Are you kidding me?! I will never take my car anywhere else unless Juan doesn't know what's wrong with it, which is ridiculously rare. I took my car to other "trusted" shop nearby last summer, asked them to find the leaks and call me with an estimate. I took the bus all the way back from Sparks to S Reno, a 3 hour trip, I don't have extra money for a rental and my insurance only covers rentals if I'm in an accident. Boo. Anyway. Get back to work, get a call from the "reliable shop" I'd used so many times before and they say, we have a 4 page printout of everything that's wrong with your car, OK fine. And the leaks? Oh- we couldn't "get to" the leaks, we'd have to tear apart the entire engine. Sooo, you didn't find any leaks, the reason I brought the car in? No, that pound be over $600 just to find the leaks but here's your invoice for the rest of the things we did that you didn't ask us to do. It took another 6 months for me to finally take it to Palominos, money issues of course, and I get a call within hours. We found the leaks, it's several hoses, here's the cost for the parts and the cost for the labor, would you like us to replace the hoses? Are you kidding me? He found them within however long he got my car in the garage and then takes the additional (sadly uncommon) step of asking me if I want the work done? Since then I've had to take it back twice more, for another leak (Murphys Law, it hit 100k and here we are) and to fix the brand new battery replacement I just had a different shop do, which was unexpected because the auto parts store I bought it from told me they'd I stall it for free for me, then decided not to and sent me across the street to an oil change place who charged me over $180 and didn't even install everything correctly, the cables were loose, it kept dying on me and suddenly starting back up, THAT'S a whole NOTHER story. Would I recommend Palominos? Only to every single person that needs car repairs done.

I’ve been using Palaminos for over 10yrs and have never been disappointed. They never have tried to sell me good and services that I don’t need and always at a reasonable price. They always back all of their work and I can always rest assured the job is done right. I’ve had two motors replaced on different vehicles and have bought all my tires and rims from them since 2014. Angel and Chris run one of the last honest shops there are left in the Reno sparks area. Plus for more intricate repairs their head mechanic does a top notch job. Don’t waist your money at these fly by night shops here in this town unless you got a lot of money to burn on shotty work and overpriced tires. I have been recommending them to people in this community for over ten years and will continue to do so!

Customer service here is not the best. Being lied to and time wasted. I stop by In person to get a quote on exhaust kit. I was quoted 150 by the Hispanic male, he just informed me to get the exhaust and he would do it the same day. I ordered the exhaust kit, called them and started getting excuses. We’ll this and we’ll that and etc, so what I was told the first time was nothing but lies. They can’t get you in the same day and the price they quoted you at first is false.

Good guys over here. Brought my 2022 Santa Cruz in to fix a botched exhaust job and they got me in right away and got my car done in less than 2 hours from estimate to completion. I send these guys work from my shop whenever we have overflow or don't do a specific service and they have race reviews from our customers as well. Angel and his guys are great! Thanks again guys.

Made an appointment and i showed up 10 minutes before and they told me they were “busy” and they couldnt work on my car. I had an appointment for weeks. Waste of your time. Do not come here. Workers do not communicate with each other too which causes confusion. My friend got their car worked on here awhile back and they smashed her front bumper into a pole on “accident” too since they forgot to put the car in park. The workers are unprofessional and do not belong in a shop. I highly recommend not taking your car here.

Angel and his team are the best. I bring my vehicle for snow/summer tire swaps twice a year all the way from Truckee. This past week was my 5th tire swap with them. Fair pricing, quick service, always friendly. Won’t go anywhere else!

was looking to get a simple resonator delete. low boost performance recommended to palominos for exhaust work. so i stopped by on like a tuesday just to talk about what i wanted done and see if i could set up an appointment. spoke to tall skinny guy with red beard he said they don’t do appointments it’s first come first serve and to just stop by next wednesday when they open and they could most likely get what i wanted done. wednesday comes around i show up at 8 when they open this time talking to a different guy. bigger dude that seems like boss man. he says his exhaust guy doesn’t get there till 9. i leave and come back an hour later and talk to boss man again and he’s talking/arguing with his employees confused about who i talked to last week that told me i could get work done that day. he ended up telling me they couldn’t do it because there’s a truck that’s been needing to be worked on for a week. dude took my number down and said he’d give me a call the next day because early morning works best for me. it’s been 5 days never got a call. no communication between workers. wouldn’t trust them working on my car after that. woke up early for no reason. do not recommend trying to get exhaust work done there. hard enough trying to find places here to do that but that’s one less shop i’ll be going to.

Love going here to get my tires mounted and balanced when I buy new ones. Only about 90 dollars to get it done and they are quick, knowledgeable and friendly. I believe they just started doing mufflers and exhaust as well!! Definitely recommend Palaminos

This is 2nd of Palominos Tires shop in sparks. 1st one is on S Wells Ave which is my shop to go for almost all repairs including tires wheels. Both Palomino are owned by two brothers. Juan is my original favorite mechanic (S Wells). This is owned by his brother Angel which again is awesome. Very nice

Palominos is a tire and rim shop for sure I took my truck in for a check engine light problem 4days later I get my truck back still with my check engine light on. So now I’m negative the money I paid for service and I still have to fix my truck. My lesson here is make sure it’s a real mechanic working on your car or truck. Now I have to find A new shop to confirm the alleged work and also find the real problem. Very disappointing experience im their neighbor and this is how they treat me. Consumers in sparks beware it’s a terrible feeling throwing hard earned money away
