These guys are awesome. I had a full brake job done here and it ended up being a little cheaper than what he originally told me it would cost.I had accidentally forgot my debit card and phone at my house and I took an Uber to the shop so I had no way of paying. They kindly gave me a ride to my house just so I can get my stuff. Very respectful and generous. They really didn’t have to do that but they knew I was just having a bad day and I just appreciate you guys for being so understanding and awesome!! I will be taking my car back to these guys because they are trustworthy.

Vinnys was fantastic. I have an electric vehicle and most smaller mechanics refuse to work on them. Not only did Vinnys agree to work on the car, they told me they are excited to start working on more EVs in the future! The issue turned out not to be related to the EV powertrain but they did a fantastic job and I will definitely be using them again. Work was completed ahead of schedule and under budget!

Vinnys is great place to take your car. They are able to schedule appointments in a timely manner, complete work within the time frame they give you, and have reasonable prices. They are always friendly and answer all of my questions. They send an online inspection report with an explanation of repairs needed and provide pictures too. They also call to go over the report with you. Seriously, this place is awesome. If you are looking for a reliable & trustworthy shop, this is the place.

I emailed on Tuesday after memorial day with my issue and they responded with a better quote than another shop and were able to get me in on Thursday of the same week. Cant say enough about their customer service, professionalism, quality work and customer satisfaction. Thank you very much. I will make this my preferred shop to have my 2010 tundra worked on.

I love their work, they get it done quickly and they do exceptional work. I have a 1997 toyota camry and theyve been able to fix it for the most part the first time.

I had a great experience taking my car into Vinny’s! They were super friendly and gave me a great quote. The work they had to get done was finished in a day! I will definitely be going back to Vinny’s for future repairs and services. I would recommend Vinny’s to anyone looking for an automative shop!

James at Vinnys was super helpful. He was in constant contact about my daughters truck and gave me what needed to be done as well as how to pay for it. I would Highly recommend Vinnys Automotive for fair pricing and great communications. It is nice to find a great place to work on your vehicles in Reno. He has all my business for future work as well. Thanks guys.

I stopped here while i was driving across country because my check engine light came on in my truck. Every other shop told me to get lost, besides these guys. I had a diagnosis and solution within minutes. Excellent service, professional & speedy work. VERY knowledgeable men. The front counter guy is a homie for sure. I was in and out. They made it a priority to get me back on the road safely. Even got ahold of me via phone days later to see how i was. I very much appreciate these guys and what they stand for. Best garage in reno. Thank you very much gentlemen.- jeremy

I recently purchased an old Lincoln Mark VIII as a secondary vehicle and it was having a few issues. Brought it in on a day they were already swamped and they were still willing to get it in if I could leave it for a while. Turned out to be quite a bit of work but they were able to do a good job and stay around the original quote despite additional problems popping up. Took a little longer to get it back on the street but I’d rather have these guys do a great job that takes a while vs a rushed job that isn’t 100% that some other places do. Great guys and they will continue to have my business.

Very pleased with this establishment! I waited to do the review for 6 months. Just to be sure. There have been no concerns. Everyone at Vinnys was great to work with. I median hopped my Subaru. With quite a bit of damage, they went out of the way to have the job done within the week. Crystal was always keeping in touch with me on the progress. The service was stellar. I recommend this shop, and I will be back

Dominic and team are the only mechanics in Nevada and California I trust with my vehicles. They are honest, affordable, and extremely knowledgeable. They work on my company vehicles, my family’s vehicles and even my new vehicles, I trust Dominic more than I do the manufacturer-dealer locations, and for good reason Vinny’s gets it done right the first time, I am a satisfied customer for over 15 years now!

Review №23

I was a first-timer, referred by a friend. In a nutshell: simply excellent. Dominic discussed with me various options for handling my situation. Once we decided on a repair plan, he kept me informed and was true to his estimate. Vinny’s is now my “go-to” automotive repair shop.

This was my first experience with Vinnys, it was a refreshing change. Dominic was very professional and treated me great. He took care of all of the issues on my vehicle and let me know what else needed attention. Ive had nothing but bad luck with local mechanics the last several years. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a new mechanic.Thanks Dominic!

