    The terrible immoral car professionals that you thought only existed in late night cartoons?…read moreThey're real and they own and operate Fallon Ford. If I could leave a rating with negative two stars, I would. I brought my car here in July of 2023 to get serviced for a recall on the power steering. I needed to get these repairs done before driving back to Oregon for school at the end of August. I made an appointment for two weeks from the day (better than the two months I would have had to wait for it to be fixed in Reno or Carson) and was told "we'll get you taken care of." I am not strong enough to drive without power steering, so my fiancé drove us out to Fallon (over an hour without power steering, which was scary and difficult) Appointment day comes, yes, the power steering is out, but you'll have to wait another month for a fix because they have to order the part. Previously I had been assured it would be fixed that day. So at this point it is unsafe to drive my car for almost a month. We drive again out to Fallon for a 9 AM appointment. They told us it would be about 4 hours to wait and we were encouraged to leave and come back. We left and killed time in a local park and got lunch. 3.5 hours later, we called to get an update to see if 4 hours was still an accurate estimate, and couldn't get through to anyone on the phone, despite calling multiple times and different departments. So we walked back, only to be told it'll probably be another 45 minutes or so, because they actually hadn't started on the car yet because of a miscommunication between the office and the mechanic. The guy we were talking to said "look I'm not going to make excuses, we didn't start it because usually we prioritize the people who are waiting around instead of leaving and coming back." Which was, in itself, an excuse. If you're not going to prioritize the car of the people who had a morning appointment, don't give people a timeline. They knew we weren't local and had driven together. It wasn't like I was just going home to wait, we weren't local and were just biding time eating lunch in the Safeway deli and sitting in the park. It ended up being an additional two hours waiting in the dealership for the car to be done, bringing the total to two appointments and the second appointment being an almost 7 hour wait, plus driving time to and from Reno, with excuses made left and right. I didn't make a fuss or anything but felt very disrespected and frustrated. They give us two carwash tokens "for the trouble and misunderstanding." We take them to the carwash, they aren't valid and we can't use them. To top it off, I received a voicemail (Which I saved and still have) a few weeks later, the week I was getting ready to move telling me that they had forgotten to take a picture of a part they had used, and would I be willing to drive back out to Fallon for them to get a picture? Sorry, but my previous experience doesn't exactly entice me to drive an hour and a half both ways to wait around for three hours for you guys to take a picture, and spend that money on the gas while prepping for a move. I understand that I was getting recall repairs done and you weren't making money from my services, so maybe there wasn't the need or the drive to go above and beyond to try and make up for the inconvenience of waiting almost a full workday for a repair that was supposed to take a handful of hours. It is now three years later: power steering is out again. We have since relocated: our local ford dealer tells us that the person who fixed it previously used an aftermarket part, and the entire unit now needs to be replaced. Since an aftermarket part was used, it does not qualify to be fixed under the recall, and we have to pay $4400 for an entirely new power steering unit. So they managed to screw us again three years later.

    Super smooth, easy process to buy a vehicle with Fallon Ford-Toyota. They may be a small-town…read moredealership, but they deliver big-town value & service. Really quick, responsive sales team, and an easy online process. They would have been fine to do this in-person, but they had the capacity to expedite this online. Highly recommend!

    Friendly, fast, efficient! Very easy to do business with, plus as affordable as car repairs can be…read more Highly recommend. High quality auto repair.

    I highly recommend Frank's shop for the reasons below…read more We came to Fallon to visit our son for a few days. When we arrived, our water pump was making noise and leaking coolant - not good in the desert in August! Before calling repair shops, I looked online to see what's involved in replacing a water pump on a 2012 Toyota Highlander. I've changed a few water pumps in my 50 years of driving, so I figured it's not a big deal. I was surprised at what it takes to do this job! Everything is so crammed into the engine compartment that it's a rather complex job. A Google search showed estimates of up to $900 for a mechanic to do the work. Yikes! Things aren't as simple and cheap as they used to be! I called around town to shops recommended by friends in town. Everyone was booked two weeks out, including Frank's. Cathy, who answered the phone, sounded sincerely sorry they didn't have an earlier appointment since we're here from out of town. I asked if I could bring it in anyway and leave it with them and we'd have our son pick it up when it's done. She said sure, and if they have a chance to work on it sooner, they would, but she couldn't promise it would be done before we planned to leave town. I figured we'd borrow our son's second car and return it on our next visit. Not ideal, since we live several hours away, but doable. I took the car in and Cathy wasn't there. I figured she's out to lunch, but then I learned that it was her birthday and Frank had given her the rest of the day off to be with her family. So Frank was covering the front desk. When I told him the situation, he also didn't make any promises, but I could tell he really wanted to help us out. We chatted for a little while, and he talked about when he ran the junior racing program at the local drag strip. From the photos and awards on the wall, I could tell this business has a long history in this town. Long story short, the work was completed the day before we planned to leave town, and the bill was considerably lower than I expected - a double win! Frank and his crew took wonderful care of us and our car. They're professional and are the kind of people I'd want to be friends with. Pros: Quality, Fair pricing, Professional, Friendly Cons: Too far from our home to be our regular mechanic
