suspension, belts, and more — and walk you through what needs attention now, what can wait, and what looks great.

  • Catch small problems before they become expensive ones
  • Clear, no-pressure explanation of every finding
  • You decide what gets done — nothing is repaired without your approval

Offer applies with a qualifying paid service. See complete offer details and eligibility.

Common Questions

Auto Repair Questions, Answered Straight

Do I need an appointment?
Appointments help us serve you fastest — schedule online or call 775-384-2098. If something urgent comes up, call us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can look at it same-day.
Can you diagnose a check-engine light?
Yes. We run professional computer diagnostics to find the actual cause behind the code — not just read it and guess. You get a plain-English explanation before any work begins. Learn about our diagnostics.
Do you accept extended warranties?
We accept most extended warranty plans and help you through the claim — evaluating the concern, reviewing coverage, and communicating with the provider. See how warranty repairs work.
Can you help file a warranty claim?
Yes — claim-handling assistance is part of our warranty repair service. We help with the paperwork and provider communication, and deductible assistance is applied when your plan makes it eligible.
What does the 65-point inspection include?
Brakes, tires, suspension, fluids, battery, belts, hoses, lights, and more — 65 key points checked with a qualifying service, then explained to you clearly. See the full inspection list.
Do you work on all vehicle makes?
We service most makes and models — domestic and import. Call 775-384-2098 and tell us what you drive; we'll confirm before you book.
How long will my diagnostic appointment take?
It depends on the issue — some diagnostics are quick, others take longer to trace properly. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you book, and we'll call you before doing anything beyond the diagnostic you approved.
Do you offer Spanish-speaking assistance?
Sí — hablamos español. You can discuss your vehicle's diagnosis and repairs comfortably in Spanish, by phone or in person.