I have been doing business with Vinnys for about three years. In all of my fix-it experiences, they have been professional, personable, honest and respectful. I used to do my own repairs, however age and new technologies have put a stop to most of that. I appreciate the way Dominique explains how the newer systems work and what can typically go wrong. Furthermore, I appreciate the time they take to diagnose problems which mostly brings about fixing it right the first time. I have recommended them to several of my friends.

Review №34

Compared to the chain shops or worse the dealerships, these guys are helpful knowledgeable and most importantly to me HONEST. Everyone I have dealt with has friendly and Im always treated like my time is as valuable as theirs. Great service at competitive prices. I go to Vinnys exclusively now.UpdateI am still beyond happy with Vinnys Automotive. The honesty is what keeps me coming back.If I dont need something done that in my absolute lack of knowledge I really think I need, they always let me know, very politely, that maybe it isnt necessary. They also do not hesitate to let you know what is going on and make helpful suggestions. The work done here is top notch and everyone is pleasant to deal with.

Got in at 2pm, out within an hour and a half! Diagnosed and fixed! Coil pack replaced, about $400+ but dont forget good work is worth every penny! Didnt have an appointment but these gentlemen were kind enough to help a lady in distress with a car that would hardly go! I made it home passing people! Thanks again Jeff for pointing me in the right direction and thank you Daniel for being so helpful! You guys are great!!I will be back.

I have been taking my vehicles both from business and personal to Vinnys for a number of years and the first thought that come to mind is honest and dependable. As a purchasing agent I often price out all services and Vinnys has always made the right recommendations, keeping our budget in mind. I would recommend them to anyone looking for honest dependable service.

Ive been to and worked at a few different places around town, and with a lot of different people.Working For Dominic was more than just a place to work, it was a pleasure. The idea that someone might not need something just because they think they need it, the full hearted intelligence and knowledge of the customers vehicle, not trying to sell something that isnt needed but recommending something that might be needed in the future, is very hard to come by when it comes to the automotive world. Dominic and his family have put a ton of effort and investments into the business, and its clear that they arent trying to get as much money as they can, but get as much trust as they can. They dont want to be rich with cash, but rich with people, and make enough to live and take care of their own family. The owners arent like CEOs going on a million vacations to the Bahamas or Hawaii for business trips, they are right there, every day, helping customers as much as possible and coming in on their days off to expand their values. And when Dominic did happen to leave for a week or so, he was getting schooling and educating himself.Obviously I can work on my own vehicle, however, I dont know anything in comparison to that shop, when I have questions, I call Dominic or get ahold of his service writer.Great boss, great attitude, son, father, husband, personality, family, GREAT BUSINESS!.Hi Dominic 😎

Incredible! They had my car in and out in less time than the in-n-out down the street! The cost was far lower than I expected too, they give u the price of the part that they get it at. By far friendliest and best mechanics Ive been to.

Ive been using vinnys for a long time now (over 10 years), Vinny and Dominick have always taken care of me. Most recently I had my Yukon throw a check engine light right before I was selling it the next day and I asked Dominick if he could take a look at it. He not only looked at it, he fixed the intake leak I had and I sold the vehicle the next day. Good people, I trust them with all of my cars.

My company has used Vinnies for our fleet maintenance the last couple of years, they do a great job of getting the vehicles in and out in a timely manor and do a thorough job. They are very good at taking care of the vehicles when we have an emergency and we need to get the vehicle back on the road!.

I have been going to Vinnies Automotive for 4 years now and I have trusted Dominic and his team with every car we own; from classis to new. 1973 International Harvester, Lexus, Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, and VW Phaeton. He is honest and upfront every time, If the boy told a lie I think his tongue with snap off. Dominic and his team work to find the best pricing and parts and will try to save you money instead of trying to add on items just to get the bill up. Just try Vinnies one time and you will be hooked.

Review №58

I bought a used car & Vinnys did the inspection on it. I have a check list from the mechanics at Vinnys stating that all major parts were in excellent working condition. I took the car after buying it to an independent auto shop & discovered that Vinnys mechanics put silicone around the water pump to prevent any buyer from noticing the leak! they also hid the fact that the tires were completely worn from being in desperate need of an alignment. After several attempts to speak with these so called mechanics I gave up and am having it repaired properly by reliable mechanics. These people take advantage of anyone & I have to pay to fix what Vinnys didnt but were paid to do. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CARS THERE FOR ANY REASON!! They are horrible and do not deserve anyones business.
