Its not necessarily the cheapedt, but its the best quality and transparency.
Happy I took my car here! Reno Vulcanizing cares about transparency and saving the customer on unnecessary services and the staff was really nice.
Thank you for being so great to work with. It's hard to find a business that makes sure the job is done right and the customer is happy. You've always done that for me.
As and out of state buyer, I arranged with the auto dealer and Reno Vulcanizing for a pre-purchase inspection. Everyone I spoke with was pleasant and helpful. I was provided needed pictures and detailed information, and Marcus answered my questions thoroughly. From my end, it was a very easy and satisfactory transaction, even from a few states away. Thank you!
A+ customer service!! Ashley was so nice and the guys helped put my wheels in the trunk. I searched around town for this type of service and finally found it at Reno Vulcanizing. Thanks again I will be back 💯

I went in for a slow leak. Turns out there was a nail in the sidewall of my tire (they provided me a photo of it), so Roberto proposed several alternative tire options. I shopped around other dealerships, but Reno Vulcanizing matched the lowest price and since I had gotten my original Tesla replacements from Reno Vulcanizing and was pleased with them, I chose Michelin Cross Climate and am very pleased with them so far. Not sure yet of the range aspect, but they are quieter. Thank you, Roberto!
Amazing service friendly super helpful affordable and saved my car and my family from a total disaster happening thank you guys so much
Juan went above and beyond in making sure that we were done within one hour as we had another appointment and couldn’t wait two hours. He helped the technician with the service requests to accomplish this. Great hire! He truly knows what it is to provide great customer service!!
Had Mike the master mechanic and AZ work on our Toyota Pickup 1994. Had to have Mike come and listen to my rear brakes which were squeaky when I depressed the pedal. He immediately knew what it was and was hilarious when I suggested: “You see I am not crazy!” Well, in the genuine family atmosphere at Reno Vulc he said, “Well, that remains to be seen.” I love these people because they are so good at car stuff (I am absolutely not!), I trust them 100% and we have good laughs everytime I see them. Thank you all for being so kind and personal and then also having fantastic expertise.
Absolutely amazing! Service you can trust! What they tell you is what you need. No BS from major dealerships, just good quality care and honesty. My grandfather would only go to Reno vulcanizing and now I know why!!
Came with a hole in my oil filter freaking out about losing my engine. They were able to fit me in right away as I’m not from Reno and was on the road. I really appreciate you getting me in and saving my Truck. Front office person was super friendly. Tech who worked on my truck was also super nice and knowledgeable.
They always take good care of my car and me. Juan is an outstanding manager.
