The only mechanic I trust in Vegas. Ron is amazing and honest Literally have gone to him for over 5 years and he's always helped me out with no issues. If there's something his shop doesn't handle, then he will refer you to another shop that can. There's not a lot of trustworthy shops in Vegas in Vegas, never had to worry once here. read more

Loved Ron's customer service & care. He took the time to evaluate, explain and physically show me whats needed to be fixed. You can tell Ron values his work ethic. read more

I had a wiring issue with my vehicle. Ron had to take the console apart and found the issue and fixed it it. I have been letting Ron work on my vehicle for years. You will Not find a more knowledgeable or fair mechanic in Las Vegas. So thankful I found him. read more

I went to his shop for a estaminet he told me to call him before bring the car.next day I called him,and left a message he never call me.i wasted my time.this guy is not honest guy. read more

Heard some unfamiliar noises in the car and could not figure out what it was for the life of me. This place came highly recommended by a couple of trusted co-workers, so I decided to roll the dice and check it out. Like the other reviews have stated, Ron is awesome! He came right out with a big smile on his face, introduced himself, and said, "Let's take a look at this!". Within a few minutes, he let me know it was a very minor repair and would only take him 30-40 minutes to take care of! What a huge relief that was! He didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary repairs or talk me into getting something else taken care of before it became a future problem. All of this cost me around $80! This was easily one of, if not the absolute, best auto shop experience I have ever had. I made sure to grab a card as Ron and Arco Auto Center will be getting first shot at all my future business when it comes to my two older vehicles! It's never fun to deal with auto repairs, but Arco Auto Center provided fast, friendly and efficient service! All of this and at very fair prices! Next time you are in need of auto repair, definitely give this place a shot. In advance: You're Welcome! :) 5 stars. Woohoo! As good as it freakin' gets! read more

Another year, another 5 star review from me!:) Still the only Mechanic Shop I take my car to. I tell people I trust Ron with my eyes closed! He has been soooo good to my car and me!. read more

Ron is very honest and will always make time to try to fit your needs into his busy schedule. Fast, reliable and honest service!

This was my first time dealing with a flat tire on my 2016 Honda Civic and Ron was able to squeeze me in during his busy schedule on a weekday. Ron helped identify the broken valve that was the cause and let the technician know what to begin repairing on. He was able to change the spare to the repaired tire in less than an hour (considering I was a last minute addition to their schedule). I was so glad to hear I wouldn't have to replace my tire and that the charge was super affordable. Definitely coming back if I have any issues again. read more

This review is long overdue. Think twice before having any major work done here. Mechanic Mehran (Ron) is not competent. My Honda Accord was due for Timing Belt Change, so I had Ron do the work. I had a hunch that something was not right when it took him 4 days to replace it. Within the first 100 miles of driving the belt snapped, almost causing me to crash as all engine power was lost. The vehicle was towed to Honda dealership and that's where they showed me that the belt Ron used was not up to standard, in fact, it looked like a used belt that he had laying around his garage. Ron's lack of knowledge ended up ruining the pistons in my car which ended up costing me $3000 in repairs. read more

please read this before you take your vehicle here! i would not recommend ron as a mechanic to my worst enemy. first off i have been a loyal high cash paying customer of ron since 2010. back then i had no issues with rons work and i felt he was very honest man. sadly over the years this has changed. currently 2019 i brought my chevy to ron to replace my power steering pump and hose. for a simple job he charged 310.00 he gave a 3 hour labor time frame. my chevy was there 6 days and he tried to charge me more when we went to pick it up for storage!!! while the parts were being ordered because he removed my power steering pump without having the knowledge of knowing what parts he needed to work on my motor?? as we drove down the road my engine that has never smoked or made any noise (besides the noise from a broken power steering pump and leaky hose) started to make noises as if the motor was over heating. i've never had a overheating problem prior to bringing it to ron. ron put my husbands & mines life in danger as we were exiting the freeway coming directly from rons shop we almost lost control of our vehicle when we tried to stop there was no power steering and the brakes locked up and the belts on the pully came off. i immediately called ron in a panic explained what just happened and he said that it wasnt his problem. currently my chevy is not drivable due to ron not properly installing the belts on the pully & power steering pump. do not go here go to a trusted big company with a big name that treats their customers with dignity and respect & that cares about your safety! we are on the way to small claims (hate to take this route ron left us with no choice) best of luck! read more

