From emergency car repairs to having to replace parts that have failed, we are the one-stop auto shop Reno NV trusts when you want to get your automobile back on the road. If you own a car, chances are you will have to take it to an auto repair shop at some point. Even if you are meticulous about maintenance and follow all of the manufacturer's recommendations, eventually certain parts will wear out and you will need a repair.
Your car is one of your most important investments, making a trusted car-repair relationship crucial. There are numerous options when it comes to vehicle repairs, which can make it confusing for car owners. That's why we have highly trained, certified professionals to help. At American AutoAir and Repair we provide the auto repair Reno Nevada residents trust.
Lapsing maintenance on your car's fluid exchanges, dirty filters, bruised belts, and aging spark plugs can lead to bigger problems like busted-up radiators, slipping gear shifts, squealing brakes and/or engine failure. That's why routine maintenance is key to vehicle longevity and the true cost of vehicle ownership.
Many people underestimate how important their car's suspension system really is. The suspension in your vehicle is not just there to make your ride less bumpy like some people believe - it is a major part of the safety of your vehicle and how well it stops and handles on the road.
The suspension system affects your vehicle's steering, braking power, and stability - so it's important to have these functions inspected regularly and to replace parts when they become worn - and dangerous!There is a lot going into the steering and suspension of your car and as such, there are many forces and angles that have to acted upon and maintained.

Your car's electrical system consists of the battery, starter, and alternator - plus all the systems that utilize the power provided by the battery. The battery provides juice to the starter. Then, the alternator gives that battery the energy it needs to power your car. If one of these parts is not working, your car won't start or run correctly.

The folks at the auto hospital did a professional job in a hero's time frame. My wheel hub bearing has never been so quiet. 😎 My boys absolutely enjoyed their experience as meeting the mechanics son gave them plenty to do! For those stuck in a situation you may not be sure hot to fix, DEFINITELY bring it to the auto hospital!

Leaving this review on behalf of my father. The air conditioning in his car went out and this scam shop quoted a new air compressor for $1,400. Took it to the dealership for a second quote and one of the hoses simply had a leak. Was taken care of by the dealership for less than $200. Do your homework people! Scaming businesses like this prey on the ill informed.

I had a great experience - from booking the appointment to paying the bill! I am very appreciative of how transparent their billing is; I know exactly what I paid for and how much. I highly recommend this company!

Amazing service! Was able to leave my car there and walk back to my hotel by the airport. Left it there for a week for them to get to my repairs on their schedule. Got a call that it was done two days later and they parked it in front of the shop on the day I flew back in w/ my keys inside. Had my valet key w/ me to get in. 3 months ago, no problems since.

Don't bring your Chevy here!! I can't really speak about other brand cars, but we have three Chevys we have brought here in the last 3 months, and each time, we picked them up in worse condition than when we dropped them off.
One they kept for 5 days for a simple oil change, and we had to bring it back the day after we picked it up because they hadn't put something back correctly.
They broke the gear changer on another truck, even though that wasn't even an issue when we brought it in, and then the mechanic didn't take responsibility and wasn't going to cover the

They don't appear to repair. They swap out parts. Needed a slave cylinder replaced on A/C. They insisted on replacing the whole assembly. Much more expensive. Upcharged for parts.
We then needed a throttle body cleaned on same Ford. They claimed it had to be replaced. We took the car elsewhere as Ford has a manufacturers procedure for cleaning the throttle body but they only wanted to swap out parts and appear to upcharge selling parts.
They did not repair anything for us, just wanted to swap out for new parts which would meant they get a portion of part sales and labor.

Took my car here because of the good reviews. Wanted them to check out the AC system for leaks and maybe a recharge (no freon, previous owner disassembled the lines to replace the alternator) however, I didn't think they diagnosed it properly. Thinking they checked the compressor fuse, blower fan works on different speeds and injected leak detection dye when they pressurized the system. Was told no leaks found and compressor clutch has open circuit, needs new compressor (repair estimate of about $800). Got the car back after almost two hours (didn't think it'll take that long for
