10.21.23: Every once in a while there's this pack of coupon cards that get thrown out onto our driveways in a baggie. I've always remembered there's a smog coupon included and knew my registration would be due soon and had saved it for when I needed it. Well today was the day. I went to A+ and I was there for no more than 15 minutes. The man who helped me and performed the smog was really nice and even asked how my day was going. The value of saving almost 10 bucks is definitely worth it and if I didn't have a coupon, I would come here anyways because of how nice they treat their customers.

Christian is a unique individual that I have watched, slightly mentored, partially trained for a short bit; build a business that I am proud of. Being a Master Mechanic myself, allowing any other human to touch my own personal vehicle takes an immense amount of trust. Can you imagine being a surgeon but not being able to operate on your own family but compelled to refer elsewhere? WOW!! This is the level of trust, more so faith, that I have In Christian. I know how he operates. That is all. My truck is running smoothe, on time, ahead of time, and to the penny. My guy!!!

Christian at A+ offered great customer service and got my vehicle in a timely manner. After checking over his work I think he did a good job and was very professional. 10/10 would recommend and will be using them again. I will be taking all my vehicles here for now on.

Made an appointment to get the oil changed in my drive units (50k mile service) on my Dual Motor Tesla Model 3 and was able to get it taken care of within a week of calling. Got the car in and out in just a few hours. Reasonable rates, timely work, and exceptional service. Since my warranty expired, this is the only shop in town I'll trust my Tesla with. Thanks Christian!

Christian is an honest guy who doesn't overcharge like most other shops I've dealt with. He is smart and straightforward, he never tried to upcharge me. Definitely recommend this shop!

I bought a used car few months ago. When I heard about Reno A+ Automotive & Smog I already paid $1100 for the front brakes at Tire Plus. I asked Christian for a quote, and it was $350. I couldn’t believe it that I paid $1100 when I could have paid much less. recently , my car had an issue when I backed up and barked, the traction control light came on and the steer wheel became hard to move. I had to turn the engine off and on, to get it back to normal. Also, I noticed , the front lights were changing the intensity when I was driving. I dropped my Mazda 3 off there. He took a quick look and said that maybe the steer wheel pump and alternative hah problem, but he emphasized that he wanted to investigate more to ensure he was changing the right part and fixing the issue. I loved his approach. Few hours later, he came back to me with some pictures, showing that the main issue was the battery harness. This demonstrated his expertise in detecting the issue. However, the important part was his morality behavior, which I haven’t seen in other repair shops in my more than 18 years of living in Reno. Every repair shop tries to rip off the customer on the parts. He told me he found the harness in Reno for $1500 but he was going to do a little additional search to see if he could find a cheaper price if I have time. Finally, he patiently found the same harness for $500 included shipping from other state. The part came in, he changed the harness instead of the steer wheel pump or the alternative and the issue was fixed. My car was back on the road with $775 including part. This honesty and expertise are invaluable and hard to find both in one person.

THE BEST AUTO SHOP ⭐️🤩 Called to get an estimate for an a/c recharge and went there same day. Christian helped me and was the absolute best auto mechanic I have ever worked with. He asked questions and was upfront and honest with me. We encountered an issue with a missing bolt and he showed me a picture. The freon blew out. He only charged me for one recharge and had the bolt. He also noticed that my wheel well plastic was ripped and offered to cut that off and pin it for a drive home. He charged me the price I was quoted. I would recommend this shop to anyone if they do what you need. Friendly, professional, honest and THE BEST OF RENOS SMALL BUISNESSES.

First and foremost, Christian is one of the most honest and upfront master mechanics. I was coming from California to Reno for my daughter and son-in law's wedding when my car was having some issues. They had me go to A+ Automotive and Smog to have Christian look at my car only to find horrible repairs from the mechanic down here in California. Christian was knowledgeable, reasonable and honest on what needed to be done for me to get home safely, my car never ran better getting home, thanks to him. On top of repairing my car, Christian gave me a detailed description and pictures of the faulty repairs (some fixed with duct tape, glue and missing parts) for me to go back and approach the mechanic's here in CA. Due to his help I was able to recover some of the expenses from the previous mechanic. I would strongly recommend A+ Automotive and Smog. If I had to have a reason to move to Reno, besides my daughter and son-in-law, it would be to have an excellent mechanic, Christian.

I’ve known Christian for many years and he has helped me with several car projects, so when I reached out to him, I was confident that he could fix my air conditioning that had been out for two years. Not only was he knowledgable about what he was dealing with but in between sessions (because it took two days to diagnose and repair the AC) he was transparent with me about what was happening, what the cost would look like, and what the next steps would be. He knows what he’s doing and he offers his service with integrity and quality first. Highly recommend to anyone in the Reno area to give him a visit!

After reading all the positive reviews about A+ Automotive and Smog we decide to take our truck there and they did not disappoint. Christian had our truck done in a timely manner and pricing was fair. We definitely recommend and will be returning customers.

I called all around town checking prices to get my A/C fixed and this place was definitely the best price in town. Christian was helpful and explained the whole process to me. The customer service was 10/10. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone needing car service done.

Came for a smog check and was in and out in under 5 minutes! Price was fair and the owner was able to help me with some questions I had about the DMV.
