Parallax Auto was able to do what none of the other shops were unable to do. Professional and great work ethic. They share a commitment to get the job done right with a fair price

My 2002 Honda CR-V had been having noisy car issues for a time. Then, Sat night I couldn’t get my car out of park at a drive in so I needed to find out what was really going on. I called one mechanic who was booked and recommended Sam at Parallax Automotive. I liked Sam’s demeanor on the phone so I drove right over. His shop was about 30 min away just off Rancho, north of the NLV airport . I talked with Sam briefly and told him what’s been happening and wanted to bring it inside to get a better look. I was instantly impressed with bright, clean, organized shop with more than 6 bays. Sam estimated the. work to take maybe two hours—he kept me abreast of the progress. I was making calls for work, so I was busy. They had trouble getting on final belt and ended up needing a whole new part to make the belt work. They didn’t charge me because the missed diagnosed it’s need. The end product is a much quieter, smoother running car and confidence that I will be cared for as we tackle the next on the list. I’ve been through numerous repair shopsmechanics and that means a lot me. I’ve already recommended Parallax to a friend in need. Thanks to Sam and his entire crew.

My vehicle is currently being serviced at Parallax Automotive and I have to say Sam is the BEST hands down, during this whole process Sam has kept me informed and updated with the status of my vehicle. I appreciate all he has done to make this a comforting experience. Thank you again Sam and Parallax Automotive you have earned a customer in me.

I do almost all of the work on my own vehicle, from maintenance to modifications. Sam and the folks over at Parallax are the ONLY other people I will let touch my car. Knowledgeable, affordable, and trustworthy. No one here is going to rip you off or suggest unnecessary work. They are also very efficient and get work done in a timely manner. Highly recommend heading to Parallax if you're having issues with your car or even if you're interested in some routine maintenance. Remember folks, regular maintenance is always cheaper than waiting until something fails!

Omg this place is terrific! Sam and his team are great! I couldn't get in with the kia dealership, and Sam was able to get me an appointment right away. Sam will NEVER over price you just because you are a woman or not knowing about cars. His service is AMAZING! He was able to get my car done right away within 3 -4 hrs. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone. Thank you again Sam my car works perfectly. I'm Ashley with the blue kia ;) You have a forever client!

It’s always hard to find a mechanic that doesn’t seem like they’re taking advantage of you. I was pleased with the service Sam and his crew did on my truck. The cost came in under than what I expected and the work was performed in a timely manner. I will definitely be taking all my vehicles to Parallax Automotive moving forward.

Highly recommend Parallax! I’ve been going to multiple auto shops over the years and now I have found one I want to continue going to. The owner, “Sam” and his staff are amazing. I always leave there knowing I’ve had the best mechanics work on my car and I didn’t overpay. Thanks guys! See you for my next oil change:)

Parallax was incredible! Sam was communicative throughout the whole process. He always kept me ahead of what was going on and needed. He did nothing without first asking if it was OK. They were fast, and thorough and extremely trustworthy, not to mention very reasonable as far as pricing goes. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

Would recommend parallax automotive to anyone looking for fair, reliable, and fast service. what I liked most was the lack of the upsell! They told me all the issues I had with my car, let me choose What I wish to have done and we’re upfront about the pricing. Yes, I will be recommending them to all my friends!

As we turning into our street, the power steering failed, heard slight grinding noise and the red engine warning light illuminated. Since we were approximately 100 feet from our garage, we continued into our garage. Called the warranty company and Sam/Parallax Automotive was an approved shop. Had car towed and Sam diagnosed and completed the steering problem (gasket on main fan belt pulley/crankshaft had deteriorated) _ car is a 22 year old small Chevy SUV. Since he already had the car, I requested he look at the brakes and shocks - the brakes had just started making a little noise occasionally and I knew the shocks were shot too. He came back and confirmed the my suspicions but surprised me when he said that if it was his car- he would hold off on the rear brakes as they did not need replacement yet! He also serviced the A/C and when we drove away - felt like a new car! I most highly recommend Sam and Parallax - professional, efficient, polite and honest!

Great mechanic. Honest and friendly. Very reasonably priced. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable.Not like most mechanics they will not try to sell you things that are not absolutely necessary for proper maintenance and safety in your vehicle. I recommend if you have a car and you want to make sure it is properly taken care of you don't have to worry about shady stuff this is the place to go 100% of the time. Sam and Luke are amazing.

I was referred to this mechanic shop when my Audi TT was unable to pass the SMOG test by a friend. After going to Parallax Automotive I was greeted by the owner/operator with a professional and welcoming greeting. Once the diagnostic was completed I was immediately informed of the findings and discussed the options. The work was done quickly and thoroughly. There wasn't any moment when I wasn't involved in what was to be done at any time. I highly recommend to anyone if their vehicle is in need of a small or large job. AAA+++

My wife and I were traveling home on the second leg of our 2600 mile trip when our car experienced catastrophic engine failure around 75 miles NW of Vegas. We were rescued from the desert and taken to Parallax Automotive, where our experience began with this business. After the diagnostics, it was determined our car needed another engine. I was quoted the cost of two different engines that we readily available if I decided to go that route. After considering my options...I chose to replace the engine. There were several "snags" during the process stemming from the engine supplier. I was informed of every issue that arose and given the solution that Parallax was executing. Okay, an already long story shorter, Sam and the crew there installed a total of THREE engines until they got the job completed. Extra work on the engine was needed to ensure our car's repair met our expectations. This included new spark plugs, fuel filter, catalytic converter on the rear bank, ignition coils and a timing set to sort out some issues. I am confident that no aspect of engine replacement was overlooked. It took quite a bit longer than expected, but we could not be happier with the results. For a relatively small cost, we now have a rejuvenated vehicle that will continue to serve us well into the future. The delays were not in Parallax's control and were very taxing for all. Sam was upfront with every aspect of the process and easy to communicate with. After taking our car to them and deciding to get it repaired, my wife and I returned home. Sam kept us informed and kept assuring me he would fix our car. Believe me, he was true to his word! I picked the car up and drove it 1000 miles home. It drove like a new car and I can't say enough about the honesty, fairness and integrity of Sam Dains and Parallax Automotive! True friend and a mechanic you can trust your automotive issues with! Thank you Parallax!!!

Sam and his technicians at Parallax Automotive are very knowledgeable, honest, and have done great work on my vehicles. I highly recommend them! So far I’ve had them do valve cover gasket on my Honda, replace the engine in my 4 runner, and do the timing chain on my Chrysler. I will surely come back for anything else my vehicles need.