If I could give out negative stars I would. The one good thing was they were competitively priced. I scheduled an appt for an oil change and alignment. When I showed up to drop the car off he didn't want to take my car because I would not be back before 6pm to pick it up. After some back and forth he decided he would keep the car overnight. When I showed up at 1pm the next day he was caught off guard because they had not touched my car from the night before. I left and came back 3 hrs later. He charged me for the oil change & alignment and I left. On my ride home I tested the alignement. My car veered hard right as it did before I paid for the alignment. I called the shop owner before I even got home and he said to bring it back down and they would fix it. His mechanic did not do the alignment even though they charged me for it. After trying to get my car in the shop for 3 days I asked for my money back. After he refunded my money, he did not return my card causing me to have to go down to his shop for a 4th time. He called me over the weekend and said to come by Monday. I pulled up to his shop and I was greeted by a pink closed sign. When I called the owner he had no excuse for why he told me to come down on Monday if they were closed. By far the worst mechanic experience I have had. Customer service is poor, work is below par, but prices are competative. Stay away if you care about your car at all!! read more

When my car battery died a couple of weeks ago, I got it towed it to the dealership, thinking the battery was still under warranty. Turns out, it wasn't. Not only was the battery NOT under warranty, the dealership wanted to charge me $500 to replace the battery!!! ($220+ for the battery, plus $200+ for an hour and a half of labor to replace the battery, re-configure the car's computer, etc. and so forth.) I almost blew a gasket, literally and figuratively. Someone I know recommended this place to me. I called and without telling him about the dealership, the owner/mechanic quoted me $160 to do the same stuff. I knew this was a fair deal because AutoZone had provided a $148 quote for the battery. (Apparently, my car's battery is in a funky spot so I couldn't make my husband do it, requires a specific foreign battery and needs some kind of computer reconfiguration. Oy!) One jumped car later, I was at Arco Auto Center at 9:30am on the same morning I called. I left the car, and next got a call at 11:00am that it was done and ready to be picked up. The car had a new battery (the same brand/type the dealership said was $220+) and a two year battery warranty. The business itself is situated towards the back of the complex (there's a variety of mechanic shops), so it's not actually visible from Decatur. Just keep driving 'till you hit the wall, literally. I don't know about the whole debit/credit card deal. I paid in cash and got a slight break for paying with cash. Overall, the place was very efficient, fair/reasonable and provides quality work. It's not a fancy place, but I'll definitely take my car there again. No rip-off in my opinion! read more

Ron is a really honest and professional auto repair specialist. I have had him service my cars for more than four years with 5 star service every time. I have had my employees and family friends also take their cars in for service. Every time with positive feedback. He recently did a rear brake job on my wifes car for less than half of what the dealer quoted. It pays to go here. It's not fancy but the repairs will be done right on time every time. 5 Stars for ARCO! read more

The entire staff are nice and professional, the price is half or less than dealership or other mechanics, I have been taking all my cars , trucks to Arco . Thank you read more

Mr Ron is really honest person His prices are fair. Great place. Same day drop off and pick up my cars. I worked with a lot of vegas mechanics but this guy is something unique. Recommend Arco auto center. Ask for MR RON. Just say pete from agam car rental sent you.. lowest price guarantee !!!!# read more

Ron did a great job fixing all of my brakes. Awesome pricing and as I watched, very thorough in his work. He is my new mechanic.

Ron is an honest car mechanic. I trust him completely. He is extremely competent. Never had a problem he couldn't fix. Works on both foreign and domestic cars. read more

Mr Ron is the owner/mechanic everyone wishes all mechanics would be like. Honest, fair, friendly and quick. Hes a very hard working man. He does the work of at least 3 people (Owner, manager, reception, mechanic) and thats why he can give the best prices in town. He just went from having 3 bays to 6 and service is still the same. I was referred to him by a friend 3 yrs ago and now i also refer everyone to him. I recently moved 15 miles further away and i still take my car to him. I dont know what i will do if i ever move away. He may keep me here for ever. Truly one of a kind and a model of success which all mechanics should strive to achieve. I dont review often, only when i feel compelled. 5 stars or 1 stars only. I feel bad it took me this long to review. Sorry Ron, you deserved this a long time ago. Edit: Someone posted that the shop is on the West side of Decatur and its not. Its on the East side. West of the the 15 and East side of Decatur. Very centrally located. read more

