Full-Service Repair · Reno, NV
One Shop for Whatever Your Car Throws at You.
Engines, transmissions, cooling systems, exhaust, drivetrain — when something breaks, you shouldn't need three different specialists to fix it. Reno Auto Works provides complete general auto repair for most makes and models, with professional diagnostics up front and plain-English explanations before any work begins.
Bring It In When Something's Off
You know your car. When it's not acting right, that instinct is usually correct:
- A new noise — knocking, hissing, squealing, rattling, humming
- A new smell — burning, coolant sweetness, fuel, hot brakes
- A leak spot on the driveway — any color
- Warning lights, rough running, hesitation, or hard shifting
- Overheating, or the temperature gauge running higher than normal
- Something just feels different — and you want a straight answer
Small Symptoms, Caught Early, Stay Small
Most breakdowns announce themselves weeks in advance — a noise, a drip, a light. The cars that end up on tow trucks are usually the ones whose warnings were ignored. Diagnosis is cheap compared to what problems become when they finish developing.
