Drove into Reno on Friday for the weekend and our brakes started giving out. Saturday morning we…read moresearched brake repairs online and the Pit Shop was the first one to come up. I called the number and spoke with the owner Steve. Steve explained that they don't normally work on Saturdays but because we were in a bind, he would call one of his employees to see if he could do our brakes for us. Sure enough the employee came in and replaced all the brakes on our truck in a very short amount of time. We felt that we received excellent service and were treated very fairly with the price. The best part came when Steve's young nephew brought us each a handmade sign that said "have a nice day". That note really made everything better! Thanks Pit Shop for keeping us safe on the road!

Being from the Bay Area and finding myself stuck in Reno/Sparks with a car issue was not on my…read morebingo card for this trip. My Benz had been serviced incorrectly elsewhere, leaving me with too much oil, a leaking turbo, and a handful of other headaches--exactly the kind of situation you never want to deal with while out of town. Stephen and his crew at The Pit Shop, who genuinely turned a stressful mess into a surprisingly positive experience. From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, straightforward, and incredibly respectful of my situation and my wallet. Even when we discovered the turbo needed to be replaced (never a cheap day), they went above and beyond--finding competitive part prices, securing a solid warranty, and keeping me informed every step of the way. Most importantly, they made sure the car was repaired the right way so I could make the long drive back to the Bay with total peace of mind. Their honesty and workmanship were exactly what I needed at a moment when I felt pretty stranded. If you're in the Reno/Sparks area, I cannot recommend The Pit Shop enough. Stephen and his team are the kind of mechanics you hope to find but rarely do--skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring.

They informed my warranty company that the engine repair would cost $28,000 for my 2006 Dodge diesel.

A few weeks ago, I loaded my car down and headed to Burning Man. On my way over the pass on I80 my car started to smell like burning rubber and squeal while it was running. What does a girl do? I called my Dad! He said, call a mechanic!! I call these guys and asked how much it'd be too access the damage. He says free! So I head straight there! Long story short, they find out the smell was coming from my loose belt. They fixed it for free and had me back on the road within 15min!!! Did I mention this was 10:30pm on a Sunday night?!? Like I said, these guys are AMAZING!! If you're in a tight spot, call them!

Owner Robert Haney is a lifesaver. He is a family man and is a generous public servant. I made a…read moreday trip from Sac. Ca. on a Saturday. I ran around Reno and was about to head 4 hours to the Bay Area, but my power steering pulley broke and my vehicle was undrivable. I was in a bind. Mechanic shops would soon close within 3-4 hours and everybody knows that they are swamped on the weekends. Autozone referred me to Robert at Half/Price Auto and guaranteed that the fellas at Half/Price do great work. I gave Robert a call explained my predicament and he informed me that he would not only take care of me, but that he would stay past midnight if necessary to get me back on the road. Half/Price Auto is located on a shared driveway with several other warehouse businesses. It is a family owned business. When I arrived I was welcomed by Owner Robert Haney, his wife, daughter, her little dog, and mechanic staff. Robert stopped work on several other vehicles to expedite my repairs. I was quoted a fee of $45-$50 per hour for labor. Other mechanics in the area that I called quoted me labor fees from $80-$95. Robert offered to personally drop me and the misses off to the Peppermill Casino which is very near to the shop. After a couple hours we returned. I was informed that there were several other issues with my vehicle. It took maybe two additional hours to repair, but Robert only charged me what was originally quoted. I hopped in the car and continued our weekend excursion. I was very pleased with my experience at Half/Price Auto Repair. Thanks guys!! P.S. Robert informed me that his shop is open 7 days a week!!

Thursday night on my drive home, my check engine light came on. When I got home, I ran the code and…read moresaw it was a cylinder 4 misfire. The next morning, I called about four different auto shops, and every one of them told me the earliest they could get me in was by Wednesday, and some were even booked out two weeks. I decided to look for shops that were open on Saturday, hoping I could get in sooner. That's when I came across A+ Automotive and Smog on Google. I gave them a call, and Christian answered. I explained what was going on and asked when they might have an opening. To my surprise, he said to bring it down that same day, and he'd take a look at it. He also recommended having it towed in, which I did. Shortly after, he sent me a text to confirm that my car had arrived at the shop. A couple hours later, Christian called and explained that the issue was a faulty ignition coil. He walked me through how he diagnosed it and gave me two options: replace just the one faulty coil or replace all six. He recommended replacing all six since they were the same age and, in his words, "once one goes bad, the others usually aren't far behind." He was transparent about the pricing. It would be around $700 for just one coil or $950 for all six. He explained that Ford charges significantly more for a single part, and the total difference was only about $200. I decided to replace all six, and just a few hours later, he called to let me know my car was ready. I told him I'd have to wait for my wife to get off work before I could pick it up, and he said that was no problem at all. When I picked it up later that evening, my car was running perfectly smooth again. Between the quick turnaround, honest pricing, and excellent customer service, I can confidently say I've found my new mechanic. From now on, both my wife's car and mine will be going to A+ Automotive and Smog. Highly recommend this shop!

He called later that day and had found the leak, gave me a very fair quote and said it should be done in the next day or two. He called me the very next morning to pick it up.