This place is amazing, my car was leaking oil all over the place and needed the valve cover gasket replaced. A shop close to my house quoted me $500 for the repair, which seemed like a complete rip off. Then I found Arco on yelp, and when I called them up Ron quoted me 250 for the same job. I took my car there the next day, and the job was done quickly and neatly. They scraped the engine clean, and replaced everything that needed to be replaced at a very reasonable rate. I'm definitely coming back if my car needs anything else done. One thing to keep in mind though is that for some reason when you enter this address into a map app it'll say that the location is across the street from where it actually is. Arco is located on the West side of Decatur behind another auto shop. read more

I have used them for a few jobs that have always been done very quickly and at excellent pricing. Last week, my carthat only has 23,000 miles on it, the breaks started making a horrilble sound. I called to see if I could take it in. this was Saturday at 1pm, the owner told me they close early on weekends but for me to bring it in. I went there left the car a few hours he called me that they breaks were fixed. These people are great, especially the owner. read more

ANOTHER 5-STAR rating for this place & Ron. Short story: My import SUV broke down and the 1st shop, estimated double to nearly 3x what Ron at ARCO estimated for a timing belt. So I had it towed to Ron's shop. What really sold me on him, outside of all the 5star reviews he's received, was that he actually checked other far less expensive things that MIGHT have kept the truck from starting. I brought it to him in the afternoon and it was ready the following day! read more

Arco came highly recommended by several friends. It's hard to find a trustworthy and honest mechanic, but Mr Ron and the crew do top notch work at very competitive prices. I will be using Arco again for my car needs. read more

I have brought multiple cars to Ron with all sorts of problems. He is fair, honest, and compassionate in his business. He does his best to SAVE ME MONEY whenever he can. I love this guy. Seriously - I made him cookies. read more

Came to Vegas and brought some customers and had to stay for a day, on my way to Vegas down the hills did not feel good about my brake performance, on my off parked day in Vegas thought to check in to a Mecanic to look in to my brakes, I called one of my friends who has been doing mecanic job in Vegas but is working in LA now,he gave me ARCO auto repair phone number,I called ARCO auto center and talked to Ron and from first contact on the phone he took care of me, when I got there,he put my 33 feet Limo right away on the jack and did a 100% customer satisfaction job, as I have mentioned in most of my reviews,due to my job and always working with auto repair shops unfortunately I do not see to many auto repair shop who really care for customers but Ron and ARCO auto center are one of the auto repair shop who really care for customers and do their best. Thank you Ron,I appreciate your perfect work customer service. God Bless you read more

One of the most honest mechanics around. Went to him after a bad experience with perfect auto. Would recommend him to everyone

If I could leave Zero stars I would! Worst experience I've had. I took my car to Ron so he can get it fixed. (My car would stall and just turn off out a nowhere). After a few days he called me back and said my car was ready, I paid him and picked up my car. I didn't even make it out the parking lot when it started to stall and die AGAIN!! So I returned the car right back, 2 months later he FINALLY gives me a call back again and said my car was ready..... AND AGAIN, I BERLY MADE IT OUT THE PARKING LOT AND MY CAR STALLED AND DIED!!! I asked him what was going on! He then got upset with me for being upset, I asked him if he even worked on my car or if it was just sitting for 2 months and HE ADMITTED that he didn't touch my car for the whole 2 months!!!! I got my keys and my money back!! WASTE OF TIME!!! read more

I have used Ron for years on a fleet of about 10 cars. Work is always done fast and at a very fair price. Honest mechanic! I would recommend him to anyone! read more

My son took his car a 92 Honda Accord to get his window regulator replaced. They replaced it but told him they didnt have the right glue so they used some other glue to hold the part in place. And they couldnt even put the window back on track. He was told not to roll the window down so the part could set. After a couple days he tried rolling his window down and when he tried to roll it back up...it fell of the track completely. Arco Auto was recommended by someone and I will never return to this place to get anything done. Youre mechanincs are incompetent and useless. If there isnt proper equipment or tools to fix a car then you shouldnt be working on cars. When you provide a service to fix cars then thats what you need to do...fix cars. Dont do a half ass job on it. You do what you are paid to do. You charge an arm and a leg to get things fixed and you cant even do it right. You need to get your sh*t together and fix what you were paid to fix. read more

