Been here a few times for various repairs or diagnostics. They do a good job at answering all questions and communicate a lot up front. I did have an instance of being quoted one price, and then it was about 15% more in the end, without permission. I gave them another chance afterwards and was happy about the service, and have been since.

I stopped into this location when I got a major flat and my tires were shot. They took good care of me, gave me several different options for decent tires within my price range and got me back on the road. They were friendly, professional and honest. Thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

I contacted them today to request assistance with repairing a brake line on my truck. The necessary part has been on backorder for nearly two weeks when attempting to get myself. I spoke with Phil, who diligently investigated the issue and explored potential solutions. He expressed concern regarding the vehicle's safe operation and proactively located the part, providing valuable guidance on next steps. Based on this exceptional initial interaction, I anticipate an equally positive experience with future vehicle repairs. Phil's service was truly outstanding! Thank you!

Stopped here on a whim because my oil light came on and it was the first place I could find. I went in and asked if they had the motor oil I needed and the gentleman at the front desk was extremely kind! Not only did he help me, but when he discovered he didn’t have any of the oil I needed left for sale, he combine the two open bottles they had in the shop and gave it to me at no charge. This was totally unexpected and not necessary, but so generous and very much appreciated. I didn’t even know this place existed but will definitely keep it in mind for the future!

I ran into a big issue with my car's steering column and Sierra Car Care was able to quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed in a few days. They were transparent about what costs would be and made sure that I could get back in my car as fast as possible. The cost seems reasonable, and I appreciate the communication from their team.

I never write reviews, but really felt the need after a few experiences with Sierra Car Care. My daughter attends UNR and with me being in a different state it is tough when she has car trouble. Phil and Jose were extremely up front and helpful with me on the phone and with my daughter in person. They understand the importance of her safety and my worries as a parent. I was very impressed with their professionalism, honesty and courtesy. Thank you gentlemen for the peace of mind, your high quality of work, and your genuine concern for your customers.

Phil, Josh, Jose, Larry and Doug always take care of me, they are straight to the point, don’t sugar coat, and make sure you understand everything they are doing. This has been my go to mechanic shop, and my place I stop for Red Bulls and gas for the last 4 years. Phil is very knowledgeable, and I very much enjoy talking to him. I don’t just stop by to get work done or gas, sometimes I stop by just to ask advice and chat it up with the team there. Even if the prices are slightly higher, the turn around and quality of work beats most in Reno. They will not let you throw money out on a junk car, and I respect that. Who would’ve thought a gas station car shop was better than most others? P.S. if you want to get on their good side, bring them donuts. Doug loves donuts. And he also does an amazing job on any tire work you need!

As someone who doesn't know much about cars, I always worry about being overcharged or of dishonest mechanics but Larry, Phil, and Jose have been helping me take care of my vehicles for years and I have had no issues. They are very helpful, upfront, and honest. They are reliable.

Had such a good experience! They found the problem was a disconnected air intake tube and didn't try to upsell me a fuel pump or filter that I thought I would need. Also warned me of my totally unsafe tires- I knew of the problem but don't use the van often, so it wasn't a high priority- got a great deal on the tires, alignment, oil change and battery all done in one day! Phil is great!

Larry and his crew are all about the business. They are a long established pillar on that area of town for a reason. Try them out... You won't be disappointed.

Phil and Ian did a fantastic job quickly diagnosing and fixing my problem. The new battery was a little expensive, but their excellent customer service and impressive knowledge got me back on the road as soon as possible!

I will never bring my car back, and I am advising everyone I can to avoid this shop. I'd been coming here several years up to this point I'm very regular with maintenance (2x yearly) and to be told that we are negligent in any regard is insulting. This is disheartening especially given that every time we ask Phil what else we need to do and is there anything concerning to be looked at while fully prepared to pay and keep the car in tiptop condition. The experience here is incredibly frustrating, my wife will call to itemize a full list of things we wish done to the car on bringing it in, and on drop off they will either not remember the conversation or will leave items previously discussed off the service altogether. I'm willing to repeat the list a few times, and while frustrating as a common experience, it wasn't bad service at least and didn't give me reason to leave this review in the past. Our last service was the worst service to date, and is why I'm leaving this review. Our car needed the front end disassembled but was returned with cracked interior pieces, grease on our steering wheel and center console, wires ripped and left on the floor or hanging from the roof. Just overall very rough. At every phone call we were told different stories, then passed off to different people because we were frustrated about the experience. On pickup, the front person handling keys told my wife several times after she'd asked for keys to stop being emotional and rouned back with why we ruined our car. I'm over it.

Criminally underrated judging by my two experiences stopping by this shop cause I was worried about my car. You can tell Phil specifically loves his trade and loves to help out. I went to three other nearby auto shops and the mechanics refused to even talk to me let alone have a quick look under my hood and they weren’t even as busy as you were. Thank you for looking at my car even though you were busy. It took two minutes of your time but you can’t believe how many other mechanics nearby refused to do that. It means a lot that good genuine people like you are out there trying to help and treating regular folks as people and friends and not necessarily paying customers.

Had to get a tow and I'm glad we chose Sierra for service! The gentlemen who work here have been very kind, informative, and considerate. Service has been prompt and we were given all of the info we needed up front to make a decision. Prices are appropriate and fair. Thanks!!

I was driving though Reno and my car broke down. These guys gave me the truth and recommended path forward (ie junk the car) and they did so in a way that didn't pad their pockets. I appreciate their honesty. They also let me park my DOA car there for an additional week in order for me to get my title from my out of state home and to schedule a junkyard tow.

Phil and his crew are the most kind and honest mechanics I’ve ever met!!! What could have turned out costing me hundreds of dollars to replace a punctured tire ended up only costing me the price of patching up my tire. These guys went the extra mile to make sure my tire was repairable before having a new tire delivered to their station. I would highly recommend this place over any service station in the Reno area any day of the week!!!
