I had a really great experience with North Valley Automotive. I brought my vehicle in because the heater had stopped working, and they were able to quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed. The team was friendly, professional, and the turnaround time was excellent. After I picked up my car, one of the lights on the dashboard came on, so I stopped back in. They were kind enough to reset the computer and told me to come back if it happened again. It hasn't come on since, so everything seems to be working perfectly. I truly appreciate their honesty, responsiveness, and the quality of their work. I will definitely bring my vehicle back here if I ever need service again. read more

Great service great owner take our vehicles there only mechanics are honest and do very good work

Best Mechanical service In the North Valley and surrounding areas.Worked with me on my payment Very Respectful,Honest Highly recommend.

This was my fourth time dropping my Jeep off and as always these guys didn't disappoint. Brent told me it may be a week and a half before he could get my radiator replaced, however true to form he had the job completed the next day. These guys are awesome! read more

Great shop, great service, great prices! Very busy place so be sure to call to schedule service. Luckily they were able to get me in first thing in the morning for an oil change. Only took about 30 minutes so was in and out. I'll def be back for more maintenance services. read more

An unexpected car issue turned great experience. I was recommended this place by my aunt. I called ahead of time to see if they could assist me with a new battery and installation service today. Brent was very helpful and told me to come on down and he'll get it all fixed. When I arrived the battery was ready to go and installation took about 20 mins from start to finish. The price was very reasonable and no hidden fees. Customer service was great and got my new battery as expected. Definitely saved me some time running around getting quotes or being without a car over the weekend. Thanks again North Valley Automotive team! You rock! read more

North Valley Automotive - The garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Excellent mechanic who won't rip you off. Since my car is out of warranty I needed an honest mechanic to find and I did. 2000.00 job quoted from dealer and NV did it for 140.00. I'll be back for sure read more

We've brought our vehicles here multiple times for multiple different reasons, whether it be for break changes, manifold repairs, etc. The service is great and they get your vehicles taken care of in a timely manner. I will definitely keep coming back. Their prices are affordable as well. read more

It's clear why these guys get five stars. They are friendly, professional and quite skilled. The owner has been in business for at least 15 years, apparently, and knows how to run a business right. He got us in same day since our issue was fixable in under an hour. He ordered and bought the parts quickly and we were out of there in a very short time. The car runs like a charm again. Prices were reasonable, as well. Highly recommended. read more

I had to get the timing belt changed on my Chevy Cruze. This was just preventative maintenance, but all the shops in Reno were outrageously priced. I called North Valley Auto and was helped by Brent. He was very honest and courteous. I was able to get my car scheduled in and have the service done within the time frame and price I was quoted. I will definitely be recommending this shop and using their services again. read more

The interior fan just stopped on my F-150 truck. I googled and tried some things that didn't work. Drove over hoping Brent might do some magic. They were extremely busy but he took about an hour to diagnose. Ordered a part and installed it that afternoon. Magic done! He said he was 95% sure that's what it was. I'll take his 95% any day. Final cost was very reasonable. read more

Referred to Brent and his shop by an area mechanic - I was looking for a good mechanic with reasonable rates. Glad I came here! First vehicle - AC stopped working, out of the blue. Dropped it off to Brent. Brent called me the next morning to tell me that the AC was blowing ice cold and he didn't see anything wrong. Went to pick up the vehicle and Brent didn't charge me for it. Later, I dropped off my son's truck to have the brakes fixed since it had started to grind. [Had previously taken the truck to the dealer for another issue and the dealer informed me of the issues with the brakes but their quote was too high!]. At any rate, Brent took a look at the truck and advised as to what needed to be done and gave me a very reasonable quote. Let's just say that the quote was about half of what the dealer had quoted. Needless to say, I was happy with the quote and gave Brent the go ahead. Picked up the truck later that day and it's been working great! Even took the truck on a road trip to Cali and the brakes worked quite well driving back in the train all the way from Oakland. Definitely recommend and I'll be taking my vehicles to Brent from now on! read more