I went to the shop for an engine oil change & transmission fluid change.I left for 10 min to walk to near by business,when I return my visa was charged for a part replacement that I had not authorized,when I asked for my money back, He initially agree to return my money back ,He later change his mine and he will not return my money , I was told later by anther shop that my car has only one of these parts. this gay said he changed two of these parts that I had not authorized any way, I was ripped off by the shop ,I warn anyone thinking of going to this shop to stay away. read more

Bring your car to Ron and the rest will speak for itself. He is busy though he gives everyone the samw quality service so be patient and know your in good hands. read more

My name is Alvin Hogan a real customer of Arco Auto Center. I had a water pump installed on my 1990 Eagle Talon. The water pump worked just fine but, the power steering was now howling after the mechanic supposedly had bled it. He said it should stop the noise by the time I got home. About 10 days later I brought the car back because the noise did not stop. The mechanic checked it out and said that he didn't know what the problem was. The owner then informed me to not drive the vehicle because the belt was going to break again but, HE DON'T KNOW WHY! He then said that the car needed a (clips claps) -which turned out to really be a Harmonic Balancer-which he said was next to impossible to find for my old car. (Well I had no problem getting one from Auto Zone for considerably less than he charges) Anyway I went to the battery shop adjacent to Arco and Arco, - Arco for the loud noise the Harmonic Balancer was now making. Arco still had not obtained the part. The guy at the battery shop put POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR and the noise stopped, mostly. Ha the power steering is now leaking too. About 8 days later the water pump belt broke and he charged me to replace the belt. (Still no part). About 5 days later I went to Llantera El Rancho on Charleston 4002, and got brakes done only to charged( 2x) for the same job. 4days later my timing belt broke, wouldn't you know it. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL FOR MY PARTICULAR CAR WITH AN (INTERFERENCE ENGINE) THE TIMING BELT IS TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME ALSO. CHANGE EVERY 60,000 MILES. EVEN IF MINES HAD BEEN CHANGED AT 120,000 CHANGE IT AGAIN AT THE 149,156 MILES IT THEN HAD AND THE TIMING BELT WOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN. IT'S NOW POSSIBLE TO HAVE BENT VALVE/S!!! I TALKED TO THE OWNER HE SAID "BRING THE CAR IN AND I WILL HAVE A LOOK MONDAY. YEAH RIGHT. HE SAID NOW THAT I HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC LOOK AT THE PROBLEM IT VOIDS THE WARRANTY/GUARANTEE. WHAT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE EITHER OF THE TWO!!! I'm willing to let them try to rectify the problem, hey I even have my own parts. If not SEE YOU IN COURT- A REAL PERSON WITH A FIRST AND LAST NAME IN SIN CITY!!! read more

Great service, awesome gentleman Ron - always great to find a true professional! I made a few mistakes with other mechanics and this guy and his crew were incredible. Thanks for the hard work and doing your best always. Keep up the good work, I will always give you guys a thumbs up! read more

Ron asked me to pay 190 USD to replace air flow sensor yet he didnot fix the issue, I went to this mechanic three times in two days for the same issue and he said there might be another error that he cant fix. I asked him if he can at least give me a discount he refuse to do so. What a waste of time and money. read more

I think I got ripped off. I knew exactly what I needed after getting a diagnosis from the dealer. Ron gave me a quote over the phone for 2 items that needed to be replaced. When I went in for the appointment I reminded him of the quote and he said he would diagnose and then call me. He never called. When I called him, he decided on his own to replace only 1 of the items and magically came up with some other repairs that he made add up to the quoted amount. I still have to replace the 2nd item. Obviously, I won't be returning. read more

Think twice before you take your vehicle here for failed smog test. They had my vehicle for three weeks, replace several parts, spent over $400 and they could not fix it. I was told it was the computer and one could not be found. My vehicle is a 2001. I went to the internet myself and found one but it had be be programmed by a certified DMV mechanic. Arco does not qualify. So I took it to the dealer and in less than two hours they found the problem and it wasn't the computer. Arco maybe a good mechanic in other area but in this matter they failed completely. So let this be a warning! read more
