I’ve been trusting Reno Vulcanizing Auto Care and Tires on Plumb Ln for auto repairs for the past few years. I used to take my car to the dealership for maintenance, however, after being told I needed numerous repairs, I was referred to Reno Vulcanizing for a second opinion. Reno Vulcanizing was honest with me and recommended only a couple of needed repairs. Since that time, I’ve only taken my car to Reno Vulcanizing because I know they are honest, ethical, and have integrity. I know I can trust them to make good recommendations and to take good care of me. They are professional and personable and treat their customers like family. I appreciate them so much and am so thankful for all they have done to help me with my auto repair needs
Not a good visit. Paid close to 300.00 for a cabin air filter change.
Samantha smiled as she changed me. Yes I went in Not knowing what was wrong. So diagnosed was close to 300.00. I always bring my vehicle here.
So if it's inspection is done on oil check then you missed it in May when I had an oil change and tune up.

Thank you for checking on things and making it right.
We have been using Reno Vulcanizing for years. Honest and competitive prices. Super friendly.
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.
Friendly, professional and affordable. Always fix the problem the first time. We have trusted them for years to work on our cars.
My grandfather & father have always trusted this place and now I really understand why. Ken & the team repaired my car quickly when other shops said it couldn't be done. I am so grateful for the excellent service I recieved here. They really went above and beyond. Thank you Reno Vulcanizing!