Went back within the past month I trust them with my vehicle 100%. Super fair. Thanks again for the great service ! read more

We took our 2020 Ram 1500 in for a new starter. It was done quickly with a brand new starter and in and out in the same day. Excellent service, very fair price, much less than the dealership and they obtained a manufacturer OEM part. Thanks guys, and we will be back when we need automotive service in the future. read more

This is my go to shop and has done a ton of work for me on various vehicles. Reasonably priced, honest, exceptional work and top notch customer service. They are the only shop that touches my old 7.3. They are small and always busy so wait times may be longish to get in, but they are very much worth the wait. Highly recommend. read more

I've used Brett and the guys a few times Lots of integrity, I've been sent on my way with a hardy and shake and a less than expected bill, because my layman misdiagnosis was more expensive than the actual problem. read more

Very straightforward, honest service. I appreciated the whole interaction. Will definitely be going back

These guys are the typical North Valley sweethearts. Whenever I have a question or need car help they are my go to. There quotes always seem far and they are not looking to screw your over. Need a diagnostic to figure out what is really wrong, need repairs, they are you guys. So far they have ran two diagnostics for me and helped me to prioritize which things I need to get done first. They did a tune up with all new shocks and coils, helped this clueless single mom of three put some oil in her car with three screaming kids and were still so friendly and sweet. read more

Friendly staff, locally owned, and great service. Fixed my ac, diagnosed, and charged. Highly recommended for auto service if you are in the area. read more

We had tried going online and having "diesel techs" come to our house and help our truck which was dead for a good 5 months. They ended up taking our engine apart and leaving it, stealing tools and never coming back. We had it towed to North Valley Auto. This was the closest place we could tow it. They did an outstanding job with our truck putting it all back together and fixing what needed to be fixed. They know our 2002 7.3 diesel well. I didn't have to take it to a more expensive and longer wait diesel place. Thank God for that. A year later when more things started going wrong, they got us in and got it done..A+ work and attitude..AND took the time to show me things about my truck. THANK YOU for NOT making me feel like an idiot and for being true professionals. That is just as important as the work done in my opinion! read more

My radiator took a sh*t on me and I had my truck towed to their shop. Kody was extremely helpful, professional and quick with taking care of my vehicle. These guys won't screw you around, they'll fix your ride for an unbeatable price and have it back to you in a timely fashion. As long as Kody is there, it will be the only shop I take my vehicles to from now on. read more

Needed passenger side seatbelt buckle replaced on '06 F-150, I found the part and I didn't know where to go for install. Several places I called said cost would be around $100 just to install. I looked on our N Valley FB page and heard a lot of good things about this place. So I called and the guy I spoke with, who i think is the owner, said cost around $50. So I came in, he and one of his employees stopped what they were doing did it within 15 minutes. When I went to pay he said "don't worry about it". I was surprised. I wanted to pay, soand he said give me what read more

My dodge was broken down for 2 years with misfire cylinder 8. Thought it was the cam. Asked them to do a diag- took 2 hours ended up being a faulty distributor cap that was install previously to it running awful. Got it back, smogged it and for a great value. I loved their communication every step of the way. I recommend them to everyone for their honesty, integrity, and value for service. read more

They did a great job at a reasonable price. Very grateful to have this shop close to home. I will return and I recommend anyone to take their vehicle here. read more

Quick efficient someone I can trust my teenager to go to for repairs without getting intimidated and scammed with exorbitant unnecessary repair charges. read more

I had some minor damage to my car, and I called up and asked if I could swing by immediately. They said sure, and even did the quick repair for free! It was very generous of them and I'm definitely going to use them in the future. Thank you!! read more

Excellent place for all auto needs! These fellas are seriously outstanding! They've done some pretty extreme work for both my husband and I that they haven't charged an arm and a leg for! The prices at this establishment are very fair, especially for the heavier jobs! In addition, the staff is undeniably helpful and honest! Oh my word are they ever so honest?! They don't BS u, they get ya in and get the work done! And always in a timely manner! Finally found an automotive facility that does quality work that I can stand by!! If you're looking for trustworthy , and quality and clear communication, this is your place. You will not be disappointed!! read more

I asked my community who is a reliable and fair mechanic. 7 out of 10 told me to try this place. I checked out Yelp results and one person drives from south of town to this shop. So I took my car in to get the compressor replaced for my AC. They got me in quickly and fixed it that same day. $300 less than places in town. Only one other shop had this price. Ac works great, car runs great. Didn't try to sell me other repairs. Give them a try. Nice guys. Easy to talk to. Called to give me full details on a leak in my engine I asked about. I will return to them in the future. read more

These guys are great. Got my car in and done in a hurry. They did good work and price was reasonable.

Only mechanic in town (and I have lived here 49 years)I trust and he and his crew are the best of the best!! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

By far the most amazing auto repair shop around Reno, honest, quick and they are not going to rip you off. Brent and his guys are always consistently great! I wouldn't go anywhere else. My husband, co-workers and I have been going here for years, not 1 problem or complaint read more

Great guys at North Valley Automotive. Thanks Kody and Ben for fixing my vehicle. Great service at great price. Five stars!

These people are amazing. They get your car in ASAP, their honest, prices are fair and they know their business! Try them or refer.

Great customer service, friendly staff! They helped my car pass smog and were honest about what needed to be fixed right away and what could wait. Will definitely go back here!! read more

These guys have earned my respect and trust and I will always go to them for any of my auto needs. Local guys, very trustworthy. We live in south reno and it is totally worth the drive to the north valleys. My story: The brakes on our dodge started grinding. I go to Les Schwab for the free inspection because they are close to my home. I am told that my brake pads are completely gone and grinding metal, too dangerous to drive home and I should replace x, y and z for $550. I tell him I need to discuss with my husband and drive home very carefully and pretty scared. My husband tells me to call north valley automotive. We take the dodge in the next morning to Brent and Erik. They said my brake pads, rotors etc are completely fine and that a bolt had broken. They got the part, fixed it and it was only $120. Like I said, honest guys. read more

I trust these gentlemen with my vehicle, and that's not said lightly. My explorer was gifted to me from my father and it means the world to me, any problem that comes up I'm in the next day with explained answers and solutions, they even show me the old parts and explain how it works and how it failed. I do my best to keep up with it, and it feels like they have my back. They are smart, reasonable, honest and take it serious. I'll keep going to them with any vehicle. read more

10-13-2013 So yes I had to go back :( my check engine light came on! Ugh, shit two mos ago I had to just do my timing belt. Now what..... Crankshaft :( Ok, yes in heard the other review left and it did have me wondering, but needless to say Brad still worked with me and did the work all in one day at half the labor cost because I was just in in August for them to do my belt. Plus, he looked at my daughters car for free and and is replacing some belts for half. Yes, it sucks to have your car worked on but I won't be taking OUR Hondas anywhere else. read more

Excellent customer service! Very reasonable and affordable. The owner is extremely nice and takes time when needed for explanations. I drive from south Reno to take my car here for everything down to oil changes. They are busy because they are great at what they do and word gets around about good mechanics. read more

Absolutely awesome crew. They took me in quick and took care of everything in less than a day. This is the best place in town.

I absolutly love this place. Everyone there has such integrity. I have taken all of my cars there and was always happy with the results and I wasn't anxious or upset about the bill. VERY reasonable! I have grown to love these fellas and all the hard work they do that I refer them to everyone I know. They came to mine and my children's rescue when we bacame stranded on the freeway in a blizzard in Stead, NV when my belt broke. They got it back to their shop and fixed it - after hours even. This place appreciates it's customers and has the down and dirty hard work-ethic society is lacking. I am so proud of them. read more
